Atomyria Sarafschanica
''Atomyria'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Central Asia and Iran. In 2012, the genus was moved from the tribe Bromiini to the tribe Nodinini (now known as Typophorini). In 2020, the genus was revised by A. G. Moseyko, who described a new species and transferred two species to ''Chloropterus'', leaving only two valid species remaining within ''Atomyria''. Members of the genus inhabit tugai forests. The known distribution of ''Atomyria'' also corresponds very closely with the distribution of the desert shrub genus '' Tamarix''. Species ''Atomyria'' includes only two valid species: * '' Atomyria kermanshahica'' Moseyko, 2020 – Iran ( Kermanshah Province) * '' Atomyria sarafschanica'' (Solsky, 1881) – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan The following species were formerly included, but have since been transferred to the genus ''Chloropterus ''Chloropterus'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the s ...

Georgiy Jacobson
Georgiy Georgiyevich Jacobson also known as Jakobson ( ru , Георгий Георгиевич Якобсон, 1871 – 23 November 1926) was a pioneering Russian entomologist, known especially for his 900-page book on beetles. Biography Jacobson was born in St Petersburg, and in 1893 he graduated from St Petersburg University's Physics and Mathematics faculty. He was a zoologist at the Zoological Museum of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He was posted to different parts of Russia to study its insects. He published papers mainly on the systematics and zoogeography of Chrysomelidae beetles. Beetles Jacobson's ''Beetles'' was first published in 1905 by Devriena, St Petersburg. The eleventh and last edition appeared in 1915. Many of the fine colour plates were based on Carl Gustav Calwer's ''Kaeferbuch'', with updates to the names of some of the beetles. This saving of effort on illustration allowed Jacobson to focus on illustrating species of beetle that had never been il ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chrysomelidae Genera
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 ...
