VC55 Staphylinids Part 1 2

Introduction

With over 56,000 described species in the world, the Staphylinidae are the largest family in the kingdom (Grebennikov & Newton, 2009). Around a quarter of the British beetles are rove beetles, so they represent an important component of biodiversity in Britain. However, because of perceived difficulties in their identification, they have not received the attention that they merit. This paper aims to play a part in redressing that imbalance by listing all reliable records from Leicestershire and Rutland for the different species and analysing which species have declined locally over 100 years of recording rove beetles and which have prospered. The subfamilies treated in this first part include the largest and most conspicuous species in the family. The geographical area covered is the vice county of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55). Some records from adjacent banks of the that technically lie in Nottinghamshire are also included. These records can be distinguished by the use of Nottinghamshire parish names.

Identification

Staphylinidae can be easily recognised among beetles in the field by their short wing cases that leave five or six segments of the abdomen exposed and flexible. In fact they look more like earwigs than other beetles. For identification to species, all the members of the subfamilies in this part will be covered by the forthcoming Royal Entomological Society handbook to Staphylinidae parts 6 and 7 due for publication in 2011.

Food

All the species covered in this part are believed to be predators both as adults and larvae, but scavenging dead animal material undoubtedly plays a part in the diet of many species as well as capturing live prey (Good & Giller, 1991). Typical prey items include other larvae, springtails and mites. Injured will always be attacked in preference to healthy victims and in these instances the prey spectrum is undoubtedly wider. The front legs of the adults have long movable coxae and trochanters. Betz & Mumm (2001) described how these are used to trap and hold prey by the species Philonthus marginatus . Adhesive setae on the front tarsi are also used to immobilise prey. Many species in the have large eyes equipped for diurnal hunting. They will eat other Staphylinidae if they are put in the same tube .

Habitats

Rove beetles can be classified into two groups according to their habitats. The first group is found in small patches of habitat with dense concentrations of prey. These habitats include • dung, • carrion, • rotting fungi, • nests of mammals, birds and social Hymenoptera either underground or in tree hollows, • artificial litter piles such as compost heaps and dung heaps, • various habitats associated with wood decay.

The second group is found in more extensive habitats with lower concentrations of prey and consequently sparser density of rove populations. Soil humidity and temperature are important factors in determining occupancy of these more extensive habitats, because this is where the larvae develop. These factors are in turn determined by natural disturbance cycles caused by, for example, grazing or flooding.

Wetland species can be grouped into permanent wet mire species that require the soil to be waterlogged all year round and fluctuating marsh species that occupy sites, where soils dry out to varying extents in the summer. VC55 contains some important sites for rare species that occupy undisturbed fluctuating marsh with soils remaining humid in the summer (Lott, 2009a). In fact, Saddington is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest largely because of this type of community that is present there. Riparian species are dependent on deposition of fresh sediment by rivers during Floods. The larvae develop in these sedimentary deposits when they become exposed by falling water levels in the spring and summer.

Sources of records

Most of the records listed in the systematic section are based on species identifications by the author. A small number of additional records that are considered to be reliable are listed separately under each species. Species, whose inclusion in the Leicestershire and Rutland list is due to unreliable records in the literature, are listed separately. Three main sources of records were used.

Manuscripts and literature - Lott (2009b) described the history of beetle collecting in VC55 and the progression of literature and manuscripts that it generated. It is evident that the first wave of collectors, including Henry Walter Bates and Francis Plant, largely ignored the Staphylinidae and it was the Reverend Andrew Matthews and Frederick Bates who first systematically included Staphylinidae in their lists. The flaws in the Matthews’ list have been discussed elsewhere (Lott, 2009b) and most of the records have been ignored in the current work except for a very small number with details of time and place. Bates’ manuscript list (Bates, 1896) gives odd records of Staphylinidae that are included whenever the reliability of the allows. The Victoria County History for Leicestershire list (Bouskell, 1907) gives the status of a few species at that time, but rather perversely ignores the more common species. A card index compiled by Don Tozer gives an assessment of the status of many species in the first half of the 20 th century, but needs careful interpretation because of misidentifications. Individual records in manuscripts and the literature are often difficult to assess, unless voucher material can be located. The reliability of identifications is often open to question because of (i) taxonomic problems inherent in old records and (ii) added difficulties caused by lack of access to the taxonomic literature. Many records listed in manuscript sources that were never intended for serious publication have been ignored in the present work.

Collections - the material held by Leicestershire County Council Museums Service has been systematically reidentified and the records extracted for the present work. There is no Matthews material in the Leicestershire collections at Barrow upon Soar and very little Bates material. What Bates material there is has no data. There is Matthews and Bates material elsewhere (Lott, 2009b) but without data and has been translocated from collection to collection so that the original identifications are either lost or obscured. The oldest substantial body of material at Barrow upon Soar dates from the 1890s and relates to collections made by CT Crutwell, CB Headly and JH Woolley. The first two of these collections contain locality data, but the Woolley material is largely without data, the material from the first half of the 20 th century is much more substantial. Unfortunately, the WH Barrow material is largely without data whereas data given by other collectors is much more useful. In the cases of Taylor and Tozer collections are supplemented by their notebooks. Don Tozer and Claude Henderson professed to have neglected the Staphylinidae in their collecting activities but their collections contain a large amount of useful material. The problems connected with misplaced locality labels evident in Henderson’s Carabidae (Lott 2009b) appear to be absent from his Staphylinidae. Their collections, together with that of Taylor, provide a very useful picture of the status of species at this period. Records have also been extracted from the private collection of Tony Drane, a Northamptonshire-based coleopterist who operated from the late 1970s onwards. The majority of records extracted from collections originate from Taylor, Tozer and Henderson (Table 1) who were operating mainly between 1905 and 1955 (Figure 1). If there is any bias in the records from these collections it is in the poor showing of wetland species. The early 20 th century collectors stayed very much on dry land.

Fieldwork - the vast majority of recent records come from fieldwork carried out by the author. From 1982 to 1990 this mostly consisted of casual collecting in a wide variety of habitats. From 1991 onwards the author concentrated on systematic collecting in wetland habitats (Figure 2). However, up until 1995 other habitats were explored by pitfall trapping projects in association with Jon Daws, Ed Darby, Sally Mousley (Charnwood Wildlife Project) and a number of volunteers working on nature reserves managed by the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust.

Species deleted from the VC55 list

Table 2 details species that have published records for VC55 but are here considered unreliable; consequently the species have been deleted from the VC55 list.

Species that appear to have declined in VC55

The records listed in this part and the proposed next can be used to identify those species that have declined over time in VC55.

Thirteen species that were probably once established in VC55 have not been recorded in the flurry of activity that began in the 1980s despite being recorded regularly by earlier collectors (Table 3).

Table 3: Species once established in VC55 but not recorded since 1960

Species No records Last recorded Habitat fulgidus 2 1909 Artificial litter piles Leptacinus formicetorum 2 1937 Ant nests Philonthus ebeninus 1 1937 Extensive habitats on damp soils Dinothenarus pubescens 10 1941 Patch habitats including litter piles Quedius fulgidus 1 1941 Artificial litter piles Bisnius subuliformis 5 1941 Bird nests in hollow trees Leptacinus intermedius 12 1942 Artificial litter piles Staphylinus dimidiaticornis 1 1945 Extensive habitats on damp soils ochracea 11 1947 Artificial litter piles Philonthus parvicornis 2 1947 Dung Quedius brevis 21 1956 Ant nests Gabrius nigritulus 16 1958 Probably artificial litter piles Gyrohypnus atratus 4 1960 Ant nests

Some of these may have become extinct in VC55. Eleven of these species are associated with patch habitats, mostly artificial litter piles. Three species were associated with the nests of the Wood Ant, Formica rufa, which became extinct in VC55 in the 1960s, so we can be more definite about their extinction in VC55.

Around 30 species were recorded more frequently before 1960 than after 1960, despite the more intensive recording of rove beetles from the 1980s onward (Table 4). These must be considered candidates for species, whose populations have declined in VC55.

Immigrant species that have colonised VC55

A large number of species have been recorded since 1980, but not beforehand. In most cases this is because of the more intense recording that discovered previously overlooked species especially in wetland and riparian habitats. However the species listed in table 5 are known to have colonised as a whole during the 20 th century.

Rare species

Thirteen species have only been recorded once in VC55, while eight species have only been recorded twice (Table 6). These rarely recorded species fall into three categories.

Achenium depressum (2) Lathrobium ciceronii (1) humile (1) Lathrobium dilutum (1) Cryptic Hypnogyra angularis (1) littoralis (1) Lathrobium pallidum (2) Vagrant Pseudomedon obscurellus (1) Leptacinus formicetorum (2) /ephemeral Pseudomedon obsoletus (1) Bisnius pseudoparcus (2) Quedius xanthopus (1) Genuinely Lathrobium fovulum (2) laevigatus (1) rare Philonthus ebeninus (1) Scopaeus sulcicollis (1) Staphylinus dimidiaticornis (1) (2) Quedius fulgidus (1) Unclassified Phacophallus parumpunctatus (2) Philonthus parvicornis (2)

Five species have cryptic habitats and are very difficult to find by normal collecting methods. Their apparent rarity is due to the difficulties in recording them. Four species can be counted as

VC55 Staphylinids Part 1 7

genuinely rare species. They are not difficult to collect and as far as is known they live in stable populations in semi-natural habitats. Eight species are probably vagrants that have turned up in VC55 by accident during dispersal flights or ephemeral breeders that have come into VC55 for one or two years and then disappeared. A further four species are difficult to classify. They are either genuinely rare species or ephemeral breeders.

The most successful species

The most frequently recorded species are dominated by species of extensive habitats on damp soils (Tables 7-9). In frequency of records they far outnumber patch habitat species and wetland and riparian species. This may reflect, to some extent, bias in recording practices.

Some species are repeatedly recorded from a particular site which is evidently very important for maintaining a stable breeding population of that species (Table 10). Buddon Wood and Saddington Reservoir stand out as sites that fulfil this role for several species.

Lathrobium dilutum Tribe : Paederini Erichson, 1839 Subtribe : Lathrobiina Normally found in riverine shingle banks. Probably a vagrant in Leicestershire, but the possibility remains that it is an overlooked species of wider subterranean habits. It has been found in mammal burrows in mainland Europe.
