Typhaea Stercorea
''Typhaea stercorea'' is a cosmopolitan species of beetle of the family (biology), family Mycetophagidae, known by the common name hairy fungus beetle. Description Adult ''T. stercorea'' are 2.2–3.0 mm long, oval, brown, flattened, and have hairy elytra with parallel lines of fine hairs. Antennae are 3 segmented and the head is readily visible from above, distinguishing the hairy fungus beetle from some similar species. At 25 °C and 80-90 RH, development from egg to adult takes 21 to 33 days. The larvae are able to move easily and the adults can run fast and fly well. It is a generalist feeder associated with moldy or damp conditions. Its presence in stored grain indicates poor storage conditions. It is a minor pest of freshly harvested or slightly damp grain grain. Damage is not distinctive and is caused by both adult and larval feeding. Stored products consumed include: moldy cereals, tobacco, peanuts, and hay. The species also eats fungi that grow on damp food. This speci ...

Mycetophagidae
The Mycetophagidae or hairy fungus beetles are a family of beetles in the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. The different species are between 1.0 and 6.5 mm in length. The larvae and adults live in decaying leaf litter, fungi, and under bark. Most species feed on fungi (hence the name). Worldwide, the 18 genera contain around 200 species. Genera These 15 genera belong to the family Mycetophagidae: * '' Afrotyphaeola'' Lawrence, Escalona, Leschen & Ślipiński, 2014 * ''Berginus'' Erichson, 1846 * '' Crowsonium'' Abdullah, 1964 * '' Esarcus'' Reiche, 1864 * '' Eulagius'' Motschulsky, 1845 * '' Litargops'' Reitter, 1880 * ''Litargus'' Erichson, 1846 * ''Mycetophagus'' Hellwig in Schneider, 1792 * '' Nototriphyllus'' Lawrence, Escalona, Leschen & Ślipiński, 2014 * '' Pseudotriphyllus'' Reitter, 1880 * ''Thrimolus'' Casey, 1900 * ''Triphyllus'' Dejean, 1821 * ''Typhaea'' Curtis, 1830 * '' Typhaeola'' Ganglbauer, 1899 * '' Zeclaviger'' Lawrence, Escalona, Leschen & Ślipiński, 20 ...

Beetles
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 e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
