Copelatus
''Copelatus'' is a large genus of small diving beetles. There are some 470 described species in the genus, found worldwide, but they are most diverse in tropical South America, Africa and South-East Asia. Systematics The genus ''Copelatus'' is divided into several subgenera (''Colepatus'', ''Papuadytes'' etc.), some of which are sometimes treated as separate genera. It may be paraphyletic with respect to the smaller Copelatinae genera '' Lacconectus'' and ''Aglymbus''. The species include: Species * '' Copelatus abonnenci'' Guignot, 1939 * '' Copelatus acamas'' Guignot, 1955 * '' Copelatus advena'' Sharp, 1882 * '' Copelatus aemulus'' Bilardo & Rocchi, 1995 * '' Copelatus aequatorius'' Régimbart, 1899 * '' Copelatus aethiopicus'' Régimbart, 1906 * '' Copelatus agrias'' Guignot, 1954 * '' Copelatus aldabricus'' J.Balfour-Browne, 1950 * '' Copelatus alternatus'' Sharp, 1882 * '' Copelatus amaroides'' Guignot, 1952 * '' Copelatus amatolensis'' Omer-Cooper, 1965 * '' Copelatus ...

Diving Beetle
The Dytiscidae – based on the Greek ''dytikos'' (δυτικός), "able to dive" – are the predaceous diving beetles, a family of water beetles. They occur in virtually any freshwater habitat around the world, but a few species live among leaf litter. The adults of most are between long, though much variation is seen between species. The European ''Dytiscus latissimus'' and Brazilian ''Megadytes ducalis'' are the largest, reaching up to and respectively. In contrast, the smallest is likely the Australian ''Limbodessus atypicali'' of subterranean waters, which only is about long. Most are dark brown, blackish, or dark olive in color with golden highlights in some subfamilies. The larvae are commonly known as water tigers due to their voracious appetite. They have short, but sharp mandibles and immediately upon biting, they deliver digestive enzymes into prey to suck their liquefied remains. The family includes more than 4,000 described species in numerous genera. H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Africa
Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most populous continent, after Asia in both cases. At about 30.3 million km2 (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of Earth's total surface area and 20% of its land area.Sayre, April Pulley (1999), ''Africa'', Twenty-First Century Books. . With billion people as of , it accounts for about of the world's human population. Africa's population is the youngest amongst all the continents; the median age in 2012 was 19.7, when the worldwide median age was 30.4. Despite a wide range of natural resources, Africa is the least wealthy continent per capita and second-least wealthy by total wealth, behind Oceania. Scholars have attributed this to different factors including geography, climate, tribalism, Scramble for Africa, colonialism, the Cold War, neocolonialism, lack of democracy, and corruption. Despite this low concentration of wealth, recent economic expansion and the large and young ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
