Cryptophilus Angustus
''Cryptophilus'' is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are about nine described species in ''Cryptophilus''. Identification ''Cryptophilus'' adults are brown and slightly hairy beetles, 1.6-2.3 mm long and with 3-segmented antennal clubs. They resemble beetles of the unrelated family Cryptophagidae. Unlike cryptophagids, ''Cryptophilus'' have procoxal sockets that are closed. The larvae are long, hairy and have a granulate or tuberculate dorsum. They can be mistaken for larvae of '' Monotoma'' (Monotomidae) or ''Epuraea'' (Nitidulidae), which occur in similar habitats. ''Cryptophilus'' larvae can be recognised by their mandibles, which lack a sub-apical accessory tooth and have a large, subtriangular prostheca. Ecology ''Cryptophilus'' occur in decaying plant matter (e.g. leaf litter, wood debris, compost heaps, grass cuttings, straw) and also in stored food products (e.g. cereals, beans, flour, dried fruit, nuts). Adults and larvae are mycop ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pleasing Fungus Beetle
file:Ischyrus quadripunctatus P1390172a.jpg, ''Ischyrus quadripunctatus'' Erotylidae, or the pleasing fungus beetles, is a family (biology), family of beetles belonging to Cucujoidea containing over 100 genus, genera. In the present circumscription, it contains 6 tribes (Tritomini, Dacnini, Megalodacnini, Erotylini, Cryptophilini, and Languriini) and 10 subfamilies (Cryptophilinae, Dacninae, Encaustinae, Erotylinae, Languriinae, Loberinae, Megalodacninae, Pharaxonothinae, Tritominae, and Xenoscelinae). In other words, the narrowly circumscribed Erotylidae correspond to the subfamily Erotylinae in the definition ''sensu lato''. There are doubts on the monophyly of lower ranked taxa within Erotylidae, with further phylogenetic studies requiring better sampling and studies of unexplored character sets, for example the metendosternite and penile flagellum, which are generally lacking detailed morphological studies within the Coleoptera literature. The Eroytlina taxonomy is based on t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nut (fruit)
A nut is a fruit consisting of a hard or tough nutshell protecting a kernel which is usually edible. In general usage and in a culinary sense, many dry seeds are called nuts, but in a botanical context, "nut" implies that the shell does not open to release the seed (Dehiscence (botany), indehiscent). Most seeds come from fruits that naturally free themselves from the shell, but this is not the case in nuts such as hazelnuts, chestnuts, and acorns, which have hard shell walls and originate from a compound ovary. Definition A seed is the mature fertilised ovule of a plant; it consists of three parts, the embryo which will develop into a new plant, stored food for the embryo, and a protective seed coat. Botany, Botanically, a nut is a fruit with a woody pericarp developing from a syncarpous gynoecium. Nuts may be contained in an Bract#Involucral bracts, involucre, a cup-shaped structure formed from the flower bracts. The involucre may be scaly, spiny, leafy or tubular, depending ...
