What's the difference between coleoptera and coleopterous?

Coleoptera


Definition:

  • (n. pl.) An order of insects having the anterior pair of wings (elytra) hard and horny, and serving as coverings for the posterior pair, which are membranous, and folded transversely under the others when not in use. The mouth parts form two pairs of jaws (mandibles and maxillae) adapted for chewing. Most of the Coleoptera are known as beetles and weevils.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The resulting strain contained only DNA of Bt origin, and displayed insecticidal activity against both lepidoptera and coleoptera.
  • (2) The most parsimonious and maximum-likelihood trees both separated the Coleoptera and Neuroptera, but this separation was not statistically significant.
  • (3) In staphyliniformic beetles, as in other Coleoptera, the number of type III and V neurosecretory cells is equal to 4.
  • (4) The patterns of similarity and distinction between the telotrophic ovarioles in Coleoptera, on the one hand, and the polytrophic ovarioles of the butterfly L. pomonella and telotrophic ovarioles of the bug E. integricept, on the other hand, are discussed.
  • (5) The core of the work is a review of important species of necrophilous insects focused on Coleoptera.
  • (6) Of the species tested, blow fly larvae (Calliphoridae) were the most consistently and highly toxic, although others, particularly adult and larval stages of several species of beetles (Coleoptera), contained toxin at levels probably significant in the epizootiology of the disease.
  • (7) Changes in translatable mRNAs from the wing epidermis of the Coleoptera Tenebrio molitor have been investigated during metamorphosis by analysis of in vitro translated products.
  • (8) Blister beetle dermatosis is a distinctive vesiculobullous eruption that occurs after contact with three major groups of beetles (Order: Coleoptera).
  • (9) A highly conserved hydrophobic motif within the previously described block, D2, is present not only in lepidopteran toxin genes but also in toxins active against diptera and coleoptera.
  • (10) An insect virus, called Manawatu virus (MwV), was isolated from a larva of the New Zealand grass grub Costelytra zealandica (White) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae).
  • (11) The leg of the last instar larva, and especially the pharate pupa, of Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera) shows considerable restoration ability.
  • (12) The cerebral neurosecretory cells and retrocerebral endocrine complex were histologically studied in 20 species representing 4 families of the series Staphyliniformia (Coleoptera, Polyphaga).
  • (13) Some strains were very effective in species of Coleoptera or Noctuidae.
  • (14) Beauveria bassiana strain isolated from curculionid beetle (Coleoptera) was cultivated in fermentation tank on the medium composed of protein hydrolysate and glucose.
  • (15) The following orders and families were represented: Diptera (Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae, Muscidae); Coleoptera (Histeridae, Scarabaeidae, Dermestidae, Tenebrionidae); Hymenoptera (Chalcididae, Pteromalidae, Eulophidae, Formicidae).
  • (16) 11-Cis 3-hydroxyretinal was detected in six orders: Lepidoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera, Neuroptera, Hemiptera and Odonata, and retinal and 3-hydroxyretinal were found together in the compound eyes of some species of Coleoptera and Odonata.
  • (17) A new mutant of Tribolium confusum Jacquelin duVal (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), extra-large (designated xl), was isolated in mating competition tests with red-eye (re) and wild-type (+).
  • (18) Larval epidermis of Tenebrio molitor (Insecta, Coleoptera) was maintained in vitro for 48 hr, since the electrophysiological properties of the cells are best characterized under these conditions.
  • (19) In addition to the eyeworm larvae, other parasites recovered from the face flies included Heterotylenchus autumnalis, hypopi of astigmatid mites and a first instar beetle (Coleoptera: Rhipiphoridae).
  • (20) Injection of heat-killed bacteria into larvae of the large tenebrionid beetle Zophobas atratus (Insecta, Endopterygota, Coleoptera) results in the appearance in the hemolymph of a potent antibacterial activity as evidenced by a plate growth inhibition assay.

Coleopterous


Definition:

  • (a.) Having wings covered with a case or sheath; belonging to the Coleoptera.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In the adult of Tenebrio molitor (Coleopterous) the pentose cycle is greatly used for the glucose degradation: starvation or injection of corpus cardiacum-corpus allatum complex alter this metabolic orientation : the pentose pathway is decreased and the glucose itself is less utilized.
