''Aegus'' is a genus of stag beetles in the family Lucanidae. Comprising about 260 species in the genus, they are placed in the largest subfamily Lucaninae The Lucaninae comprise the largest subfamily of the stag beetles (Lucanidae). Characteristics include partial to complete division of the eyes by a canthus, geniculate antennae, and distinctly separated coxae. The body is typically elongate .... They are distributed in South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific countries, but introduced accidentally to many parts of the islands. Primarily saproxylic, adult beetles and grubs are commonly found in decaying wood and stumps with abundant fungal growth. Species The species show dramatic external intraspecific variation resulting from sexual dimorphism and male polymorphism. * '' Aegus acuminatus'' (Fabricius, 1801) * '' Aegus alternatus'' (Fairmaire 1881) * '' Aegus lansbergei'' Boileau 1902 * '' Aegus bidens'' Möllenkamp 1902 * '' Aegus brevimandibularis'' Nagai 1994 ...

Apterocyclus
''Apterocyclus'' is a genus of rare stag beetles in the family Lucanidae. There are about five described species in ''Apterocyclus''. The species of ''Apterocyclus'' are found only on the island of Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands The Hawaiian Islands ( haw, Nā Mokupuni o Hawai‘i) are an archipelago of eight major islands, several atolls, and numerous smaller islets in the North Pacific Ocean, extending some from the island of Hawaii in the south to northernmost Kur ..., and are the only scarabaeoid beetles native to the Hawaiian Islands. The ''Apterocyclus'' are flightless stag beetles, ranging in size from 14 to 23 mm. There are five recently extant species, although some may now be extinct. More than 130 specimens of Apterocyclus were studied between 1871 and 1922, but very few specimens have been found and placed in institutional collections over the past 50 years. Only three of the five species have been confirmed living since the late 1960s (''Apterocyclus honolulue ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cacostomus Squamosus
''Cacostomus squamosus'' is a beetle of the family Lucanidae found in Australia. It is a diurnal species reaching a length up to 25 mm in males; it occurs on flowers in the eastern coastal forests of Australia.

Stag Beetle
Stag beetles are a family of about 1,200 species of beetles in the family Lucanidae, currently classified in four subfamilies.Smith, A.B.T. (2006). A review of the family-group names for the superfamily Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) with corrections to nomenclature and a current classification. The Coleopterists Bulletin 60:144–204. Some species grow to over , but most to about . Overview The English name is derived from the large and distinctive mandibles found on the males of most species, which resemble the antlers of stags. A well-known species in much of Europe is ''Lucanus cervus'', referred to in some European countries (including the United Kingdom) as ''the'' stag beetle; it is the largest terrestrial insect in Europe. Pliny the Elder noted that Nigidius called the beetle ''lucanus'' after the Italian region of Lucania where they were used as amulets. The scientific name of ''Lucanus cervus'' adds ''cervus'', deer.

Cardanus (beetle)
Gerolamo Cardano (; also Girolamo or Geronimo; french: link=no, Jérôme Cardan; la, Hieronymus Cardanus; 24 September 1501– 21 September 1576) was an Italian polymath, whose interests and proficiencies ranged through those of mathematician, physician, biologist, physicist, chemist, astrologer, astronomer, philosopher, writer, and gambler. He was one of the most influential mathematicians of the Renaissance, and was one of the key figures in the foundation of probability and the earliest introducer of the binomial coefficients and the binomial theorem in the Western world. He wrote more than 200 works on science. Cardano partially invented and described several mechanical devices including the combination lock, the gimbal consisting of three concentric rings allowing a supported compass or gyroscope to rotate freely, and the Cardan shaft with universal joints, which allows the transmission of rotary motion at various angles and is used in vehicles to this day. He made signific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
