Forensic entomology can help to estimate the time elapsed since death by studying the necrophagous insects collected on a cadaver and its surroundings. In this paper forty eight species (369 specimens) are listed that belong to seven families: Silphidae (3 species), Staphylinidae (6 species), Histeridae (11 species), Anobiidae (4 species), Cleridae (6 species), Dermestidae (14 species), and Nitidulidae (4 species).

Palavras chave: Acritini, entomologia forense, histerídeo, matéria orgânica em decomposição, Paraná Introduction The species of the tribes Acritini and Abraeini (Abraeinae) are minute histerids with a wide geographic distribu- tion. They occur in decaying organic matter (such as plant detritus, litter, tree cavities, under bark, external debris of ants, in and under decaying seaweed, etc.) and usually prey on small invertebrates such as minute insects, mites and probably nematodes (Mazur 1997; 2005).

(Sapindales: Anacardiaceae) that fall on the forest floor or remain suspended on vegetation. Many wood-boring beetles also oviposit in these branches and larval development creates cavities that are abandoned when the adults emerge. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of wood-boring beetles as facilitators by creating new habitats for arthropods, and test for vertical stratification and temporal variation of arthropods associated with S. purpurea branches that were previously engineered by O. albomarginata chamela in a tropical dry forest (TDF) in Jalisco, Mexico. In order to determine the effects of vertical strata and seasons on branch colonization by arthropods, we placed 60 branches on the forest floor (ground stratum) and 60 were placed in trees (vegetation stratum) from February to April (dry season), and from August to October 2016 (rainy season), for 240 branch samples in total.

    © Entomologica Fennica. 27 .VIII.1991 Abundance and distribution of coprophilous Histerini (Histeridae) and Onthophagus and Aphodius (Scarabaeidae) in Finland (Coleoptera) Olof Bistrom, Hans Silfverberg & Ilpo Rutanen Bistrom, 0., Silfverberg, H. & Rutanen, I. 1991: Abundance and distribution of coprophilous Histerini (Histeridae) and Onthophagus and Aphodius (Scarabaeidae) in Finland (Coleoptera).- Entomol. Fennica 2:53-66. The distribution and occmTence, with the time-factor taken into consideration, were monitored in Finland for the mainly dung-living histerid genera Margarinotus, Hister, and Atholus (all predators), and for the Scarabaeidae genera Onthophagus and Aphodius, in which almost all species are dung-feeders. All available records from Finland of the 54 species studied were gathered and distribution maps based on the UTM grid are provided for each species with brief comments on the occmTence of the species today. Within the Histeridae the following species showed a decline in their occurrence: Margarinotus pwpurascens, M. neglectus, Hister funestus, H. bissexstriatus and Atholus bimaculatus, and within the Scarabaeidae: Onthophagus nuchicornis, 0. gibbulus, O.fracticornis, 0 . similis , Aphodius subterraneus, A. sphacelatus and A. merdarius. The four Onthophagus species and A. sphacelatus disappeared in the 1950s and 1960s and are at present probably extinct in Finland. Changes in the agricultural ecosystems, caused by different kinds of changes in the traditional husbandry, are suggested as a reason for the decline in the occuJTence of certain vulnerable species.

The Papuan fauna of Synchonnus Waterhouse, 1879 contains only four species distributed in Mysool, Japen, and New Guinea and is less diversifi ed than those of the continental Australia where 16 species have been recorded. Synchon- nus occurs in lowlands and in lower mountain forests. A new species, Synchonnus etheringtoni sp. nov., is described from New Guinea, and S. testaceithorax Pic, 1923 is redescribed. All Papuan species are keyed. Key words. Coleoptera, Lycidae, Synchonnus, taxonomy, new species, morpho- logy, key, New Guinea Introduction Papuan net-winged beetles are represented mostly by the subtribe Metriorrhynchina (Ly- cidae: Metriorrhynchini), and only a few other net-winged beetle tribes and subfamilies have been recorded in New Guinea and the adjacent islands (BOCAK & BOCAKOVA 2008; SKLENAROVA et al. 2013). Although the fi rst Papuan species were described already at the beginning of the 19th century by GUÉRIN-MÉNEVILLE (1830–1838) and further about two hundred species before the second world war (KLEINE 1926), the diversity of the Papuan net-winged beetle fauna has not been systematically studied except for a few genus restricted reviews (e.g., BOCAKOVA 1992, BOCEK & BOCAK 2016).

(type species: E. kapleri sp. nov.) from Malaysia, Sabah is described, and its taxonomic placement is discussed. The current concept of the phylogeny and classification of Histeridae is critically examined. Based on cladistic analysis of 50 taxa and 29 characters of adult Histeridae a new hypothesis of phylogeny of the family is presented. In the concordance with the proposed phylogeny, the family is divided into three groups: Niponiomorphae (incl. Niponiinae), Abraeomorphae and Histeromorphae. The Abraeomorphae includes: Abraeinae, Saprininae, Dendrophilinae and Trypanaeinae. The Histeromorphae is divided into 4 subfamilies: Histerinae, Onthophilinae, Chlamydopsinae and Hetaeriinae.

  • Agathidium Vaderi MILLER & WHEELER, 2005

Beitr. 52/2 1099-1104 Februar 2021 Agathidium vaderi MILLER & WHEELER, 2005 (Coleoptera, Leiodidae) – Ein wissenschaftlicher Artname im Spannungsfeld der Zoologie, der Ethnologie und der Populärkultur Georg SCHIFKO A b s t r a c t : In recent times, names related to popular culture have increasingly been given to new discovered species. This article deals with the Agathidium vaderi beetle named in 2005 by Kelly B. Miller and Quentin D. Wheeler after the fictional character Darth Vader due to the postulated similarity of the beetle's head with Darth Vader's helmet which is ultimately based on Japanese Samurai helmet designs. Additionally, attention is drawn to the the mutual benefits available to the taxonomy as well as for the films in the Star Wars series due to the unconventual species name. Key Words: Agathidium vaderi, Star Wars, Japanese helmets, Taxonomy, Nomenclature Einleitung Im Japanischen wird der zur Familie der Blatthornkäfer (Scarabaeidae) gehörende Allomyrina dichotoma (LINNAEUS, 1771) als kabutomushi bezeichnet, was soviel wie "Helminsekt" (kabuto = Helm, mushi = Insekt) bedeutet und eine Anspielung auf japanische Samuraihelme darstellt. A. dichotoma bildet im Land der aufgehenden Sonne einen fest verankerten Bestandteil der Populärkultur und man lässt dort Männchen dieser Spezies gegeneinander kämpfen. In den Wettbewerben geht es darum, wessen Käfer die schwerste Last ziehen kann und um Spiele, bei denen man die Käfermännchen dazu bringt um ein Stück Wassermelone zu kämpfen (LAURENT 2001: 70) – somit "eine Insekten- version des Sumo-Ringens" (HERZOG 2012: 57).

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract Increasing forest management resulting from bark beetle attack in British Columbia's forests has created a need to assess the impact of single species management on local insect biodiversity. In the Fort St James Forest District, in central British Columbia, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Franco) (Fd) grows at the northern limit of its North American range. At the district level the species is rare (representing 1% of timber stands), and in the early 1990's growing populations of the Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsuage Hopkins) threatened the loss of all mature Douglas-fir habitat in the district.

  • Conspicuousness, Phylogenetic Structure, and Origins of Müllerian
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Conspicuousness, phylogenetic structure, and origins of Müllerian mimicry in 4000 lycid beetles from all zoogeographic regions Michal Motyka1, Dominik Kusy1, Michal Masek1, Matej Bocek1, Yun Li1, R. Bilkova1, Josef Kapitán2, Takashi Yagi3 & Ladislav Bocak1* Biologists have reported on the chemical defences and the phenetic similarity of net-winged beetles (Coleoptera: Lycidae) and their co-mimics. Nevertheless, our knowledge has remained fragmental, and the evolution of mimetic patterns has not been studied in the phylogenetic context. We illustrate the general appearance of ~ 600 lycid species and ~ 200 co-mimics and their distribution. Further, we assemble the phylogeny using the transcriptomic backbone and ~ 570 species. Using phylogenetic information, we closely scrutinise the relationships among aposematically coloured species, the worldwide diversity, and the distribution of aposematic patterns. The emitted visual signals difer in conspicuousness. The uniform coloured dorsum is ancestral and was followed by the evolution of bicoloured forms. The mottled patterns, i.e. fasciate, striate, punctate, and reticulate, originated later in the course of evolution. The highest number of sympatrically occurring patterns was recovered in New Guinea and the Andean mountain ecosystems (the areas of the highest abundance), and in continental South East Asia (an area of moderate abundance but high in phylogenetic diversity). Consequently, a large number of co-existing aposematic patterns in a single region and/or locality is the rule, in contrast with the theoretical prediction, and predators do not face a simple model-like choice but cope with complex mimetic communities. Lycids display an ancestral aposematic signal even though they sympatrically occur with diferently coloured unproftable relatives.
