DMITRY TELNOV Rgas rajons, Stopiu novads, Dzidrias, Drza iela 10, LV-2130 Latvia; e-mail: [email protected] TELNOV D., 2007. NOMENCLATURAL NOTES ON ANTHICIDAE AND PYROCHROIDAE (COLEOPTERA). 2. - Latvijas entomologs 44: 31-44. Abstract: Taxonomic studies of the beetles of the families Anthicidae by early authors were often not accurate. In the second work of the series, additional nomenclatural problems are solved, namely 26 new combinations, 23 new synonymies, two revised statuses, 3 new statuses for subspecific names, and 4 lectotype designations. Three unavailable names of Anthicidae are listed. New data on distribution of insufficiently known palaearctic species of Pedilus (Pyrochroidae: Pedilinae) are given. Key words: Coleoptera, Anthicidae, Pyrochroidae, Pedilus, nomenclature, new synonymy, new combinations, lectotype designation, faunal information.

  • The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution
    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

IVIE Department of Entomology Montana State University Bozeman, MT 59717 1Current address: Section of Invertebrate Zoology, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, 4400 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15213. ABSTRACT Eight species in two subfamilies of Anthicidae are known from the Virgin Islands: Neoeurygenius portoricensis Abdullah (Eurygeniinae); Anthicus antilleorum Werner, A. crinitus LaFerté-Sénectère, A. floralis (Linneaus), A. tobias Marseul, Vacusus vici- nus (LaFerté-Sénectère), Sapintus teapensis (Champion), and Acanthinus trifasciatus (Fabricius) (Anthicinae).In addition to a key to these species, each is diagnosed and il- lustrated, and the Virgin Islands distribution given. The biogeographical composition of the fauna is discussed. A key to the subfamilies and tribes of West Indian anthicids is provided. RESUMEN Existen ocho especies en tres subfamilias de Anthicidae en las Islas Vírgenes: Neoeurygenius portoricencis Abdullah (Eurygeniinae); Anthicus antilleorum Werner, A. crinitus LaFerté-Sénectère A. floralis (Linnaeus), A. tobias Marseul, Vacusus vici- nus (LaFerté-Sénectère), Sapintus teapensis (Champion), y Acanthinus trifasciatus (Fabricius) (Anthicinae). Además de las claves para la identificación de estas especies, cada una es diagnósticada e ilustrada. Se incluye la distribución de las especies en las Islas Vírgenes. Se discute la composición biogeográfica de la fauna. Se ofrece una clave para las subfamilias y tribus de los Anthicidae de las Antillas. The Virgin Islands are located at the eastern extreme of the Greater Antilles. The northern islands lie on the submerged Puerto Rican Bank, while St. Croix and its sat- ellite islands are separated by a deep trench from the northern islands (Heatwole & MacKenzie 1966).

  • 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.

K. SYDENHAM, KATRINE ELDEGARD & STEIN R. MOE Steinert, M., Sydenham, M.A.K., Eldegard, K. & Moe, S.R. 2018. New records of Cleopomiarus distinctus Boheman, 1845 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) and Stricticollis tobias Marseul, 1879 (Coleoptera, Anthicidae) from Norway. Norwegian Journal of Entomology 65, 175–182. Two new beetle species for Norway were recorded from field surveys in power-line clearings located in predominantly forested areas in Southeastern Norway; Cleopomiarus distinctus Boheman, 1845 (Curculionidae), and Stricticollis tobias Marseul, 1879 (Anthicidae). A total of 81 specimens of the weevil C. distinctus, were found across four sites in Buskerud over the course of three years (2013–2015). C. distinctus has never been recorded in Scandinavia previously. Three specimens of the ant-like flower beetle S. tobias, were found at two sites in Hedmark in 2015. S. tobias has a wide distribution in other Nordic countries and has been recognized as a “doorstep-species” to Norway from Sweden. The biology of the two species are presented and the potential distribution of the species are discussed.

  • A Key to the Anthicidae of Hawaii, with One New Species (Coleoptera) L
    310 Proceedings, Hawaiian Entomological Society A Key to the Anthicidae of Hawaii, with One New Species (Coleoptera) l Floyd G. Werner DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, TUCSON, ARIZONA Eight species of Anthicidae have been collected in the Hawaiian Islands, but only one of these on islands other than Oahu. Three species are cosmopolitan, two North American, and two Micronesian. The eighth, described as new, is of unknown origin and most likely belongs to the Oriental or East Indian faunas which are badly in need of revisionary work. It was compared with specimens in the British Museum in 1960, and E. T. Smith, of Melbourne, compared it with the Australian fauna. I describe it as new in hope that someone will recognize it as a member of the fauna he is studying, just as Anthicus mundulus Sharp, described from Honolulu, eventually proved a member of the fauna of coastal California. Most of the specimens reported here are from the collection of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association, kindly sent for study by J. W. Beardsley. The specimens have been returned to this collection unless another source is indicated. Key to Species 1. Each elytron with a distinct pale spot or band behind the middle. 2 Elytra uniformly colored or paler across the base, without a spot or band behind the middle 5 2. Pubescence on elytra dense and double, of decumbent setae directed backward and more numerous fine, short setae beneath them, directed obliquely laterally, in addition to scattered suberect tactile setae. Each elytron with a pale spot behind the base and another behind the middle, the basal spots sometimes con nected across the suture.

A total of 30 families Accepted 30 December 2015 from Spain and 16 families from France have been identified (with almost twice bioinclusions identified Available online 16 January 2016 in Spain than in France); 13 of these families have their most ancient representatives within these ambers. A similar study had previously only been performed on Lebanese ambers (Barremian in age and Keywords: Beetle Gondwanan in origin), recording 36 coleopteran families. Few lists of taxa were available for Myanmar Fossil (Burmese) amber (early Cenomanian in age and Laurasian in origin).

Young: Field Records and Observations of Insects Associated With Canthar 1984 THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST 195 FIELD RECORDS AND OBSERVATIONS OF INSECTS ASSOCIATED WITH CANTHARIDIN Daniel K. Young! ABSTRACT This paper reports on insect species not previously associated with cantharidin, the terpeooid defense mechanism of blister beetles (MeJoidae). Species from the following tau were obserYed and collected: Miridae (Hemiptera); Endomychidae, Pyrochroidae, .-\nthiLidae I Coleoptera); Ceratopogonidae, Sciaridae (Diptera); and Braconidae (Hymen­ optera;. In addition to listing the associations, a discussion of cantharidin orientation is presented along with preliminary hypotheses to explain these intriguing examples of coevolution . .-\ recent re,'jew (Young 1984) attempted to draw together all published associations between insect5 and cantharidin or the me10id beetles which are known to produce the compound. In this paper, a large number of insect-cantharidin records are reported for specie:; 1lL"'i previously associated with cantharidin.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
