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] |

Phaleria (beetle)
''Phaleria'' is a genus of darkling beetles belonging to the family Tenebrionidae. Alternative classifications Three previously recognized genera are now included within ''Phaleria'': ''Epithaleria'' Lewis 1894 (two Japanese species), ''Phalerisida'' Kulzer 1959 (one South American species), and ''Atahualpina'' Español 1960 (one South American species). ''Epithaleria'' has also been used as a subgenus for three species of ''Phaleria'', but Triplehorn (1991) concludes that there is no basis for this. Species The following species have been placed in the genus ''Phaleria'': * '' Phaleria acuminata'' Küster, 1852 * '' Phaleria anjae'' Lillig, 2010 * '' Phaleria atlantica'' Fauvel, 1899 * '' Phaleria atriceps'' (Lewis, 1894) (sometimes placed in subgenus ''Epiphaleria'') * '' Phaleria bigoti'' Ardoin, 1969 * '' Phaleria bimaculata'' ( Linnaeus, 1767) * '' Phaleria cadaverina'' (Fabricius, 1792) * ''Phaleria cayennensis'' Laporte de Castelnau, 1840 * ''Phaleria championi'' Tripl ...
