ZooKeys 362: 29–54. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.362.6300 Abstract The Western Hemisphere genus Pseudomorpha Kirby 1825 was last revised by Notman in 1925 based on only a few known species (22) and paltry few specimens (73); other authors have added an additional six species represented by 53 additional specimens since 1925. Baehr (1997) assigned three species from Australia to this genus, albeit in a new subgenus, Austropseudomorpha Baehr 1997. A recent study of col- lections from throughout the Americas (1757 specimens) has revealed numerous new species that can be arrayed across 19 species groups based on a suite of attributes, some used by Notman and others newly discovered.

  • 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.

Abstract – Ground-dwelling beetles were sampled by pitfall traps at 304 quadrats positioned to represent the geomorphic extent and profi le of the Pilbara Region, a semi-tropical arid region in north-west Western Australia. For each quadrat, 47 climatic, soil, landform, geological and vegetation attributes were determined. A total of 429 taxa across the Bolboceratidae, Carabidae, Hybosoridae, Scarabaeidae and Tenebrionidae were identifi ed, of which 68% could not be assigned to currently recognised species. Species richness ranged from 1 to 36 species per quadrat, with an average of 11.6±5.9 species (n = 296 quadrats). Species recorded at one quadrat only (‘singletons’) constituted 33% of the fauna and were collected mainly from areas near the edge of the region or were associated with the Fortescue subregion; they included 36% of the Bolboceratidae (8 species), 32% of the Carabidae (72 species), 33% of the Hybosoridae (2 species), 46% of the Scarabaeidae (45 species) and 22% of the Tenebrionidae (17 species). Those from the region’s edge may have their distributions centred elsewhere, while singletons from the Fortescue subregion may be restricted to marsh habitats that are rare elsewhere in the region.

  • Coleoptera: Carabidae)
    Koleopterologische Rundschau 74 25-31 Wien, Juni 2004 A peculiar new species of the genus Sphallomorpha WESTWOOD from New Guinea (Coleoptera: Carabidae) M. BAEHR Abstract As a further supplement to the general revision of the Australian-New Guinean carabid subfamily Pseudomorphinae (Coleoptera: Carabidae) the new species Sphallomorpha oculata is described from western New Guinea. The new species belongs to a separate, new species-group (in the sense of the revision) of uncertain relationships and is distinguished at once by the striking pattern of two conspicuous circular reddish elytral spots. Key words: Coleoptera, Carabidae, Pseudomorphinae, Sphallomorpha, New Guinea, taxonomy, new species. Introduction Within a sample of Carabidae from the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien sent for identification, I discovered a single specimen of a striking new species of the pseudomorphine genus Sphallomorpha WESTWOOD that is described herein. This description is regarded a further supplement to the general revision of the Australian-Oriental species of the carabid subfamily Pseudomorphinae (BAEHR 1992, 1993a, b, 1994b, 1997,2002). Pseudomorphinae is a subfamily containing strange looking dytisciform or scolytiform carabid beetles of still doubtful relationships which are mainly distributed throughout Australia, but also occur in New Guinea, the southern part of the Oriental region, South Africa, and South and Central America including the southern margin of North America. At the present state of knowledge, the subfamily includes six genera of which

  • Estimates of Arthropod Species Richness in Australia
    NEW ESTIMATES FOR TERRESTRIAL ARTHROPOD SPECIES-RICHNESS IN AUSTRALIA D. K. YEATES, M. S. HARVEY & A. D. AUSTIN YEATES, D. K., HARVEY, M. S. & AUSTIN, A. D. 2003. New estimates for terrestrial arthropod species-richness in Australia. Records of the South Australian Museum Monograph Series No. 7: 231–241. Australia makes up a little under 6% of the total landmass of earth, but its biota is a large and unique component of the biosphere. Arthropods, particularly insects, dominate terrestrial ecosystems, and the Australian land arthropod fauna is no exception. In comparison to the vertebrates and angiosperms, the arthropod fauna of Australia is poorly known. Commonly cited estimates of insect species-richness refer to the number of described and undescribed species held in collections. Given the size of the continent, the paucity of sampling and survey work in all but the east coast and south west, and the narrow endemism displayed by many taxa, these estimates are at best very conservative. We have surveyed the literature and canvassed taxonomic experts to derive a new estimate of the number of terrestrial arthropod species in Australia of 253 000, with almost 205 000 of these being insects. Estimating total species richness for very diverse groups is difficult, and we rely on a poll of experts and a method that extrapolates from the rate of species discovery from recent taxonomic research. The largest components of terrestrial arthropod species richness are in the Araneae (spiders), Acari (mites) and the five largest insect orders: Hemiptera (true bugs), Hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants), Diptera (flies), Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) and Coleoptera (beetles).

Sims Department of Entomology Smithsonian Institution Washington, D.C. 20560 U. S. A. Quaestiones Entomologicae 20:351-466 1984 ABSTRACT The fauna of the Greater Antilles was extensively sampled and studied by P.J. Darlington, Jr., beginning with his early field trips there in 1934 and ending with his paper on tropical island carabids in 1970. The Lesser Antilles and Bahamas have had far less attention; most islands have not yet been sampled. The following tribes are recorded within the geographic area covered by the present study, which includes the Greater and Lesser Antilles, Bahamas, and most smaller islands not on the continental shelf: Carabini; Megacephalini; "Cicindelini; Enceladini; Pseudomorphini; Scaritini; "Clivinini; Ozaenini; Brachinini; 'Rhysodini; Trechini; Pogonini; "Bembidiini; Morionini; *Pterostichini; Panagaeini; Callistini; Oodini; Licinini; 'Harpalini; Ctenodactylini; Perigonini; Lachnophorini; Cyclosomini; Masoreini; Pentagonicini; Odacanthini; 'Lebiini; *Zuphiini; Galeritini. The tribes whose names are marked with an asterisk each have more than a dozen species thus far recorded from the West Indies. The tribes which occur in this area are also extensively distributed in the world, and are well represented in the Neotropical Region.

WWW.BROOKES.AC.UK/GO/RADAR Taxonomy, Systematics and Biogeography of the Scaritinae (Insecta, Coleoptera, Carabidae) James Edward Hogan Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the award of Doctor of Philosophy Oxford Brookes University December 2012 Abstract Scaritinae are a subfamily of ground beetles (Carabidae), containing about 1900 species and 125 genera. They share a distinctive body shape linked to a burrowing lifestyle. The diversity of Scaritinae is concentrated in the tropics and warmer regions of the southern hemisphere, particularly Southern Africa, Madagascar and Australia. The evolutionary history (phylogeny) of scaritines is unknown, leading to conflicting classification schemes and uncertainty over the definition of genera, especially in one sub- group of scaritines, the tribe Scaritini. In particular, it is unclear whether Scaritinae are descended from a common ancestor (monophyletic) or whether they are an artificial group defined by convergent adaptations to burrowing.

The key to the species of Cryptocephalomorpha in BAEHR (1997) is updated to in- clude the new species. Two additional records of the unique African pseudomorphine species, Cryptocephalomor- pha genieri Baehr, 1997 are communicated from Botswana and Zambia. They corroborate the occurrence of this species in central southern Africa. K e y w o r d s : Coleoptera, Carabidae, Cryptocephalomorpha, new species, Asia, Africa.
