James Thomson (entomologist)
James Livingston Thomson (March 15, 1828 – December 9, 1897) was an American entomologist who studied Coleoptera independently and mostly lived in France. A member of the Société entomologique de France, his collections of Cerambycidae, Buprestidae, Cetoniinae and Lucanidae were eventually sold to René Oberthür. Life Thomson was born in New York to James and Mary née Livingston. His mother came from a family of wealth and power in New York. His maternal grandfather had been a secretary to an American diplomat in France and there were many family members with connections to France. It is possible that the family name was originally spelt with a "p" and that it was dropped when members moved to France. Thomson himself was educated in Paris. He married Delia Stewart Parnell, sister of Charles Stewart Parnell Charles Stewart Parnell (27 June 1846 – 6 October 1891) was an Irish nationalist politician who served as a Member of Parliament (United Kingdom), Member of P ...

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

Stag Beetle
Stag beetles comprise the family Lucanidae. It has about 1,200 species of beetles in four subfamilies.Smith, A.B.T. (2006). A review of the family-group names for the superfamily Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) with corrections to nomenclature and a current classification. The Coleopterists Bulletin 60:144–204. Some species grow to over , but most to about . Overview The English name is derived from the large and distinctive mandibles found on the males of most species, which resemble the antlers of stags. A well-known species in much of Europe is ''Lucanus cervus'', referred to in some European countries (including the United Kingdom) as ''the'' stag beetle; it is the largest terrestrial insect in Europe. Pliny the Elder noted that Nigidius called the beetle ''lucanus'' after the Italian region of Lucania where they were used as amulets. The scientific name of ''Lucanus cervus'' adds ''cervus'', deer. Male stag beetles are known for their oversized mandibles that are used ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lucaninae
The Lucaninae comprise the largest subfamily of the stag beetles (Lucanidae). Characteristics include partial to complete division of the eyes by a canthus, geniculate antennae, and distinctly separated coxae. The body is typically elongated and slightly flattened. Genera Some notable species are also listed: * '' Aegognathus'' * '' Aegus'' * '' Agnus'' * '' Allotopus'' * '' Amneidus'' * '' Andinolucanus'' * '' Aphanognathus'' * '' Apterocyclus'' * '' Apterodorcus'' Arrow, 1943 * '' Auxicerus'' * '' Bartolozziolucanus'' * '' Beneshius'' * '' Bomansius'' * '' Brasilucanus'' * '' Cacostomus'' ** '' C. squamosus'' * '' Calcodes'' * '' Cantharolethrus'' ** '' C. luxeri'' * '' Capreolucanus'' * '' Cardanus'' * '' Casignetus'' * '' Charagmophorus'' * '' Chewlucanus'' * '' Chiasognathus'' * '' Cladophyllus'' * '' Cladognathus'' * '' Colophon'' * '' Cyclommatus'' ** '' C. scutellaris'' * '' Dendezia'' * '' Diasomoides'' * '' Dinonigidius'' * '' Dorculus'' * '' Dorcus'' * '' Dynodo ...

Beetles Of North America
Beetles are insects that form the 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 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 ladybugs) eat ...
