Pseudocanthon
''Pseudocanthon'' is a genus of (formerly canthonini) in the beetle family Scarabaeidae. There are about nine described species in ''Pseudocanthon''. Species These nine species belong to the genus ''Pseudocanthon'': * ''Pseudocanthon caeranus'' Matthews, 1966 * ''Pseudocanthon chlorizans'' (Bates, 1887) * ''Pseudocanthon iuanalaoi'' Matthews, 1966 * ''Pseudocanthon ivanalaoi'' Matthews * ''Pseudocanthon jamaicensis'' Matthews, 1966 * ''Pseudocanthon perplexus'' (LeConte, 1847) (four-toothed dung beetle) * ''Pseudocanthon sylvaticus'' Matthews, 1966 * ''Pseudocanthon vitraci'' (Fleutiaux & Sallé, 1889) * ''Pseudocanthon xanthurus'' (Blanchard, 1846) References Further reading * * * * External links * Deltochilini Articles created by Qbugbot {{Scarabaeinae-stub ...

Pseudocanthon Perplexus
''Pseudocanthon perplexus'', the four-toothed dung beetle, is a species of (formerly canthonini) in the family Scarabaeidae The family Scarabaeidae, as currently defined, consists of over 30,000 species of beetles worldwide; they are often called scarabs or scarab beetles. The classification of this family has undergone significant change in recent years. Several sub ....

Deltochilini
Deltochilini (or Canthonini) is a tribe of scarab beetles, in the dung beetle subfamily ( Scarabaeinae). Members of this group vary widely in size (2–33 mm long) and shape, but were thought to be derived from an ancient ball-rolling lineage. The outer edges of the front tibiae have less than four teeth. The grouping based on these characteristics has, however, been found to have little phylogenetic validity, and the placement of several genera in the tribe is likely to change. Taxonomy There has been some controversy regarding the valid name for this tribe. Deltochilini is the senior name, and has precedence under the ICZN, but in 2006, Smith suggested that the name Canthonini, though junior, might be preserved under Code Article 35.5, which can be used to preserve junior names if they are higher in taxonomic rank than the senior names of constituent taxa.Smith, A.B.T.

Henry Walter Bates
Henry Walter Bates (8 February 1825, in Leicester – 16 February 1892, in London) was an English naturalist and explorer who gave the first scientific account of mimicry in animals. He was most famous for his expedition to the rainforests of the Amazon with Alfred Russel Wallace, starting in 1848. Wallace returned in 1852, but lost his collection on the return voyage when his ship caught fire. When Bates arrived home in 1859 after a full eleven years, he had sent back over 14,712 species (mostly of insects) of which 8,000 were (according to Bates, but see Van Wyhe) new to science. Bates wrote up his findings in his best-known work, '' The Naturalist on the River Amazons''. Life Bates was born in Leicester to a literate middle-class family. However, like Wallace, T.H. Huxley and Herbert Spencer, he had a normal education to the age of about 13 when he became apprenticed to a hosiery manufacturer. He joined the Mechanics' Institute (which had a library), studied in his sp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
