Throughout Wisconsin sampling sites were selected based on habitat type and sampling history. Wisconsin endomychids were hand collected from fungi and under tree bark; successful trapping methods included cantharidin- baited pitfall traps, flight intercept traps, and Lindgren funnel traps. Examina- tion of literature records, museum and private collections, and field research yielded 10 species, three of which are new state records. Two dubious records, Epipocus unicolor Horn and Stenotarsus hispidus (Herbst), could not be con- firmed.

A Review of the Japanese Kateretidae Fauna (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea)
ACTA ENTOMOLOGICA MUSEI NATIONALIS PRAGAE Published 9.xii.2011 Volume 51(2), pp. 551–585 ISSN 0374-1036 A review of the Japanese Kateretidae fauna (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea) Sadatomo HISAMATSU Entomological Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Ehime University, Tarumi 3–5–7, Matsuyama, 790–8566 Japan; e–mail: [email protected] Abstract. The family Kateretidae of Japan is revised. Nine species belonging to 6 genera are recognized, including: Kateretes japonicus Hisamatsu, 1985, K. takagii S-T. Hisamatsu, 2006, Platamartus jakowlewi Reitter, 1892, Heterhelus (Heterhelus) scutellaris (Heer, 1841), H. (Heterhelus) morio (Reitter, 1878), H. (Boreades) solani (Heer, 1841), Sibirhelus corpulentus (Reitter, 1900), Brachyp- terus urticae (Fabricius, 1792), and Brachypterolus pulicarius (Linnaeus, 1758). Heterhelus morio, which was synonymized under H. scutellaris by KIREJTSHUK (1989), is found to be a valid species, and is herein resurrected. Platamartus jakowlewi is newly recorded from Japan. Brachypterolus shimoyamai Hisamatsu, 1985, syn. nov., is synonymized under Brachypterolus pulicarius. Dorsal habitus images, illustrations of male and female genitalia, and other important diagnostic characters are provided for all species. A key for identiﬁ cation of all Japanese taxa is also provided. Key words. Coleoptera, Kateretidae, taxonomy, new synonym, new record, key, Japan, Palaearctic Region Introduction The family Kateretidae, belonging to the superfamily Cucujoidea, is mainly distributed in the Holarctic Region, and comprises about 95 species within 14 genera worldwide (JELÍNEK & CLINE 2010). Both larval and adult Kateretidae are anthophagous: the larvae are monophagous or oligophagous, while adults are more generalized feeders, occurring on true host plants only during mating and ovipositing periods; otherwise, they feed on a broader assortment of ﬂ owering plants (JELÍNEK & CLINE 2010).

DIET of the EASTERN BRISTLEBIRD Dasyornis Brachypterus in NEW SOUTH WALES
Corella, 2004, 28(3): 79-81 DIET OF THE EASTERN BRISTLEBIRD Dasyornis brachypterus IN NEW SOUTH WALES LINDA GIBSON1 and JACK BAKER2 'Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2010 'Institute of Conservation Biology. Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, New South Wales 2522 Received: I October 2003 7 The diet of the Eastern Bristlebird Oasyomis brachypterus in New South Wales was determined from observations and an analysis of faeces, stomach and gut contents of 18 birds caught in or obtained from Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay and Barren Grounds Nature Reserve, New South Wales. The study showed these birds largely take mobile terrestrial invertebrate species, the majority of which are ants and beetles. There is some indication that plant material, especially seeds, are also part of the diet. Observations suggest that the diet is opportunistic and based on foraging behaviour of 'peck it and see'. INTRODUCTION STUDY AREA AND METHODS Dasyornis brachypterus The specimens used in this study were obtained from two sites. The rare Eastern Bristlebird ° ° (Passeriformes: Pardalotidae), is a small, semi-flightless, Booderee National Park, (35 08'S, l 50 45'E) a Commonwealth of Australia owned area that occupies most of the Bherwerre brownish bird inhabiting low, dense vegetation in coastal Peninsula, on the southern side of Jervis Bay, on the south coast and near coastal south-eastern Australia. It once occurred of New South Wales and Barren Grounds Nature Reserve (34°40'S, in an almost continuous distribution from southern l 50 °42'E) on the lllawarra plateau, west of Kiama, New South Queensland to western Victoria (Baker 1997).

CLASSIFICAÇÃO COMENTADA DE COLEOPTERA Sergio Antonio
III. MARCO SISTEMÁTICO DEL PROYECTO PRIBES 2002 CLASSIFICAÇÃO COMENTADA DE COLEOPTERA Sergio Antonio Vanin & Sergio Ide An annotated classification of the Coleoptera Abstract The Coleoptera are an extremely diversified group of insects with more than 350,000 described species. The conjunction of this richness with the different stages in the taxonomic knowledge make it difficult to obtain consistent classifications. The monophyly of the order and of each of the four suborders are largely accepted by the authors, however the relationships among the suborders are highly controversial. The most recent classification for the order was proposed by Lawrence & Newton (1995) and modified by Lawrence et al. (1999). In this paper we present comments on works that influenced or represented important contributions for the re-evaluation of this classification. Key words: classification, Coleoptera, diversity, phylogeny, Systematics Classificação comentada de Coleoptera Resumo Os Coleoptera constituem um grupo de insetos extremamente diversificado, com Sergio Antonio Vanin mais de 350.000 espécies descritas.

Comparative Morphology of the Male Genitalia in Lepidoptera
COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGY OF THE MALE GENITALIA IN LEPIDOPTERA. By DEV RAJ MEHTA, M. Sc.~ Ph. D. (Canta.b.), 'Univefsity Scholar of the Government of the Punjab, India (Department of Zoology, University of Oambridge). CONTENTS. PAGE. Introduction 197 Historical Review 199 Technique. 201 N ontenclature 201 Function • 205 Comparative Morphology 206 Conclusions in Phylogeny 257 Summary 261 Literature 1 262 INTRODUCTION. In the domains of both Morphology and Taxonomy the study' of Insect genitalia has evoked considerable interest during the past half century. Zander (1900, 1901, 1903) suggested a common structural plan for the genitalia in various orders of insects. This work stimulated further research and his conclusions were amplified by Crampton (1920) who homologized the different parts in the genitalia of Hymenoptera, Mecoptera, Neuroptera, Diptera, Trichoptera Lepidoptera, Hemiptera and Strepsiptera with those of more generalized insects like the Ephe meroptera and Thysanura. During this time the use of genitalic charac ters for taxonomic purposes was also realized particularly in cases where the other imaginal characters had failed to serve. In this con nection may be mentioned the work of Buchanan White (1876), Gosse (1883), Bethune Baker (1914), Pierce (1909, 1914, 1922) and others. Also, a comparative account of the genitalia, as a basis for the phylo genetic study of different insect orders, was employed by Walker (1919), Sharp and Muir (1912), Singh-Pruthi (1925) and Cole (1927), in Orthop tera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera and the Diptera respectively. It is sur prising, work of this nature having been found so useful in these groups, that an important order like the Lepidoptera should have escaped careful analysis at the hands of the morphologists.
