Helochares Obscurus
''Helochares'' is a genus of Water scavenger beetle, water scavenger beetles in the family Hydrophilidae, represented by 161 described species. It is distributed across the Afrotropical realm, Afrotropical, Australasian realm, Australasian, Indomalayan realm, Indo-Malayan, Nearctic realm, Nearctic, and Palearctic realm, Palearctic realms. Taxonomy ''Helochares'' is one of the largest and most taxonomically problematic genera within the Acidocerinae. It was originally described by Étienne Mulsant in 1844. For a long time ''Helochares'' contained five subgenera: ''Batochares'' (currently recognized as a separate genus ), ''Helochares'', ''Helocharimorphus'' (now synonymized under ''Helochares'' ), ''Hydrobaticus'' (now synonymized under ''Helochares'' ), and ''Sindolus'' (currently regognized as a separate genus ). Several taxa that used to be recognized as typical ''Helochares'' are now assigned to newly created genera (e.g., ''Colossochares'', ''Novochares'') or re-assigned ...

Animal
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the Kingdom (biology), biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals Heterotroph, consume organic material, Cellular respiration#Aerobic respiration, breathe oxygen, are Motility, able to move, can Sexual reproduction, reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of Cell (biology), cells, the blastula, during Embryogenesis, embryonic development. Over 1.5 million Extant taxon, living animal species have been Species description, described—of which around 1 million are Insecta, insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have Ecology, complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a Symmetry in biology#Bilate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Novochares
''Novochares'' is a primarily Neotropical genus of water scavenger beetles in the family Hydrophilidae represented by 15 described species, one of which is thought to be introduced in Florida in the United States of America. Taxonomy The genus ''Novochares'' was created by Girón & Short in 2021 to accommodate 15 species formerly placed in the genus '' Helochares'' that occur across Central and South America, and some of the Lesser Antilles. It belongs in the subfamily Acidocerinae. Description Medium-sized beetles (4.5–9.0 mm), smooth and shiny dorsally, brown to dark brown in coloration, with long maxillary palps. There is a lot of variation in aedeagal forms (see Figure 43 in Girón and Short 2021). A complete diagnosis was presented by Girón and Short. Habitat According to Girón and Short, "Species of ''Novochares'' occur in a broad range of both lentic and lotic habitats". Species # ''Novochares abbreviatus'' (Fabricius, 1801): Argentina, Boliv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
