Holostrophus Koreanus

	Holostrophus Koreanus ''Holostrophus koreanus'' is a species of polypore fungus beetle in the family Tetratomidae. Being identified in 2022 by Boo Hee Jung and Jinbae Seung, ''Holostrophus koreanus'' was described as being found exclusively within the Gangwon province of Korea upon collecting specimens primarily from the fruiting bodies of Polyporales ('' Laetiporus sulphureus''). This species, broadly, contains an elliptical body with dispersed, short, whitish-yellow hairs and granular punctures. The head is described as being oval-shaped with dense, small punctures. The antennae is noted to be 11-segmented and weakly clavate, reaching to the basal pronotum. The pronotum appears semicircular dorsally. Moreover, the dorsal surface tends to be primarily brownish-black with the antennae, mouthparts, and legs being slightly yellowish-brown. The elytra is noted to be elongate and oval in shape. The elytron is described as exhibiting a black color with one, yellowish-brown, bidentate fascia band at basal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Tetratomidae Tetratomidae is a small family of beetles sometimes called polypore fungus beetles. The family consists of several genera, most of which used to be in the family Melandryidae. Tetratomidae can be found worldwide. Their food consists of fruiting bodies of hymenomycete fungi. Genera These 12 genera belong to the family Tetratomidae: * '' Cyanopenthe'' * ''Eustrophopsis'' * ''Eustrophus'' * '' Hallomenus'' * ''Holostrophus'' * ''Mycetoma'' * ''Penthe'' * ''Pisenus'' * ''Pseudoholostrophus'' * ''Synstrophus'' * ''Tetratoma'' * '' Triphyllia'' Fossil genera Subfamily Eustrophinae * Tribe Eustrophini * †'' Allostrophus'' (Cenomanian Burmese amber, Myanmar) * †'' Thescelostrophus'' (Burmese amber) Tribe Holostrophini * †'' Synchrotronia'' (Cenomanian Charentese amber, France) Tribe ''incertae sedis'' * †'' Cretosynstrophus'' (Burmese amber) Subfamily Hallomeninae * †'' Pseudohallomenus'' (Santonian, Taimyr amber Taymyr or Taimyr may ...

picture info	Laetiporus Sulphureus ''Laetiporus sulphureus'' is a species of bracket fungus (fungi that grow on trees) found in Europe and North America. Its common names are crab-of-the-woods, sulphur polypore, sulphur shelf, and chicken-of-the-woods. Its fruit bodies grow as striking golden-yellow shelf-like structures on tree trunks and branches. Old fruitbodies fade to pale beige or pale grey. The undersurface of the fruit body is made up of tubelike pores rather than gills. ''Laetiporus sulphureus'' is a saprophyte and occasionally a weak parasite, causing brown cubical rot in the heartwood of trees on which it grows. Unlike many bracket fungi, it is edible when young, although adverse reactions have been reported. Taxonomy and phylogenetics ''Laetiporus sulphureus'' was first described as ''Boletus sulphureus'' by French mycologist Pierre Bulliard in 1789. It has had many synonyms and was finally given its current name in 1920 by American mycologist William Murrill. ''Laetiporus'' means "with bright po ...

picture info	Beetles Described In 2022 Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Endopterygota. 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 insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. 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 aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops. Beetles typically have a particularly har ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
