Megatomini
The Megatomini are a tribe of insects in the family Dermestidae. The tribe was first classified by William Elford Leach in '' The Edinburgh Encyclopaedia'' in 1815. Taxonomy According to research in Zhou et al. (2022), only 3 major clades are recognized with support by both molecular and morphological data. Megatomini classification by Zhou et al. (2022), with some genera excluded due to uncertain status (lack of research) and others revised given new research and further synonimization: *Dermestidae **Megatominae *** Megatomini ****Orphinina *****''Caccoleptus'' *****'' Curtophinus'' rev. nov. *****'' Falsoorphinus'' rev. nov. *****''Labrocerus'' *****''Orphinus'' *****''Thaumaglossa'' *****'' Zahradnikia'' ****Megatomina *****''Globicornis'' (possible syn.

Peacockia
''Peacockia'' is a subgenus of the genus '' Anthrenus'' of the subfamily Megatominae within the family of skin beetles. Only one African species is currently described. Description Species have antennae with 6 segments, parallel body shape, 5.0 - 7.1 mm in length (bigger than '' Setapeacockia''). Dorsal surface is covered with scales. In females, all visible abdominal sternites are covered by scales Scale or scales may refer to: Mathematics * Scale (descriptive set theory), an object defined on a set of points * Scale (ratio), the ratio of a linear dimension of a model to the corresponding dimension of the original * Scale factor, a number .... Species There is only one species in the subgenus, with previous members being transferred to related subgenus Setapeacockia (Háva, 2008): *'' Anthrenus vladimiri'' (Menier & Villemant, 1993) – Morocco See also * Setapeacockia References {{Taxonbar, from=Q21439595 Dermestidae Insect subgenera ...

Setapeacockia
''Setapeacockia'' is a subgenus of the genus '' Anthrenus'' of the subfamily Megatominae within the family of skin beetles. The taxonomic name is a composite of words ''seta'' and subgenus name ''Peacockia'' (referring to the shared unusual body characteristics). Description Species have antennae with 6 segments, parallel body shape, 2.3 - 2.7 mm in length (smaller than ''Peacockia''). Dorsal surface is covered with scales. In females, only the 5th abdominal sternite is covered in setae (in males, visible abdominal sternites I-V are covered with scales). Species There are currently 2 species in the subgenus which previously belonged to subgenus ''Peacockia'': *'' Anthrenus mendax'' (Háva, 2006) – Iran *'' Anthrenus taricus'' (Zhantiev, 2006) – India (Rajastan); Iran; Pakistan See also *Peacockia ''Peacockia'' is a subgenus of the genus '' Anthrenus'' of the subfamily Megatominae within the family of skin beetles.

Dermestidae
Dermestidae are a family of Coleoptera that are commonly referred to as skin beetles. Other common names include larder beetle, hide or leather beetles, carpet beetles, and khapra beetles. There are over 1,100 species described. Dermestids have a variety of habits; most genera are scavengers that feed on dry animal or plant material, such as skin or pollen, animal hair, feathers, dead insects and natural fibers. Members of '' Dermestes'' are found in animal carcasses, while others may be found in mammal, bird, bee, or wasp nests. '' Thaumaglossa'' only lives in the egg cases of mantids, while '' Trogoderma'' species are pests of grain. These beetles are significant in forensic entomology. Some species are associated with decaying carcasses, which helps with criminal investigations. Some species are pests ( urban entomology) and can cause extensive damage to natural fibers in homes and businesses. They are used in taxidermy and by natural history museums to clean animal skelet ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
