Phylus Melanocephalus
''Phylus melanocephalus'' is a European species of plant bugs belonging to the family Miridae, subfamily Phylinae. It is a slender bug long and feeds on oak An oak is a tree or shrub in the genus ''Quercus'' (; Latin "oak tree") of the beech family, Fagaceae. There are approximately 500 extant species of oaks. The common name "oak" also appears in the names of species in related genera, notably ''L ... trees. Its colour ranges from orange to greenish-brown and its head may be pale or dark. "''Phylus palliceps''" Paler specimens of ''P. melanocephalus'' were long referred to as separate species ''Phylus palliceps'', distinguished in particular by having a pale head, ''P. melanocephalus'' being restricted to insects with a dark head. Pagola-Carte ''et al.'' (2005) found no morphological or habitat differences between specimens referred to the two supposed species, and a continuous gradation of colour, and concluded the two should be synonymised.

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné Blunt (2004), p. 171. (), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was born in Råshult, the countryside of Småland, in southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he continued to collect an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Miridae
The Miridae are a large and diverse insect family at one time known by the taxonomic synonym Capsidae. Species in the family may be referred to as capsid bugs or "mirid bugs". Common names include plant bugs, leaf bugs, and grass bugs. It is the largest family of true bugs belonging to the suborder Heteroptera; it includes over 10,000 known species, and new ones are being described constantly. Most widely known mirids are species that are notorious agricultural pests that pierce plant tissues, feed on the sap, and sometimes transmit viral plant diseases. Some species however, are predatory. Description Miridae are small, terrestrial insects, usually oval-shaped or elongate and measuring less than in length. Many of them have a hunched look, because of the shape of the prothorax, which carries the head bent down. Some are brightly coloured and attractively patterned, others drab or dark, most being inconspicuous. Some genera are ant mimics at certain stages of life. The Mirida ...

Phylinae
Phylinae is a subfamily of the plant bug family Miridae. Species of this family are found worldwide. In research published in 2013, the subfamily Phylinae was reorganized. The tribe Auricillocorini is now considered a synonym of Hallodapini, and the tribe Pronotocrepini a synonym of the subtribe Cremnorrhina. New tribes were created under the new or resurrected names Decomiini, Exocarpocorini, Cremnorrhini, Nasocorini, and Semiini. The revised subfamily consists of nine tribes containing around 400 genera and over 2000 species. ; Subfamily Phylinae Douglas & Scott, 1865 : Tribe Cremnorrhinini Reuter, 1883 (sometimes spelled "Cremnorrhini") :: Subtribe Coatonocapsina Schuh & Menard, 2013 :: Subtribe Cremnorrhina Reuter, 1883 : Tribe Decomiini Schuh & Menard, 2013 : Tribe Exaeretini Futon, 1875 : Tribe Hallodapini Van Duzee, 1916 : Tribe Leucophoropterini Schuh, 1974 :: Subtribe Leucophoropterina Schuh, 1974 :: Subtribe Tuxedoina Schuh & Menard, 2013 : Tribe Nasocorini Reuter, 188 ...

Insects Described In 1767
Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body ( head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Their blood is not totally contained in vessels; some circulates in an open cavity known as the haemocoel. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The total number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million; In: potentially over 90% of the animal life forms on Earth are insects. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, which are dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans, which recent research has indicated insects are nested within. Nearly all insects hatch from egg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
