Murphy's Point Provincial Park MURPHY’S POINT PROVINCIAL PARK One Malaise trap was deployed at Murphy’s Point Provincial Park in 2014 (44.78118, -76.2336, 143m ASL; Figure 1). This trap collected arthropods for twenty weeks from May 8 – September 25, 2014. All 10 Malaise trap samples were processed; every other sample was analyzed using the individual specimen protocol while the second half was analyzed via bulk analysis. A total of 4491 BINs were obtained. Over half the BINs captured were flies (Diptera), followed by bees, ants and wasps (Hymenoptera), moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera), and beetles (Coleoptera; Figure 2). In total, 930 arthropod species Figure 1. Malaise trap deployed at Murphy’s Point were named, representing 23.1% of the BINs from Provincial Park in 2014. the site (Appendix 1). All but 2 of the BINs were assigned at least to family, and 55.2% were assigned to a genus (Appendix 2). Specimens collected from Murphy’s Point represent 250 different families and 954 genera.

Almost 300 species were collected on fungi and in flight interception traps. Among them, 18 species were recorded from the Western Beskid Mts. for the first time, 41 were new records for the Babia Góra NP, and 16 were from various categories on the Polish Red List of Animals. The first certain record of Bolitochara tecta ASSING, 2014 in Poland is reported. KEY WORDS: beetles, macromycetes, ecology, trophic interactions, Polish Carpathians, UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Introduction Beetles of the Babia Góra massif have been studied for over 150 years. The first study of the Coleoptera of Babia Góra was by ROTTENBERG th (1868), which included data on 102 species. During the 19 century, INTERESTING BEETLES (COLEOPTERA) IN THE BABIA GÓRA NP 213 several other papers including data on beetles from Babia Góra were published: 37 species were recorded from the area by KIESENWETTER (1869), a single species by NOWICKI (1870) and 47 by KOTULA (1873).

  • Ant-Like Flower Beetles (Coleoptera: Anthicidae) of the Uk, Ireland and Channel Isles
    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 23: 2010 99 ANT-LIKE FLOWER BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: ANTHICIDAE) OF THE UK, IRELAND AND CHANNEL ISLES DMITRY TELNOV Stopinu novads, Darza iela 10, LV-2130, Dzidrinas, Latvia; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Anthicidae or ant-like flower beetles of the UK, Ireland and Channel Isles are reviewed. A species list, identification key, short diagnoses and illustrations of all taxa are given. Brief information on known ecological preferences of species is given. Key words: identification, distribution, key, United Kingdom, Ireland, fauna, ecology. INTRODUCTION Anthicidae are a cosmopolitan family of small to medium-sized, fast-moving beetles of the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. Anthicidae are represented in the World fauna by approximately 100 genera, and about 3500 species (Chandler, 2010). Only a few species are known from the fossil record. The last revision of the British Anthicidae was published by F. D. Buck (1954) in the well-known series Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects. Since then, there have been numerous nomenclatural changes within Anthicidae, and some additional species (introduced) have been recorded from the UK, making Buck’s key out of date. During 2004 and 2005 a total of 3356 specimens of Anthicidae from the UK and Ireland were examined by the author, mainly from the collections of The Natural History Museum (London), Oxford University Museum of Natural History and National Museum of Ireland. Additional data for more than 2100 specimens were received from other British museums and private collections between 2005 and 2007. A new key and short diagnoses for the genera are presented, as well as data on habitats and general distribution of species.

  • 1 a Checklist of Arthropods Associated with Rat Carrion in a Montane Locality
    1 A checklist of arthropods associated with rat carrion in a montane locality of northern Venezuela. Yelitza Velásquez Laboratorio de Biología de Organismos, Centro de Ecología, Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas. Apartado Postal 21827, Caracas 1020-A, Venezuela Tel.: +58-212-504.1052; fax: +58-212-504.1088; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This is the first report of arthropods associated with carrion in Venezuela, using laboratory bred rats (Rattus norvegicus). Rat carcasses were exposed to colonization by arthropods in neighboring montane savanna and cloud forest habitats in the state of Miranda. The taxonomic composition of the arthropods varied between both ecosystems. Scarabaeidae, Silphidae, Micropezidae, Phoridae, Vespidae and one species of ant, were collected only in the cloud forest. Dermestes maculatus, Chrysomya albiceps, Termitidae and most species of ants, were found only in the savanna. Fourteen species were considered to be of primary forensic importance: Dermestes maculatus, Oxelytrum discicolle, Calliphora sp., Cochliomyia macellaria, Compsomyiops sp., Chrysomya albiceps, Phaenicia cuprina, P. sericata, P. eximia, Fannia sp., Puliciphora sp., Megaselia scalaris, Ravina sp. and Sarcophaga sp. Key words: Coleoptera, Diptera, Forensic entomology, Venezuela. Introduction There is relatively little information available regarding insects associated with animal carrion and human corpses in South America [1]. In Brazil, Moura et al. [2] made a preliminary analysis of the insects of medico-legal importance in Curitiba, in the state of 2 Paraná; Carvalho et al. [3] identified arthropods associated with pig carrion and human corpses in Campinas, in the state of São Paulo. Recently, forensic entomology was applied to estimate the postmortem interval (PMI) in homicide investigations by the Rio de Janeiro Police Department, Brasil [4].

  • Coleoptera from the Middle-Upper Eocene European Ambers: Generic Composition, Zoogeography and Climatic Implications

ALEKSEEV Department of Zootechny, Kaliningrad State Technical University, Sovetsky Avenue 1. 236000, Kaliningrad, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The paper contains a review of coleopteran genera known from Baltic, Bitterfeld and Rovno amber localities. Altogether 420 genera (191 extinct and 229 extant) from 78 families are listed from these three Lagerstätten (as of 7 March 2017). The listed beetles were analyzed zoogeographically and distributional maps for 72 genera were compiled. One-quarter (56) of the genera that have survived since the Eocene have cosmopolitan ranges at present; 35 extant genera have been extripated from the Palaearctic since the Eocene. Approximately 40% of beetle genera from the middle-upper Eocene Eu- ropean ambers can be encountered in the wild in present-day Europe, while 5 of these genera are supposed to be European relict endemics originating in Fennosarmatia. The general similarity of the Baltic amber (s.l.) beetle assemblage to modern south Palaearctic fauna is the strongest, the Nearctic elements are more numerous in the middle-upper Eocene European ambers than the Oriental taxa. The simplified Mutual Climatic Range (MCR) method was used for palaeoclimate recon- struction based on fossil beetles. The coleopteran assemblage of Baltic amber is interpreted as indicative of warm temper- ate, humid, equable climate with reduced thermal seasonality [annual average temperatures range from +10–20˚C; mean of the coldest month temperatures around +10˚C; mean of the hottest month temperature around +20–24˚C; annual pre- cipitation around 750–1500 mm].
