Data on dry biomass and body length are given for 47 species of dung beetles from the southern part Russian Far East. The length-to-body weight relation in specimens dung-beetles was calculated, to enable be estimated information about length. Shown, selection optimal models length-weight relationship depends types trophodynamic relationships its size classes. When conducting ecological studies...

Abstract The striking diversity among herbivorous Scarabaeoidea is still poorly understood. Therefore, we compare in these work linear measurements of body features Neotropical and Old World linages Sericini chafers to uncover patterns possibly linked foraging behavior (day or night activity) the success their diversification terms diversity. If would be morphological disparity, expect much les...

This paper presents a revision of the species Eulasia genei Truqui, 1848. A total of 773 specimens, including all type series of the involved taxa, were examined. Nominal species currently in synonymy with E. genei are discussed. All the current synonyms proved to be wrongly attributed, and the following new synonyms are proposed: Eulasia pretiosa Truqui, 1848 = E. genei chaifensis (Reitter, 18...
