Maximilien Chaudoir
Maximilien Chaudoir, or Maximilien, baron de Chaudoir, (12 September 1816, Ivnitsa, near Zhitomir – 6 May 1881, Amélie-les-Bains) was a Russian entomologist. He was a specialist in Coleoptera and in particular the Carabidae. His Cicindelidae are conserved by the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris. His Carabidae were acquired by Charles Oberthür (1845–1924), then given to the same museum. He wrote ''Mémoire sur la famille des Carabiques'', 6 volumes commencing 1848. Life and work Chaudoir was born in Ivnitza, about 30 kilometres from Jitomir, Ukraine. The family may come from a line of French Protestant emigrants who fled in 1685 or from Belgium. The subsequent roots have been traced to Antoine de Chaudoire from Poland whose son worked in the court of Stanislas-Auguste Poniatowski until his abdication in 1795, after which he moved to Bavaria where he received the hereditary title of Baron from Maximilien Joseph II in 1814. His son Stanislav (1790–1858) marrie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ground Beetle
Ground beetles are a large, cosmopolitan family of beetles, the Carabidae, with more than 40,000 species worldwide, around 2,000 of which are found in North America and 2,700 in Europe. As of 2015, it is one of the 10 most species-rich animal families. They belong to the Adephaga. Members of the family are primarily carnivorous, but some members are phytophagous or omnivorous. Description and ecology Although their body shapes and coloring vary somewhat, most are shiny black or metallic and have ridged wing covers (elytra). The elytra are fused in some species, particularly the large Carabinae, rendering the beetles unable to fly. The species ''Mormolyce phyllodes'' is known as violin beetle due to their peculiarly shaped elytra. All carabids except the quite primitive flanged bombardier beetles (Paussinae) have a groove on their fore leg tibiae bearing a comb of hairs used for cleaning their antennae.

Orthogoniinae
Orthogoniinae is a subfamily of ground beetles (family Carabidae). Occasionally it was treated as a tribe Orthogoniini of subfamily Harpalinae Harpalinae is a huge subfamily of ground beetles that contains 20,000 species or ~6,400 spp. in 24 tribes worldwide, according to others. A rarely used common name for the subfamily is the harp beetles. The Harpalinae contain the most apomorphi ..., particularly when this was circumscribed loosely. It contains the following genera: * '' Actenoncus'' Chaudoir, 1871 * '' Amorphomerus'' Sloane, 1923 * '' Anoncopeucus'' Chaudoir, 1871 * '' Glyptus'' Brulle, 1835 * '' Hexachaetus'' Chaudoir, 1871 * '' Idiomorphus'' Chaudoir, 1846 * '' Neoglyptus'' Basilewsky, 1953 * '' Neoorthogonius'' Tian & Deuve, 2006 * '' Nepalorthogonius'' Habu, 1979 * '' Orthogonius'' Macleay, 1825 * '' Perochnoristhus'' Basilewsky, 1973 * '' Rathymus'' Dejean, 1831 * '' Strigia'' Brulle, 1834 References Beetle subfamilies {{Orthogoniinae-stub ...
