Heinrich Carl Küster
Heinrich Carl Küster (14 February 1807 – April 1876) was a German malacologist and entomologist. From 1836, he worked as an instructor at a trade school (''Gewerbschule'') in Erlangen. He conducted scientific excursions in Sardinia (1831) as well as in Dalmatia and Montenegro (1840–41). biographical information He was the originator of "''Die Käfer Europas, nach der Natur beschrieben''" (s of Europe, described from nature), a multi-volume series (1844-1912) that was continued by |
Leaf Beetle
The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 (and probably at least 50,000) species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but the precise taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research. Leaf beetles are partially recognizable by their tarsal formula, which appears to be 4-4-4, but is actually 5-5-5 as the fourth tarsal segment is very small and hidden by the third. As with many taxa, no single character defines the Chrysomelidae; instead, the family is delineated by a set of characters. Some lineages are only distinguished with difficulty from longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae), namely by the antennae not arising from frontal tubercles. Adult and larval leaf beetles feed on all sorts of plant tissue, and all species are fully herbivorous. Many are serious pests of cultivated plants, fo ...

Arima (beetle)
''Arima'' is a genus of leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae) belonging to the subfamily Galerucinae. Species of this genus are found in France, on the Italian mainland, and in Sicily. They present clear sexual dimorphism, as females are generally much larger than males.

Galerucinae
The Galerucinae are a large subfamily of the leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae), containing about 15,000 species in more than 1000 genera, of which about 500 genera and about 8000 species make up the flea beetle tribe Alticini. The division into tribes is more a matter of tradition than based on modern research. Some genera, for example '' Yingaresca'', are better considered ''incertae sedis'' due to a general lack of knowledge. And while a good case can be made for some tribes – namely the Alticini and Galerucini – being all but monophyletic even in their traditional delimitation, others, such as Luperini, appear to be just paraphyletic assemblages of primitive and more basal genera.
