Lahejia Lefevrei
} ''Lahejia'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa and Asia. It is related to ''Malegia''. Taxonomy The genus was first created in 1896 by Charles Joseph Gahan for the single species '' Lahejia cinerascens'', which was collected by Lieutenant-Colonel John William Yerbury from Lahij, Yemen (spelled as "Lahej" in the paper). In 2002, Stefano Zoia determined that ''Pseudomalegia'' (a genus created by Martin Jacoby in 1897) was a synonym of ''Lahejia'', transferring to the latter genus six more species (while a seventh became a synonym of ''L. cinerascens''). In 2010, two further species were moved to the genus from ''Microlypesthes'' and ''Malegia'' in the sixth volume of the ''Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera''.

Charles Joseph Gahan
Charles Joseph Gahan (20 January 1862 – 21 January 1939) was an Irish entomologist who specialized in beetles, particularly the Cerambycidae. He served as keeper at the department of entomology in the British Museum (Natural History) for thirteen years after Charles Owen Waterhouse. He was born at Roscrea, County Tipperary, Ireland. His father, Michael Gahan was the Master of Erasmus Smith's School in Tipperary. He was educated first at Queens College Galway, where he achieved distinction, and then at the Royal School of Mines in Kensington. In 1882 he was awarded a medal and prizes as the best biological student of the session. In 1886, he joined the British Museum (Natural History) as an assistant in the Department of Zoology where he became Keeper in the then newly formed Department of Entomology in 1913. An expert on beetles, especially Cerambycidae, he wrote the 1906 volume of ''The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma'' on that group. Gahan served as honorar ...

Chrysomelidae Genera
The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 (and probably at least 50,000) species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but the precise taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research. Leaf beetles are partially recognizable by their tarsal formula, which appears to be 4-4-4, but is actually 5-5-5 as the fourth tarsal segment is very small and hidden by the third. As with many taxa, no single character defines the Chrysomelidae; instead, the family is delineated by a set of characters. Some lineages are only distinguished with difficulty from longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae), namely by the antennae not arising from frontal tubercles. Adult and larval leaf beetles feed on all sorts of plant tissue, and all species are fully herbivorous. Many are serious pests of cultivated plants, fo ...

Transactions Of The Entomological Society Of London
The Royal Entomological Society is devoted to the study of insects. Its aims are to disseminate information about insects and improving communication between entomologists. The society was founded in 1833 as the Entomological Society of London. It had many antecedents beginning as the Society of Entomologists of London. History The foundation of the society began with a meeting of "gentlemen and friends of entomological science", held on 3 May 1833 in the British Museum convened by Nicholas Aylward Vigors with the presidency of John George Children. Those present were the Reverend Frederick William Hope, Cardale Babington, William Yarrell, John Edward Gray, James Francis Stephens, Thomas Horsfield, George Thomas Rudd and George Robert Gray. Letters of Adrian Hardy Haworth, George Bennett and John Curtis were read where they expressed their regrets to be unable to attend the meeting. They decided that a society should be created for the promotion of the science of entomo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Édouard Lefèvre (22 January 183917 June 1894) was a French botanist and later entomologist who specialised in Coleoptera. He became a member of the Entomological Society of France Entomology () is the scientific study of insects, a branch of zoology. In the past the term "insect" was less specific, and historically the definition of entomology would also include the study of animals in other arthropod groups, such as arach ... in 1869, and twice served as president of the society in 1884 and 1893.
