  • Mitochondrial Genomes Resolve the Phylogeny of Adephaga
    1 Mitochondrial genomes resolve the phylogeny 2 of Adephaga (Coleoptera) and confirm tiger 3 beetles (Cicindelidae) as an independent family 4 Alejandro López-López1,2,3 and Alfried P. Vogler1,2 5 1: Department of Life Sciences, Natural History Museum, London SW7 5BD, UK 6 2: Department of Life Sciences, Silwood Park Campus, Imperial College London, Ascot SL5 7PY, UK 7 3: Departamento de Zoología y Antropología Física, Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidad de Murcia, Campus 8 Mare Nostrum, 30100, Murcia, Spain 9 10 Corresponding author: Alejandro López-López ([email protected]) 11 12 Abstract 13 The beetle suborder Adephaga consists of several aquatic (‘Hydradephaga’) and terrestrial 14 (‘Geadephaga’) families whose relationships remain poorly known. In particular, the position 15 of Cicindelidae (tiger beetles) appears problematic, as recent studies have found them either 16 within the Hydradephaga based on mitogenomes, or together with several unlikely relatives 17 in Geadeadephaga based on 18S rRNA genes. We newly sequenced nine mitogenomes of 18 representatives of Cicindelidae and three ground beetles (Carabidae), and conducted 19 phylogenetic analyses together with 29 existing mitogenomes of Adephaga. Our results 20 support a basal split of Geadephaga and Hydradephaga, and reveal Cicindelidae, together 21 with Trachypachidae, as sister to all other Geadephaga, supporting their status as Family. We 22 show that alternative arrangements of basal adephagan relationships coincide with increased 23 rates of evolutionary change and with nucleotide compositional bias, but these confounding 24 factors were overcome by the CAT-Poisson model of PhyloBayes. The mitogenome + 18S 25 rRNA combined matrix supports the same topology only after removal of the hypervariable 26 expansion segments.

  • The Mitochondrial Genome of Amara Aulica (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Harpalinae) and Insights Into the Phylogeny of Ground Beetles
    Article The Mitochondrial Genome of Amara aulica (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Harpalinae) and Insights into the Phylogeny of Ground Beetles Zhenya Li 1, Xinxin Li 1, Nan Song 1,*, Huiji Tang 2 and Xinming Yin 1 1 College of Plant Protection, Henan Agricultural University, Zhengzhou 450002, China 2 Technical Center, Zhengzhou Customs District, Zhengzhou 450002, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 31 December 2019; Accepted: 6 February 2020; Published: 9 February 2020 Abstract: Carabidae are one of the most species-rich families of beetles, comprising more than 40,000 described species worldwide. Forty-three complete or partial mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) from this family have been published in GenBank to date. In this study, we sequenced a nearly complete mitogenome of Amara aulica (Carabidae), using a next-generation sequencing method. This mitogenome was 16,646 bp in length, which encoded the typical 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a putative control region. Combining with the published mitogenomes of Carabidae and five outgroup species from Trachypachidae, Gyrinidae and Dytiscidae, we performed phylogenetic estimates under maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference criteria to investigate the phylogenetic relationships of carabid beetles. The results showed that the family Carabidae was a non- monophyletic assemblage. The subfamilies Cicindelinae, Elaphrinae, Carabinae, Trechinae and Harpalinae were recovered as monophyletic groups. Moreover, the clade (Trechinae + (Brachininae + Harpalinae)) was consistently recovered in all analyses. Keywords: ground beetle; mitogenome; next-generation sequencing; phylogeny 1. Introduction The Carabidae, also known as carabid beetles or ground beetles, are among the most species- rich families in Caraboidea. They currently comprise more than 40,000 described species worldwide, which can be classified into 16 subfamilies [1] and 86 tribes [2–4].

  • The Arboreal Tiger Beetles of Sri Lanka
    J.Natn.Sci.Foundation Sri Lanka 2018 46 (3): 241-252 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4038/jnsfsr.v46i3.8477 REVIEW ARTICLE The forgotten tigers: the arboreal tiger beetles of Sri Lanka Chandima Deepani Dangalle* Department of Zoology and Environment Sciences, Faculty of Science, University of Colombo, Colombo 03. Revised: 7 March 2018; Accepted: 25 May 2018 Summary: Thirty-one species of arboreal tiger beetles are 2,822 species of 120 genera that are included into five known to occur in Sri Lanka of which twenty-five species tribes – Amblycheilini, Manticorini, Megacephalini, are stated to be endemic. However, the group has not been Collyridini and Cicindelini (Ball et al., 2011; Roza & studied for more than a century and the last organised records Mermudes, 2017). Two tribes are found in Sri Lanka; are provided by Fowler (1912) in his studies of the ‘Fauna of Cicindelini, consisting of ground dwelling tiger beetles, British India including Ceylon and Burma (Coleoptera General and Collyridini consisting of arboreal tiger beetles. Introduction and Cicindelidae and Paussidae)’. Due to high endemicity rates, biodiversity value and current disturbances Forty species of ground dwelling tiger beetles of which and destruction to natural forests of the country, which are the fourteen species are potentially endemic and thirty-one main habitat types of the arboreal tiger beetles, it is important species of arboreal tiger beetles of which twenty-five are that this insect group be thoroughly studied. Therefore, a study potentially endemic were found on the island (Tennent, was initiated on the ‘Diversity, distribution and habitat types of 1860; Horn, 1904; Fowler, 1912; Naviaux, 1984; 1986; arboreal tiger beetles (Coleoptera, Cicindelinae) of Sri Lanka’, 1995; Acciavatti & Pearson, 1989).

Bell. The program presentations, organized by Professor John Spence, include among renowned coleopterists many of Professor Bell’s former students, associates, and former student’s students. Indeed the Bell phylogeny is deep and highly branched! We are pleased that you have chosen to come to beautiful Burlington for what promises to be a memorable event to honour Ross and Joyce Bell, who have been Vermonters for more than sixty years. Professor Bell has distinguished himself throughout his long and illustrious academic career at the University of Vermont. We are proud that our beloved institution has served as the Bells’ research quarters since 1955, with no signs of abating. Professor Bell’s extraordinary scholarship, careful and dedicated work, and passion for ‘the beetle’ has influenced and inspired many. Together with Joyce, his tireless lifelong companion, Ross has traveled the world in search of elusive and exotic beetles. He has discovered species worldwide, produced taxonomic revisions and field guides, published numerous scientific papers, contributed significantly to our understanding of the natural history of northern New England and made expert contributions to the Tree of Life web project.

  • Arboreal Tiger Beetles Recorded from Lowland Crop Cultivations in Sri Lanka
    The Journal of Agricultural Sciences - Sri Lanka Vol 16, No. 1, January, 2021. Pp 135-142 http://doi.org/10.4038/jas.v16i1.9191 SHORT COMMUNICATION Arboreal Tiger Beetles Recorded from Lowland Crop Cultivations in Sri Lanka D.L. Abeywardhana1, C.D. Dangalle1* and Y.W. Mallawarachchi2 Date Received: 30th December 2019 / Date Accepted: 17th July 2020 ABSTRACT Purpose : Thirty-one species of arboreal tiger beetles are known from Sri Lanka of which 25 species are endemic. However, their habitat types are poorly documented and the available records are far outdated. Therefore, a survey of tiger beetles was carried out to determine their present occurrence with emphasis on agricultural habitat types. Research Method : Forty-six locations of the country, covering eighteen districts, all provinces, representing a majority of bioclimatic zones except those in Montane Sri Lanka were surveyed for arboreal tiger beetles. Sampling was conducted using the visual encounter method. Collected beetles were identified using taxonomic keys and descriptions. Findings : Eight species of arboreal tiger beetles were collected from the survey. Majority of the species (06) were collected from crop cultivations of coconut and also from tea, fruit farms, betel leaf, cinnamon and pepper. Four species of Derocrania and two species of Tricondyla were recorded from the cultivations and all had fused elytra and hence unable to fly. Derocrania scitiscabra was the dominant arboreal tiger beetle species in the crop cultivations. Originality/ Value : The study documents hitherto unrecorded habitat types for a poorly documented important beetle group of Sri Lanka. It further provides information for future research on the possibility of using arboreal tiger beetles as bio-control agents of insect pests of agricultural crops.

Geoff Williams1 and Paul Adam2 1Lorien Wildlife Refuge and Conservation Area, Lansdowne via Taree, NSW 2430. Honorary Research Associate, Australian Museum, College Street, Sydney, NSW 2000 AUSTRALIA. 2School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Science, University of New South Wales, Kensington, NSW 2052 AUSTRALIA. Abstract: Insects visiting flowering trees of Syzygium floribundum, Syzygium smithii and Tristaniopsis laurina (Myrtaceae) were recorded in lowland subtropical rainforest communities in the Manning Valley, mid-north coast of New South Wales. These species are visited by a taxonomically broad assemblage of insects, many of which are known to frequent other rainforest- and open forest- flowering plant species. Consequently there is likely to be a regional pool of potential pollinators found throughout the range of each plant. Key Words: Syzygium floribundum, Syzygium smithii, Tristaniopsis laurina, Myrtaceae, endangered ecological communities, subtropical rainforest, wet sclerophyll forest, pollination, anthophilous insects, Myrtle rust, Austropuccinia psidii, extinction events.
