Three new species from Mexico are described and illustrated: Canidia chemsaki, C. giesberti, and C. turnbowi. The following new synonymies are proposed: Canidiop- sis similis Dillon, 1955 and Canidiopsis hebes Dillon, 1955 = Canidia mexicana Thomson, 1860; Pseudocanidia cuernavacae Dillon, 1955 = Dectes spinicornis Bates, 1881; and Dectes (Canidia) balteata var. inapicalis Tippmann, 1960 = Dectes balteatus Lacordaire, 1872. A key to the eight species and one subspecies is presented.

Sfblake and Tithonia Diversifolia
Prospective agents for the biological control of Tithonia rotundifolia (Mill.) S.F.Blake and Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A.Gray (Asteraceae) in South Africa D.O. Simelane1*, K.V. Mawela1 & A. Fourie2 1Agricultural Research Council-Plant Protection Research Institute, Private Bag X134, Queenswood, 0121 South Africa 2Agricultural Research Council-Plant Protection Research Institute, Private Bag X5017 Stellenbosch, 7599 South Africa Starting in 2007, two weedy sunflower species, Tithonia rotundifolia (Mill.) S.F.Blake and Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A.Gray (Asteraceae: Heliantheae), were targeted for biological control in South Africa. Surveys conducted in their native range (Mexico) revealed that there were five potential biological control agents for T.rotundifolia, and three of these are currently undergoing host-specificity and performance evaluations in South Africa. Two leaf-feeding beetles, Zygogramma signatipennis (Stål) and Zygogramma piceicollis (Stål) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), are the most promising biological control agents for T. rotundifolia: prelimi- nary host-specificity trials suggest that they are adequately host-specific. The stem-boring beetle, Lixus fimbriolatus Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is also highly damaging to T. rotundifolia, but its host range is yet to be determined. Two other stem-boring beetles, Canidia mexicana Thomson (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) and Rhodobaenus auctus Chevrolat (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), have also been recorded on T. rotundifolia, and these will be considered for further testing if L. fimbriolatus is found to be unsuitable for release in South Africa. Only two insect species were imported as candidate agents on T. diversifolia, the leaf-feeding butterfly Chlosyne sp. (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), and an unidentified stem-boring moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae): the latter was tested in quarantine but rejected because it attacked several sunflower cultivars. -
The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution
INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

Ethnoentomological and Distributional Notes on Cerambycidae and Other Coleoptera of Guerrero and Puebla,Mexico

AND STEVEN W. LINGAFELTER Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Agriculture Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution,Washington, DC 20013-7012, U.S.A. Current address: 8920 South Bryerly Ct., Hereford, AZ 85615, U.S.A. ABSTRACT This article presents both ethnoentomological notes on Nahuatl and Mixtec language terms as they are applied to Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) and distributional records for species collected during three projects carried out in the states of Guerrero and Puebla, Mexico. Some comparative data from other Mesoamerican and Native American languages are discussed. Indigenous common names are mapped onto current taxonomic nomenclature, and an analysis is offered of the logical basis for Indigenous classification: the exclusion of some cerambycids and the inclusion of other beetles in the nominal native “cerambycid” category. New state distributional records for the Cerambycidae collected in this study are offered for Guerrero: Bebelis picta Pascoe, Callipogon senex Dupont, Neocompsa macrotricha Martins, Olenosus ser- rimanus Bates, Ornithia mexicana zapotensis Tippmann, Stenygra histrio Audinet-Serville, Strongylaspis championi Bates, Lissonotus flavocinctus puncticollis Bates, and Nothopleurus lobigenis Bates; and Puebla: Juiaparus mexicanus (Thomson), Ptychodes guttulatus Dillon and Dillon, and Steirastoma senex White. Key Words: linguistics, etymology, Nahuatl, Mixtec, longhorned beetle, wood-borer DOI.org/10.1649/0010-065X-71.2.301 The present article emerges from two language shapes. -

A Revision and Phylogenetic Analysis of Trichrous
A revision and phylogenetic analysis of Trichrous Chevrolat 1858, and a review of Plectocerum Dejean 1835 (Coleoptera:Cerambycidae:Elaphidiini) by Kelvin Antonio Guerrero A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology Montana State University © Copyright by Kelvin Antonio Guerrero (2001) Abstract: Trichrous Chevrolat was found to be polyphyletic, with 17 named forms belonging to 2 tribes, 5 lineages, and 15 species. Three species are recognized in the redefined elaphidiine genus Trichrous: T. irroratus (Olivier), T. jaegeri Chevrolat, and T. nigripes Fisher. The monophyly of Trichrous sensu nov. is supported by synapomorphies of the hypomeron punctation (relative to disc) and pronotal shape. The relationship between the included species was hypothesized as [[T irroratus, T nigripes] T jaegeri]. This monophyletic genus is endemic to Hispaniola. Trichrous bicolor Fisher (not Salle) is placed under T. jaegeri Chevrolat as a NEW SYNONYMY. Poeciloderma lineolatus White and T pilipennis Chevrolat are moved to Plectocerum Dejean as P. lineolatum (White) NEW COMBINATION and P. pilipenne (Chevrolat) NEW COMBINATION. Eleven names are provisionally removed to the heteropsine genus Heterops: Mallosoma bicolor Salle, Poeciloderma terminalis White, Poeciloderma basalis White, T brevicomis Zayas, T. dimidiatipennis Chevrolat, T. divisus Chevrolat, T. jamaicensis Chevrolat, T. major Gahan, T. prasinus Cazier and Lacey, T. violaceipennis Fisher, and T. vittatus Fisher are now treated as H. bicolor (Salle) NEW COMBINATION, H. terminalis (White) NEW COMBINATION, H. basalis (White) NEW COMBINATION, H. brevicomis (Zayas) NEW COMBINATION, H. dimidiatipennis (Chevrolat) NEW COMBINATION, H. divisus (Chevrolat) NEW COMBINATION, H. major (Gahan) NEW COMBINATION, H. prasinus (Cazier and Lacey) NEW COMBINATION, H. -
