Many Flea Beetles are among the most affective jumpers in the animal kingdom, sometimes better than their namesakes the true Fleas (Siphonaptera). However, despite some intensive study of the anatomy and function of the metafemoral spring (Barth, 1954; Ker, 1977) the true function of this jumping mechanism remains a mystery. It probably is some sort of voluntary Catch, in- volving build-up of tension from the large muscles that insert on the metafemoral spring (Fig. 1), and theo a quick release of this energy. Ofcourse some Flea Beetles jump better than others, but basically all have this internal metafemoral spring floating by attachment from large muscles in the relatively enlarged bind femoral capsule (see Fig. 1 ). In fact Flea Beetles can usually be easily separated from other beetles, including chrysomelid subfa- milies, by their greatly swollen bind femora. There are a few genera of Alticinae that have a metafemoral spring and yet do not jump. Actually there are a few genera that are considered to be Alticinae that lack the metafemo- ral spring, e. g. Orthaltica (Scherer, 1974, 1981b - as discussed in this Symposium). Also the tribe Decarthrocerini contains three genera from Africa that Wilcox (1965) con- sidered as Galerucinae, but now thinks to be intermediate between Galerucinae and Alti- cinae; at least one of these genera does have a metafemoral spring (Wilcox, personal communication, and Fürth, unpublished data).

Departmentof Archaeology and Prehistory, University of Sheffield, Northgate House, West Street, Sheffield S 14ET March 2001 Discerning beetles,an entomo-archaeologicalstudy of coleopteran faunasin relation to place and time CONTENTS VOLUME 1- Text ABSTRACT i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ii LIST OF CONTENTS iii VOLUME 2- Illustrative material and bibliography LIST OF FIGURES i LIST OF TABLES iv LIST OF PLATES v APPENDIX 156 BIBLIOGRAPHY 157 ABSTRACT This work initially examinesthe origins and methods of entomo-archaeologicalstudies and reviews the current stateof this discipline. Original work is presentedon coleopteranfaunas, mainly from medieval pits, recovered and analysed from sites in Winchester, Southampton and Chichester. The faunas resemble those recovered from deposits of similar provenancefrom other sites. They also contain the earliest records of some species in Britain and the earliest medieval occurrencesof others which, were common in Roman Britain, but missing from the Saxonurban record. A modem analogue of a medieval cesspit was set up in order to investigate the coleopteranfaunas, which develop in that environment. Further experimental work was carried out using a choice chamber, to determine the preferred pabulum of certain speciesofAphodius dung beetles. The findings are placed in a wider context as a representative sample of all work, carried out on Roman and post-Roman coleopteran thanatocoenoses,were included in the following investigations. Methods of standardising data from different sourcesare discussed. The distribution of synanthropic species through time was studied, with special emphasis on Tipnus unicolor and Cryptolestesferrugineus.

  • Anti-Predator Defence Drives Parallel Morphological Evolution in Flea

Flea beetles (Alticinae) are characterized by an extraordinary jumping apparatus in the usually greatly expanded femur of their hind legs that separates them from the related Galerucinae. Here, we examine the evolution of this trait using phylogenetic analysis and a time-calibrated tree from mitochondrial (rrnL and cox1) and nuclear (small subunits and large subunits) genes, as well as morphometrics of femora using elliptic Fourier analysis. The phylogeny strongly supports multiple independent origins of the metafemoral spring and therefore rejects the monophyly of Alticinae, as defined by this trait. Geometric outline analysis of femora shows the great plasticity of this structure and its correlation with the type and diversity of the metafemoral springs. The recognition of convergence in jumping apparatus now resolves the long-standing difficulties of Galerucinae–Alticinae classification, and cautions against the value of trait complexity as a measure of taxonomic significance.

  • Entomological Impact Assessment for Proposed Cycle Path, Glyne Gap to Bulverhythe, St
    Entomological Impact Assessment for Proposed Cycle Path, Glyne Gap to Bulverhythe, St. Leonards, East Sussex, Updated, May, 2010 1. Background 1.1 It is proposed to extend the cycle path from Glyne Gap (TQ764079) to the outfall at Bulverhythe (TQ784086. The proposed track will be 3m wide, comparable with the existing track from Bexhill to Glyne Gap. 1.2 For most of the distance it is proposed that it traverses the built-up shingle ridge, which has elements of stable shingle vegetation close to the fence along the railway, which become more extensive around the beach huts and fishing huts at the eastern end by the outfall. 1.3 At the western end close to the tunnel at Glyne Gap there is a low cliff formed from sandy and clay deposits. It is proposed that the route here goes up the cliff ( c. 5m) and then travels along the top of the cliff close to the railway fence. 1.4 Mike Edwards and Peter Hodge were commissioned by East Sussex County Council to undertake a one-day survey in July 2009 to assess the potential impact of the proposed works on the insect fauna of the area. 1.5 This survey was followed by a further one-day survey undertaken on 11 April 2010, in order to assess the likely impacts of the amended route. 2. The survey. 2.1 This was undertaken in good sunny conditions on the 23rd July 2009 and repeated in fairly sunny conditions, although with a cold wind, on 11th April, 2010. The target insect groups were as follows: Mike Edwards; Aculeate Hymenoptera (bees, wasps and ants); Orthoptera ( Grasshoppers and Crickets); Diptera (selected groups, including hoverflies, robber flies and craneflies).

Gruev Department of Zoology, University of Plovdiv, Tzar Assen Street 24, BG-4000, Bulgaria INTRODUCTION VIKTOR APFELBECK (1912, 1914, 1916) published for the first time a complete faunistic information about all the leaf bettle taxa established in the Balkan Peninsula. He summarized the literature data and brought a large contribution of his own to the knowledge of the family Chrysomelidae including the results of his expeditions in a number of Balkan countries. Later works by various authors on leaf beetles of separate parts of the peninsula have been appeared, most extensive of which are those of: ROUBAL (1931-1934), NOVAK (1952, 1970), MÜLLER (1953), MOHR (1965, 1966), NONVEILLER (1978, 1984), GRUEV (1979, 1990, 1992, 1998), GRUEV and TOMOV (1984, 1986, 1998), BRELIH, DÖBERL, DROVENIK and PIRNAT (2003). The total number of the Chrysomelidae taxa of the Balkan Peninsula after Apfelbeck is 477. The present number (having in mind newly recorded and newly described taxa as well as synonyms and other nomenclaturial changes) of the established taxa is 791. Between 120 and 130 have been originally described on the basis of material from the Balkan Peninsula. 23 A comparative list… LIST OF THE TAXA ESTABLISHED IN THE BALKAN COUNTRIES: (Abbreviations: I – Italy [Balkan part], Sl –Slovenia [Balkan part], Cr – Croatia [Balkan part], Mg – Montenegro, BH – Bosnia-Herzegovina, M –

  • Dorset Beetle Checklist
    THE BEETLES of DORSET An annotated checklist Adrian Mylward A note on using the checklist: The checklist runs to over 150 pages. It has not been designed to be printed but species can be found by using Control F to open the Search box. You can then type in part/all of a species name to find a summary of Dorset records. Cover image: Cylindera germanica Cliff Tiger Beetle © Bryan Edwards The Beetles of Dorset (Vice-county 9) In his History of Glanvilles Wootton of 1878 C.W. Dale included records of 920 species of Coleoptera, the vast majority of which were from the neighbourhood of his home there. Then in 1926, at the age of 23, E.J. Pearce published A List of the Coleoptera of Dorset. Pearce pulled together the efforts of many recorders, and he subsequently added three supplements, in 1927, 1929, and 1931, ‘bringing the grand total to date up to 2149 species and varieties’. Unlike Dale, who spent most of his life at Glanvilles Wootton, Pearce did not remain in the county. His 1957 Royal Entomological Society handbook on the Pselaphidae (now a subfamily of the beetle family Staphylinidae) is still much used today. The county list below, containing 2653 species, is the first since that of Pearce. Its design is deliberately simple, to enable it to be easily updated at a time of frequent new discoveries and continual changes in nomenclature. It is published online and the hope is that it will be updated annually. The nomenclature follows the Checklist of Beetles of the British Isles (Duff, A.G.

  • The Coleopterist Cumulative Species Index, Vols 1-29 (1992-2020)
    The Coleopterist Cumulative Species Index, Vols 1-29 (1992-2020) Prepared by Martin Luff, December 2020 Notes: 1) Volume numbers are emboldened. 2) Volume 1 was issued in three separately paginated parts. In volume 1 therefore the parts 1-3 are in parentheses: thus ‘1(1):13’ is volume 1, part 1, page 13, ‘1(2):6’ is volume 1, part 2, page 6, etc. 3) No allowance is made for changes in nomenclature or mis-spellings in the magazine indices: the same species is often indexed under several names, sometimes even in the same volume. This applies especially to former sub-genera that are now treated as genera in the 2018 checklist, such as those in the former genus ‘Aphodius’. In such cases search for the specific name. 4) No responsibility is accepted for errors or omissions! If you find any, please email details to martin.luff@gmx.
