Anisodactylus Binotatus Fabr., a Carabid Beetle New to New Zealand, and a Review of the Exotic Carabid Fauna
Pacific Insects 5 (4) : 837-847 December 30, 1963 ANISODACTYLUS BINOTATUS FABR., A CARABID BEETLE NEW TO NEW ZEALAND, AND A REVIEW OF THE EXOTIC CARABID FAUNA By R. L. C. Pilgrim DEPT, OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY, NEW ZEALAND Abstract: Anisodactylus binotatus Fabr. 1787 (Col.: Carabidae), an introduced species now established in Canterbury (South Island), New Zealand, is reported for the first time. The literature respecting other carabids sometimes recorded as introduced is reviewed; Ago- nochila binotata (White, 1846), Agonum submetallicum (White, 1846), Hypharpax australasiae (Dejean, 1829) and Pentagonica vittipennis Chaudoir, 1877 are shown to be better considered as endemic to the Australia - New Zealand area. Other species are classed as either native to New Zealand, clearly introduced though not all established, or of doubtful occurrence in New Zealand. Introduction: The Carabidae of New Zealand are predominantly endemic species, but a small number of exotic species has been recorded. This paper reports a further introduc tion to the carabid fauna of this country and concludes with a survey of recorded exotic Carabidae in New Zealand. Specimens of the newly-recorded species were collected in domestic gardens in Christ church, and were included in a collection sent for identification to Dr. E. B. Britton, British Museum (Nat. Hist.), who kindly drew the writer's attention to the fact that they were so far unreported from New Zealand. Description of adult (from New Zealand specimens) Fig. 1.

University of Tlemcen, BP119 13000 Algeria 2IMBE, CNRS, IRD, Aix-Marseille University, France *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT A study on diversity of ground beetle communities (Coleoptera Carabidae) was conducted between March 2011 and February 2012 in the temporary pond: Dayet El Ferd (listed as a Ramsar site in 2004) located in a steppe area on the northwest of Algeria. The samples were collected bimonthly at 6 sampling plots and the gathered Carabidae were identified and coun - ted. A total of 55 species belonging to 32 genera of 7 subfamilies were identified from 2893 collected ground beetles. The most species rich subfamilies were Harpalinae (35 species, 64%) and Trechinae (14 species, 25.45%), others represented by one or two species. Accord- ing to the total individual numbers, Cicindelinae was the most abundant subfamily compris- ing 38.81% of the whole beetles, followed by 998 Harpalinae (34.49%), and 735 Trechinae (25.4%), respectively. The dominant species was Calomera lunulata (Fabricius, 1781) (1087 individuals, 37.57%) and the subdominant species was Pogonus chalceus viridanus (Dejean, 1828) (576 individuals, 19.91%).

SCHMIDT Abstract Two new species of Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Platynini) are described: Anchomenus bellus sp.n. from southern and eastern Turkey, and A. alcedo sp.n. from northern Israel and Lebanon. In external characters they are very similar to the western Turkey endemic A. dohrnii FAIRMAIRE, 1866, but differ distinctly each in male genitalic characters. A third new species of Anchomenus BONELLI is described from eastern Afghanistan: A. kataevi sp.n. The relationships of the new species are briefly discussed, and a key to the Palaearctic representatives of the genus Anchomenus is pro- vided. Anchomenus dorsalis infuscatus CHEVROLAT, 1854, formerly considered a junior synonym of A. dorsalis PONTOPPIDAN, 1763, is here regarded as a good subspecies.

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.

Photos of Nebria vandykei (above) and Grylloblatta (below). I. Introduction Montane habitats, covering approximately 10% of the global land surface, provide critical environmental services to adjacent ecosystems and human communities, including clean water, carbon storage, and a wealth of natural resources (Spehn and Körner 2005). These habitats are also biodiversity hotspots that are particularly susceptible to species loss in a changing climate due to their high level of endemism (Körner and Spehn 2002). In western North America, montane regions are considered “globally outstanding” when measured for their biological distinctiveness (Ricketts et al. 1999), and at the same time “exceptionally at risk” of biodiversity loss due to climate change (La Sorte and Jetz 2010). Although natural reserves encompass many western mountains, recent studies have documented upslope range shifts and population declines in protected plant and animal taxa (Lenoir et al. 2008, Moritz et al. 2008). A number of climate change assessments have been developed for the Pacific Northwest focusing on threatened plant and vertebrate species with good presence/absence data (e.g. Carroll et al. 2010, Johnston et al. -
The Purposes of This Paper Are to Clarify Generic Concepts in New
STUDIES OF THE SUBTRIBE TACHYINA (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE: BEMBIDIINI) SUPPLEMENT A: LECTOTYPE DESIGNATIONS FOR NEW WORLD SPECIES, TWO NEW GENERA, AND NOTES ON GENERIC CONCEPTS1 TERRY L. ERWIN National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. 20560 ABSTRACT•The New World species-group names of the carabid subtribe Tachyina are arranged alphabetically by genus. Lectotype designation are made where necessary and species are assigned accordingly to their proper genus. Two new genera, Costitachys and Meotachys are described. Three species described in the genus Polyderis, testaceolimbata Motschulsky, glabrella Mots., and breviscula Mots., are reassigned to the genus Perigona of the Perigonini. A key is provided to Tachyina genera and notes on generic concepts are given. INTRODUCTION The purposes of this paper are to clarify generic concepts in New World Tachyina, designate lectotypes, list synonymies, provide a key to genera, and describe two new genera. Ail of this became possible after studying the World fauna to determine how New World groups relate to Old World groups. Much of this work has now been done and my series of revisions for the World Tachyina has begun to be issued (Erwin, 1973a, 1974). The work here has been strictly limited without giving reasons for many of the actions taken. Reasons will be provided in forthcoming revisions where space will allow full development of ideas from facts, and analyses of these facts. METHODS During 1971, I was able to study almost all primary type material for New World Tachyina as well as to study numerous Old World forms in the British Museum in London and in the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. -

ZooKeys 740: 97–108. https:// doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.740.23495 Abstract Is it correct to look for a supposedly missing species by focusing research at the type locality? A species can be declared extinct because for an unusual amount of time it has not been seen again; however, in the frame of the climate change it is likely that a supposedly missing species is a lucky survivor not seen because it was not searched for in the correct environment. We used the strictly endemic Leistus punctatis- simus Breit, 1914 (Coleoptera, Carabidae) as the case study for testing the latter hypothesis vs. the type locality approach. On the basis of past unsuccessful searches in the Dolomites (a mountain range in the eastern Alps, Italy) driven by the type locality approach, a study area was selected where climate change may have exerted environmental constraints on endemic species. -
