Abstract: This study focused on coleopteran species that are responsible for the emergence of recent cases of dermatological manifestations in Iran. To the best of our knowledge, five species of the family Meloidae and nine species of the genus Paederus are by far the only beetles recognized as medically important in Iran. The staphylinids consists of Paederus ilsae, P. iliensis, P. fuscipes, P. kalalovae, P. balcanicus, P. lenkoranus, P. littoralis, P. carpathicus, P. nigricornis, while the meloids are Mylabris impress… Show more

“…The reason for attraction of Paederus to orange flowers as seen in our study was probably due to the colour [6]. Not only is this behaviour true for the Staphylinid beetle, but also for other blistering beetles like the meliodiaea family, which in turn also helps in the pollination of the flowers, thus serving an important botanical function [7,8]. The orange flowering plants mentioned in the study were identified as Rhododendron keysii which belongs to the rhododendron species.…”

“…Under this favorable condition, the population might reach to a size that could facilitate invasion. This may explain the high prevalence of P. fuscipes invasions into human settings during summer in temperature regions such as Italy (Baccaredda 1935, Borroni et al 1991, Gelmetti and Grimalt 1993, China (Jin 1990, Sheng and Sheng 1995, Huang et al 2009), Japan (Armstrong and WinÞeld 1969), and northern Iran (Zargari et al 2003, Nikbakhtzadeh andTirgari 2008) and throughout a year in tropical regions (Sakai et al 2001, Bong et al 2012. Water relation of each life stage is crucial to determine the insect distribution (HullÐSanders et al 2003).…”

“…Today, P. fuscipes is widespread in the tropics in areas such as India (Isaacs 1933, Strickland and Roy 1939, Verma and Agarwal 2006, Vietnam and Laos (Genevray et al 1934), Thailand (Papasarathorn et al 1961, Wongsathuaythong et al 1977, Sri Lanka (Kamaladasa et al 1997), and Malaysia (Mokhtar et al 1993, Rahmah andNorjaiza 2008). Outbreaks have been recorded during summer in temperate countries such as China (Jin 1990, Sheng and Sheng 1995, Huang et al 2009), Taiwan (Miyamoto 1934, Wang et al 1969, Wang 1971, Japan (Huse 1930, Armstrong and WinÞeld 1969, Kurosa 1977, Iran (Zargari et al 2003, Nikbakhtzadeh andTirgari 2008), Russia (Sakharov 1915), and Italy (Baccaredda 1935, Borroni et al 1991, Gelmetti and Grimalt 1993. This pattern of outbreaks illustrates that P. fuscipes is widely disseminated but restricted to warm climates (Frank and Kanamitsu 1987).…”

“…Popularmente conhecido como "potó", "fogo-selvagem", "trepa-moleque" ou "péla-égua" este coleóptero pertence à família Staphylinidae, cujo gênero Paederus está associado a acidentes pela pederina − toxina de contato, amida cristalina, potente inibidor da síntese de proteínas, cáustico-vesicante, presente na hemolinfa do Paederus sp.. Estes artrópodes são polífagos, predadores de outros insetos, nematódeos e girinos, medindo de 7 a 13 mm 4,6 . Outros pertencem à família Meloidea; gêneros Lytta e Epicauta são conhecidos por "Potó-pimenta", "potó-grande" ou "burrinho" e medem 15 a 30 mm, levando a queimaduras por cantaridina, também de uso terapêutico 4,7,8 .…”
