Additions, Deletions and Corrections to the Staphylinidae in the Irish Coleoptera Annotated List, with a Revised Check-List of Irish Species
Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society Number 41 (2017) ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO THE STAPHYLINIDAE IN THE IRISH COLEOPTERA ANNOTATED LIST, WITH A REVISED CHECK-LIST OF IRISH SPECIES Jervis A. Good1 and Roy Anderson2 1Glinny, Riverstick, Co. Cork, Republic of Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 21 Belvoirview Park, Belfast BT8 7BL, Northern Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> Abstract Since the 1997 Irish Coleoptera – a revised and annotated list, 59 species of Staphylinidae have been added to the Irish list, 11 species confirmed, a number have been deleted or require to be deleted, and the status of some species and names require correction. Notes are provided on the deletion, correction or status of 63 species, and a revised check-list of 710 species is provided with a generic index. Species listed, or not listed, as Irish in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera (2nd edition), in comparison with this list, are discussed. The Irish status of Gabrius sexualis Smetana, 1954 is questioned, although it is retained on the list awaiting further investgation. Key words: Staphylinidae, check-list, Irish Coleoptera, Gabrius sexualis. Introduction The Staphylinidae (rove-beetles) comprise the largest family of beetles in Ireland (with 621 species originally recorded by Anderson, Nash and O’Connor (1997)) and in the world (with 55,440 species cited by Grebennikov and Newton (2009)). Since the publication in 1997 of Irish Coleoptera - a revised and annotated list by Anderson, Nash and O’Connor, there have been a large number of additions (59 species), confirmation of the presence of several species based on doubtful old records, a number of deletions and corrections, and significant nomenclatural and taxonomic changes to the list of Irish Staphylinidae. -
The Rove Beetles of Leicestershire and Rutland
LEICESTERSHIRE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Rove Beetles (Staphylinidae) of Leicestershire and Rutland Part 1: Sub-families Paederinae, Pseudopsinae and Staphylininae Derek A. Lott Creophilus maxillosus (Graham Calow) LESOPS 24 (2011) ISSN 0957 – 1019 Correspondence: 5 Welland Road, Barrow upon Soar, LE12 8NA VC55 Staphylinids Part 1 2 Introduction With over 56,000 described species in the world, the Staphylinidae are the largest family in the animal 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 River Soar 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. -

By Ulrich Irmler & Stephan Giirlich Summary Although the rove beetle family is one of the most species rich insect families, it is ecologically rarely investigated. Little is known about the influence of environmental demands on the occurrence of the species. Thus, the present investigation aims to relate rove beetle assemblages and species to soil and forest parameters of Schleswig- Holstein (northern Germany). In the southernmost region of Schleswig-Holstein near Geesthacht, 65 sites were investigated by pitfall traps studying the relationship be tween the rove beetle fauna and the following environmental parameters: soil pH, organic matter content, habitat area and canopy cover. In total 265 rove beetle species have been recorded, and of these 69 are listed as endangered in Schleswig-Holstein. Four assemblages could be differentiated, but separation was weak. Wood area and canopy cover were significantly related with the rove beetle composition using a multivariate analysis. In particular, two assemblages of loosely wooded sites, or heath-like vegetation, were significantly differentiated from the densely forested assemblages by canopy cover and Corg-content of soil. Spearman analysis revealed significant results for only 30 species out of 80. -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract An illustrated key to the 29 genera of Philonthina currently known in the New World is provided, based on adult morpho- logical characters. Updated information on the morphology, taxonomic history, bionomics and distribution of the Phi- lonthina in the study area is also provided. Key words: Staphylininae, Philonthina, New World, taxonomy, distribution Introduction The subtribe Philonthina Kirby 1837, with 65 genera and about 2500 species currently cited (Herman 2001; Newton & Thayer 2005; Newton, unpublished database catalog), is the largest subtribe within Staphylinini in both number of genera and species, and also the most speciose subtribe within Staphylininae, accounting for more than one third of the species recorded for this subfamily (ca. 7000 spp.) (Herman 2001; Newton, unpublished database catalog). According to the above-mentioned authors, 29 genera of Philonthina are known to occur in the New World with over 700 species recorded. The species of the megadiverse and cosmopolitan genus Philonthus Stephens represent almost one half of that total, with 338 species currently recorded in the New World (Newton, unpublished database catalog). -

Adrian Woodruffe-Peacock, f.l.s., f.g.s. EXPLANATION OF SIGNS. Natural history divisions i to 12 are in 54 N. Lines., plus sign before divisions 13 to 18 in 53 S. Lines. The ( + ) division numbers signifies that the species has been recorded for all those divisions. The other form ( + all) that the plant has been found in every division of the county. The minus ( — ) sign before division numbers imphes that the species has been recorded for all the divisions except those indicated. The sign of multiplication (x) shows a hybrid. The equal ( = ) sign implies that the plant's record of frequency will be found under its second name in this list. A division number in parenthesis (12) implies that I have every reason to believe the plant is now extinct in its recorded locality for this division, but there is no doubt it was once there— (see Equisetiim hyemale, L.). An asterisk * after division number or numbers means I have seen no Lincolnshire specimens, and do not know of one; where there is no doubt about the authority for such records I say so.
