Aleocharini
Aleocharini is the type tribe of the subfamily Aleocharinae. It contains three subtribes, Aleocharina, Compactopediina and the Hodoxenina. The tribe contains 16 genera and over 460 species. The vast majority of biodiversity is distributed in the subtribe Aleocharina Aleocharina is the type subtribe and largest subtribe of the tribe Aleocharini. It contains 450 species in 10 genera.

Aleocharina
Aleocharina is the type subtribe and largest subtribe of the tribe Aleocharini. It contains 450 species in 10 genera. Although the average number of species per genera is 45, one genus (Aleochara) contains nearly all species of the subtribe. The classification of the subtribe is under debate due to the uncertainties of the genus Aleochara. Members of the subtribe are characterized by a 5-5-5 segmented tarsi. The subtribe contains the following genera: *Aleochara *Correa Correa may refer to: * Correa (surname) * Correa (insect), ''Correa'' (insect), a genus of beetles in the family Staphylinidae * Correa (plant), ''Correa'' (plant), a genus of Australian plants named after Portuguese botanist José Correia da Serr ... * Cratoacrochara * Creochara * Ilarochara * Leptogenophilus * Lyperosterochara * Ocyota * Oxybessoglossa * Palaeochara * Paraleochara * Paroxysmeme * Piochardia * Plesiochara * Pseudocalea References Aleocharinae Insect subtribes {{Staphylinidae-st ...

Aleocharinae
The Aleocharinae are one of the largest subfamilies of rove beetles, containing over 12,000 species. Previously subject to large-scale debate whether the subfamily deserved the familial status, it is now considered one of the largest subfamilies of rove beetles.James S. Ashe (1947–2005Tree of lifeUniversity of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, USA Description The Aleocharinae are generally small to minute beetles, as they can reach a maximum length of about , but usually they are long, with a few species of , among the smallest of beetles. The body is usually slender, often densely and finely punctured; the head is more or less round and the color may be light or dark brown, reddish-brown, or black, sometimes with contrasting colors of red, yellow, and black. Anatomy Because of the size of the subfamily, their anatomy is extremely variable. However, a few key features are shared by all rove beetles. All members have antennae with 10 or 11 segments. The antennal insertion is poster ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hodoxenina
''Hodoxenus'' is a monotypic genus of rove beetle, containing one species, ''Hodoxenus sheasbyi'', and is the only genus in the subtribe Hodoxenina. It imitates the termite species ''Microhodotermes viator ''Microhodotermes'' is a genus of southern African harvester termites in the Hodotermitidae. As with harvester termites in general, they have serrated inner edges to their mandibles, and all castes have functional compound eyes. Species of this g ...'' (family Hodotermitidae). ''Hodoxenus'' imitates these termites, so the termites give ''Hodoxenus'' food and shelter. The only known location of the species is in the Cape Province in South Africa.

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can reproduction, produce Fertility, fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology (biology), morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a binomial nomenclature, two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specifi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
