Gough Florida Museum of Natural History Biology Department University of Florida 3215 Hull Rd Gainesville, FL 32611-2062, USA [email protected] Abstract. The taxonomy of Nearctic tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae) is reviewed in light of modern systematics research. Despite decades of published molecular phylogenies, the taxonomic nomenclature has not been formally updated since the 1950s. We generated a maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree based on three mitochondrial gene fragments (16S, COX3 and CytB) to address the placement of Nearctic taxa that were not included in recent studies; these species were historically contained within Cylindera Westwood, 1831, a polyphyletic genus. Here we describe Parvindela Duran and Gough, new genus, and propose 20 new combi- nations based on a plurality of data, including our topology, prior molecular phylogenetic studies, morphology and ecology: Apterodela unipunctata (Fabricius, 1775) new combination; Brasiella praecisa (Bates, 1890) new combination; Brasiella viridisticta (Bates, 1881) new combination; Cicindela amargosae (Dahl, 1939) new combi- nation; Cicindela senilis (G. Horn, 1866) new combination; Cicindela willistoni (LeConte, 1879) new combination; Eunota californica (Menetries, 1883) new combination; Eunota circumpicta (LaFerte, 1841) new combination; Eu- nota fulgoris (Casey, 1913) new combination; Eunota gabbii (G. Horn, 1866) new combination; Eunota pamphila (LeConte, 1873) new combination; Eunota praetextata (LeConte, 1854) new combination; Eunota severa (LaFerte, 1841) new combination; Eunota striga (LeConte, 1875) new combination; Parvindela debilis (Bates, 1890) new combination; Parvindela celeripes (LeConte, 1848) new combination; Parvindela cursitans (LeConte, 1860) new combination; Parvindela terricola (Say, 1824) new combination; Parvindela nephelota (Bates, 1882) new combina- tion; Parvindela lunalonga (Schaupp, 1884) new combination. Key words. New genus, Parvindela, North America, molecular phylogeny Introduction Tiger beetles are one of the most popular and well-studied groups of insects (Knisley and Schultz 1997; Pearson and Vogler 2001), yet the taxonomy of the group is critically outdated and has not been updated to reflect the results of modern phylogenetic studies. The systematic relationships of tiger beetles have been studied extensively using both morphological characters (e.g. Horn 1915; Rivalier 1950; Ball et al. 2011) and molecular data (e.g. Galián et al. 2002; Pons et al. 2004; Sota et al. 2010; Gough et al. 2019). The most recent substantial taxonomic revision was by Rivalier (1950, 1954, 1957, 1961, 1963, 1969, 1970, 1971) where he revised the largest genus, Cicindela Linné, 1758, based on genitalic characters, erected 50 genera and subgenera, and divided Cicindelinae into four tribes (Cicindelini, Collyridini, Megacephalini and Manticorini). The Nearctic tiger beetle fauna has been thoroughly studied with respect to species-level phylogenies (Vogler and Welsh 1997; Barraclough and Vogler 2002; Vogler et al. 2005; Gough et al. 2019). These studies have used well-sampled trees to address other research questions such as macroevolutionary patterns (Vogler and Welsh 1997), speciation rates (Barraclough and Vogler 2002), or substitution rates in 2 • INSECTA MUNDI 0727, September 2019 DURAN AND GOUGH mtDNA genes (Vogler et al. 2005). Although topologies were not identical across studies, some consistent patterns have emerged that challenge the traditional taxonomy (e.g. placement of Cicindelidia willistoni (LeConte) in Cicindela). Still, the taxonomic implications of tiger beetle molecular phylogenetic studies have been conspicuously ignored (but see Morgan et al. 2000; Duran et al. 2019), and to date, little has been done to reconcile newer phylogenetic data with prior taxonomic nomenclature. Rivalier’s (1954) taxonomic revision of the faune Américaine remains the most thorough treatment of the Nearctic and Neotropical taxa; many species of Cicindela were transferred to other existing genera or to newly described genera and subgenera. For decades, most American workers had not adopted Rivalier’s genera, instead treating them as subgenera (e.g. Boyd 1982; Freitag 1999). Erwin and Pear- son’s Treatise on the Western Hemisphere Caraboidea (2008) was the first American publication to largely follow Rivalier’s generic circumscriptions, recognizing Cylindera Westwood, 1831, Dromochorus Guérin-Méneville, 1845, Ellipsoptera Dokhtouroff, 1883, Brasiella Rivalier, 1954, Eunota Rivalier, 1954, Habroscelimorpha Dokhtouroff, 1883, and Microthylax Rivalier, 1954, as well as the nominate Cicindela (sensu stricto). However, Erwin and Pearson (2008) did not recognize Cicindelidia Rivalier, 1954 as a full genus, treating it as a subgenus of Cicindela, although no justification was given for this decision. Molecular phylogenies have validated much of Rivalier’s work, although a minority of species have been recovered in clades that are inconsistent with his taxonomic framework. Recently, a comprehensive molecular phylogeny of the global tiger beetle diversity (Gough et al. 2019) sampled 328 species,

Among the insects inhabiting endorheic, temporary and highly saline small lakes of central Spain during dry periods, tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae) form particularly rich assemblages including unique endemic species. Cephalota dulcinea López, De la Rosa & Baena, 2006 is an endemic, regionally protected species that occurs only in saline marshes in Castilla-La Mancha (Central Spain). Here, we report that C. dulcinea suffers potential risks associated with counter-attacks by ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), while using them as prey at one of these marshes. Through mark–recapture methods, we estimated the population size of C. dulcinea at the study marsh as of 1352 individuals, with a sex ratio slightly biased towards males. Evident signs of ant defensive attack by the seed-harvesting ant Messor barbarus (Forel, 1905) were detected in 14% of marked individuals, sometimes with cut ant heads still grasped with their mandibles to the beetle body parts. Ant injuries have been more frequently recorded at the end of adult C.

    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.

In particular, the position 15 of Cicindelidae (tiger beetles) appears problematic, as recent studies have found them either 16 within the Hydradephaga based on mitogenomes, or together with several unlikely relatives 17 in Geadeadephaga based on 18S rRNA genes. We newly sequenced nine mitogenomes of 18 representatives of Cicindelidae and three ground beetles (Carabidae), and conducted 19 phylogenetic analyses together with 29 existing mitogenomes of Adephaga. Our results 20 support a basal split of Geadephaga and Hydradephaga, and reveal Cicindelidae, together 21 with Trachypachidae, as sister to all other Geadephaga, supporting their status as Family. We 22 show that alternative arrangements of basal adephagan relationships coincide with increased 23 rates of evolutionary change and with nucleotide compositional bias, but these confounding 24 factors were overcome by the CAT-Poisson model of PhyloBayes. The mitogenome + 18S 25 rRNA combined matrix supports the same topology only after removal of the hypervariable 26 expansion segments.

  • Additional Sampling for Aquatic Invertebrates, Tiger Beetles and Shorebirds at Lake Wells

    Additional Sampling for Aquatic Invertebrates, Tiger Beetles and Shorebirds at Lake Wells

    20 March 2020 Australian Potash Limited 4 Cook Street West Perth, WA 6005 Attention: Mr Spencer Shute, Principal Environmental Scientist Additional Sampling for Aquatic Invertebrates, Tiger Beetles and Shorebirds at Lake Wells This report is an addendum to Bennelongia (2019) Lake Wells Potash Project Subterranean Fauna Assessment. The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has advised Australian Potash Limited that more work was required to obtain environmental approvals at the proposed Lake Wells potash deposit. This proposed project will involve the extraction of naturally occurring potassium-rich groundwater brines underlying the Lake Wells salt lake system and their concentration in solar evaporation ponds for the production of sulphate of potash (potassium sulphate), an important plant fertiliser. Additional infrastructure will include salt harvesting and treatment facilities, access and haul roads, an airstrip, accommodation and administration facilities, utility supplies and drainage, and a borefield to produce ‘low salinity’ groundwater for potash processing and domestic purposes. The additional work carried out between 12-15 February 2020 was specifically designed to further understand the distributions of, and assess possible impact on: • Aquatic Invertebrates (especially three species collected in a 2017 survey and known only from the Lake Wells area), • Tiger Beetles, and • Shorebirds and other waterbirds. At the time of survey, the central area of the Lake Wells playa contained little or no surface water. In the north western quarter there was an extensive series of shallow flooded claypans for several kilometres from sites LW 7 to the western extent of the playa.

THE TIGER BEETLES OF ALBERTA (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE, CICINDELINI)' Gerald J. Hilchie Department of Entomology University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E3. Quaestiones Entomologicae 21:319-347 1985 ABSTRACT In Alberta there are 19 species of tiger beetles {Cicindela). These are found in a wide variety of habitats from sand dunes and riverbanks to construction sites. Each species has a unique distribution resulting from complex interactions of adult site selection, life history, competition, predation and historical factors. Post-pleistocene dispersal of tiger beetles into Alberta came predominantly from the south with a few species entering Alberta from the north and west. INTRODUCTION Wallis (1961) recognized 26 species of Cicindela in Canada, of which 19 occur in Alberta. Most species of tiger beetle in North America are polytypic but, in Alberta most are represented by a single subspecies. Two species are represented each by two subspecies and two others hybridize and might better be described as a single species with distinct subspecies. When a single subspecies is present in the province morphs normally attributed to other subspecies may also be present, in which case the most common morph (over 80% of a population) is used for subspecies designation. Tiger beetles have always been popular with collectors. Bright colours and quick flight make these beetles a sporting and delightful challenge to collect.
