  • 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.

Many other families in majority of the forest understory (Figure 1). As Indiana are supported by jobs producing those a result, Indiana’s forests are poised to change oak tables and hickory cabinets. Others enjoy dramatically in the future as a new group of recreation in forests with tall trees and open species comes to dominate the forest.

  • Bark Beetle Pheromones and Pine Volatiles: Attractant Kairomone Lure Blend for Longhorn Beetles (Cerambycidae) in Pine Stands of the Southeastern United States
    FOREST ENTOMOLOGY Bark Beetle Pheromones and Pine Volatiles: Attractant Kairomone Lure Blend for Longhorn Beetles (Cerambycidae) in Pine Stands of the Southeastern United States 1,2 3 1 4 DANIEL R. MILLER, CHRIS ASARO, CHRISTOPHER M. CROWE, AND DONALD A. DUERR J. Econ. Entomol. 104(4): 1245Ð1257 (2011); DOI: 10.1603/EC11051 ABSTRACT In 2006, we examined the ßight responses of 43 species of longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) to multiple-funnel traps baited with binary lure blends of 1) ipsenol ϩ ipsdienol, 2) ethanol ϩ ␣-pinene, and a quaternary lure blend of 3) ipsenol ϩ ipsdienol ϩ ethanol ϩ ␣-pinene in the southeastern United States. In addition, we monitored responses of Buprestidae, Elateridae, and Curculionidae commonly associated with pine longhorn beetles. Field trials were conducted in mature pine (Pinus pp.) stands in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Virginia. The following species preferred traps baited with the quaternary blend over those baited with ethanol ϩ ␣-pinene: Acanthocinus nodosus (F.), Acanthocinus obsoletus (Olivier), Astylopsis arcuata (LeConte), Astylopsis sexguttata (Say), Monochamus scutellatus (Say), Monochamus titillator (F.) complex, Rhagium inquisitor (L.) (Cerambycidae), Buprestis consularis Gory, Buprestis lineata F. (Buprestidae), Ips avulsus (Eichhoff), Ips calligraphus (Germar), Ips grandicollis (Eichhoff), Orthotomicus caelatus (Eichhoff), and Gna- thotrichus materiarus (Fitch) (Curculionidae). The addition of ipsenol and ipsdienol had no effect on catches of 17 other species of bark and wood boring beetles in traps baited with ethanol and ␣-pinene. Ethanol ϩ ␣-pinene interrupted the attraction of Ips avulsus, I. grandicollis, and Pityophthorus Eichhoff spp. (but not I. calligraphus) (Curculionidae) to traps baited with ipsenol ϩ ipsdienol. Our results support the use of traps baited with a quaternary blend of ipsenol ϩ ipsdienol ϩ ethanol ϩ ␣-pinene for common saproxylic beetles in pine forests of the southeastern United States.

Current address: 8920 South Bryerly Ct., Hereford, AZ 85615, U.S.A. ABSTRACT This article presents both ethnoentomological notes on Nahuatl and Mixtec language terms as they are applied to Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) and distributional records for species collected during three projects carried out in the states of Guerrero and Puebla, Mexico. Some comparative data from other Mesoamerican and Native American languages are discussed. Indigenous common names are mapped onto current taxonomic nomenclature, and an analysis is offered of the logical basis for Indigenous classification: the exclusion of some cerambycids and the inclusion of other beetles in the nominal native “cerambycid” category. New state distributional records for the Cerambycidae collected in this study are offered for Guerrero: Bebelis picta Pascoe, Callipogon senex Dupont, Neocompsa macrotricha Martins, Olenosus ser- rimanus Bates, Ornithia mexicana zapotensis Tippmann, Stenygra histrio Audinet-Serville, Strongylaspis championi Bates, Lissonotus flavocinctus puncticollis Bates, and Nothopleurus lobigenis Bates; and Puebla: Juiaparus mexicanus (Thomson), Ptychodes guttulatus Dillon and Dillon, and Steirastoma senex White.

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.

  • A New Species of Batyle from Utah (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)1
    No. 4 GUINEA PIG HEART AND HYPOTHERMIA 233 A NEW SPECIES OF BATYLE FROM UTAH (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE)1 JOSEF N. KNULL College of Biological Sciences, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210 ABSTRACT Specimens of a cerambycid belonging to genus Batyle, collected on Compositae 20 miles east of Escelante, Garfield Co., Utah, and sent for identification, are identified as belong- ing to a new species, B. knowltoni. The black color, short antennae, coarse dorsal punc- tures, and black pubescence distinguish it from other species in this genus. A small series, a black Batyle, unlike anything previously recorded, was received for identification from Dr. W. J. Hanson, Utah State University, Logan, Utah. A description of the form follows: Batyle knowltoni sp. n. Male.—Form and size of Batyle suturalis (Say); integument shining black, clothed with black pubescence. Head coarsely punctured; front depressed, finely punctate, central area smooth; antennae extending past middle of elytra when laid along side. Pronotum globose, wider than long, widest back of middle, wider at base than at apex; surface with apex and base transversely margined, irregularly coarsely punctured, leaving an irregular smooth area in front of scutellum, an upright black hair arising from each puncture; prosternum transversely impressed in front of coxae, densely punctured. Scutellum finely punctured, pubescence short. Elytra at base wider than widest part of pronotum; sides constricted back of base, then subparallel to separately broadly rounded apices which do not cover last dorsal segment of abdomen; surface densely, irregularly, coarsely punctured, punctures on basal three-fifths coarser than on pronotum, becoming smaller toward apices; a long black erect hair arising from each puncture on basal half, apical half with shorter recumbent pubescence.
