Thasycles
''Thasycles'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is endemic to New Caledonia. For a long time it was treated as a synonym of ''Dematochroma'', until it was reinstated as a valid genus in 2022. Species Eleven species are included in the genus: * ''Thasycles castaneus'' Gómez-Zurita, 2022 * ''Thasycles compactus'' Gómez-Zurita, 2022 * ''Thasycles cordiformis'' Félicien Chapuis, Chapuis, 1874 * ''Thasycles fuscus'' (Jolivet, Verma & Mille, 2007) * ''Thasycles grandis'' Gómez-Zurita, 2022 * ''Thasycles laboulbenei'' (Xavier Montrouzier, Montrouzier, 1861) * ''Thasycles magnus'' Gómez-Zurita, 2022 * ''Thasycles panieensis'' (Jolivet, Verma & Mille, 2007) * ''Thasycles puncticollis'' Gómez-Zurita, 2022 * ''Thasycles tenuis'' Gómez-Zurita, 2022 * ''Thasycles variegatus'' Gómez-Zurita, 2022 References Eumolpinae Chrysomelidae genera Beetles of Oceania Insects of New Caledonia Taxa named by Félicien Chapuis Endemic fauna of New Caledonia {{Eumol ...

Dematochroma
''Dematochroma'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is mostly distributed in New Caledonia, though it is also found on Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island, Timor and Vanuatu. Adult beetles (usually less than 1 cm long) are often found at night feeding on leaves, and the larvae eat roots. Phylogeny Recent phylogenetic analyses of Eumolpinae of the south Pacific suggest that ''Dematochroma'' is paraphyletic: the type species, the Lord Howe endemic ''D. picea'', is placed in a clade including New Caledonian endemic genera ''Taophila'' and ''Tricholapita'', which is sister to another clade including other New Caledonian Eumolpinae genera, the New Caledonian species of ''Dematochroma'' as well as the New Zealand endemic '' Atrichatus''. Because of these findings, Gómez-Zurita and Pàmies-Harder (2022) preferred to transfer the New Caledonian species of ''Dematochroma'' to other genera. For instance, the genus ''Thasycles'' Chapuis, 1874, which was for a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
