Sodaliatoma
''Eurhopalus'' is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae. The genus was revised in 2022 to include several genera, along with species previously placed in the genus ''Trogoderma''. Taxonomy Recent research indicates that ''Trogoderma'' is polyphyletic, comprising two distinct, unrelated lineages. One lineage corresponds to ''Trogoderma'' sensu stricto - a primarily Holarctic clade that includes the type species '' Trogoderma glabrum'' and the economically significant Khapra beetle (''Trogoderma granarium''). The other lineage, formerly considered part of ''Trogoderma'', represents a distinct Southern Hemisphere clade, reclassified under the previously synonymized genus ''Eurhopalus''. This clade includes species previously assigned to several genera: ''Sodaliatoma'' Háva, monotypic '' Reesa'' Beal, ''Psacus'' Pascoe, ''Neoanthrenus'' Armstrong, ''Anthrenocerus'' Arrow, and '' Myrmeanthrenus'' Armstrong. This classification is not yet accepted by all researchers. For exampl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dermestidae
Dermestidae are a family of Coleoptera that are commonly referred to as skin beetles or carpet beetles. Other common names include larder beetles, hide or leather beetles, and khapra beetles. There are over 1,800 species described. Dermestids have a variety of habits; most genera are scavengers that feed on dry animal or plant material, such as skin or pollen, animal hair, feathers, dead insects and natural fibers. Members of '' Dermestes'' are found in animal carcasses, while others may be found in mammal, bird, bee, or wasp nests. '' Thaumaglossa'' only lives in the egg cases of mantids, while '' Trogoderma'' species are pests of grain. These beetles are significant in forensic entomology. Some species are associated with decaying carcasses, which may help with criminal investigations. Some species are pests ( urban entomology) and can cause extensive damage to natural fibers in homes and places of business. They are used in taxidermy and by natural history museums to clean ...

Beetle
Beetles are insects that form the Taxonomic rank, order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Holometabola. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described arthropods and 25% of all known animal species; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. However, the number of beetle species is challenged by the number of species in Fly, dipterans (flies) and hymenopterans (wasps). Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ...

Trogoderma
''Trogoderma'' is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. There are about 135 species worldwide. Some species are pests of stored animal and plant products. Taxonomy Recent research shows that ''Trogoderma'' (in its broad, traditional definition) is polyphyletic. Many species in the Southern Hemisphere are in a clade that is genetically distinct from the Holarctic species clade, which led to their proposed reclassification under the genus '' Eurhopalus'' (Zhou et al., 2022). However, this change is not widely adopted - e.g., the World Dermestidae Catalogue (Jiří Háva, 2023) still recognizes the old classification system and actively reinstated several genera synonymized with ''Eurhopalus''.

Reesa
''Reesa'' is a monotypic genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. The sole species is ''Reesa vespulae''. This beetle is native to the Nearctic, but today it can be found nearly worldwide; it is easily introduced to new areas. This beetle can be identified by two reddish bands on its elytra, black setae, and antennae tipped with clubs divided into four segments. Only female individuals have been observed; it is believed to be parthenogenetic. This species, like several other dermestids, is a museum pest. It feeds on dried animal products such as museum specimens. Taxonomy Genetic research in Zhou et al. (2022) revealed that the species is closely related to a widespread species, '' Trogoderma angustum'' and other species originating from South America (including the genus '' Sodaliotoma''). All of these species are considered by some authors to belong to the genus '' Eurhopalus'', many of which were previously considered to be ''Trogoderma ''Trogode ...

The most well-known species from the subgenus, varied carpet beetle (''Anthrenus verbasci''), is distributed in most parts of the world, whereas the vast majority of other species are only present in regions of Africa and Asia. Key characters Subgenus is distinguished by antennae with 11 segments. Occasionally, male specimen appear with 10 antennae segments, having one less "filler" segment in the middle. Inner edge of eye doesn't have indentation, as opposed to subgenus Anthrenus.
