Journal ArticleDOI
The thoracic morphology of cave-dwelling and free-living ground beetles from China (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechinae).
Xiao Zhu Luo,Benjamin Wipfler,Ignacio Ribera,Hong Bin Liang,Ming Yi Tian,Si-Qin Ge,Rolf G. Beutel +6 more
TL;DR: The elongate prothorax together with the long and slender head and elongated legs distinctly increases the activity range in the subterranean lightless environment, which likely facilitates foraging of the carnivorous beetles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is †Skleroptera († Stephanastus ) an order in the stemgroup of Coleopterida (Insecta)?
TL;DR: Based on the wing venation it is suggested that Stephanastus polinae should be placed in the extinct hemimetabolous order †Protelytroptera, and the proposed relationship with Coleopterida is very likely unjustified.
Journal ArticleDOI
The male postabdomen and reproductive system of Bibio marci Linnaeus, 1758 (Hexapoda: Diptera: Bibionidae)
TL;DR: The male postabdomen and the internal parts of the male genital system of Bibio marci (Bibionomorpha) were examined and reconstructed 3-dimensionally as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revision of the chrysomeline genera Potaninia, Suinzona and Taipinus (Coleoptera) from eastern Asia, with a biogeographic scenario for the Hengduan mountain region in south-western China.
TL;DR: This analysis suggests that Taipinus may be nested within Suinzona, which would imply paraphyly of the latter genus as it is presently defined, and it is decided to maintain the generic rank ofTaipinus at this stage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is † Umenocoleus a roach or a beetle (Dictyoptera or Coleoptera)?
TL;DR: The systematic position of the Cretaceous genus †Umenocoleus Chen & Tan is re-evaluated and the re-assignment in 2014 back to Coleoptera is rejected based on numerous morphological features incompatible with such a placement.
