Naupactini
Naupactini is a tribe of broad-nosed weevils (subfamily Entiminae). Primarily from the Neotropical realm, reaches highest genus and species diversity in South America. Their size varies from 3.5 to 35 mm long, and its colour patterns are diverse. As well many has colourful iridescent scales (bluish, greenish or golden), others show opaque scales or setae, and some are subglabrous. In habitats with sparse vegetation or trees absence, the occurrence of flightlessness and parthenogenesis is frequent. Females of Naupactini usually lay their eggs between adjoining surfaces (e.g. in litter between fallen leaves, in cracks in the soil, and in crevices of tree trunks and calices of fruits), in batches covered by an adhesive substance (Marvaldi, 1999). Their ectophytic larvae live in soil where they feed externally on the roots of their host plants (Marvaldi et al., 2002, 2014; Oberprieler et al., 2014). Although naupactine weevils are capable of eating a large range of different food ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyrtomon
''Cyrtomon'' is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae, present only in South America. There are six described species in ''Cyrtomon''. Taxonomy ''Cyrtomon'' was named for the first time by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1823 (p. 299). The type species is ''Curculio gibber'' Pallas, 1781: 32. The names ''Cyphus'' Germar, 1824: 427 and ''Neocyphus'' Bedel, 1883: 23 are junior synonyms of ''Cyrtomon''. The genus was revised by Analía Lanteri in 1990. Additional cladistics analyses involving ''Cyrtomon'' are presented in Lanteri and del Río (2016), which support the monophyly of the genus. Description Members of ''Cyrtomon'' are mid-sized (12–24 mm) and can be recognized by their dense and uniform scale coverage, which is grey to green or brown in coloration. Their elytral shoulders are well developed. Lanteri provides the following diagnosis for ''Cyrtomon'': Distribution Members of ''Cyrtomon'' can be found in Argentina, Bolivia, Braz ...

Entiminae
The Entiminae are a large subfamily in the weevil family Curculionidae, containing most of the short-nosed weevils, including such genera as '' Entimus'', '' Otiorhynchus'', '' Phyllobius'', '' Sitona'', and '' Pachyrrhynchus''. In comparison with their stunning diversity, only a few of these weevils are notorious pests of major economic importance. Entimines are commonly encountered in the field, including urban environments, and abundant in entomological collections. Diversity There are over 12000 described species worldwide, distributed in over 1370 genera, nearly 14000 by more recent counts. Most tribes are represented in only one biogeographic region of the world. The current classification within the subfamily has been recognized as artificial rather than reflecting natural groups. General morphology Besides the shape of their broad and short rostrum, most entimines are easily recognized by the presence of a mandibular scar that appears when a deciduous process falls ...

Cyphopsis (beetle)
''Cyphia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the bellflower family, native to Africa; and particularly South Africa.Govaerts, R. (1999). World Checklist of Seed Plants 3(1, 2a & 2b): 1-1532. Continental Publishing, Deurne. It has been placed in its own subfamily, Cyphioideae.Stevens, P.F. (2001 onwards) ''Angiosperm Phylogeny Website''. Retrieved 2022-04-23. It is closely related to the genus ''Lobelia.'' ''Cyphia'' comes in shades of white to mauve, whereas lobelias have strong colours of blue to purple. Species in this genus have a bilabiate corolla; with 3 lobes on top and 2 below (as opposed to ''Lobelia'', which has 2 lobes on top and 3 below). Accepted species: *'' Cyphia alba'' N.E.Br. – Zimbabwe *'' Cyphia alicedalensis'' E.Wimm. in H.G.A.Engler – South Africa *'' Cyphia angustifolia'' Eckl. & Zeyh. ex C.Presl in C.F.Eklon & K.L.P.Zeyher – South Africa *'' Cyphia aspergilloides'' E.Wimm. – South Africa *'' Cyphia basiloba'' E.Wimm. in H.G.A.Engler – South Afri ...
