Brahmina Mikado
''Brahmina'' is a large Palearctic genus of scarab beetles in the tribe Melolonthini, containing over 90 species in three subgenera. Blanchard established the genus in a museum catalogue dated 1850 (but actually published in 1851) and separated the genus from related '' Rhizotrogus'' the basis of the claws being split at the tip. This character is also seen in ''Phytalus. Cryphaeobius,'' and ''Rhizocolax'' from which ''Brahmina'' may be separated in that the abdomen is only slightly or not recessed at the pygydium tip. The male antenna club is short and only slightly longer than in the female. The tarsal claw is split at the tip and the lower tooth is shorter and wider than the upper tooth.

Palearctic
The Palearctic or Palaearctic is a biogeographic realm of the Earth, the largest of eight. Confined almost entirely to the Eastern Hemisphere, it stretches across Europe and Asia, north of the foothills of the Himalayas, and North Africa. The realm consists of several bioregions: the Mediterranean Basin; North Africa; North Arabia; Western, Central and East Asia. The Palaearctic realm also has numerous rivers and lakes, forming several freshwater ecoregions. Both the eastern and westernmost extremes of the Paleartic span into the Western Hemisphere, including Cape Dezhnyov in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug to the east and Iceland to the west. The term was first used in the 19th century, and is still in use as the basis for zoogeographic classification. History In an 1858 paper for the ''Proceedings of the Linnean Society'', British zoologist Philip Sclater first identified six terrestrial zoogeographic realms of the world: Palaearctic, Aethiopian/ Afrotropic, Indian/ I ...
