El presente trabajo incluye una breve compilación acerca de la historia de la familia y de las primeras expediciones realizadas en Chile. También se realizan comparaciones de la diversidad de carábidos chilenos con respecto a otros países y el N eotrópico. Para Chile, se conocen 21 tribus, con 95 géneros y 365 especies, que representan el 38,8, 28,8 y 7,9% de la fauna del Neotrópico, respectivamente. Chile posee un bajo número de tribus comparado con otros países, sin embargo, constituye un área importante por la presencia de seis tribus relictuales, principalmente pangeicas o gondwánicas. Chile posee 18 géneros endémicos (18,5 % de su fauna de Carabidae), 28 cuya distribución está restringida a Chile y Argentina y seis restringidos a Chile, Argentina y Uruguay. La cantidad de especies presentes en Chile es inferior a la que poseen otros países de América del Sur, pero la cantidad de especies endémicas es muy alta (204) y representa el55,8% de su fauna de carábidos. El alto grado de endemismo que posee Chile con respecto a otros países de América del Sur puede deberse a su condición de aislamiento, siendo las barreras más importantes la región desértica del norte y la cordillera de Los Andes. Este hecho también se vislumbra por la ausencia de importantes tribus neo tropicales como Galeritini, Scaritini y Brachinini. También se incluyen en este trabajo claves para la identificación de todas las tribus y géneros presentes en Chile, como así también una breve descripción acerca de la diversidad y ambientes en los que se encuentra cada género. Palabras clave: Carabidae, Chile, diversidad, taxa endémicos. ABSTRACT The family Carabidae is the fourth largest Coleoptera family in Chile. The present work includes a brief compilation on the taxonomic history of the family and the first expeditions to Chile. In addition, knowledge of carabid diversity in Chile is compared with that of the Neotropics and other South American countries. There are 21 tri bes of Carabidae represented in Chile (38.8% of the total found in Neotropics), with 95 genera (28.2% of the Neotropical fauna), and 365 species (7 .9 % of the total from the Neotropics). Chile has a low number of tri bes compared with other countries, but it is an important area because six relictual tri bes occur within it, being mostly gondwanan or pangeic. At the generic leve!, 18 genera are endemic ( 18.5% ofChilean genera), 28 genera are restricted to Chile andArgentina, and six to Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. The numberof carabid species in Chile is low compared with other South American countries, but the number of endemic species is high, 204, which is 55.8% of the total carabid fauna of the country. This high endemicity in Chile might be dueto Chile's isolated situation in South America. The Andean mountains and the Northern Desert region, separate Chile from most of the neotropical fauna, as is shown by the absence of important tri bes such as the Galeritini, Scaritini, and Brachinini. Keys for all genera present in Chile are provided, with a brief description of habitat and species richness of each. Key words: Carabidae, Chile, diversity, endemic taxa.

  • 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.

TOGNELLI * [email protected] ABSTRACT Baripus Dejean is a genus of the family Carabidae restricted to southern South America. Three subgenera are recognized within the genus; one of them, Cardiophthalmus Curtis, is endemic to the Patagonian Steppe. Together with the members of the genus Cnemalobus Guérin-Ménéville, these beetles are the largest Carabidae of the Patagonian Steppe. New studies in the northern region of Patagonia, the Payunia, reveal the presence of two new species, Baripus (Cardiophthalmus) nevado, new species, and Baripus (Cardiophthalmus) precordillera, new species, restricted to isolated montane habitats. In this paper, we provide morphological descriptions of the new taxa with illustrations of male and female genitalia. We also conducted a phylogenetic analysis including all known species of Baripus. The cladistic analysis showed that B. (C.) mendozensis, B. (C.) nevado and B. (C) precordillera constitutes a monophyletic group of species. These three species are allopatric, but B. (C.) mendozensis and B. (C.) nevado ranges are in close proximity.

The fauna of Carabidae in Azarbaijan, Iran, is very diverse and has not been studied thoroughly. In the following paper, this group of beneficial predators is studied, using samples taken through 2007–2010 across Azarbaijan. Species belonging to 12 subfamilies were collected from 24 different localities. Among this diverse fauna, 3 species, Broscus cephalotes (Linnaeus, 1758), Harpalus (Pseudoophonus) calceatus (Duftschmid, 1812), and Amara (Xenocelia) ingenua Duftschmid, 1812 are new records for Iranian fauna.

MAKAR.ow* A key to the genera of the Ground-beetle larvae (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of the Palearctic region INTRODUCTION It is necessary to use the data about the preimaginal stages, especially lar­ vae, forthe successful decision of many taxonomic and ecological questions, but it's rather difficult, because of the little knowledge on the larvae biology and morphology as well as the absence of modern identification keys. So, van Emden's monograph (1942) appears hitherto the most complete generalizing work. The available keys for the USSR (Sharova, 1958, 1964) and Middle Europe carabid larvae (Hurka, 1978; Arndt, 1991) do not contain a number of larval descriptions, published from 1942-1991. Besides, the finemorphologi­ cal investigations ofY. Bousquet and H. Goulet (Goulet, 1979; Bousquet and Goulet, 1984) produced on new opportunities forlarval descriptions. Unfor­ tunately, this method is currently poorly used (Arndt, 1989a, b; Arndt and Hurka, 1990; Bousquet, 1985a, b; 1986; Hurka, 1986; Makarow and Shilenkov, 1991 etc.) and can not be considered as a basis of the practical keys. The present work contains a key for determination of the main Palearctic carabid groups and takes into account most of the works that followed van Emden's monograph.

Six carabid species (three endemic) were recorded from pitfall traps in kiwifruit orchards. Five of the species are typical of a wide range of modified habitats including home gardens, cultivated fields and pasture. The most abundant carabid was the adventive species Lecanomerus vestigialis. Seven endemic species were captured in pitfall traps in native forest next to kiwifruit orchards. The most abundant species were the medium sized species Mecodema curvidens and Holcaspis ?sinuiventris. One of the seven endemic species, Neocicindela spilleri, also occurred in kiwifruit orchards. Introduction Carabids are a well-collected group and often used as indicators of habitat modification. In New Zealand, the development of production landscapes at the expense of native forests has probably led to a decline in the range and abundance of native carabids (McGuinness 2007). From a conservation point of view, knowing what native and endemic carabid species still persist in the remaining fragments of native forest and other vegetation, and whether the production landscape is also a habitat for them, is important.

  • Carabid Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Collected from Different Ecosystems in Iran with New Records
    Türk. entomol. derg., 2010, 34 (2): 179-195 ISSN 1010-6960 Orijinal araştırma (Original article) Carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) collected from different ecosystems in Iran with new records Hassan GHAHARI1 Sakine Serap AVGIN2* Hadi OSTOVAN3 Summary The Carabidae (Coleoptera) of apple orchards and alfalfa fields in seventeen agricultural sites of ten provinces of Iran have been investigated. 43 species/subspecies collected from these regions have been listed. Seven of the species are new records for Iran and two species are second find for the Palaearctic Region. The geographical distribution and chorotype data are given for all species. Key words: Coleoptera, Carabidae, new records, Iran Anahtar sözcükler: Coleoptera, Carabidae, yeni kayıtlar, İran Introduction The significance of the Carabid beetles in both natural and artificial terrestrial biocoenosis is considerable. Most of them are predators on other invertebrates, particularly of arthropods and mollusks. They are important entomophages in anthropocoenosis, where they form a considerable portion of the local community (Hurka, 1996). Even in natural biocoenosis, thanks to their diversity and abundance, the Carabidae plays an important role in keeping the balance, as well as in the energy and matter exchange. This is the main reason why they are used for many years as a model group for various studies, particularly in ecology (Hurka, 1996). 1 Department of Agriculture, Islamic Azad University, Shahre Rey Branch, Tehran, Iran 2 Osmaniye Korkut Ata University, Art and Science Faculty, Department of Biology, 80000, Osmaniye, Turkey 3 Department of Entomology, Islamic Azad University, Fars Science and Research Branch, Iran * Sorumlu yazar (Corresponding author) e-mail: [email protected] Alınış (Received): 01.09.2009 Kabul ediliş (Accepted): 24.10.2009 179 There are few studies devoted on the Carabidae of Iran.

The study site included two stations (T1, T2). From November 2016 to October 2017, the carabidofauna was sampled fortnightly using pitfall traps. The structure and diversity of the beetle community were measured using nonparametric indices, i.e. species richness, diversity indices, accumulation curves, and similarity analysis. Generalized linear mixed effects models (GLMM) were applied to examine the spatiotemporal variation of species abundance, and to test the effects of edaphic variables and vegetation cover on the variation of beetle abundance and species richness. In total, 1121 individuals were caught, belonging to 42 species, 24 genera, and 12 subfamilies; most of the species belonged to the subfamily Harpalinae (33.33%).
