  • A Faunal Survey of the Elateroidea of Montana by Catherine Elaine
    A faunal survey of the elateroidea of Montana by Catherine Elaine Seibert A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology Montana State University © Copyright by Catherine Elaine Seibert (1993) Abstract: The beetle family Elateridae is a large and taxonomically difficult group of insects that includes many economically important species of cultivated crops. Elaterid larvae, or wireworms, have a history of damaging small grains in Montana. Although chemical seed treatments have controlled wireworm damage since the early 1950's, it is- highly probable that their availability will become limited, if not completely unavailable, in the near future. In that event, information about Montana's elaterid fauna, particularity which species are present and where, will be necessary for renewed research efforts directed at wireworm management. A faunal survey of the superfamily Elateroidea, including the Elateridae and three closely related families, was undertaken to determine the species composition and distribution in Montana. Because elateroid larvae are difficult to collect and identify, the survey concentrated exclusively on adult beetles. This effort involved both the collection of Montana elateroids from the field and extensive borrowing of the same from museum sources. Results from the survey identified one artematopid, 152 elaterid, six throscid, and seven eucnemid species from Montana. County distributions for each species were mapped. In addition, dichotomous keys, and taxonomic and biological information, were compiled for various taxa. Species of potential economic importance were also noted, along with their host plants. Although the knowledge of the superfamily' has been improved significantly, it is not complete.

  • Coleoptera: Elateridae) of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba
    87 Chapter 2 Click Beetles and Wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba Willem G. van Herk and Robert S. Vernon Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, 6947 #7 Hwy, Agassiz, British Columbia Email: [email protected] Abstract. This chapter describes the Elateridae of Alberta (144 species), Saskatchewan (108 species), and Manitoba (109 species). It provides current names for species, as well as synonymized names that persist in the literature. Also discussed are the species that have been left out during recent changes to elaterid renaming and classification, although no new name combinations are given. The chapter outlines species distributions, biogeography where known, and the life histories of five common species: Aeolus mellillus (Say), Agriotes mancus (Say), Hypnoidus bicolor (Eschscholtz), Limonius californicus (Mannerheim), and Selatosomus aeripennis destructor (Brown). An examination of the seasonal movements and activity of larvae in response to soil temperature and moisture and moulting cycles is followed by an overview of past research on Prairie Province species. The chapter concludes with a discussion of current research needs and management issues. Résumé. Le présent chapitre décrit les Elateridae de l’Alberta (138 espèces), de la Saskatchewan (76 espèces) et du Manitoba (104 espèces). Il fournit les noms actuels de ces espèces, ainsi que les synonymes qui persistent dans la documentation spécialisée. Il se penche également sur les espèces qui ont été laissées de côté lors des récents changements apportés à la nomenclature et à la classification des élatéridés, sans toutefois s’attarder aux nouvelles combinaisons de noms. Le chapitre décrit la répartition des espèces, leur caractéristiques biogéographiques — lorsqu’elles sont connues — ainsi que le cycle de vie de cinq espèces communes : Aeolus mellillus (Say), Agriotes mancus (Say), Hypnoidus bicolor (Eschscholtz), Limonius californicus (Mannerheim), et Selatosomus aeripennis destructor (Brown).

  • ELATERIDAE: Click Beetles Selatosomus Pulcher (Leconte) Photo: Tom Murray the Elateridae (Click Beetles) Constitute a Diverse and Species-Rich Family of Beetles
    134 Majka, Chandler, & Donahue ELATERIDAE: Click Beetles Selatosomus pulcher (LeConte) photo: Tom Murray The Elateridae (click beetles) constitute a diverse and species-rich family of beetles. According to Johnson (2002c), it is the ninth most taxonomically diverse beetle family globally with about 965 valid species in North America, a number that Marske and Ivie (2003) used to rank it as the seventh- most species rich family in North America. The larvae of some elaterids are important in agriculture as rhizophagous species that feed on underground parts of a variety of plants, and in forest ecology as saproxylic species that feed on wood decaying organisms, or as predators in woodland environments. One hundred and sixty species of Elateridae (152 Nearctic; 7 Holarctic; 1 adventive Palaearctic) have been recorded in Maine, 27 of which are newly recorded in the state. Procter (1946) provided an annotated list of 48 species from Mount Desert Island, and Dearborn and Donahue (1993) provided an annotated list of 106 species from the state. This account follows the systematics and taxonomy of Johnson (2002c) and Majka and Johnson (2008).

The results of the study of fauna of click beetles in the Republic of Mordovia are presented. By now, 58 species of click beetles have been recorded here. Adrastus pallens is a new record for the republic. As per the literature information, 6 species of click beetles (Agriotes pilosellus, Melanotus crassicollis, Melanotus fusciceps, Liotrichus affinis, Pseudanostirus globicollis, Stenagostus rufus) are known and these indications require confirmation. Two species (Agriotes acuminatus, Limoniscus suturalis) are excluded from the fauna. Taking into account the literary information in the fauna of Mordovia, 64 species of Elateridae are known. Agrypnus murinus, Agriotes lineatus, Agriotes obscurus, Agriotes sputator, Dalopius marginatus, Ampedus balteatus, Ampedus pomorum, Hemicrepidius niger, Athous subfuscus, Prosternon tessellatum, Selatosomus aeneus are among the mass species. A list of the species is presented, which with a high degree of probability can still be found in the republic.

INTRODUCTION The world fauna of marsh-beetles (Scirtidae) includes about 1600 species (Lawrence, 2016), while about 340 species are distributed in the Palaearctic Region (Klausnitzer, 2016a). In the temperate part of the Palaearctic Region the marsh beetles are small in size and as a rule monotonous in color. Adult beetles are terrestrial, are often attracting to artificial lights and normally found on grassy vegetation not far from the water.

Ernst Department of Natural Resource Sciences McGill University Montreal, Quebec, Canada April 2015 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Crystal M. Ernst 2015 Abstract The overarching goal of this thesis was to describe patterns of terrestrial arthropod biodiversity and community structure in northern Canada, and to explore the underlying drivers and mechanisms that are responsible for these patterns. The term “biodiversity” is used here in a broad sense that includes both taxonomic (TD) and functional (FD) diversity. Ground-dwelling arthropods, especially beetles (Coleoptera), were used as model taxa, and were collected using standardized methods from twelve locations in the three northernmost ecoclimatic zones of Canada. Beetle biodiversity changes over time and space. Over the course of one active season, rapid species and functional turnover were observed in two major habitats in one subarctic location (Kugluktuk, Nunavut). While some functional groups were apparent only for brief periods of time, entomophagous predators consistently dominated the assemblage structure in biomass and abundance. This dominance by carnivores was observed consistently throughout the study, regardless of spatial or taxonomic scope. This inverted trophic structure suggests that predators may rely on alternative, non-epigeic prey items. A natural history study of previously unknown host-parasite interactions between beetles and nematomorphs (Gordionus n. sp.) suggests that beetles use alate insects with aquatic larval stages as an important nutrient subsidy. Across the entire study region, beetle TD and FD, as well as overall assemblage structure, display strong negative relationships with latitude, which conforms to the classical latitudinal gradient of diversity.
