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 ...

Cicindela Aurulenta
''Cicindela aurulenta'', common name blue-spotted or golden-spotted tiger beetle, is a beetle of the family Cicindelidae. Description ''Cicindela aurulenta'' reaches about in length. ''C. aurulenta'' have polychromatic and iridescent external appearance. This species has blue-green elytra, with six large yellowish-white or bluish spots and two smaller spots on the shoulders. The medial large spot is somewhat more crescent-shaped compared to the anterior and posterior spots. Its elytra appears reddish-orange along the base and margins. When viewed dorsally, head and thorax are blue-green, with appearances of red-orange under certain light conditions due to its iridescent colouration. It has two prominent compound eyes and large, predominantly black mandibles with yellowish-white marking at its base. It has a labrum that's ivory-white with black base and margins. Its antennae is filiform. Its scape, pedicel, and first two flagellum are blue-green; while the remaining flagellum are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cosmodela Barmanica
''Cosmodela barmanica'' is a species of tiger beetle found in Asia. The species was formerly treated as a subspecies of '' Cosmodela duponti''. The species has a disjunct distribution with one population in the Western Ghats of India and another extending from the northeast of India (Arunachal Pradesh) into Thailand, Myanmar until Malaysia. The species was described by Gestro in 1893 as a variety of ''Cicindela duponti'' on the basis of differences in the shades of the elytral side and sutural bands. His specimens were collected by Leonardo Fea and came from the Karen Hills of Burma. It was treated as a synonym of ''Cicindela duponti'' by Horn Horn may refer to: Common uses * Horn (acoustic), a tapered sound guide ** Horn antenna ** Horn loudspeaker ** Vehicle horn ** Train horn *Horn (anatomy), a pointed, bony projection on the head of various animals * Horn (instrument), a family ... in 1926 and then as subspecies by Rivalier who also created the new genus ''Cosmodela'' ...

Cicindela Didyma
''Cicindela'', commonly known as common tiger beetles, are generally brightly colored and metallic beetles, often with some sort of patterning of ivory or cream-colored markings. They are most abundant and diverse in habitats very often near bodies of water with sandy or occasionally clay soils; they can be found along rivers, sea and lake shores, sand dunes, around dry lakebeds, on clay banks, or woodland paths. Etymology The word "''Cicindela''" comes from the Latin word "cicindela", meaning "glowworm". This comes from the fact that members of the genus ''Cicindela'' are metallic and sometimes flashing. Systematics The genus ''Cicindela'' is (in its broadest historical sense) the largest genus of tiger beetles, and they occur worldwide. The status of the genus is constantly in a state of flux, as various authorities on different continents have vastly different opinions about which (if any) of the dozens of subgenera traditionally recognized within the genus are deserving of be ...

Cicindela Duponti
''Cosmodela duponti'' is a species of tiger beetle with wide distribution range in Southeast Asia. They are found mainly in forested habitats. Two taxa formerly treated as subspecies under this species, ''Cosmodela barmanica'' and '' Cosmodela indica'', are now treated as full species. The species is distinct in its large size with iridescent blue and purple body with four white spots. There are hairs below the head (genal region) and the lateral pronotal margins are smooth and unhaired. There is considerable geographic variation and the nominate subspecies is from Southeast Asia. A population from India formerly considered as the subspecies ''C. duponti barmanica'' is now considered to be a full species, ''Cosmodela barmanica''. They are found mainly along forests and near water. There are several subspecies that are recognized. The species was named after Henry Dupont, a trader in specimens from whom the French entomologist Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean Pierre Françoi ...

Cosmodela Batesi
''Cosmodela batesi'' is a species of tiger beetle endemic to Taiwan. Its English common name is Bates' tiger beetle. Its Chinese common name, 臺灣八星虎甲蟲, translates to "Taiwan(ese) eight-star tiger beetle." Description ''C. batesi'' has a body length between 15 and 21 mm. Its body is largely metallic blue-green, along with shades of yellow, orange, and red throughout.
