Anisodactylus Binotatus Fabr., a Carabid Beetle New to New Zealand, and a Review of the Exotic Carabid Fauna
Pacific Insects 5 (4) : 837-847 December 30, 1963 ANISODACTYLUS BINOTATUS FABR., A CARABID BEETLE NEW TO NEW ZEALAND, AND A REVIEW OF THE EXOTIC CARABID FAUNA By R. L. C. Pilgrim DEPT, OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY, NEW ZEALAND Abstract: Anisodactylus binotatus Fabr. 1787 (Col.: Carabidae), an introduced species now established in Canterbury (South Island), New Zealand, is reported for the first time. The literature respecting other carabids sometimes recorded as introduced is reviewed; Ago- nochila binotata (White, 1846), Agonum submetallicum (White, 1846), Hypharpax australasiae (Dejean, 1829) and Pentagonica vittipennis Chaudoir, 1877 are shown to be better considered as endemic to the Australia - New Zealand area. Other species are classed as either native to New Zealand, clearly introduced though not all established, or of doubtful occurrence in New Zealand. Introduction: The Carabidae of New Zealand are predominantly endemic species, but a small number of exotic species has been recorded. This paper reports a further introduc tion to the carabid fauna of this country and concludes with a survey of recorded exotic Carabidae in New Zealand. Specimens of the newly-recorded species were collected in domestic gardens in Christ church, and were included in a collection sent for identification to Dr. E. B. Britton, British Museum (Nat. Hist.), who kindly drew the writer's attention to the fact that they were so far unreported from New Zealand. Description of adult (from New Zealand specimens) Fig. 1. Anisodactylus binotatus Fabricius, 1787 Color: Head, pronotum, elytra and femora black; tibiae and tarsi light brown to red- black ; palps and antennal segments 1-2 brown, remainder of antennae black; leg spines red-brown; head with small red spot on frons between eyes. -

Yanahan University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign During the Pleistocene, glacial advances left a small gap in the northwestern corner of Illinois, southwestern Wisconsin, and northeastern Iowa, which were never covered by the advancing Pleistocene glaciers (Taylor et al. 2009, p. 8, fig. 2.2). This is the Driftless Area – and it is one of Illinois’ most unique natural regions, comprising little more than 1% of the state. Illinois’ Driftless Area harbors more than 30 threatened or endangered plant species, and several unique habitat types. Among these habitats are talus, or scree, slopes, some of which retain ice throughout the year. The talus slopes that retain ice through the summer, and thus form a habitat which rarely exceeds 50 °F, even when the surrounding air temperature is in the 90’s °F, are known as “algific slopes.” While there are numerous examples of algific slopes in Iowa and Wisconsin, this habitat is very rare in Illinois (fewer than ten truly algific sites are known in the state). -

Ground Beetle Communities (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of Holm Oak-Forests (Quercus Ilex) and Their Degradation Stages on Mallorca (Iles Baleares, Spain)
Ground beetle communities (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of Holm oak-forests (Quercus ilex) and their degradation stages on Mallorca (Iles Baleares, Spain) Raphael SCHULLER and Erik ARNDT Schuller, R. and Arndt, E. 2008. Ground beetle communities (Coleoptera, Carabidae) SHNB of Holm oak-forests (Quercus ilex) and their degradation stages on Mallorca (Iles Baleares, Spain). Boll. Soc. Hist. Nat. Balears, 51: 63-72. ISSN 0212-260X. Palma de Mallorca. Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) were examined in the Serra de Tramuntana (Mallorca). These beetles serve as ecological indicators to describe effects of human impact in terrestrial habitats and are used in nature conservation. There were analysed holm oak (Quercus ilex) forest sites as well as garrigue sites in former oak forest SOCIETAT D’HISTÒRIA areas. A total of 17 Carabid species with 1810 individuals was recorded. One species, NATURAL DE LES BALEARS Pseudomasoreus canigoulensis, was found first time on the Balearic islands. The species numbers per site varied between 2-6 in forests and 5-10 in garrigues. Despite the lower species number, the forest sites had more individuals due to a large population density of Calosoma sycophanta, a specialized oak forest species. The ground beetle community changes clearly between forest and garrigue in the Serra de Tramuntana despite the fact that both habitat types are located in direct neighbourhood and that both habitat types are shared by many abundant species in other Mediterranean areas (e.g. Greek mountains). We must conclude that the decrease of forest area and forest fragmentation of Mallorca are connected with decrease and possible disappearing of typical (in part endemic) forest Carabidae which do not find secondary habitats in shrubland. -

Carabid beetles were collected with the help of pitfall traps and identified up to specie level with the help of available literature. We identified five species under three genera belonging to 3 sub-families. These sub families are Licininae, Carabinae, Brachininae and the species are Carabus caschmirensis, Chlaenius quadricolar, Pheropsophus sobrinus, Chlaenius laticollis, and Chlaenius hamifer. Carabus cashmirensis was the most abundant species. It was followed by Chlaenius quadricolar, Pheropsophus sobrinus, Chlaenius laticollis, and Chlenius hamifer. Key words: Abundant, Bio-indicator, Carabidae, Poonch, Systematics I. Introduction Poonch district is of subtropical high land type to temperate area of southern Azad Kashmir receives an average rainfall of 1400 – 1800mm annually. The temperature ranges from 2C˚ to 38C˚ during extreme winter it falls below 0C˚. Some of major plants as apple, some citrus, walnut, apricot and many others along with thick mixed forests of evergreen pine, deodar, blue pine cedar trees and fir are present in study area. Surveyed area hosts the family Carabidae while an estimation of 40,000 species throughout the world [1]. -
A Genus-Level Supertree of Adephaga (Coleoptera) Rolf G
ARTICLE IN PRESS Organisms, Diversity & Evolution 7 (2008) 255–269 www.elsevier.de/ode A genus-level supertree of Adephaga (Coleoptera) Rolf G. Beutela,Ã, Ignacio Riberab, Olaf R.P. Bininda-Emondsa aInstitut fu¨r Spezielle Zoologie und Evolutionsbiologie, FSU Jena, Germany bMuseo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid, Spain Received 14 October 2005; accepted 17 May 2006 Abstract A supertree for Adephaga was reconstructed based on 43 independent source trees – including cladograms based on Hennigian and numerical cladistic analyses of morphological and molecular data – and on a backbone taxonomy. To overcome problems associated with both the size of the group and the comparative paucity of available information, our analysis was made at the genus level (requiring synonymizing taxa at different levels across the trees) and used Safe Taxonomic Reduction to remove especially poorly known species. The final supertree contained 401 genera, making it the most comprehensive phylogenetic estimate yet published for the group. Interrelationships among the families are well resolved. Gyrinidae constitute the basal sister group, Haliplidae appear as the sister taxon of Geadephaga+ Dytiscoidea, Noteridae are the sister group of the remaining Dytiscoidea, Amphizoidae and Aspidytidae are sister groups, and Hygrobiidae forms a clade with Dytiscidae. Resolution within the species-rich Dytiscidae is generally high, but some relations remain unclear. Trachypachidae are the sister group of Carabidae (including Rhysodidae), in contrast to a proposed sister-group relationship between Trachypachidae and Dytiscoidea. Carabidae are only monophyletic with the inclusion of a non-monophyletic Rhysodidae, but resolution within this megadiverse group is generally low. Non-monophyly of Rhysodidae is extremely unlikely from a morphological point of view, and this group remains the greatest enigma in adephagan systematics. -

Acta Biologica Sibirica 7: 125–141. https://doi. org/10.3897/abs.7.e67015 Abstract Bulgarian ground beetle (Coleoptera, Carabidae) fauna is relatively well studied but there are still many species and regions in the country which are not well researched. The present study aims at complementing the data about the distribution of the carabids from the tribes Pterostichini, Spho- drini, and Platynini, containing many diverse, interesting, and endemic species. It gives new records for 67 species and 23 zoogeographical regions in Bulgaria. The material was collected in the period from 1926 to 2021 through different sampling methods. Twenty-three species are recorded for the first time in different regions. Six species are reported for the second time in the regions where they were currently collected. Thirty-one species have not been reported for more than 20 years in Eastern and Middle Stara Planina Mts., Kraishte region, Boboshevo-Simitli valley, Sandanski-Petrich valley, Lyulin Mts., Vitosha Mts., Rila Mts., Pirin Mts., Slavyanka Mts., Thracian Lowland, and Sakar-Tundzha re- gion. -

RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DEAD WOOD AND ARTHROPODS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES by MICHAEL DARRAGH ULYSHEN (Under the Direction of James L. Hanula) ABSTRACT The importance of dead wood to maintaining forest diversity is now widely recognized. However, the habitat associations and sensitivities of many species associated with dead wood remain unknown, making it difficult to develop conservation plans for managed forests. The purpose of this research, conducted on the upper coastal plain of South Carolina, was to better understand the relationships between dead wood and arthropods in the southeastern United States. In a comparison of forest types, more beetle species emerged from logs collected in upland pine-dominated stands than in bottomland hardwood forests. This difference was most pronounced for Quercus nigra L., a species of tree uncommon in upland forests. In a comparison of wood postures, more beetle species emerged from logs than from snags, but a number of species appear to be dependent on snags including several canopy specialists. In a study of saproxylic beetle succession, species richness peaked within the first year of death and declined steadily thereafter. However, a number of species appear to be dependent on highly decayed logs, underscoring the importance of protecting wood at all stages of decay. In a study comparing litter-dwelling arthropod abundance at different distances from dead wood, arthropods were more abundant near dead wood than away from it. In another study, ground- dwelling arthropods and saproxylic beetles were little affected by large-scale manipulations of dead wood in upland pine-dominated forests, possibly due to the suitability of the forests surrounding the plots. -
New Data on Lithuanian Beetle (Coleoptera) Fauna

E-mail:[email protected] Introduction The most important information on Lithuanian Coleoptera was summarized and published in the monograph „Lietuvos fauna. Vabalai“ (Pileckis & Monsevičius, 1995, 1997). This monograph presents the list of more then 2850 Coleoptera species. However, the latest records (Barševskis, 2001; Ferenca, 2003, 2004; Ferenca et al., 2002, 2006, 2007; Inokaitis, 2004; Monsevičius & Pankevičius, 2001; Šablevičius, 2003, 2004; Šablevičius & Ferenca, 1995; Tamutis, 1996, 2001a, 2001b, 2003, 2004; Tamutis & Ferenca, 2006) contain information on more than 450 species of Lithuanian Coleoptera. This paper presents information on 24 new Coleoptera species for Lithuania. Two species (Chlaenius spoliatus and Harpalus melancholicus) should be removed from the list of Lithuanian Coleoptera, as misidentified. Material and Methods The present data based on the material collected by the authors of this report during field research. Some of the material was deposited in the collection of Kaunas T. Ivanauskas Zoological Museum and personal collections of Lithuanian coleopterologists. The biggest part of species was collected by the authors: Vytautas Tamutis (V. T.), Romas Ferenca (R.

– 101 – Les Peuplements Des Coléoptères Du Marais Salé De L
LES PEUPLEMENTS DES COLÉOPTÈRES DU MARAIS SALÉ DE L’embouCHURE DE LA TAFNA (ALGÉRIE) Samira BOUKLI HACENE 1, Karima HASSAINE 1 & Philippe PONEL 2 SUMMARY. — Coleopteran communities of the salt marsh at the mouth of the Tafna River (Algeria). — A study of Coleopteran communities was conducted between October 2009 and September 2010 in the salt marsh at the mouth of the Tafna River. Bimonthly trappings were carried out in five groups of vegetation and yielded 3833 specimens belonging to 140 species. This richness varies from one group to another (19 to 87 species). The high values are directly related to a shorter period of submersion, a lower salinity but also a greater floristic richness. Diversity indicators show that communities are diversified, regular and well structured with the exception of the samples from the lowest points where the highest salt concentrations are recorded. The highest richness and abundance are recorded mainly between early spring and early summer. Community composition is very different from one group to another ; the similarity index does not exceed 40 %. The spatial micro-distribution of grouping floristic species has been demonstrated through an ascend- ing hierarchical analysis. RÉSUMÉ. — Une étude des peuplements des Coléoptères a été réalisée entre octobre 2009 et septembre 2010 dans le marais salé de l’embouchure de la Tafna. Des piégeages bimensuels effectués dans cinq grou- pements de végétation ont fourni 3833 spécimens répartis en 140 espèces. Cette richesse spécifique varie d’un groupement à un autre (de 19 à 87 espèces). Les richesses élevées sont en relation directe avec une période de submersion moins longue, un taux de salinité moins élevé mais également une richesse floristi- que plus importante.
