MPAMNARAS AND PANAGIOTIS A. ELIOPOULOS* Department of Agricultural Technologists, Technological Educational Institute of Thessaly, Larissa, 41110, Greece ABSTRACT Two wood-boring beetles are recorded for the first time in Greece. On late June 2001, the lepturine longicorn beetle Oxymirus cursor (L.) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) was found on Mt. Rodopi, and on early August 2012 the lucanid beetle Sinodendron cylindricum (L.) (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) was found on Mt. Falakron, in N. Greece. Images of both species and information on their distribution, ecology and biology, are presented.

Thesis, in Czech]. Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, České Budějovice, Czech Republic. 34 pp. Annotation This study uses cca. 510 bp of mitochondrial 16S rDNA gene for phylogeny of the beetle family Cerambycidae particularly the subfamilies Spondylidinae and Lepturinae using methods of Minimum Evolutin, Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Analysis. Two included representatives of Dorcasominae cluster with species of the subfamilies Prioninae and Cerambycinae, confirming lack of relations to Lepturinae where still classified by some authors. The subfamily Spondylidinae, lacking reliable morfological apomorphies, is supported as monophyletic, with Spondylis as an ingroup. Our data is inconclusive as to whether Necydalinae should be better clasified as a separate subfamily or as a tribe within Lepturinae. Of the lepturine tribes, Lepturini (including the genera Desmocerus, Grammoptera and Strophiona) and Oxymirini are reasonably supported, whereas Xylosteini does not come out monophyletic in MrBayes. Rhagiini is not retrieved as monophyletic. Position of some isolated genera such as Rhamnusium, Sachalinobia, Caraphia, Centrodera, Teledapus, or Enoploderes, as well as interrelations of higher taxa within Lepturinae, remain uncertain.

Comparative Cytogenetics 13(2): 179–192. https://doi. org/10.3897/CompCytogen.v13i2.34746 Abstract Heterochromatin variation was studied after C-banding of male karyotypes with a XY sex formula from 224 species belonging to most of the main families of Coleoptera. The karyotypes were classified in relation with the ratio heterochromatin/euchromatin total amounts and the amounts of heterochromatin on autosomes and gonosomes were compared. The C-banded karyotypes of 19 species, representing characteristic profiles are presented. This analysis shows that there is a strong tendency for the homogenization of the size of the peri- centromeric C-banded heterochromatin on autosomes. The amount of heterochromatin on the X roughly fol- lows the variations of autosomes.

Contribution to the knowledge of long-horned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Latvia. Baltic J. Coleopterol., 13(2): 91 – 102. The current paper provides data on the occurrence and distribution of 48 long-horned beetle species in Latvia. One species – Grammoptera ustulata (Schaller, 1783) – is reported for the first time for the fauna of the Baltic states (incl. Latvia). Two species – Agapanthia violacea (Fabricius, 1775) and Phytoecia pustulata (Schrank, 1776) – are new for the Latvian fauna. New findings for a number of rare species are presented. For two species – Stenurella bifasciata bifasciata (O.F.Müller, 1776) and Phytoecia virgula (Charpentier, 1825) – the ten- dency to expand their range northwards is detected. This finding, possibly, indicates climate changes. Key words: Cerambycidae, Coleoptera, fauna, Latvia Arvīds Barševskis.

  • Effect of Distance to Urban Areas on Saproxylic Beetles in Urban Forests
    Effect of distance to urban areas on saproxylic beetles in urban forests Effekt av avstånd till bebyggda områden på vedlevande skalbaggar i urbana skogsområden Jeffery D Marker Faculty of Health, Science and Technology Biology: Ecology and Conservation Biology Master’s thesis, 30 hp Supervisor: Denis Lafage Examiner: Larry Greenberg 2019-01-29 Series number: 19:07 2 Abstract Urban forests play key roles in animal and plant biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services. Habitat fragmentation and expanding urbanization threaten biodiversity in and around urban areas. Saproxylic beetles can act as bioindicators of forest health and their diversity may help to explain and define urban-forest edge effects. I explored the relationship between saproxylic beetle diversity and distance to an urban area along nine transects in the Västra Götaland region of Sweden. Specifically, the relationships between abundance and species richness and distance from the urban- forest boundary, forest age, forest volume, and tree species ratio was investigated Unbaited flight interception traps were set at intervals of 0, 250, and 500 meters from an urban-forest boundary to measure beetle abundance and richness. A total of 4182 saproxylic beetles representing 179 species were captured over two months. Distance from the urban forest boundary showed little overall effect on abundance suggesting urban proximity does not affect saproxylic beetle abundance. There was an effect on species richness, with saproxylic species richness greater closer to the urban-forest boundary. Forest volume had a very small positive effect on both abundance and species richness likely due to a limited change in volume along each transect. An increase in the occurrence of deciduous tree species proved to be an important factor driving saproxylic beetle abundance moving closer to the urban-forest.

Half of the forest edges studied were created by bark beetle attacks (interior edges), the others result from clearance for farming by humans. At each forest edge, five traps were installed as follows: one trap was placed in the open area 50–80 m distant from the forest edge, two traps at the edge (one at ground level, one in the canopy), and two traps in the forest interior 70–100 m away from the edge (one at ground level, one in the canopy). We caught and determined 10,966 specimens representing 421 insect species: 240 beetles, 96 true bugs, 65 Aculeata, and 20 lacewings. The highest number of species was found in the open spaces and at the edges. Bark beetle gaps are shown as hot spots of insect biodiversity. Key words: interior forest edge, exterior forest edge, biodiversity, flight interception traps, bark beetles.

Chapter 1 THE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF PRESCRIBED BURNING OF CLEAR-CUTS ON SAPROXYLIC BEETLE DIVERSITY ARE SHORT-LIVED AND DEPEND ON FOREST-FIRE CONTINUITY Jonas Victorsson1,2,*, Lars-Ove Wikars1,3 and Stefan Ås1 1Animal Ecology, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Norbyvägen 18 D, SE-752 36 Uppsala, Sweden 2Department of Ecology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Box 7044, SE-750 07 Uppsala, Sweden 3Hovgården 66, SE -781 91 Borlänge, Sweden ABSTRACT Before modern forestry started, forest fire was the dominating large-scale disturbance in boreal forest. Prescribed burning of clear-cuts is increasingly used as a conservation measure but is potentially less beneficial for fire-associated species than burning of intact forest. We investigated the temporal effect of prescribed burning of clear-cuts in two regions in central Sweden: one region with a relatively unbroken forest- fire continuity (Orsa) and one region with a broken fire continuity (Långshyttan) more typical for Fennoscandia.

Longicornes de France – Atlas préliminaire (Coleoptera : Cerambycidae & Vesperidae). Supplément au bulletin d’ACOREP-France, Paris. 176 p. 1 Résumé. Cet ouvrage présente la distribution commentée des 250 espèces de longicornes de France métropolitaine (avec la Corse), pour la période 1970-2018. L’atlas est fondé sur la compilation et la synthèse de 137 000 données partagées dans l’inventaire national du patrimoine naturel (INPN-SINP1), issues de 395 jeux de données et des citations d’environ 3 500 observateurs. Après validation des données et suppression des doublons, 102 300 données ont servi à établir les cartes de distribution par maille 10 x 10 km et les histogrammes de saisonnalité par décade pour les 81 Cerambycinae, 83 Lamiinae, 63 Lepturinae, 2 Necydalinae, 5 Prioninae, 12 Spondylidinae et 4 Vesperidae.
