biology of mylabris impressa stillata (baudi, 1878) in a laboratory colony (coleoptera: meloidae)
background: in order to study the biology of mylabris impressa stillata , which little is known about, a laboratory colony was established. methods: in this descriptive study, the laboratory colony was collected from toyserkan county in hamedan province, iran. to feed the larval instars, a parallel colony of the grasshopper, schistocerca gregaria was set-up. meloid females lived for several mon...

در این مقاله نمونه نر گونه Mylabris parumpicta (Heyden, 1883) برای اولین بار توصیف و ترسیم شده است. این گونه اندمیک قبلا بر اساس سه نمونه ماده از شرق رشته کوه‌های البرز توصیف شده بود. داده‌های جدید پراکنش وسیع‌تر این گونه را نشان می‌دهد.
متن کاملThe Potential Organ Involved in Cantharidin Biosynthesis in Epicauta chinensis Laporte (Coleoptera: Meloidae)
Cantharidin, a terpenoid defensive toxin mainly produced by blister beetles, is among the most widely known insect natural products in the world. However, little is known about the site of cantharidin biosynthesis in vivo. Our previous research showed that 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutary-CoA reductase (HMGR) is an essential enzyme in cantharidin biosynthesis. In this report, we further investigated c...
متن کاملThe Meloidae (coleoptera) of Wisconsin.
There are recent faunistic surveys of selected insect taxa (e.g. Mutillidae, Scarabaeoidea, and Tenebrionidae) in Wisconsin but a formal investigation of the Meloidae (blister beetles) is lacking. The blister beetle fauna of several states has been published, but this study represents the first in the Midwestern United States. We provide a comprehensive list of all meloid species documented fro...
متن کاملIdentification of Suitable Reference Genes for gene Expression Studies by qRT-PCR in the Blister Beetle Mylabris cichorii
The blister beetle Mylabris cichorii L. (Coleoptera: Meloidae) is a traditional medicinal insect recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. It synthesizes cantharidin, which kills cancer cells efficiently. Only males produce large amounts of cantharidin. Reference genes are required as endogenous controls for the analysis of differential gene expression in M. cichorii. Our study chose 10 genes as c...
