Lachnopus
''Lachnopus'' is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae distributed in the Caribbean Region. Taxonomy The genus ''Lachnopus'' was named for the first time by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1840 (p. 380). The names ''Menoetius'' Dejean, 1821-94 and ''Ptilopus'' Schönherr, 1823: c. 1140 are considered junior synonyms of ''Lachnopus''. The placement of ''Lachnopus'' within Entiminae has been unstable through time. It was considered part of Lacordaire's "Cyphides" (p. 107, 122) along with some genera considered nowadays to be part of the tribe Eustylini (Compsus, '' Exophthalmus'', ''Oxyderces'', '' Tetrabothinus'') or Naupactini ("''Cyphus''" -currently ''Cyrtomon''-, ''Platyomus''). Then considered among the Barynotini in van Emden (1944) and O'Brien and Wibmer (1982), a widespread assemblage of weevils which is now known as the Geonemini. The identity of ''Lachnopus'' has been questioned, specifically regarding its distinctness from '' Exophthalmus''. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Exophthalmus
''Exophthalmus'' is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae. It contains 85 described species. Taxonomy ''Exophthalmus'' was named for the first time by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1823 (column 1140). It belongs in the tribe Eustylini. In revising the Jamaican species, Vaurie offers an overview to the genus and its taxonomic conflicts. A preliminary phylogeny for ''Exophthalmus'' and its allies was presented by Franz. It is part of the so-called ''"Exophthalmus'' genus complex" which involves members of the genera '' Diaprepes'', '' Compsus'', '' Lachnopus'', among others. Based on morphological and molecuelar evidence, it has been proposed that the genus needs to be reclassified to better reflect the actual distribution of natural clades. Description In general, ''Exophthalmus'' species are characterized by the smooth and broad longitudinal bridge running longitudinally across the rostrum. There is a lot of variation in sizes, density, coloration, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lucayan Archipelago
The Lucayan Archipelago (named for the original native Lucayan people), also known as the Bahama Archipelago, is an island group comprising the Commonwealth of The Bahamas and the British Overseas Territory of the Turks and Caicos Islands. The archipelago is in the western North Atlantic Ocean, north of Cuba and the other Antilles, and east and southeast of Florida. William Keegan writes: "Modern political considerations aside, the islands form a single archipelago with common geological, ecological, and cultural roots." Though part of the West Indies, the Lucayan Archipelago is not located on the Caribbean Sea. Proposed federation In 2010, the leaders of The Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands discussed the possibility of forming a federation. Countries and territories * The Bahamas * Turks and Caicos Islands (United Kingdom) The Mouchoir Bank, the Silver Bank, and the Navidad Bank are a submerged continuation of the archipelago, to the southeast of the Turks an ...
