Chemsal< Entomology & Parasitology University of California 201 Wellman Hall Berkeley, CA 94720 Abstract The tribe Rhoplllophorini is reviewed tor North andC-entral America Keys to genera and species are provided, and known species are redescribed. The genus Rhopalophora Audinet-Serville is revised to include 16 species, WIth the followmg additIons: R. sernpenmsn. sp. and R. yucatana n. sp. are descnbed from MeXICO; R. rUgLcolhs hOl1Orei n ssp is described from Baja California; and R meeskei Casey, 1891 is restored to species status New synonymIes are: R. mcrustata Chevrolat, 1859 R. tenuis (Chevrolat, 1855); R. laevicollis LeConte, 1873 R. cltpricollis Gnerin-MlmeviJle, 1844 Distribution maps are includedfor the more common species. The subgenus Ischwnodonta Chevrolat IS raIsed to genenc status, and includes 3 species: 1. serripes (Bates, 1872) n. comb.; I. versicolor (Chevrolat, 1859) n. comb.; and 1. mexicana n. sp. from Mexico. Cosmisoma Audinet-Servilleis revised to mclude 6 species, with 2 newly described: C. militaris n. sp. from Panama and Costa Rica, and C. ,haptos n. sp from Panama and O>lombia. New synonymies are: C. nudicornis Bates, 1892 C. martyr Thomson, 1860, and C. alboscutellata linsley, 1935 =C. reticulata Bates, 1885. Cycnoderus Audinet-Serville is newly recorded from Mexico and centralAmerica with 6 species: C. virginiae n. sp.. C. copei n. sp., C. liuidus n. sp., C. breuicolle n. sp. from Mexico, and C. guatemalicus n. sp. from Guatemala. Cycnoderus barbatus Gounelle is recorded from O>sta Rica and Panama. Anew genus, Muxbalia, is proposed and tentatively placedin the Rhopalophotini, and M. monzoni n. sp. is describedfrom Guatemala. Ozodes Audinet-Serville, andLissozodes Bates are removedfrom the RhopalophOlini and placed pruvisiOllally in the NeC}'dalopsilli. Rhopalophola cup, icoUis, R. longipes, R. serripennis, Cycnoderus virginiae, Cosmisoma rhaptos, and Muxbalia monzoni are illustrated.

The generic status of Necydalopsis Blanchard 1851 is restricted only to its type species Necydalopsis trizonatus Blanchard, 1851 (= Necydalopsis cyanipennis Fairmaire & Germain, 1861 n.syn). The genus Parepimelitta Bruch, 1918 (type species Parepimelitta gounellei Bruch 1918 = Necydalopsis femoralis Germain, 1855) is revalidated to include the species P.femoralis (Germain,1855), n.

  • The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution
    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

NUMBER 2050 OCTOBER I2, I96I A List of Cerambycidae from the Chiricahua Mountain Area, Cochise County, Arizona (Coleoptera) BY E. G. LINSLEY, J. N. KNULL, AND M. STATHAM' The Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona have long been of interest to biologists because of their fauna and flora. The establish- ment of the Southwestern Research Station of the American Museum of Natural History, near Portal, Arizona, has greatly increased collect- ing activity in this area and provided excellent facilities as a base for biological and ecological studies. The collections that form the basis of the present report, in addition to those made by Linsley and Knull at various times over the last 30 years, were assembled largely by Dr. M. A. Cazier and his colleagues at the American Museum of Natural His- tory, the faculty and students of the 1958 University of California Sum- mer Field Course in Entomology, and personnel of the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, including a considerable amount of material collected in the early days by J. A. Kusche. We do not claim that the list is exhaustive; no doubt additional species are repre- sented in other collections and more will be captured in the future.

  • Checklist of the Cerambycidae and Disteniidae (Coleoptera) of the Western Hemisphere M
    Checklist of the Cerambycidae and Disteniidae (Coleoptera) of the Western Hemisphere M. A. Monné & F.T. Hovore - Electronic Version, 2002.1 Part One: Parandrinae through Lepturinae This checklist is as complete as possible for taxonomic work published through 31 May 2003. Tribes follow traditional treatments, but tribal classifications within the family have not been fully evaluated using modern phylogenetic methods, so ordering is to some degree arbitrary. Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Geographical distributions reflect the present knowledge of the authors and previous checklist data, and are subject to expansion as additional data is contributed. Provincial citations are used for some larger countries to more accurately indicate known ranges. Bibliographies for each species are not included, and the authors refer users to Monné, 1993, et seq., Catalogue of the Cerambycidae of the Western Hemisphere (Parts 1 - 22), for complete citations. A bibliographic file is included as Part Three of this electronic version. Considerable disagreement has existed over the status of the disteniid longhorns, which at various times have been separated as a separate family, the Disteniidae. The most recent taxonomic treatment (Lawrence & Newton, 1995) is as a subfamily, Disteniinae, and they are included as such herein. Abbreviations used in the list: Argentina BA = Buenos Aires; CA = Catamarca; CD = Córdoba; CH = Chaco; CO = Corrientes; CT = Chubut; ER = Entre Ríos; FO = Formosa; JU = Jujuy; LP = La Pampa; LR = La Rioja; ME = Mendoza;
