Guides
Dystaxia
Dystaxia is a genus of small beetles in the family Schizopodidae, a family historically associated with Buprestidae (jewel beetles) but now recognized as distinct. The genus was established by LeConte in 1866 and contains at least one described species, D. elegans Fall, 1905, recorded from California. Schizopodidae are small, somewhat flattened beetles with reduced elytra that leave much of the abdomen exposed.
Dystaxia elegans
false jewel beetle
Dystaxia elegans is a species of false jewel beetle in the family Schizopodidae, a small family of beetles within the superfamily Buprestoidea. The species was described by Fall in 1905 and is found in North America, specifically in the western United States. It belongs to a genus that was historically classified within Buprestidae but is now placed in the distinct family Schizopodidae.
Dystaxia murrayi
false jewel beetle
Dystaxia murrayi is a species of false jewel beetle in the family Schizopodidae, described by LeConte in 1866. It is found in North America. The species belongs to a small family of beetles historically associated with jewel beetles (Buprestidae) but now recognized as a distinct lineage within the superfamily Buprestoidea. Very little is known about its biology or ecology.
Glyptoscelimorpha
Glyptoscelimorpha is a genus of beetles in the family Schizopodidae, established by Horn in 1893. The genus contains three described species: G. marmorata (the type species), G. juniperae, and G. viridis. Schizopodidae is a small family of beetles within the superfamily Buprestoidea, closely related to jewel beetles (Buprestidae). Members of this genus are found in western North America.
Glyptoscelimorpha marmorata
Glyptoscelimorpha marmorata is a species of false jewel beetle in the family Schizopodidae, described by Horn in 1893. It belongs to the superfamily Buprestoidea, which includes jewel beetles and related families. The species is documented from North America, though detailed biological information remains limited.
Glyptoscelimorpha viridis
false jewel beetle
Glyptoscelimorpha viridis is a species of false jewel beetle in the family Schizopodidae. The species was described by Chamberlin in 1931 and is found in North America. Schizopodidae is a small family of beetles commonly referred to as false jewel beetles, distinct from the true jewel beetles (Buprestidae). The specific epithet "viridis" refers to the green coloration typical of the species.
Schizopus
Schizopus is a genus of small beetles in the family Schizopodidae, established by LeConte in 1858. The genus contains two described species: Schizopus laetus LeConte, 1858 and Schizopus sallei Horn, 1885, with the latter including a recognized subspecies S. sallei nigricans Nelson, 1991. These beetles are rarely encountered and poorly known, with limited published information on their biology.
Schizopus laetus
false jewel beetle
Schizopus laetus is a species of false jewel beetle in the family Schizopodidae, a small family within the superfamily Buprestoidea. The species was described by LeConte in 1858 and is known from North America. Schizopodidae, commonly called false jewel beetles, are a distinctive group of beetles that were historically placed within Buprestidae but are now recognized as a separate family.
Schizopus sallei
Schizopus sallei is a species of false jewel beetle in the family Schizopodidae, a small family within the superfamily Buprestoidea. The species was described by George Henry Horn in 1885. Two subspecies are recognized: the nominate S. s. sallei and S. s. nigricans, described by Nelson in 1991. It is one of the few species in this distinctive family, which was historically classified within Buprestidae but is now recognized as a separate lineage.
