Pedinorrhina
''Pedinorrhina'' is a genus of fruit and flower chafers belonging to the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Cetoniinae, found in Africa.Serrano, A. R. M., Capela, R. A., Nunes, T. & Santos, C. Van-Dú-Nem Neto (2020) The rose chafers (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) of Angola: a descriptive checklist with new records and synonymic notes, Zootaxa 4776: 1-130 Taxonomy ''Pedinorrhina'' is one of a small set of closely-related African genera whose constituency is considered controversial, due to historical and ongoing discrepancies in treatment by various authorities. Up until 1984, taxonomists considered there to be six distinct genera in this group (''Bothrorrhina'' Hermann Burmeister, Burmeister, ''Chondrorrhina'' Kraatz, ''Dyspilophora'' Kraatz, ''Pedinorrhina'' Kraatz, ''Plaesiorrhina'' Burmeister, and ''Taeniesthes'' Kraatz), but in 1984, Jan Krikken recognized that Burmeister's genus name ''Plaesiorrhina'' was a Homonym (biology), junior homonym and needed to be replaced.K ...

Pedinorrhina Cinctuta
''Pedinorrhina cinctuta'' is a beetle belonging to the family Scarabaeidae.Holm, E. (1994) On the genera of African Cetoniinae 1: The genus ''Pedinorrhina'' Kraatz and related taxa (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). ''The Coleopterists Bulletin'' 48(1): 19-29 Taxonomy This species was placed into the genus ''Pedinorrhina'' by Holm in 1994, but most subsequent authors (e.g.Serrano, A. R. M., Capela, R. A., Nunes, T. & Santos, C. Van-Dú-Nem Neto (2020) The rose chafers (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) of Angola: a descriptive checklist with new records and synonymic notes, Zootaxa 4776: 1-130) place it in the genus ''Chondrorrhina'' instead. Description ''Pedinorrhina cinctuta'' can reach a length of . The basic colour is dark green, with a transversal orange band on the elytra.

Cetoniinae
Flower chafers are a group of scarab beetles, comprising the subfamily Cetoniinae. Many species are diurnal and visit flowers for pollen and nectar, or to browse on the petals. Some species also feed on fruit. The group is also called fruit and flower chafers, flower beetles and flower scarabs. There are around 4,000 species, many of them still undescribed. Twelve tribes are presently recognized: Cetoniini, Cremastocheilini, Diplognathini, Goliathini, Gymnetini, Phaedimini, Schizorhinini, Stenotarsiini, Taenioderini, Trichiini, Valgini, and Xiphoscelidini. The tribe Gymnetini is the biggest of the American tribes, and Goliathini contains the largest species, and is mainly found in the rainforest regions of Africa. Description Adult flower chafers are usually brightly coloured beetles, often metallic, and somewhat flattened in shape. The insertions of the antennae are visible from above, while the mandibles and labrum are hidden by the clypeus. The elytra lac ...

Scarabaeidae Genera
The family Scarabaeidae, as currently defined, consists of over 30,000 species of beetles worldwide; they are often called scarabs or scarab beetles. The classification of this family has undergone significant change in recent years. Several subfamilies have been elevated to family rank (e.g., Bolboceratidae, Geotrupidae, Glaresidae, Glaphyridae, Hybosoridae, Ochodaeidae, and Pleocomidae), and some reduced to lower ranks. The subfamilies listed in this article are in accordance with those in Bouchard (2011). Description Scarabs are stout-bodied beetles, many with bright metallic colours, measuring between . They have distinctive, clubbed antennae composed of plates called lamellae that can be compressed into a ball or fanned out like leaves to sense odours. Many species are fossorial, with legs adapted for digging. In some groups males (and sometimes females) have prominent horns on the head and/or pronotum to fight over mates or resources.

Gustav Kraatz
Ernst Gustav Kraatz (13 March 1831 – 2 November 1909) was a German entomologist. He collected and described numerous beetles including Staphylinidae. Kraatz was born in Berlin on 13 March 1831. He studied law in the University of Heidelberg and at the University of Bonn but found no interest in it and through the influence of Carl August Dohrn he shifted to study entomology at the University of Berlin and later became was a professor. He was mainly interested in Coleoptera. Kraatz worked on the beetle fauna of the whole world using the vast collections in the Natural History Museum of Berlin and described numerous species. Loss of eyesight led to stoppage of work and he died in Berlin. His collection is held by Deutsches Entomologisches Institut The Senckenberg German Entomological Institute (german: Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, SDEI or DEI) is a German entomological research institute devoted to the study of insects. Founded in 1886, the institute has a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
