Vaz-de-Mello & Mario Cupello Vaz-de-Mello, F. Z. & Cupello, M. 2018. The type specimens of South American dung beetles. Part I: On the species described in the genus Canthon Hoffmannsegg, 1817 by the German entomologist Adolf Schmidt (1856-1923) (Coleoptera, Scara- baeidae, Scarabaeinae). Spixiana 41 (1): 33-76. The present work represents the first part of a series of papers studying the type material of the New World Scarabaeinae deposited in all major museums of the world. The main goals of this series are to locate the whereabouts of those types, designate, when appropriate, lectotypes and neotypes, and illustrate those speci- mens and their labels so that it will be possible for anyone interested to identify species already described and recognize new ones. As a start to this series, we present information on and illustrate the type material of the nominal species- group taxa proposed by the German entomologist Adolf Schmidt in the genus Canthon Hoffmannsegg, 1817, in two papers published in 1920 and 1922. Deposited in five European museums (Berlin, Dresden, Müncheberg, Brussels, and Stock- holm), we were able to find the type specimens of all but one of the 51 names firstly established as new species or new varieties by Schmidt. Of these 50 names, we designate lectotypes for 38. Schmidt also proposed three nominal species in Canthon as replacement names – C.

BELLOTTI3 AND AART VAN SCHOONHOVEN3 1Vegetales Orgánicos C.T.A. 2Departmento de Biología, Universidad del Valle, Apartado Aéreo 25360, Cali, Colombia 3Parque Científico Agronatura, CIAT, Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical Apartado Aéreo, 6713 Cali, Colombia ABSTRACT The larvae of some species of Scarabaeidae, known locally as “chisas” (whitegrubs), are impor- tant pests in agricultural areas of the Cauca, Colombia. They form a complex consisting of many species belonging to several genera that affect the roots of commercial crops. The objec- tive of the present study was to identify the members of the complex present in two localities (Caldono and Buenos Aires) and collect basic information on their biology, economic impor- tance, and larval morphology. The first of two types of sampling involved sampling adults in light traps installed weekly throughout one year. The second method involved larval collec- tions in plots of cassava, pasture, coffee, and woodland. Each locality was visited once per month and 10 samples per plot were collected on each occasion, with each sample from a quad- rants 1 m2 by 15 cm deep, during 1999-2000. Light traps collected 12,512 adults belonging to 45 species and 21 genera of Scarabaeidae within the subfamilies Dynastinae, Melolonthinae, and Rutelinae. Members of the subfamily Dynastinae predominated with 48% of the species (mostly Cyclocephala), followed in decreasing order by Melolonthinae (35%) and Rutelinae (15%, principally Anomala).

Corregido 18-IX-2012. Aceptado 12-X-2012. Abstract: Scarabaeoidea superfamily (Insecta: Coleoptera) as a bioindicator element of anthropogenic disturbance in an amazon national park. Insects have been recognized to be important indicators of the quality elements of ecosystems, among others, because of their rapid response to environmental variability and ease cost-effective capture. In this work we evaluated whether beetles of the Scarabaeoidea superfamily may be used as bioindicators of anthropogenic disturbance of Amazonian terra firme rain forests, in order to provide guidelines for monitoring strategies of the Amacayacu National Park. We considered three different levels of anthropogenic disturbance (i.e. low, medium, high) in 12 transects (four in each intervention level), and caught all beetle species of this superfamily. Three interception traps, two light traps, three pitfalls and four bottle fruit traps were used per transect, as well as manual catch. In total, 593 individuals belonging to 92 species, 44 genera and seven families were collected. Scarabaeidae (n=232, 27 spp.) and Dynastidae (n=161, 26 spp.) were the families with the highest number of individuals and species, while Aphodiidae, Cetoniidae and Geotrupidae exhibited the lowest.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1).

Roraima, 1000, Camobi, Santa Maria, RS, Brasil - CEP 97105-900. E-mail: [email protected]. ABSTRACT - NOTE ON THE BIOLOGY OF Deltochilum (Calhyboma) elevatum (CASTELNAU) (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE). The Scarabaeidae family has detritivorous insects, which help in the removal and re-entry of feces, carcasses and rotten fruit in the cycle of nutrients. Canthonini is one of the oldest and more diverse tribes of Scarabaeidae, and has species with different ecological niches, which are distributed throughout the Neotropical region. The genus Deltochilum Eschscholtz, 1822 has about 80 Neotropical species, mostly copro-necrophagous, associated with forest habitats. In this genre, Deltochilum (Calhyboma) elevatum (Castelnau, 1840) is a species considered rare in scientific collections and that has limited information on its biology. The aim of this study is to disseminate and discuss aspects of the biology of this species. Key words : Scarabaeinae, Canthonini, Deltochilum , dung beetle. RESUMO - A família Scarabaeidae agrupa insetos detritívoros que auxiliam na remoção e reingresso de fezes, carcaças e frutos podres no ciclo de nutrientes.

  • Report of Astaena Pygidialis Kirsch (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
    Report of Astaena pygidialis Kirsch (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), the main chafer beetle causing damage to avocado fruit and young leaves in Antioquia Department, Colombia Claudia M. Holguin1,*, and Rosa H. Mira1 Abstract Scarab beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) are one of the most limiting pests of avocado in Antioquia Department, Colombia. The establishment of management strategies to control these beetles has been difficult because the species causing damage to avocado fruit and young leaves have not been identified. Selected commercial avocado fields were surveyed at different times of d for scarab beetle adults affecting small fruit and young leaves, as well as other plant structures such as flowers, tender buds, stems, and mature leaves. Additionally, ultraviolet light traps were placed at each field to quantify the species captured. After direct scouting of avocado trees, the only scarab beetle species detected causing damage to fruit and young leaves at all sampling sites was Astaena pygidialis Kirsch (Coleoptera: Melolonthinae). Adults were observed chewing the green skin of small fruit causing striations on the fruit and skeletonization of young leaves by chewing the leaf tissue between veins on the upper surface. Other species observed include Anomala cincta Say (Coleoptera: Rutelinae), Charioderma xylina Blanchard, and Strigoderma sp. (all Coleoptera: Rutelinae) associated with flowers, Isonychus sp. (Coleoptera: Melolonthinae) with flower buds, Cyclocephala fulgurata Burmeister (Coleoptera: Dynastinae) with tender buds, stems and flowers, andAstaena valida Burmeister and Plectris pavida (Burmeister) (both Coleoptera: Melolonthinae) with mature leaves. The species detected through scouting also were captured with light traps. The dominant species captured with light traps was Phyllophaga obsoleta (Blanchard) (Coleoptera: Melolonthinae), which was not observed causing damage to avocado fruit or young leaves.
