Ernest Marie Louis Bedel
Ernest Marie Louis Bedel (16 May 1849, Nantes – 26 January 1922, Paris) was a French entomologist who specialised in Coleoptera. Louis Bedel studied first in Nantes then in Paris where the future entomologist Maurice Sédillot (1849-1933) was a fellow student. His father arranged his taking part in natural history sorties where he met great names of natural history like Alcide d'Orbigny (1802-1857) and which were also attended by future scientists in other disciplines like Henry Le Chatelier (1850-1936), Henri d'Orbigny (1845-1915) and Pierre Emile Gounelle (1850-1914). He took part in the war of 1870 before continuing his law studies. Bedel wrote nearly 300 publications mainly devoted to the Coleopters. His collection is preserved at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle The French National Museum of Natural History ( ; abbr.

Dermestidae
Dermestidae are a family of Coleoptera that are commonly referred to as skin beetles or carpet beetles. Other common names include larder beetles, hide or leather beetles, and khapra beetles. There are over 1,800 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 may help with criminal investigations. Some species are pests ( urban entomology) and can cause extensive damage to natural fibers in homes and places of business. They are used in taxidermy and by natural history museums to clean ...

Anthrenus (subgenus)
''Anthrenus'' is a subgenus of the genus ''Anthrenus'' of the subfamily Megatominae within the family of skin beetles. Subgenus is distinguished by antennae with 11 segments. Occasionally, male specimen appear with 10 antennae segments, having one less "filler" segment in the middle. Inner edge of eye is indented, as opposed to subgenus Nathrenus. Species These species currently belong to the subgenus ''Anthrenus'', with several mostly informal species groups recognized by researchers. The further division into groups mostly follows the definitions provided in the World Catalogue of Dermestidae by Jirí Háva: Species group "crustaceus" *'' Anthrenus crustaceus'' (Reitter, 1881) – Middle East (Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen), Africa (Egypt, Eritrea), India (Gujarat) *'' Anthrenus kaliki'' (Pic, 1952) – Algeria *'' Anthrenus kabateki'' (Háva, 2014) – Western Sahara *'' Anthrenus kubistai'' (Háva & Votruba, 2005) – Sudan *'' Anthrenus linnavuorii'' (H� ...

Anthrenus Scrophulariae
''Anthrenus (Anthrenus) scrophulariae'', also known as the common carpet beetle or buffalo carpet beetle, is a species of beetle originally found in Europe, the Middle East and the Nearctic, which has now spread to most of the world. Adult beetles feed on pollen and nectar, but the larvae feed on animal fibres and can be damaging pests to carpets, fabrics and museum specimens. Description The adult common carpet beetle varies from about in length. The antennae have eleven segments, three of which form a club, and the eyes are notched at the front. The head is black but is largely concealed under the prothorax, which is also black, liberally speckled with white scales apart from a band in the centre. The elytra (wing cases) are black with orange or reddish scales near the midline and variable but symmetric patches of white scales elsewhere. As the beetle gets older, the scales tend to get rubbed off so the beetle changes in appearance. The small white eggs are laid in batches of ...

Anthrenus
''Anthrenus'' is a genus of beetles in the Dermestidae family, skin beetles. One of several genera of carpet beetles, ''Anthrenus'' was historically placed in a subfamily Anthreninae, though presently included in the Megatominae. The genus '' Neoanthrenus'' is closely related. ''Anthrenus'' carpet beetles are small beetles a few (1.8-4mm) millimeters long with a rounded shape. Their antennae bear small clubs at the end, which are larger in the males than in females. Many have a delicate pattern, with a dark body covered in colorful scales of various brown, tan, red, whitish and grey hues. These scales rub off easily and old individuals are often partially devoid of them, showing the shining black elytra. A considerable number of subspecies and varieties have been named, but it is questionable whether these are all valid or simply refer to such age-related differences. The massive number of species has been divided into several subgenera, but these are not too firmly establishe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Beetles Of Africa
Beetles are insects that form the Taxonomic rank, order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Holometabola. 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 arthropods and 25% of all known animal species; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. However, the number of beetle species is challenged by the number of species in Fly, dipterans (flies) and hymenopterans (wasps). 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 ...
