Arthromacra robinsoni
Arthromacra robinsoni is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, described by Leng in 1914. It belongs to the subfamily Lagriinae, a group of elongate, often soft-bodied beetles commonly referred to as long-jointed beetles. The genus Arthromacra is characterized by notably long legs and antennae relative to body size. This species appears to be rarely encountered and poorly documented in the literature.
Statira
long-jointed beetle
Statira is a genus of darkling beetles (family Tenebrionidae) in the subfamily Lagriinae, historically classified as long-jointed beetles in the former family Lagriidae before taxonomic revision. These beetles are characterized by elongated, jointed antennae that distinguish them from typical darkling beetles. The genus is part of a group of beetles that do not conform to the classic darkling beetle morphology, having been assimilated into Tenebrionidae relatively recently. Members of this genus are found in the Neotropical region, particularly in Colombia.
Statira basalis
long-jointed beetle
Statira basalis is a species of long-jointed beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, subfamily Lagriinae. It is found in the United States and Mexico. The species belongs to a group formerly treated as the separate family Lagriidae, now incorporated into Tenebrionidae. Long-jointed beetles are characterized by their distinctive antennae structure and differ in appearance from typical darkling beetles.
Statira croceicollis
Statira croceicollis is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, specifically within the subfamily Lagriinae (formerly treated as the separate family Lagriidae). It belongs to a group of beetles commonly referred to as 'long-jointed beetles,' which were relatively recently assimilated into Tenebrionidae. Like other members of its genus, this species exhibits an aberrant body form that does not resemble 'classic' darkling beetles such as Eleodes.
Statira dolera
Pale-legged Statira
Statira dolera is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, first described by Parsons in 1966. It belongs to the subfamily Lagriinae, a group formerly treated as a separate family (Lagriidae) before being reclassified within Tenebrionidae. The species is part of the genus Statira, commonly known as long-jointed beetles, which are characterized by their elongated body form and relatively long legs. As with other members of this subfamily, S. dolera does not resemble the typical robust, slow-moving darkling beetles of the subfamily Tenebrioninae.
Statira hirsuta
Statira hirsuta is a species of long-jointed beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, subfamily Lagriinae. The species was described by Champion in 1889 and is known from Mexico. Like other members of the genus Statira, it belongs to a group formerly classified as the separate family Lagriidae before being subsumed into Tenebrionidae. These beetles are characterized by their elongated body form and relatively long legs and antennae compared to typical darkling beetles.
Statira pulchella
Statira pulchella is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, subfamily Lagriinae. It belongs to the long-jointed beetle group, which represents an aberrant lineage within Tenebrionidae that does not conform to the typical darkling beetle morphology. The genus Statira is characterized by elongated body proportions and distinctive antennal structure. This species is rarely encountered in collections, with limited observational records available.
