PREFACE Biological resources include all organisms and their genetic characteristics. Conservation and utiliza- tion of these resources have the capacity to improve human life and to enhance the world. Therefore it is required that the practical and potential values of these organisms are conserved and used wisely. The first step towards this goal is to document our biological diversity and to investigate them in detail. Biological resources increase the competitiveness of a nation through their use as fundamental resources for making highly valued products, such as new lines of cultivar, materials, and drugs. Many countries in the world are responsible for preserving their biodiversity and using the sustainable ways. The Ministry of Environment (MOE) of Korea has established “CBD-CHM Korea” to share of infor- mation of biodiversity. Each nation in the world is investigating and clearing information of native species within its territory. The National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR) of MOE has published the ‘Flora and Fauna of Korea’ since 2009 to manage biological resources in comprehensive ways and to enhance national compe- titiveness by building up the foundation for the sovereignty rights over biological resources. Professional research groups, consisting of professors and other taxonomic experts, have systematically examined 15,545 species of vascular plants, animals and other organisms over the past 10 years and have published their find- ings in 191 volumes in Korean and 196 volumes in English, and two volumes of monographs covering 216 species of invertebrates. This year, 21 volumes of the Flora and Fauna of Korea in both Korean and English versions including 704 species of vascular plants, invertebrates and insects are additionally published. The NIBR will continue to publish and research of flora and fauna of Korea that contribute conserva- tion and sustainable use of biological resources. Finally, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to authors who made efforts in writing the manuscripts of the Flora and Fauna of Korea.

Enochrus vilis is affirmed as a distinct species and restored from synonymy of E. (M.) affinis (Thunberg, 1794). The lectotype of E. uniformis is designated. Enochrus uniformis and E. vilis are redescribed. Enochrus vilis exhibits geographical variation in body size and the shape of the median lobe of the aedeagus. Two morphologically differentiated populations of E. vilis (northern and southern populations) were detected in Japan. Genetic distance of the COI gene between the specimens collected from Hokkaido (northern population) and Yamaguchi Prefecture (southern population) is 1.67%. Occurrence of E. affinis in Japan is confirmed and diagnostic information of the species is provided. Author’s address.

  • Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) Are Specialist Predators of Snails
    Eur. J. Entomol. 112(1): 145–150, 2015 doi: 10.14411/eje.2015.016 ISSN 1210-5759 (print), 1802-8829 (online) Larvae of the water scavenger beetle, Hydrophilus acuminatus (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) are specialist predators of snails TOSHIO INODA1, YUTA INODA1 and JUNE KATHYLEEN RULLAN 2 1 Shibamata 5-17-10, Katsushika, Tokyo 125-0052, Japan; e-mail: [email protected] 2 University of the Philippines, Manila, Philippines; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Coleoptera, Hydrophilidae, Hydrophilus acuminatus, feeding preferences, snail specialist Abstract. Hydrophilus acuminatus larvae are known to feed on aquatic prey. However, there is no quantitative study of their feeding habits. In order to determine the feeding preferences and essential prey of larvae of H. acuminatus, both field and laboratory experi- ments were carried out. Among the five potential species of prey,Austropeplea ollula (Mollusca: Lymnaeidae), Physa acuta (Mollusca: Physidae), Asellus hilgendorfi (Crustacea: Asellidae), Palaemon paucidens (Crustacea: Palaemonidae) and larvae of Propsilocerus akamusi (Insecta: Chironomidae), the first instar larvae of H. acuminatus strongly prefered the Austropeplea and Physa snails in both cafeteria and single-prey species experiments. Larvae that were provided with only snails also successfully developed into second instar larvae, while larvae fed Palaemon, Propsilocerus larvae or Asellus died during the first instar. In addition, the size of adult H. acuminatus reared from first-instar larvae and fed only snails during their entire development was not different from that of adult H. acuminatus collected in the field. This indicates that even though the larvae ofH. acuminatus can feed on several kinds of invertebrates, they strongly prefer snails and without them cannot complete their development.

G. de viedmal and M. L. els son' Several works on the order Coleoptera have appeared in recent years, some of them creating new superfamilies, others modifying the constitution of these or creating new families, finally others are genera1 revisions of the order. The authors believe that the current classification of this order, incorporating these changes would prove useful. The following outline is based mainly on Crowson (1960, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1971, 1972, 1973) and Crowson and Viedma (1964). For characters used on classification see Viedma (1972) and for family synonyms Abdullah (1969). Major features of this conspectus are the rejection of the two sections of Adephaga (Geadephaga and Hydradephaga), based on Bell (1966) and the new sequence of Heteromera, based mainly on Crowson (1966), with adaptations.

  • 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.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The burrowing water beetle genus Liocanthydrus Guignot, 1957 is redefined and its species are revised. Of the four current species, three are recognized as belonging to the genus and redescribed: L. angustus (Guignot, 1957), L. octoguttatus (Zimmermann, 1921) and L. uniformis (Zimmermann, 1921). The fourth species, L. buqueti (Laporte, 1835) is found to not be a member of Liocanthydrus, but of an undescribed genus. The noterid genus Siolius J. Balfour-Browne, 1969, is synonymized with Liocanthydrus (new synonymy) based on comparison of type specimens in both groups. Two of the three species described in Siolius, S. bicolor J. Balfour-Browne, 1969 and S. clayae J. Balfour-Browne, 1969, are recog- nized as valid, transferred to Liocanthydrus, and redescribed. The third, S. amazonicus J.

  • Holocene Palaeoenvironmental Reconstruction Based on Fossil Beetle Faunas from the Altai-Xinjiang Region, China
    Holocene palaeoenvironmental reconstruction based on fossil beetle faunas from the Altai-Xinjiang region, China Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of London By Tianshu Zhang February 2018 Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London Declaration of Authorship I Tianshu Zhang hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 25/02/2018 1 Abstract This project presents the results of the analysis of fossil beetle assemblages extracted from 71 samples from two peat profiles from the Halashazi Wetland in the southern Altai region of northwest China. The fossil assemblages allowed the reconstruction of local environments of the early (10,424 to 9500 cal. yr BP) and middle Holocene (6374 to 4378 cal. yr BP). In total, 54 Coleoptera taxa representing 44 genera and 14 families have been found, and 37 species have been identified, including a new species, Helophorus sinoglacialis. The majority of the fossil beetle species identified are today part of the Siberian fauna, and indicate cold steppe or tundra ecosystems. Based on the biogeographic affinities of the fossil faunas, it appears that the Altai Mountains served as dispersal corridor for cold-adapted (northern) beetle species during the Holocene. Quantified temperature estimates were made using the Mutual Climate Range (MCR) method. In addition, indicator beetle species (cold adapted species and bark beetles) have helped to identify both cold and warm intervals, and moisture conditions have been estimated on the basis of water associated species.
