SCARABAEIDAE: CETONIINAE LEACH, 1815 Christian H. Moeseneder, Tom A. Weir, Cate Lemann and Paul M. Hutchinson while the Schizorrhinini (111 species) evolved in situ and dispersed from there into the Oriental regions, where they are now highly speciose and occur as far as Sri Lanka. Some Australian cetoniines, namely Dilochrosis atripennis (Macleay) and Dilochrosis brownii (Kirby) have spread over a large part of the continent and are found along the East Coast but also in WA. From the arid centre of Australia few species are known (Moeseneder & Hutchinson 2016) but current collecting effort is yielding new species in such poorly collected regions. No cetoniine species are known to have been introduced by humans to Australia. Within the continent, however, Protaetia fusca (Herbst) and Glycyphana stolata (Fabricius) were unintentionally transported from their original eastern states range into WA where they have become established. As an attractive group, cetoniines have received much attention but also turmoil from the beginning of taxonomy. The placement and grouping of species within the Scarabaeoidea and the names of taxa were subject to many changes. Linneaus (1758) grouped the species which are now in the subfamily Cetoniinae with all other Scarabaeoidea in Scarabaeus. The subfamily was named by Fabricius (1775) who created Cetonia for all current Cetoniinae. Donovan (1805) described the first species in endemic genera. Leach (1815) placed his family Cetonida under Fig. 34.0. Bisallardiana philippei (Allard). tribe Scarabaeides. The genus Schizorhina which held most Common names. Flower beetles, flower chafers. subsequently described Australian cetoniines was described by Kirby (1825). W. S. Macleay (1838) created an elaborate system Introduction. In Australia the cosmopolitan subfamily with four levels under Cetonidae, which included, for example, Cetoniinae currently contains 141 species in 3 tribes and 37 Insulares, a taxon containing Madagascan and Australasian genera. 68% of genera and 90% of species are endemic to this species; Valgus Scriba within the genus Trichinus Kirby; and the continent. Worldwide there are 4273 described cetoniine species Australian cetoniine species with a pronotal lobe in Gymnetinus in 485 genera (Krajčík 2012). Macleay. Burmeister (1842) presented a key to the known species The Cetoniinae are a conspicuous group of insects and of Schizorrhinidae (it included species from Africa, Madagascar several species are known to the public in flight and as flower- and Australia) and Cetoniades genuini (all current Cetoniini). W. visitors in suburban backyards, for example the ‘Cowboy J. Macleay (1863), created subsection Lenosoma within Cetonia Beetle’ (Chondropyga dorsalis (Donovan)) and the ‘Fiddler F. for C. fulgens Macleay and other small species. Van de Poll Beetle’ (Eupoecila australasiae (Donovan)). Adult beetles (1886) recognised the consistency of male genitalia within range in size from less than 5 mm (Microvalgus Kraatz) to genera. Gemminger & von Harold (1869) listed all Australian 45 mm (Dilochrosis Thomson), but the majority are medium- species under genus Schizorhina Kirby. Thomson (1878, 1880) sized beetles. While a few species are well known and reared described genera in Schizorhina. Kraatz (1880) dealt largely for education and by hobbyists, little or nothing is understood with classification, often based on the writing of other authors of the biology of most Australian cetoniines. Some species are rather than his own inspection, and created more genera for the so rarely collected that only several specimens have ever been 40 diverse species remaining in genus Schizorhina Kirby [as found and the females of six species are unknown. In several Schizorrhina (sic)]; ten of these are still valid. Schoch’s important large genera, such as Microvalgus, few biological or ecological papers (Schoch 1894, 1895, 1896) presented keys to genera observations of Australian species have been published. and a catalogue of cetoniines based mainly on distribution and Cetoniines occur in all Australian states, with the tropical shape and extent of mesoventral process. In the Schizorrhinini north Queensland region especially rich in species and he separated those with a lancet-shaped process (Hemipharidae) Tasmania particularly poor and represented only by the and those without (Diaphonidae). In the Cetonini he created the genus Microvalgus. Krikken (1984) suggested the following subtribe Glycyphanidae which included Protaetia Burmeister biogeography for the Australian cetoniines: the Cetoniini and Glycyphana Burmeister. Lea (1914) inspected a large and Charitovalgus Kolbe (14 species) invaded from the amount of material, providing distribution information and in Oriental region, Microvalgus (16 species) represent an depth morphological work, often based on colour and unusual ancient Gondwanan element (with extant members in Africa) specimens, but he ignored male genital construction entirely. 34_Subfamily_Cetoniine.indd 1 13/12/18 3:46 pm 2 Australian Beetles This is the only work that dealt with Australian Microvalgus, compiled from Alderson (1976), Armstrong (1979), Bacchus naming 11 of the 17 species. Schenkling presented a catalogue (1974), Froggatt (1894, 1907, 1914), Golding (2009), (Schenkling 1921) based on Schoch’s divisions and listed Hasenpusch & Moeseneder (2010), Hawkeswood (1981, 1982, Valginae genera without tribes.

Yet, the services insects render to us humans as pollinators, entomophages, producers of honey, wax, silk, shellac, dyes, etc. have been estimated to be worth 20 billion dollars annually to the USA alone. The role holy scarabs played to ancient Egyptians is legendary, but other religions, too, appreciated insects: the Bible mentions honey 55 times. Insects as ornaments and decoration have been common throughout the ages and nowadays adorn stamps, postcards, T-shirts, and even the human skin as tattoos.

  • A New Cetoniinae for the French Polynesia Fauna (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae)
    Bulletin de la Société entomologique de France, 120 (3), 2015 : 379-381. A new Cetoniinae for the French Polynesia fauna (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) by Thibault RAMAGE 9 quartier de la Glacière, F – 29900 Concarneau <[email protected]> Abstract. – The Cetoniinae fauna of French Polynesia was restricted until now to a single introduced species, Protaetia fusca (Herbst, 1790). A second species is here reported from Tahiti, Glycyphana stolata (Fabricius, 1781). P. fusca is also reported from the Marquesas Islands for the first time. Résumé. – Une nouvelle Cétoine pour la faune de Polynésie française (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae). La faune des Cetoniinae de Polynésie française, qui ne comprenait jusqu’à présent qu’une espèce introduite, Protaetia fusca (Herbst, 1790), compte désormais une seconde espèce, connue en Polynésie pour l’instant de Tahiti seulement, Glycyphana stolata (Fabricius, 1781). P. fusca est également citée pour la première fois des Marquises. Keywords. – Glycyphana stolata, Protaetia fusca, Cetoniini, French Polynesia. _________________ Until now only one species of Cetoniinae was known in French Polynesia, Protaetia fusca (Herbst, 1790) (PAULIAN, 1998). This species was reported only from the Society Islands, and it appears that it is also present in the Marquesas Islands. A second Cetoniinae, Glycyphana stolata (Fabricius, 1781), has been collected recently on Tahiti. It seems that G. stolata is now settled in French Polynesia and will probably spread in the different archipelagoes.

They are often described as flower pest (“Rose chafers, flower beetles”), and are thought not to be significant as fruit pests. However, during the last ten years some serious damage to fruit has been observed. Since this damage occurs when the fruits are ripening, insecticides cannot be used. There are no literature data about the amount of the damage or how to monitor the damage. This paper describes our monitoring of the population dynamics of the Cetonia aurata and Potosia cuprea, and the method for calculating the damage to fruit suitable for the orchards in this area. The study was conducted during the spring and summer of the year 2005, 2006 and 2007 in the Ravni kotari region, near the villages of Prkos and Smilčić. We used Csalomon® VARb3k funnel traps.

Thus, both in terms of quantities produced and the value of its products, the vine constitutes a particularly important cultivation. THE HOST PLANT AND ITS CULTIVATION The original area of distribution of the genus Vitis was broken up by the separation of the continents; although numerous species developed, Vitis vinifera has been cultivated from the beginning for its fruit and wine producing qualities (43, 75, 184). This cultivation commenced in Transcaucasia about 6000 B.C. Subsequent human migration spread its cultivation, at firstaround the Mediterranean coast; the Roman conquest led to the plant's progressive establishment in Europe, almost to its present extent.

  • The Diversity of the Family Cetoniidae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) of Mountain Ozren (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
    Acta entomologica serbica, 2013, 18(1/2): 55-67 UDC 595.764(497.6) THE DIVERSITY OF THE FAMILY CETONIIDAE (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEOIDEA) OF MOUNTAIN OZREN (BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA) MIRZETA KAŠIĆ-LELO*, SUVAD LELO and ADI VESNIĆ Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Biology Department Zmaja od Bosne 33 71000 Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina * E-mail: [email protected] Abstract From April to September of 2008 and 2009 samples of family Cetoniidae Leach, 1815 were collected on the vertical profile of the southern slopes of Mount Ozren near Sarajevo. Research was conducted at six selected localities: Orlovac, Nahorevo, Čavljak, Skakvac, Bukovik and Crepoljsko. After 41 field investigations, 594 individuals were collected and determined as representatives of seven species. Collected data were processed with statistical software Biodiversity Pro and with options Diversity/Compare diversities: Alpha index; Berger-Parker index; Simpsons index; Margaleff index; Mackintosh index; Bray-Curtis Cluster Analysis: Single Link. By comparison of data it was concluded that Skakavac represents the typical locality for southern slopes of Mount Ozren. The species Oxythyrea funesta (Poda, 1761) is the most numerous faunistic element that was found.

    Ulicsni et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:47 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0118-7 RESEARCH Open Access Folk knowledge of invertebrates in Central Europe - folk taxonomy, nomenclature, medicinal and other uses, folklore, and nature conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3 Abstract Background: There is scarce information about European folk knowledge of wild invertebrate fauna. We have documented such folk knowledge in three regions, in Romania, Slovakia and Croatia. We provide a list of folk taxa, and discuss folk biological classification and nomenclature, salient features, uses, related proverbs and sayings, and conservation. Methods: We collected data among Hungarian-speaking people practising small-scale, traditional agriculture. We studied “all” invertebrate species (species groups) potentially occurring in the vicinity of the settlements. We used photos, held semi-structured interviews, and conducted picture sorting. Results: We documented 208 invertebrate folk taxa. Many species were known which have, to our knowledge, no economic significance. 36 % of the species were known to at least half of the informants. Knowledge reliability was high, although informants were sometimes prone to exaggeration. 93 % of folk taxa had their own individual names, and 90 % of the taxa were embedded in the folk taxonomy. Twenty four species were of direct use to humans (4 medicinal, 5 consumed, 11 as bait, 2 as playthings). Completely new was the discovery that the honey stomachs of black-coloured carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea, X. valga)were consumed. 30 taxa were associated with a proverb or used for weather forecasting, or predicting harvests. Conscious ideas about conserving invertebrates only occurred with a few taxa, but informants would generally refrain from harming firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus), field crickets (Gryllus campestris) and most butterflies.

    Quick Guide for the Identification of Maryland Scarabaeoidea Mallory Hagadorn Dr. Dana L. Price Department of Biological Sciences Salisbury University This document is a pictorial reference of Maryland Scarabaeoidea genera (and sometimes species) that was created to expedite the identification of Maryland Scarabs. Our current understanding of Maryland Scarabs comes from “An Annotated Checklist of the Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) of Maryland” (Staines 1984). Staines reported 266 species and subspecies using literature and review of several Maryland Museums. Dr. Price and her research students are currently conducting a bioinventory of Maryland Scarabs that will be used to create a “Taxonomic Guide to the Scarabaeoidea of Maryland”. This will include dichotomous keys to family and species based on historical reports and collections from all 23 counties in Maryland. This document should be cited as: Hagadorn, M.A. and D.L. Price. 2012. Quick Guide for the Identification of Maryland Scarabaeoidea. Salisbury University. Pp. 54. Questions regarding this document should be sent to: Dr. Dana L.

    COLEOPTERA II CÉTONIDES PAR -j* A. BOURGOIN (Moulignon, France) Distribué le 30 septembre 1933. Vol. IV, fasc. 9 (1). CÉTONIDES PAR f A. BOURGOIN (Moulignon, France) Qu'il me soit permis d'adresser ici mes remercîments à M. le Dr Yan Straelen pour la confiance qu'il m'a témoignée en me confiant l'étude des Cétonides recueillis par LL. AA. RR. le Prince Léopold et la Princesse A'strid de Belgique au cours de leur voyage aux Indes néerlandaises. J'ai énuméré les genres et les espèces dans l'ordre qui m'a semblé le plus logique, sans tenir compte des divisions en groupes et en tribus, car un même genre est souvent placé, selon les auteurs qui l'ont étudié, tantôt dans l'un, tantôt dans l'autre de ces groupes et tribus. Cette classification, basée parfois sur un caractère commun peu important, conduit à des groupements qui sont loin d'être naturels; un entomologue mettra les Clinteria parmi les Oxythyréides, un autre parmi les Gymnétides; tel auteur trouve que certains Elaphinis sont des Goliathides, un autre crée pour eux une section : les Elaphinides, dans laquelle il case les Trymodera et les Phonotaenia. On pourrait multiplier ces exemples qui prouvent que ces groupements n'ont qu'une importance très secondaire, mais peuvent induire en erreur en laissant supposer, entre certains genres, une affinité qui n'existe pas. J'ajoute à ce travail quelques remarques concernant des espèces affines, non récoltées par l'expédition belge. Seules celles rapportées par celle-ci sont numé¬ rotées. 4 f A.
