Phratora Laticollis
''Phratora laticollis'' is a species of Chrysomelidae, leaf beetle found in Europe and Asia. This beetle is found on ''Populus'' species and the chemistry and production of its larval defensive secretions and host plant relationships have been studied extensively. Description This small (3.7–5 mm) beetle is similar and size and coloration to other species of ''Phratora''. Adults are typically metallic blue or green. In Europe, it is most likely to co-occur on Populus host species with two other ''Phratora'' species ''Phratora vitellinae'' and ''Phratora atrovirens''. It is larger and more abundant than ''P. atrovirens'' and somewhat narrower in body shape than ''P. vitellinae''. Eggs are typically laid in clutches of 8–16, arranged in rows on the underside of the host leaf. Like other ''Phratora'' species, eggs are partially covered with a crusty secretion. Larvae feed in groups in early instars (molts), and sometimes show color polymorphisms. Range ''Phratora laticollis'' ha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Christian Wilhelm Ludwig Eduard Suffrian
Christian Wilhelm Ludwig Eduard Suffrian (21 January 1805, Wünsdorf, Teltow-Fläming – 18 August 1876, Bad Rehburg ) was a German entomologist who specialized in Coleoptera especially Chrysomelidae. He was a schoolteacher in Münster. Suffrian wrote many short papers and several monographs in both of which he described new species and genera.

Beetles Of Europe
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 exosk ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chrysomelinae
The Chrysomelinae are a subfamily of leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae), commonly known as broad-bodied leaf beetles or broad-shouldered leaf beetles. It includes some 3,000 species around the world. The best-known member is the notorious Colorado potato beetle (''Leptinotarsa decemlineata''), an important agricultural pest. Description Adults of Chrysomelinae are beetles with the following features: antennae inserted on or adjacent to anterior edge of head; inner face of each mandible with large membranous prostheca; each wing with only one anal cell (sometimes the wings are reduced or absent); metendosternite lateral arms without lobes; femora without internal spring sclerite; tibial spurs absent; tarsi without bifid setae; stridulatory mechanism absent; male aedeagus without tegminal ring and the testes not fused within a common membrane; female kotpresse absent.

Barcode Of Life Data Systems
The Barcode of Life Data System (commonly known as BOLD or BOLDSystems) is a web platform specifically devoted to DNA barcoding. It is a cloud-based data storage and analysis platform developed at the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics in Canada. It consists of four main modules, a data portal, an educational portal, a registry of BINs (putative species), and a data collection and analysis workbench which provides an online platform for analyzing DNA sequences. Since its launch in 2005, BOLD has been extended to provide a range of functionality including data organization, validation, visualization and publication. The most recent version of the system, version 4, launched in 2017, brings a set of improvements supporting data collection and analysis but also includes novel functionality improving data dissemination, citation, and annotation. Before November 16, 2020, BOLD already contained barcode sequences for 318,105 formally described species covering animals, plants, fungi, protist ...

Symmorphus Bifasciatus
''Symmorphus bifasciatus'', the willow mason-wasp, is a species of potter wasp, from the subfamily Eumeninae of the social wasp family Vespidae which is widely distributed in the Palearctic region. Description ''Symmorphus bifasciatus''is one of the two small '' Symmorphus'' species found in Britain which have a transverse ridge along the front edge of the pronotum. It is distinguished from the other '' Symmorphus connexus'' by having denser punctures on the mesonotum, mesopleuron and frons, and because it normally shows yellow patches on the pronotum and scutellum. Distribution ''Symmorphus bifasciatus'' is found from Great Britain, as far north as Highland in northern Scotland, east to north eastern Siberia, Korea and Japan, south to Central Asia.

Tachinid
The Tachinidae are a large and variable family of true flies within the insect order Diptera, with more than 8,200 known species and many more to be discovered. Over 1,300 species have been described in North America alone. Insects in this family commonly are called tachinid flies or simply tachinids. As far as is known, they all are protelean parasitoids, or occasionally parasites, of arthropods, usually other insects. The family is known from many habitats in all zoogeographical regions and is especially diverse in South America. Life cycle Reproductive strategies vary greatly between Tachinid species, largely, but not always clearly, according to their respective life cycles. This means that they tend to be generalists rather than specialists. Comparatively few are restricted to a single host species, so there is little tendency towards the close co-evolution one finds in the adaptations of many specialist species to their hosts, such as are typical of protelean parasito ...

Phratora Vulgatissima
Phratora is a genus of leaf beetles. It is synonymous to ''Phyllodecta'' . European ''Phratora'' species can be distinguished based on morphology of female genitalia., but they differ little in size and body form and most show metallic coloration. Distribution ''Phratora'' species are found in the Northern Hemisphere in areas that tend to be cool and moist where their host plants thrive. They are usually found in Northern and Southern Europe, China and Japan, and in Canada and the United States of America. Host plants Species in this genus are of considerable interest to evolutionary ecology researchers because they vary with respect to host plant preference and chemistry of their larval defensive secretions. ''Phratora'' species are known to feed on willows ('' Phratora americana, P. frosti, P. interstitialis, P. tibialis, Phratora vitellinae, Phratora vulgatissima, P. polaris, P. purpurea''), poplars (''Phratora laticollis, P. atrovirens, Phratora vitellinae, P ...
