Tetratoma Yunnanensis
''Tetratoma yunnanensis'' is a species of polypore fungus beetle found within the family Tetratomidae. Being identified in 2016 by Bolshaya Nikitskaya, ''Tetratoma yunnanensis'' was described from the Chinese providence of Yunnan within Southern China. Closely related to ''Tetratoma nobuchii ''Tetratoma'' is a genus of polypore fungus beetles in the family Tetratomidae. There are about 25 described species in ''Tetratoma''. Species * '' Tetratoma ainu'' (Nakane, 1963) * '' Tetratoma ancora'' Fabricius, 1790 * '' Tetratoma baudueri ...'' from Japan, this species exhibits a uniquely shiny, metallic elytra compared to the blackish-blue metallic tint seen within ''T. nobuchii''. Additionally, still comparing these two species, ''T. yunnanensis'' exhibits a shorter antennal club which, slightly, exceeds the lengths of its preceding antennomeres combined. Overall, the bronze-greenish, or completely bronze coloration, of the elytra distinguishes ''T. yunnanensis'' from other spe ...

Beetles Described In 2016
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Endopterygota. 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 insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. 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 ladybugs) eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops. Beetles typically have a particularly hard exoske ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
