Male and female ectodermal genitalia possess extensive correspondence in musculature, which is described for the first time in Pterygota. The term homology cannot be used for corre- sponding structures between the sexes. By myological comparison of both sexes the following hypotheses are inferred: 1. Aedeagus and vaginal palps are derivatives of different urites. 2. Spiculum gastrale and vaginal palps are derivatives of urite IX. 3. The caudal part of Spiculum gastrale is of sternal or pleural origin. 4. The aedeagus is derived from urite X (or from inter- segmental area IX/X). 5. The bursa copulatrix is derived from urite x (or from intersegmental area ix/x). 6. The female genital tract has no structures corresponding to the aedeagus. Keywords: Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, functional morphology, homology, copulatory apparatus, cryptic female choice. Zusammenfassung Sklerite, Membranen und Muskeln des männlichen und weiblichen Kopulationsapparates des Maikäfers Melolontha melolontha (Linnaeus, 1758) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) werden in Ruhe und in Copula beschrieben. Erstmalig wird der Ablauf der Kopulation bei Melolontha vollständig dargestellt. Aus dem Vergleich zwischen Ruhelage, Kopulationspositionen und mutmaßlicher Ovipositionsstellung werden die Funktionen der einzelnen Elemente der Kopulationsorgane erschlossen. In einem funktionsmorphologischen Szenario wird das Funktionieren der Kopula geschildert. Eine mögliche Strategie des Weib- chens, die Kopulation vor der Insemination zu beenden, wird beschrieben (cryptic female choice). Der Aedoeagus liegt in Ruhe auf der Seite („deversement"). Der Verlauf von Ductus ejaculatorius und Tracheen spricht für ein „retournement", eine Längsrotation des Aedoeagus um 180° während der Evolution, was erstmalig für die Scarabaeoidea festgestellt wird. Die männlichen und weiblichen ektodermalen Genitalien weisen eine entsprechende Muskelaus- stattung auf, was bei Pterygota erstmalig festgestellt wird. Der Terminus Homologie kann für Entsprechungen zwischen den beiden Geschlechtern einer Art nicht angewandt werden. Aus dem myologischen Vergleich beider Geschlechter werden folgende Hypothesen abgeleitet: 1. Aedoeagus und Vaginalpalpen sind Derivate unterschiedlicher Urite. 2. Spiculum gastrale und Vaginalpalpen sind Derivate des Urits IX. 3. Der caudale Teil des Spiculum gastrale ist sterna- 1 len oder pleuralen Ursprungs. 4. Der Aedoeagus ist ein Derivat des Urits X ) (oder des Inter- segmentalbereichs IX/X). 5. Die Bursa copulatrix ist ein Derivat des Urits x (oder des Inter- segmentalbereichs ix/x). 6. Der weibliche Genitaltrakt besitzt keine dem Aedoeagus entspre- chenden Sklerite. Inhalt 1 Einführung 3 2. Material, Methoden und Abkürzungen 5 2.1. Material 5 2.2. Methoden 6 2.3. Abkürzungen 6 3.

Einführung Im Jahre 1848 entdeckte der französische Apotheker Pi pro Orman< EY, daß der männliche Kopulationsapparat der Käfer im allgemeinen artspezifisch ausgeprägt ist. Ein Jahr darauf publizierte er eine ausführliche Studie /ti diesem Thema (Or- manci.y 1849). Nachdem die Genitalmorphologie in Jen darauffolgenden Jahrzehn- ten nur sehr vereinzelt in der coleopterologischen Forschung berücksichtigt wurde, ist es vor allem l\c\' [nsistenz des Berliner Professors Gustav K.raatz zu verdanken, daß die taxonomische Bedeutung der Genitalmorphologie publik gemacht winde (zum Beispiel Kraatz 1881; Smith 1889: 483f).

A, Nr. 537 Bis heute werden die äußeren Genitalien zur Diagnostizierung von Biospecies be- vorzugt verwandt, da in den Kopulationsorganen anscheinend unmittelbar ein in- terspezifischer Isolationsmechanismus manifestiert ist: das mechanische Schlüssel- Schloß-Prinzip (lock-key), das Leon Dufour im Jahre 1844 (p. 253) in seinen Unter- suchungen über die Kopulationsorgane der Diptera formuliert hatte. Wie jedoch be- reits Jeannel (1941: 107) erkannte, ist gerade bei Käfern ein mechanisches Schlüssel- Schloß-Prinzip aus konstruktiven Gründen ausgeschlossen. Hier ist zwar der Schlüssel, der männliche Aedoeagus, ausgesprochen vielgestaltig; das weibliche Ge- genstück, die Vagina, weist hingegen keine Sklerite auf, die einem falschen Schlüssel in irgendeiner Weise passiven Widerstand leisten könnten [cf. Eberhard 1992: 1780 („because there is simply no female 'lock,'")]. Aktiver Widerstand ist hingegen mög- lich. Mehrfach konnte ich beobachten, daß ein Weibchen den bereits penetrierten Aedoeagus eines artgleichen Männchens nicht akzeptierte und die Kopulation been- dete, was die „female-choice-hypothesis" (Eberhard 1985) unterstützt. Diese Hypo- these, nach der das Weibchen durch Wahlverhalten sexuelle Selektion bewirkt, er- klärt nach Eberhard (1985) die hohe interspezifische Variabilität der männlichen Ge- nitalien im Tierreich.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships and Distribution of the Rhizotrogini (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae) in the West Mediterranean
    Graellsia, 59(2-3): 443-455 (2003) PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE RHIZOTROGINI (COLEOPTERA, SCARABAEIDAE, MELOLONTHINAE) IN THE WEST MEDITERRANEAN Mª. M. Coca-Abia* ABSTRACT In this paper, the West Mediterranean genera of Rhizotrogini are reviewed. Two kinds of character sets are discussed: those relative to the external morphology of the adult and those of the male and female genitalia. Genera Amadotrogus Reitter, 1902; Amphimallina Reitter, 1905; Amphimallon Berthold, 1827; Geotrogus Guérin-Méneville, 1842; Monotropus Erichson, 1847; Pseudoapeterogyna Escalera, 1914 and Rhizotrogus Berthold, 1827 are analysed: to demonstrate the monophyly of this group of genera; to asses the realtionships of these taxa; to test species transferred from Rhizotrogus to Geotrogus and Monotropus, and to describe external morphological and male and female genitalic cha- racters which distinguish each genus. Phylogenetic analysis leads to the conclusion that this group of genera is monophyletic. However, nothing can be said about internal relationships of the genera, which remain in a basal polytomy. Some of the species tranferred from Rhizotrogus are considered to be a new genus Firminus. The genera Amphimallina and Pseudoapterogyna are synonymized with Amphimallon and Geotrogus respectively. Key words: Taxonomy, nomenclature, review, Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae, Rhizotrogini, Amadotrogus, Amphimallon, Rhizotrogus, Geotrogus, Pseudoapterogyna, Firminus, Mediterranean basin.

The negative effect of the surrounding cropland was detectable in a three-metre wide zone next to the mound edge, where the naturalness of the vegetation was lower, and the frequency of weeds, ruderal species and crop plants was higher than in the central zone. The ancient man-made mounds harboured dry and warm habitats on the southern slope, while the northern slopes had higher biodiversity, due to the balanced water supplies.

  • (Other Than Moths) Attracted to Light
    Insects (other than moths) attracted to light Prepared by Martin Harvey for BENHS workshop on 9 December 2017 Although light-traps go hand-in-hand with catching and recording moths, a surprisingly wide range of other insects can be attracted to light and appear in light-traps on a regular or occasional basis. The lists below show insects recorded from light-traps of various kinds, mostly from southern central England but with some additions from elsewhere in Britain, and based on my records from the early 1990s to date. Nearly all are my own records, plus a few of species that I have identified for other moth recorders. The dataset includes 2,446 records of 615 species. (See the final page of this document for a comparison with another list from Andy Musgrove.) This isn’t a rigorous survey: it represents those species that I have identified and recorded in a fairly ad hoc way over the years. I record insects in light-traps fairly regularly, but there are of course biases based on my taxonomic interests and abilities. Some groups that come to light regularly are not well-represented on this list, e.g. chironomid midges are missing despite their frequent abundance in light traps, Dung beetle Aphodius rufipes there are few parasitic wasps, and some other groups such as muscid © Udo Schmidt flies and water bugs are also under-represented. It’s possible there are errors in this list, e.g. where light-trapping has been erroneously recorded as a method for species found by day. I’ve removed the errors that I’ve found, but I might not yet have found all of them.

As in the previous part, we feel that it is important to present a brief information about the most important collections mentioned in this catalogue; see also BEZDĚK & HÁJEK (2009).

Kunah34 Oles Honchar Dnipropetrovsk National University, Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine The results of studying the spatial structure of soil mesofauna of an urbanotechnozem by OMI- and RLQ-analysis are presented. The research was conducted on 5 June 2012 in the Botanic Garden of Oles Gonchar University (previously – territory of the Park Y. Gagarin, Dnipropetrovsk). The studied plot is situated on the slope of the Krasnopostachekaya balka (48°25'57.43" N, 35°2'16.52" E). The plot consists of 15 transects directed in a perpendicular manner in relation to the talweg. Each transect is made of seven sample points. The distance between points is 2 m. The coordinates of the lower left point were taken as (0; 0). The plot consisted of artificial grassland with a single tree. The vegetation was composed of grassland and steppe, of a mega-mesotrophic, xeromesophilic character. At each point the mesopedobionts were studied (data presented as L-table); temperature, electrical conductivity and soil penetration resistance, and grass height were measured (data presented as R-table). The soil-zoological test area was 25 × 25 cm.
