Mecynorhina Ugandensis
''Mecynorhina ugandensis'' is a beetle from the subfamily Cetoniinae, tribe Goliathini, it was described by Julius Moser in 1907.Moser (J.), 1907. Beitrag zur Kenntniss der Cetoniden (3), Annales de la Société entomologique de Belgique, 51, p. 313 As suggested by its name, it is found in Uganda, but it is also present in adjacent parts of DR Congo. Description left, Male of M. ugandensis It is a large beetle, with males reaching 85 mm and females 60 mm in length. Classification According to the last work of De Palma & Frantz, this species is included in the subgenus ''Mecynorrhinella'' Marais and Holm, 1992, and is a subspecies of ''Mecynorhina torquata''. For a simplification, we will follow Allard considering ''ugandensis'' as a good species. Synonym Zdenĕk Tesař described in 1935 the ''Mecynorhina machulkai'' which is compared to ''Mecynorhina torquata'', he seems not to know the species described by Moser.

Mecynorhina Torquata Ugandensis (blue Male)
''Mecynorhina'' (frequently misspelled as ''Mecynorrhina''; the original spelling used a single "r" and the misspelling is not in prevailing usage, therefore not valid under the ICZN) are beetles from the subfamily Cetoniinae, tribe Goliathini. The genus was created by Frederick William Hope, in 1837. According to the last work of De Palma & Frantz, the type species of the genus is ''Scarabaeus polyphemus'' Fabricius, 1781. The genus is spread throughout the tropical African region. Taxonomy Former classification Formerly there were three species in the genus ''Mecynorhina'': * ''Mecynorhina oberthueri'' (Fairmaire, 1903) * ''Mecynorhina torquata'' (Drury, 1782) * ''Mecynorhina ugandensis'' (Moser, 1907) Some authors designated ''ugandensis'' as a subspecies of ''torquata''. ''Mecynorhina oberthuri'' was long thought to be the rarest species in its genus, however, Jean-Pierre Lequeux discovered that it is common in the forests of Tanzania. This species is now reared by m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sciences Nat
Sciences Nat was the academic publisher specialising in entomology of the Societé Sciences Nat. The society was established in 1971 and based in the rue de la Mare in Paris. Three years later it moved to the rue des Alouettes and later to Venette near Compiègne. The company was directed first by Roger Ehrman and then by Jacques Rigout. In 1981 the publication of '' The Beetles of the World'' started, a series of 30 volumes devoted to the Coleoptera. The 24 first were published by Sciences Nat, the later ones by Hillside Books, Canterbury. Sciences Nat also published several entomological monographs, mainly in English, such as: * ''The Parnassiinae of the World'', Jean-Claude Weiss. The first 2 parts published by Sciences Nat, the parts 3 and 4 by Hillside Books, Canterbury, the 5th part by Goecke & Evers, Germany. * ''The genus ''Morpho, Patrick Blandin.

Vincent Allard
Vincent Allard (18 December 1921 – 22 January 1994) was a Belgian entomologist. Born at Braine l'Alleud, south Brussels, Vincent Allard received his medical studies in France where he obtained several degrees from the University of Paris and Institut Pasteur in 1947 and 1948. In 1949 he was in the United States where he studied fungal diseases at the Harvard Medical School. Then he lived in Zaïre where he developed laboratories and was professor of histology general until 1975. He published several books and many works on Coleoptera.

Beetle
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ladybugs) eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops. Beetles typically have a particularly hard e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Arthropod
Arthropods (, (gen. ποδός)) are invertebrate animals with an exoskeleton, a Segmentation (biology), segmented body, and paired jointed appendages. Arthropods form the phylum Arthropoda. They are distinguished by their jointed limbs and Arthropod cuticle, cuticle made of chitin, often Mineralization (biology), mineralised with calcium carbonate. The arthropod body plan consists of segments, each with a pair of appendages. Arthropods are bilaterally symmetrical and their body possesses an exoskeleton, external skeleton. In order to keep growing, they must go through stages of moulting, a process by which they shed their exoskeleton to reveal a new one. Some species have wings. They are an extremely diverse group, with up to 10 million species. The haemocoel, an arthropod's internal cavity, through which its haemolymph – analogue of blood – circulates, accommodates its interior Organ (anatomy), organs; it has an open circulatory system. Like their exteriors, the internal or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cetoniinae
Flower chafers are a group of scarab beetles, comprising the subfamily Cetoniinae. Many species are diurnal and visit flowers for pollen and nectar, or to browse on the petals. Some species also feed on fruit. The group is also called fruit and flower chafers, flower beetles and flower scarabs. There are around 4,000 species, many of them still undescribed. Twelve tribes are presently recognized: Cetoniini, Cremastocheilini, Diplognathini, Goliathini, Gymnetini, Phaedimini, Schizorhinini, Stenotarsiini, Taenioderini, Trichiini, Valgini, and Xiphoscelidini. The tribe Gymnetini is the biggest of the American tribes, and Goliathini contains the largest species, and is mainly found in the rainforest regions of Africa. Description Adult flower chafers are usually brightly coloured beetles, often metallic, and somewhat flattened in shape. The insertions of the antennae are visible from above, while the mandibles and labrum are hidden by the clypeus. The elytra lack a n ...
