Jules Putzeys
Jules Antoine Adolphe Henri Putzeys (1 May 1809 – 2 January 1882) was a Belgian magistrate and an entomologist who took a special interest in the beetles belonging to the family Carabidae. Putzeys was born in Liège and obtained a doctoral degree at the age of 20. He worked at the court of appeal in Liège and later as a substitute for the public prosecutor in Arlon. He moved to the Ministry of Justice in Brussels in 1840 and became a Secretary General in 1858. He was a member of the Commission Centrale de Statistique and was government commissioner for general and international statistics from 1879. He retired in 1880. In 1851, he was appointed a knight in the Order of Leopold and in 1871 a commander. Putzeys was also a respected amateur entomologist specializing in the study of beetles belonging to the family Carabidae. He was a close associate of Baron Maximilien de Chaudoir (1816-1881). He bequeathed his collection to the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences T ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Beetle
Beetles are insects that form the Taxonomic rank, order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Holometabola. 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 arthropods and 25% of all known animal species; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. However, the number of beetle species is challenged by the number of species in Fly, dipterans (flies) and hymenopterans (wasps). 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 ...

Carabidae
Ground beetles are a large, cosmopolitan family of beetles, the Carabidae, with more than 40,000 species worldwide, around 2,000 of which are found in North America and 2,700 in Europe. As of 2015, it is one of the 10 most species-rich animal families. They belong to the Adephaga. Members of the family are primarily carnivorous, but some members are herbivorous or omnivorous. Description and ecology Although their body shapes and coloring vary somewhat, most are shiny black or metallic and have ridged wing covers ( elytra). The elytra are fused in some species, particularly the large Carabinae, rendering the beetles unable to fly. The species '' Mormolyce phyllodes'' is known as violin beetle due to their peculiarly shaped elytra. All carabids except the quite primitive flanged bombardier beetles (Paussinae) have a groove on their fore leg tibiae bearing a comb of hairs used for cleaning their antennae.
