Promecoderus Castelnaui
''Promecoderus'' is a genus of ground beetle in the subfamily Broscinae. The genus was described by Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean in 1829 with the genus being found in Australia and is divided into six groups with several subgroups: 1. albaniensis group (''sensu'' Sloane, 1890; Roig-Juñent, 2000) * '' Promecoderus albaniensis'' Laporte de Castelnau, 1867 * ''Promecoderus pacificus'' Sloane, 1890 * ''Promecoderus pygmaeus'' Laporte de Castelnau, 1867 2. brunnicornis group (''sensu'' Sloane, 1890; Roig-Juñent, 2000) * '' Promecoderus brunnicornis'' Dejean, 1829 3. clivinoides group (''sensu'' Sloane, 1890, 1898; Roig-Juñent, 2000) * '' Promecoderus castelnaui'' Sloane, 1892 * ''Promecoderus clivinoides'' Guérin-Ménéville, 1841 * ''Promecoderus comes'' Sloane, 1890 * ''Promecoderus dyschirioides'' Guérin-Ménéville, 1841 * ''Promecoderus hunteriensis'' Macleay, 1873 * ''Promecoderus intermedius'' Sloane, 1898 * ''Promecoderus interruptus'' Macleay, 1873 * ''Promecode ...

Ground Beetle
Ground beetles are a large, cosmopolitan family of beetles, the Carabidae, with more than 40,000 species worldwide, around 2,000 of which are found in North America and 2,700 in Europe. As of 2015, it is one of the 10 most species-rich animal families. They belong to the Adephaga. Members of the family are primarily carnivorous, but some members are phytophagous or omnivorous. Description and ecology Although their body shapes and coloring vary somewhat, most are shiny black or metallic and have ridged wing covers (elytra). The elytra are fused in some species, particularly the large Carabinae, rendering the beetles unable to fly. The species ''Mormolyce phyllodes'' is known as violin beetle due to their peculiarly shaped elytra. All carabids except the quite primitive flanged bombardier beetles (Paussinae) have a groove on their fore leg tibiae bearing a comb of hairs used for cleaning their antennae. Defensive secretions Typical for the ancient beetle suborder Adephaga to wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
