Macrocephalini
The Macrocephalini are a tribe of ambush bugs, which are a subfamily (Phymatinae) of the assassin bug family (Reduviidae). They have a largely tropical distribution.

Phymatinae
Insects in the subfamily Phymatinae are commonly called ambush bugs after their habit of lying in wait for prey, relying on their superb camouflage. Armed with raptorial forelegs, ambush bugs routinely capture prey ten or more times their own size. They form a subgroup within the assassin bugs. Description Phymatinae are long. The most distinguishable trait of this group is the presence of pronounced raptorial forelegs. In ''Phymata'', the scutellum (insect), scutellum is triangular and shorter than the pronotum. In ''Macrocephalus'', the scutellum is narrow and rounded, extending to the tip of the abdomen. Phymatinae normally have a large fore arthropod leg, femur and clubbed Antenna (biology), antennae. The forewing Biological membrane, membranes sometimes lack distinct Cell (biology), cells. The antennae have four segments. There are two ocelli. The beak has three segments. The arthropod leg, tarsi also have three segments. The rear half of the abdomen expands beyond th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tribe (biology)
In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus, but below family and subfamily. It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes. By convention, all taxonomic ranks from genus upwards are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology, the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include the tribes Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany, the standard ending for the name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Hyacintheae. The tribe Hyacintheae is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology, the form of tribe names is as in botany, e.g., Pseudomonadeae, based on the ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
