Pedinini
Pedinini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are about 19 genera in Pedinini. In research by Kamiński et al. published in 2021, Pedinini and six other tribes were moved from Tenebrioninae into the newly resurrected subfamily Blaptinae. These tribes contained 281 genera and about 4000 species, about 50% of Tenebrioninae. The new classification was followed by Bouchard et al. the same year. Genera These genera belong to the tribe Pedinini: * '' Amatodes'' Dejean, 1834 (tropical Africa) * '' Ametrocera'' Fåhraeus, 1870 (tropical Africa) * '' Anaxius'' Fåhraeus, 1870 (tropical Africa) * '' Apsheronellus'' Bogatchev, 1967 (the Palearctic) * '' Aptila'' Fåhraeus, 1870 (tropical Africa) * '' Asidodema'' Koch, 1958 (tropical Africa) * '' Blastarnodes'' Koch, 1958 (tropical Africa) * '' Cabirutus'' Strand, 1929 (the Palearctic and Indomalaya) * '' Colpotinus'' Fairmaire, 1891 (the Palearctic) * '' Diestecopus'' Solier, 1848 (tropical Africa) * ' ...

Darkling Beetle
Darkling beetle is the common name for members of the beetle family Tenebrionidae. The number of species in the Tenebrionidae is estimated at more than 20,000 and the family is cosmopolitan in distribution. Taxonomy ''Tenebrio'' is the Latin generic name that Carl Linnaeus assigned to some flour beetles in his ''10th edition of Systema Naturae'' 1758-59. The word means "seeker of dark places" (or figuratively a trickster); an English language analogy is "darkling". Numerous Tenebrionidae species do inhabit dark places, however, there are many species in genera such as ''Stenocara'' and ''Onymacris'', which are active by day and inactive at night. The family covers a varied range of forms, such that classification presents great difficulties. These eleven subfamilies were listed in the 2021 review by Bouchard, Bousquet, ''et al.'', updating a similar catalog from 2005.Bouchard, Patrice. Lawrence, John F. Davies, Anthony E. Newton, Alfred F. Synoptic Classification of the World Te ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tenebrioninae
Tenebrioninae is the largest subfamily of the darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae), containing flour beetles, among others. Tenebrioninae contains more than 20 tribes. Description Adults Adults are robust, mid-sized beetles that typically have elytra with some sort of corrugation on the upper side. They are typically black, dark brown or grey, and often have a satiny sheen. The body is shaped like a medication capsule or like a bullet; the legs can be short and stout or long and spindly. They eat both fresh and decaying vegetation, including vegetable produce, and several are commercially important pests of flour and other cereal products. The subfamily has been characterized as adults having mandibles with the back opposite the cutting edge, without margination and excavated opposite the molar pait; having ocelli arranged in two transverse, crescent shaped or circular groups on each side of head, and with five more or less fused lenses; having antennae with basal articles noti ...

Nicandra (beetle)
''Nicandra '' is a genus of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae, native to western South America. It was first described by Michel Adanson in 1763. The genus is named for Greek poet Nicander of Colophon, who wrote about plants – notably in his poem ''Alexipharmaca'', which treats of poisons and their antidotes. , Plants of the World Online Plants of the World Online (POWO) is an online database published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. It was launched in March 2017 with the ultimate aim being "to enable users to access information on all the world's known seed-bearing plants by ... accepted three species: *'' Nicandra john-tyleriana'' S.Leiva & Pereyra *'' Nicandra physalodes'' (L.) Gaertn. *'' Nicandra yacheriana'' S.Leiva From 1763 until 2007, when ''Nicandra john-tyleriana'' was described, the only species in the genus was ''Nicandra physalodes''.
