    Anisodactylus Binotatus Fabr., a Carabid Beetle New to New Zealand, and a Review of the Exotic Carabid Fauna

    Pacific Insects 5 (4) : 837-847 December 30, 1963 ANISODACTYLUS BINOTATUS FABR., A CARABID BEETLE NEW TO NEW ZEALAND, AND A REVIEW OF THE EXOTIC CARABID FAUNA By R. L. C. Pilgrim DEPT, OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY, NEW ZEALAND Abstract: Anisodactylus binotatus Fabr. 1787 (Col.: Carabidae), an introduced species now established in Canterbury (South Island), New Zealand, is reported for the first time. The literature respecting other carabids sometimes recorded as introduced is reviewed; Ago- nochila binotata (White, 1846), Agonum submetallicum (White, 1846), Hypharpax australasiae (Dejean, 1829) and Pentagonica vittipennis Chaudoir, 1877 are shown to be better considered as endemic to the Australia - New Zealand area. Other species are classed as either native to New Zealand, clearly introduced though not all established, or of doubtful occurrence in New Zealand. Introduction: The Carabidae of New Zealand are predominantly endemic species, but a small number of exotic species has been recorded. This paper reports a further introduc­ tion to the carabid fauna of this country and concludes with a survey of recorded exotic Carabidae in New Zealand. Specimens of the newly-recorded species were collected in domestic gardens in Christ­ church, and were included in a collection sent for identification to Dr. E. B. Britton, British Museum (Nat. Hist.), who kindly drew the writer's attention to the fact that they were so far unreported from New Zealand. Description of adult (from New Zealand specimens) Fig. 1. Anisodactylus binotatus Fabricius, 1787 Color: Head, pronotum, elytra and femora black; tibiae and tarsi light brown to red- black ; palps and antennal segments 1-2 brown, remainder of antennae black; leg spines red-brown; head with small red spot on frons between eyes.

In particular, the position 15 of Cicindelidae (tiger beetles) appears problematic, as recent studies have found them either 16 within the Hydradephaga based on mitogenomes, or together with several unlikely relatives 17 in Geadeadephaga based on 18S rRNA genes. We newly sequenced nine mitogenomes of 18 representatives of Cicindelidae and three ground beetles (Carabidae), and conducted 19 phylogenetic analyses together with 29 existing mitogenomes of Adephaga. Our results 20 support a basal split of Geadephaga and Hydradephaga, and reveal Cicindelidae, together 21 with Trachypachidae, as sister to all other Geadephaga, supporting their status as Family. We 22 show that alternative arrangements of basal adephagan relationships coincide with increased 23 rates of evolutionary change and with nucleotide compositional bias, but these confounding 24 factors were overcome by the CAT-Poisson model of PhyloBayes. The mitogenome + 18S 25 rRNA combined matrix supports the same topology only after removal of the hypervariable 26 expansion segments.

    Scottish Beetles Introduction to Ground Beetles (Carabidae) There Are Almost 400 Species of Ground Beetles in the UK

    Scottish Beetles Introduction to Ground Beetles (Carabidae) There are almost 400 species of ground beetles in the UK. This guide is an introduction to 17 species found in this family. It is intended to be used in combination with the beetle anatomy guide and survey and recording guides. This family has species in a wide variety of sizes ranging from 2 to 30 mm. There are 5 tarsal segments on each foot. These beetles generally have long antennae and long legs, and often, but not always elongated oval body shapes. Beetles in this family range in colour from black, through many metallic colours, to bright green. Many of the species of beetles found in Scotland need careful examination with a microscope to identify them. This guide is designed to introduce some of the ground beetles you may find and give some key identification features for each. Violet ground beetle (Carabus violaceus) 20-30mm A large black beetle with metallic blue or purple edging, this beetle can often be confused with Carabus problematicus, however, it has smoother, more finely granulated elytra, whereas C. problematicus has elytra that are more rounded, more strongly sculptured and less convex. The Violet ground beetle pronotum is more convex. Where to look - Found in woodlands and moorlands. Occasionally seen on paths from April to September. Found everywhere in Scotland except the Western Isles, Mull and the Shetlands. BY 2.0 CC Shcmidt © Udo Ridged violet ground beetle (Carabus problematicus) 20-28mm This is a large black beetle with blue or violet tinted edges to the thorax and elytra.

Carabid beetles were collected with the help of pitfall traps and identified up to specie level with the help of available literature. We identified five species under three genera belonging to 3 sub-families. These sub families are Licininae, Carabinae, Brachininae and the species are Carabus caschmirensis, Chlaenius quadricolar, Pheropsophus sobrinus, Chlaenius laticollis, and Chlaenius hamifer. Carabus cashmirensis was the most abundant species. It was followed by Chlaenius quadricolar, Pheropsophus sobrinus, Chlaenius laticollis, and Chlenius hamifer.

The temperature ranges from 2C˚ to 38C˚ during extreme winter it falls below 0C˚. Some of major plants as apple, some citrus, walnut, apricot and many others along with thick mixed forests of evergreen pine, deodar, blue pine cedar trees and fir are present in study area.

    Graellsia, 51: 27-35 (1995) GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION IN THE AFRICAN- IBERIAN GROUND BEETLE RHABDOTOCARABUS MELANCHOLICUS (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE) AND ITS TAXONOMICAL AND BIOGEOGRAPHICAL IMPLICATIONS M. García-París (*, **) & M. París (**) ABSTRACT A study of morphological variation among populations from southern Spain and northwestern Africa of Rhabdotocarabus melancholicus (Fabricius, 1798) shows that there is statistical support for the recognition of three taxa: R. m. submeridionalis (Breuning, 1975) distributed over southeastern Spain, R. m. dehesicola n. ssp. from southwestern Spain and southern Portugal and R. m. melancholicus geographically res- tricted to northwestern Africa. This new arrangement changes previous biogeographic pictures for the genus, since R. m. melancholicus is not present in Europe and the range of variation observed within Iberian R. melancholicus is increased with new endemic taxa. We propose that the current differentiation among taxa is the result of successive vicariance events caused by dramatic paleogeographic changes which have occurred in the western Mediterranean region since the Mio-Pliocene boundary. Key words: Coleoptera, Carabidae, morphological variation, Biogeography, Mediterranean region.

Acta Biologica Sibirica 7: 125–141. https://doi. org/10.3897/abs.7.e67015 Abstract Bulgarian ground beetle (Coleoptera, Carabidae) fauna is relatively well studied but there are still many species and regions in the country which are not well researched. The present study aims at complementing the data about the distribution of the carabids from the tribes Pterostichini, Spho- drini, and Platynini, containing many diverse, interesting, and endemic species. It gives new records for 67 species and 23 zoogeographical regions in Bulgaria. The material was collected in the period from 1926 to 2021 through different sampling methods. Twenty-three species are recorded for the first time in different regions. Six species are reported for the second time in the regions where they were currently collected. Thirty-one species have not been reported for more than 20 years in Eastern and Middle Stara Planina Mts., Kraishte region, Boboshevo-Simitli valley, Sandanski-Petrich valley, Lyulin Mts., Vitosha Mts., Rila Mts., Pirin Mts., Slavyanka Mts., Thracian Lowland, and Sakar-Tundzha re- gion.
