Paramordellaria
''Paramordellaria'' is a genus of tumbling flower beetles in the family Mordellidae. There are at least two described species in ''Paramordellaria''. Joel Hallan's Biology Catalog, no longer online, shows ''Paramordellaria ivoirensis'' as the only species of ''Paramordellaria''. GBIF, ITIS, and Catalogue of Life list the two species ''P. carinata'' and ''P. triloba'' but not ''P. ivoirensis''. Species These species belong to the genus ''Paramordellaria'': * '' Paramordellaria carinata'' (Smith, 1883) * '' Paramordellaria ivoirensis'' Ermisch, 1968 * '' Paramordellaria triloba'' (Say, 1824) i c g b Data sources: i = ITIS, c = Catalogue of Life, g = GBIF, b = Bugguide.net References Further reading * * * * * * * * * External links * Mordellidae {{mordellidae-stub ...

Tumbling Flower Beetle
The Mordellidae are a family of beetles commonly known as tumbling flower beetles for the typical irregular movements they make when escaping predators, or as pintail beetles due to their abdominal tip which aids them in performing these tumbling movements. Worldwide, there are about 1500 species. Anatomy The apparently tumbling movements are composed of a series of very rapid separate jumps (each jump of a duration of approximately 80 ms). They result from the beetle's efforts to get itself back into take-off position for flight when it has been in either lateral or dorsal position. Each individual jump should be considered as an extended rotation, performed by one leg of the third leg pair (metapodium). Depending on whether the left or the right metapodium is used as the leg that provides the leverage for take-off, change occurs in the direction of the jump. The energy for propulsion varies with the beetle's immediate muscle work, so that jump lengths and heights vary, with ro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
