Calochroa Elegantula
''Calochroa'' is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Cicindelidae. Some authors treat them within the broader genus ''Cicindela''. The genus as used in 2020 shows polyphyly with ''Calochroa'' species forming two clades with one clade being a sister to the genus ''Lophyra'' and another being a sister to the genus ''Hipparidium''. Etymology Frederick William Hope, Hope erected the genus name ''Calochroa'' by combining the greek words καλὸς (kalos) and χρόα (chrooa) which translates to ''beautiful color,'' as he found most species of this genus having rich color. Species Nearly 33 species are known with a distribution in Africa, the Indian subcontinent, to Southeast Asia. Some species in the genus include: *''Calochroa anometallescens *''Calochroa bicolor'' *''Calochroa bramani'' *''Calochroa brancuccii'' *''Calochroa carissima'' *''Calochroa crucigera'' *''Calochroa elegantula'' *''Calochroa flavomaculata'' *''Calochroa fumikoae'' *''Calochroa hamilt ...

Beetle
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 ...
