    Mitt. internat. entomol. Ver. Frankfurt a.M. ISSN 1019-2808 Band 33 . Heft 1/2 Seiten 31 - 43 2. Juni 2008 Systematic Catalogue of the Cryptophagidae of the Madeira Archipelago and Selvagens Islands 1 (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea) TP PT Jens ESSER Introduction Since T. V. WOLLASTON 1847 visited for first time the Madeiran archipelago he and other entomologists collected a lot of beetles from there. WOLLASTON published a few longer and shorter papers (WOL- LASTON 1854, 1857, 1864, 1871a, 1871b) about the beetles and described a lot of beetles including a few Cryptophagidae. Later, some other authors collected and published about Cryptophagidae from the Madeiran archipelago. One further species was described by BRUCE (1940), which is no longer a valid species. So, all three endemic species from the archipelago were described by WOLLASTON. For further information about the Atlantics see ASSING & SCHÜLKE (2006). The Cryptophagidae on the Madeiras and Selvagens Today we know 17 species of Cryptophagidae recorded from the Madeiran archipelago and no species from the Selvagens Islands. Three of these species are endemic (18 %), known only from Madeira proper. There is no endemic species known from the other islands. The other 14 species are widespread in Europe or in the Mediterrian Region, the most are widespread in the Palaearctic Region, one species is cosmopolitan.

Larson Olyssa S. Starry Portland State University 2016 © 2016 Sydney Marie Gonsalves Abstract With over half the world’s population now living in cities, urban areas represent one of earth’s few ecosystems that are increasing in extent, and are sites of altered biogeochemical cycles, habitat fragmentation, and changes in biodiversity. However, urban green spaces, including green roofs, can also provide important pools of biodiversity and contribute to regional gamma diversity, while novel species assemblages can enhance some ecosystem services.

ZooKeys 121: 1–494. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.121.732 Abstract This paper presents the first complete and updated list of all 3597 species of beetles (Insecta: Coleop- tera) belonging to 92 families found and published in Lithuania until 2011, with comments also pro- vided on the main systematic and nomenclatural changes since the last monograic treatment (Pileckis and Monsevičius 1995, 1997). The introductory section provides a general overview of the main features of territory of the Lithuania, the origins and formation of the beetle fauna and their conservation, the faunistic investigations in Lithuania to date revealing the most important stages of the faunistic research process with reference to the most prominent scientists, an overview of their work, and their contribution to Lithuanian coleopteran faunal research. Species recorded in Lithuania by some authors without reliable evidence and requiring further confir- mation with new data are presented in a separate list, consisting of 183 species.
