L. BARBOSA, F. J. CIVIDANES, D. J. ANDRADE, AND T. M. DOS SANTOS-CIVIDANES Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 105(1): 54Ð59 (2012); DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1603/AN11039 ABSTRACT Ground beetles or carabids are collective terms for the beetle family Carabidae. This family contains many species considered important predators associated with agricultural crops. The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of different diet types on consumption, fecundity, and egg viability of Abaris basistriata Chaudoir and Selenophorus seriatoporus Putzeys (Coleoptera: Carabi- dae). The diets assessed were as follows: larvae of Tenebrio molitor L.; minced beef; dry cat food; the greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani); seeds of signal grass, Brachiaria decumbens Stapf; and a diet mixture. Five males and Þve females of each species were kept isolated in a plastic container divided by a silicon barrier, one side being Þlled with sifted soil that was moistened for oviposition and the other lined with Þlter paper to receive the diet. A. basistriata did not consume the B. decumbens seeds. The most consumed diet by A. basistriata and S. seriatoporus adults was T. molitor larvae. S. graminum and T. molitor larvae and diet mixture were considered the diets most favorable for the reproductive capacity of A. basistriata and S. seriatoporus, respectively. However, T. molitor larvae and diet mixture were the most favorable diets for rearing both carabid species in the laboratory.

  • Population Dynamics and Spatial Distribution of Abaris Basistriata

To confirm this hypothesis, we analyzed the spatial distribution of the species and verified the population dynamics of this predator in a soybean/corn rotation crop and a central refuge area. The 1-ha experimental area was divided in half by a range of herbaceous plants (2 m in width and 80 m in length). Beetle samples were collected using pitfall traps every fortnight during the in-season and every month during the off-season (a total of 27 sampling occurrences). Population fluctuation was analyzed by correlating the total number of specimens with plant phenology. We used multiple regression analysis with variable (stepwise) selection to examine the influence of meteorological factors on species occurrence. To determine the spatial distribution, data were analyzed using dispersion indices and probabilistic models based on the Coleoptera frequency distribution.

    30 THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST Vol. 42, Nos. 1 & 2 An Annotated Checklist of Wisconsin Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Peter W. Messer1 Abstract A survey of Carabidae in the state of Wisconsin, U.S.A. yielded 87 species new to the state and incorporated 34 species previously reported from the state but that were not included in an earlier catalogue, bringing the total number of species to 489 in an annotated checklist. Collection data are provided in full for the 87 species new to Wisconsin but are limited to county occurrences for 187 rare species previously known in the state. Recent changes in nomenclature pertinent to the Wisconsin fauna are cited. ____________________ The Carabidae, commonly known as ‘ground beetles’, with 34, 275 described species worldwide is one of the three most species-rich families of extant beetles (Lorenz 2005). Ground beetles are often chosen for study because they are abun- dant in most terrestrial habitats, diverse, taxonomically well known, serve as sensitive bioindicators of habitat change, easy to capture, and morphologically pleasing to the collector. North America north of Mexico accounts for 2635 species which were listed with their geographic distributions (states and provinces) in the catalogue by Bousquet and Larochelle (1993). In Table 4 of the latter refer- ence, the state of Wisconsin was associated with 374 ground beetle species. That is more than the surrounding states of Iowa (327) and Minnesota (323), but less than states of Illinois (452) and Michigan (466). The total count for Minnesota was subsequently increased to 433 species (Gandhi et al. 2005). Wisconsin county distributions are known for 15 species of tiger beetles (subfamily Cicindelinae) (Brust 2003) with collection records documented for Tetracha virginica (Grimek 2009).

Beetles were captured in pitfall traps distributed along two parallel transects of 200 m in length, placed across crop land/forest boundary fragment, with 100 m each. The Shannon-Wiener diversity and evenness indexes and Morisita similarity index were calculated. The carabids Abaris basistriatus Chaudoir, Calosoma granulatum Perty, Megacephala brasiliensis Kirby, Odontochila nodicornis (Dejean) and Selenophorus seriatoporus Putzeys. are dominant and are widely distributed in northeastern São Paulo state, Brazil.

  • INSECTS of MICRONESIA Coleoptera: Carabidae Including Cicindelinae
    INSECTS OF MICRONESIA Coleoptera: Carabidae Including Cicindelinae By P. J. DARLINGTON, JR. MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY, CAMBRIDGE, MAss. INTRODUCTION This report records 29 genera and 48 species ofcarabid beetles from Micro­ nesia. It is based on material received mainly from Bishop Museum (BISHOP), with important but less-extensive lots received from the Field Natural History Museum (FM) and the United States National Museum (US). The first sets of specimens have been returned to the museums from which they were re­ ceived, with appropriate duplicates kept for the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ). Collections made in Micronesia, with names of collectors, are listed in J. L. Gressitt's (1954) Introduction to Insects of Micronesia, pages 193-206. I am very much indebted to Dr. Gressitt and his associates for supplying much of the material on which the present study is based and for aid in many ways, and I am specially indebted to Mrs. Mary Catron for work done with specimens and on the manuscript, and for making the drawings. Other museums named throughout this paper are listed below with the short form for brevity: Berlin University Zoological Museum 2MB British Museum BM Brussels Museum BRUSSELS California Academy of Sciences CAS Copenhagen University Museum COPENHAGEN Fabricius Collection, Kiel Museum Fabricius, KIEL Genoa Civic Museum GENOA Hope Museum, Oxford HOPE Hunter Collection, Glasgow Museum Hunter, GLASGOW Kiel Museum KIEL Moscow University Zoological Museum Moscow National Science Museum, Tokyo NSM - 2 Insects of Micronesia-Vol. 15, No.1, 1970 Oberthiir Collection, Paris Museum Oberthiir, PARIS Prague Museum PRAGUE Stettin Town Museum, Poland STETTIN My methods are in general consistent with those of other entomologists III writing on Micronesian insects.
