In October and November 2016, aquatic insects were sampled Keywords: in selected four temporary sampling sites in Kasetsart University, central Thailand. Temporary Habitat, Aquatic Aquatic D-hand net was used to capture the aquatic insects. Water variables in each Insects, Water Variables habitat were simultaneously measured. A total of 4,820 aquatic insect belonging to 5 orders–Hemiptera (45.119%), Coleoptera (22.51%), Diptera (13.54%), Order Ephemeroptera (10.35%) and Odonata (8.42%) were collected. Eight families were recorded within the Order Hemiptera, with members of Family Notonectidae and the species Anisops bouvieri dominating. Five families were registered within Coleoptera, dominated by family Hydrophilidae, while order Odonata had 2 families dominated by family Libellulidae. Order Diptera was dominated by family Chironomidae. Order Ephemeroptera was dominated by family Baetidae. The values of the Shannon-Weiner index of diversity ranged from 2.118 to 2.487. -

A Genus-Level Supertree of Adephaga (Coleoptera) Rolf G
ARTICLE IN PRESS Organisms, Diversity & Evolution 7 (2008) 255–269 www.elsevier.de/ode A genus-level supertree of Adephaga (Coleoptera) Rolf G. Beutela,Ã, Ignacio Riberab, Olaf R.P. Bininda-Emondsa aInstitut fu¨r Spezielle Zoologie und Evolutionsbiologie, FSU Jena, Germany bMuseo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid, Spain Received 14 October 2005; accepted 17 May 2006 Abstract A supertree for Adephaga was reconstructed based on 43 independent source trees – including cladograms based on Hennigian and numerical cladistic analyses of morphological and molecular data – and on a backbone taxonomy. To overcome problems associated with both the size of the group and the comparative paucity of available information, our analysis was made at the genus level (requiring synonymizing taxa at different levels across the trees) and used Safe Taxonomic Reduction to remove especially poorly known species. The final supertree contained 401 genera, making it the most comprehensive phylogenetic estimate yet published for the group. Interrelationships among the families are well resolved. Gyrinidae constitute the basal sister group, Haliplidae appear as the sister taxon of Geadephaga+ Dytiscoidea, Noteridae are the sister group of the remaining Dytiscoidea, Amphizoidae and Aspidytidae are sister groups, and Hygrobiidae forms a clade with Dytiscidae. Resolution within the species-rich Dytiscidae is generally high, but some relations remain unclear. Trachypachidae are the sister group of Carabidae (including Rhysodidae), in contrast to a proposed sister-group relationship between Trachypachidae and Dytiscoidea. Carabidae are only monophyletic with the inclusion of a non-monophyletic Rhysodidae, but resolution within this megadiverse group is generally low. Non-monophyly of Rhysodidae is extremely unlikely from a morphological point of view, and this group remains the greatest enigma in adephagan systematics. -
(Coleoptera, Dytiscidae) from Iriomote Island, Southwestern Japan, with a Key to the Japanese Species
Elytra, Tokyo, New Series, 7 (1): 5–13 June 25, 2017 A New Hydrovatus from Iriomote Island. 5 A New Species of the Genus Hydrovatus (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae) from Iriomote Island, Southwestern Japan, with a Key to the Japanese Species 1)* 2) Olof BISTRÖM and Kohei WATANABE 1) Finnish Museum of Natural History, Entomology Unit, POBox 17, FI-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland E-mail: [email protected] 2) Ishikawa Insect Museum, 3, Inu, Yawata-machi, Hakusan-shi, Ishikawa, 920–2113 Japan E-mail: [email protected] * Contribution to the study of Dytiscidae 88. Abstract The genus Hydrovatus MOTSCHULSKY, 1853 known from Japan is briefly discussed. Hydro- vatus remotus n. sp. is described from Island of Iriomote, Okinawa Prefecture, southernmost Japan, on the basis of seven specimens. Characters for separation from the closely related species and detail il- lustrations of male genitalia are given. The habitat of the collecting site is briefly described and photo- graphed. A key to the species for Japan is presented. Key words: Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, genus Hydrovatus, new species, taxonomy, key to species, Japan. Introduction The diving beetle genus Hydrovatus MOTSCHULSKY, 1853, is one of the most species rich among all dytiscid genera with at present 210 recognized species (cf. NILSSON, 2016). Its distribution ranges all continents except Antarctic but the main occurrence is concentrated to tropical and subtropical re- gions. The genus was revised quite recently by BISTRÖM (1997) and after this there has been a few ad- ditions, the latest being BISTRÖM and BERGSTEN (2016). In this paper we describe a new species from the Island of Iriomote, southernmost Japan, which is the second largest island of the Ryukyu archipelago. -

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA). -
