Glischrochilus
''Glischrochilus'' (sometimes misspelled as ''Glisrochilus'') is a genus of sap-feeding and predatory beetles under the Family (biology), family Nitidulidae, subfamily Cryptarchinae. Most members of this genus are commonly known as picnic beetles or beer bugs. Description ''Glischrochilus'' are Rectangle, oblong shiny black beetles with attractive yellow, red, or orange markings on their elytra. Their elytra are short and expose the upper surface of their last abdominal segments, a good way to distinguish them from the superficially similar but generally larger ''Megalodacne'' beetles. They are so similar that some species of ''Glischrochilus'' were once classified along with ''Megalodacne'' under the now reclassified genus ''Ips (genus), Ips''. Like other nitulidid beetles, adult ''Glischrochilus'' can be distinguished from other kinds of sap-feeding beetles by their characteristic 11-segmented antennae that end with a 3-segmented ball-like club. ''Glischrochilus'' are among the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
