Этот вид имеет существенное практическое значение, являясь серьёзным музейным вредителем научных зоологических, искусст- воведческих, исторических, а также ряда других коллекций и фондов. Как правило, порче подверга- ются экспонаты и фондовые объекты, которые имеют животное происхождение (сухие шкурки и тушки, чучела, энтомологические сборы и др.) или включают натуральные материалы животного происхождения (шерстяные и меховые изделия). A. coloratus чрезвычайно широко распространён в Евразии, Африке и Северной Америке, есть сведения относительно наличия этого вида в Южной Америке. В статье обсуждаются распространение, биологические особенности, вредоносность и возможные перспективы инвазии вида-вселенца.

  • Occurrence, Ecological Function and Medical Importance of Dermestid Beetle Hastisetae
    Occurrence, ecological function and medical importance of dermestid beetle hastisetae Enrico Ruzzier1, Marcin Kadej2 and Andrea Battisti1 1 Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and the Environment (DAFNAE), Università degli Studi di Padova, Padova, Italy 2 Department of Invertebrate Biology, Evolution and Conservation, University of Wrocªaw, Wrocªaw, Poland ABSTRACT Hastisetae are a specific group of detachable setae characterizing the larvae of Megatom- inae (Coleoptera: Dermestidae), commonly known as carpet and khapra beetles. These setae are located on both thoracic and abdominal tergites and they are the primary defense of the larva against invertebrate predators. According to previous studies, the main purpose of hastisetae is to work as a mechanical obstacle, but they are also capable to block and kill a predator. Hastisetae, single or aggregate, function as an extremely efficient mechanical trap, based on an entangling mechanism of cuticular structures (spines and hairs) and body appendages (antennae, legs and mouthparts). It is believed that this defensive system evolved primarily to contrast predation by invertebrates, however it has been observed that hastisetae may affect vertebrates as well. Although information on the impacts of vertebrate predators of the beetles is lacking, hastisetae have been shown to be a possible threat for human health as an important contaminant of stored products (food and fabric), work and living environment. Review of past and recent literature on dermestid larvae has revealed that despite these structures indicated as one of the distinctive characters in species identification, very little is known about their ultrastructure, evolution and mechanism of action. In the present work, we will provide the state of knowledge on hastisetae in Dermestidae and we will present and Submitted 1 July 2019 discuss future research perspectives intended to bridge the existing knowledge gaps.

From Iran 29 species respectively subspecies are known so far, an additional species is recorded newly and also some other recently collected material is mentioned. The genus Phradonoma contains roundabout 41 species worldwide, so far 10 of them are recorded from Iran. MATERIALS AND METHOD The regarding material was collected by the third author at April 20th, 2009 in Nikshar, Sistan va Baluchestan province of Iran; voucher specimens of the records are deposited in the collection of the first author. Two general techniques were used for collecting dermestid beetles: 1- individuals occurring on flowers of Citrus aurantifolia before start of shooting were collected directly, 2- beating flowers was used for subsequent stages.

The study resulted in the recording for the Turkish fauna of 28 species of 6 genera belonging to 3 subfamilies (Attageninae, Dermestinae, Megatominae) within the family Dermestidae. Among them, Attagenus unicolor unicolor (Brahm, 1791), Anthrenus scrophulariae scrophulariae (Linnaeus, 1758), and Anthrenus goliath Saulcy in Mulsant & Rey, 1868 have been found to be the most abundant and widespread species. Separately, Anthrenus eichleri Kadej & Háva, 2006 is a new record for the Turkish fauna. In addition, new localities are added for some species previously reported for Turkey. Key words: Coleoptera, Dermestidae, fauna, new record, Turkey 1. Introduction for example Dermestes species, will feed on the larval food, Dermestidae is one of the smallest beetle families and although to a lesser extent (Beal, 1959; Booth et al., 1990; currently includes more than 1430 species grouped into Peacock, 1993; Kiselyova and McHugh, 2006).

ZooKeys 698: 59–74. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.698.14049 Abstract An updated description of the final larval instar and pupa ofMegatoma (s. str.) undata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) is presented. Several morphological characteristics of M. undata larvae are documented and discussed: antenna, epipharynx, mandibula, maxilla, ligula with labial palpi, hastisetae, terga, and condition of the antecostal suture. The paper is fully illustrated and includes some important additions to extend notes on this species available in the references. Summarised data about biology, eco- nomic importance, and distribution of M. undata are also provided. Keywords Exuvia, immature stage, seta, terga Introduction The genusMegatoma Herbst, 1791 is placed in the tribe Megatomini, subfamily Meg- atominae. Currently this group contains only 25 species (Kadej and Háva 2016 in- cluding one unrecognized species), and for this reason it is one of the smallest genera within the Dermestidae (= the Carpet Beetles; also known as skin or hide beetles).
