Rhyzobius
:Rhizobius'' is a genus in the fungi kingdom (see Disease resistance in fruit and vegetables), as well as an obsolete name for the aphid genus ''Pemphigus. ''Rhyzobius'' is a genus in the lady beetle family (Coccinellidae). It belongs to tribe Coccidulini of subfamily Coccidulinae, which is sometimes subsumed in the Coccinellinae as a tribe with the Coccidulini downranked to subtribe. The genus was established by J.F. Stephens in 1832. Often misspelled as ''"Rhizobius"'', that is actually an older name, now suppressed, for a genus of wooly aphids. The misspelling was first made in the original description in 1832; however, Stephens had used the name in 1829 already (as ''nomen nudum'') and written it "Rhyzobius", so this spelling is used now. Louis Agassiz in 1846 argued that Stephens intended to write "Rhizobius" all along and formally proposed to change the name thus, but this is considered unwarranted. Species of ''Rhyzobius'' can be found almost anywhere on Earth. ''Rhyzobi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rhyzobius Forestieri
''Rhyzobius forestieri'' is a species of lady beetle in the family Coccinellidae. It is found in Australia, North America, Oceania, and Europe. The species is thought to be originally from Australia and recently introduced to parts of Europe in the 1980s as a biological control agent to control the Olive Scale pest (Saissetia oleae ''Saissetia oleae'' ( syn.

Rhyzobius Lophanthae
''Rhyzobius lophanthae'', commonly known as the purple scale predator or the scale-eating ladybird, is a species of ladybird native to Queensland and Southern Australia. It was introduced into the United States in the 1890s and has since spread over the southern half of the country. Taxonomy This insect was first described in California in 1892 by the American entomologist Frank Ellsworth Blaisdell. He named it ''Scymnus lophanthae'', and thought it was a native American species. Unbeknown to him, the beetle was an introduced species, and at about the same time, it was described in its native Australia by the Australian entomologist Thomas Blackburn, who gave it the name ''Rhizobius toowoombae''. However, Blaisdell's name took precedence as it was published first, and ''R. toowoombae'' became a synonym. The specific name ''lophanthae'' means "of lophantha", referring to the plant ''Paraserianthes lophantha'' on which Blaisdell originally saw the ladybird. Description ''Rhyzobius ...

''R. chrysomeloides'' is a predatory species, feeding on aphids. ''R. chrysomeloides'' can typically be found on various species of trees and garden shrubs, first being recorded in Britain in 1996 on a pine tree. ''R. chrysomeloides'' is visually similar to '' Rhyzoius litura'', but can be differentiated by its broader prosternal keel and the darker, U-shaped markings on its elytra.

Lady Beetle
Coccinellidae () is a widespread family of small beetles ranging in size from . They are commonly known as ladybugs in North America and ladybirds in Great Britain. Some entomologists prefer the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles as they are not true bugs. Many of the species have conspicuous aposematic colours and patterns, such as red with black spots, that warn potential predators that they are distasteful. The majority of the more than 6,000 described species are generally considered beneficial insects, because many prey on herbivorous hemipterans such as aphids or scale insects, which are agricultural pests. Many coccinellids lay their eggs directly in aphid and scale insect colonies, ensuring their larvae have an immediate food source. However, some species such as the herbivorous Mexican bean beetle are agricultural pests. Etymology The name ''coccinellids'', created by Pierre André Latreille, is derived from the Latin word ''coccineus'' meaning "scarlet". The na ...
