Ferro Clemson University Arthropod Collection Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences 277 Poole Agricultural Center, Clemson University Clemson, SC 29634-0310 USA [email protected] Abstract. Fourteen new species of faronine pselaphines in the genus Sonoma Casey are described: S. agitator (California); S. cardiac (Oregon); S. carltoni (Oregon); S. cataloochee (North Carolina); S. caterinoi (California); S. chandleri (California); S. cobra (California); S. colberti (California); S. maryae (Oregon); S. quellazaire (Oregon); S. rossellinae (California); S. stewarti (California); S. twaini (California); and S. virgo (California, Oregon). Thirteen are from western North America and one from the eastern U.S. These species bring the total diversity of the genus to 57 species—40 from western North America and 17 from the eastern U.S. A key to, and updated distributions for, all western species are provided. Introduction Members of the genus Sonoma Casey (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae: Faronitae) are small, predacious, chiefl y leaf litter and rotten wood dwelling beetles. An updated taxonomic history was provided in Ferro and Carlton (2010), who also wrote about biology of the group. Recently, Owens et al. (2015) provided a list of Sonoma known from Mount Rainier National Park. After completion of the former manuscript (Ferro and Carlton 2010) the author received requests to provide identifi cations for specimens of Sonoma from western North America, and was invited by Don Chandler to examine several undescribed species of the genus in his collection. As a result of those studies 14 undescribed species were discovered, additional collection localities for described species were obtained (Appendix 1), and genitalia were re-fi gured for nearly all western species. Materials and Methods Specimens of Sonoma were examined from the following institutions. Collections and their acronyms are from Evenhuis (2014). Collection managers and curators are indicated.

Specimen preparation and dissection followed procedures given in Ferro and Carlton (2010). Head, pronotum, elytra, and antennal measurements were taken from slide-mounted specimens when they were available, otherwise measurements were taken from the holotype. All measurements are in mil- limeters. All measurements were taken in the dorsal view and represent the maximum value. The head was measured from the anterior margin of the clypeus to the back of the temples (area of great- est constriction of the occiput), and width was measured at the middle of the eyes. Total length was measured from the holotype and was from the anterior margin of the clypeus to the end of the

    The Coleopterists Bulletin, 71(3): 513–527. 2017. ACHECKLIST OF THE ROVE BEETLES (COLEOPTERA:STAPHYLINIDAE) OF SOUTH CAROLINA,BASED ON PUBLISHED RECORDS MICHAEL S. CATERINO AND MICHAEL L. FERRO Clemson University Arthropod Collection Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences 277 Poole Agricultural Center, Clemson University Clemson, SC 29634-0310, USA [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT A review of the literature revealed 17 subfamilies and 355 species of rove beetles (Staphylinidae) reported from South Carolina. Updated nomenclature and references are provided for all species. The goal of this list is to set a baseline for improvement of our knowledge of the state’s staphylinid fauna, as well as to goad ourselves and others into creating new, or updating existing, regional faunal lists of the world’s most speciose beetle family. Key Words: checklist, regional fauna, biodiversity, Nearctic DOI.org/10.1649/0010-065X-71.3.513 Staphylinidae, the rove beetles, are a megadiverse South Carolina is a rather small, yet diverse state, family of beetles containing more than 62,000 de- ranging from low-lying coastal habitats through a scribed species worldwide. The family is found in variety of mid-elevation communities to montane virtually all terrestrial habitats except in the extreme areas encompassing some of the diversity of higher polar regions. It is the most diverse family across all Appalachia. The easternmost portion of the state is animal groups. Within the Nearctic region (non- within the Atlantic Coastal Plain, a recently rec- tropical North America), about 4,500 species are ognized biodiversity hotspot (Noss 2016) that in- known (Newton et al.

EVOLUTION OF SECONDARY SEXUAL CHARACTERS IN PSELAPHINAE (COLEOPTERA: STAPHYLINIDAE) A D issertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Entomology by Laura María Vásquez Vélez August 2020 Accepted by: Dr. Michael S. Caterino, Committee Chair Dr. Peter Adler Dr. Juan Antonio Baeza Dr. Joseph Parker ABSTRACT Secondary sexual characters (SSC) are traits present only in one sex, commonly on males, and different from the reproductive organs. These characters have evolved mainly through the action of Sexual Selection, the differential mating success of organisms of the same species. Males use SSC to challenge other males for access to females, while females use these traits as signals to choose mates with overall good. SSC can manifest as horns, tusks, enlarged appendages, spines, coloration, and body size. Sexually dimorphic traits are present in all major groups of animals, including Insects. Sexual selection and secondary sexual traits have been proposed to be drivers for speciation on hypothetical bases, but empirical evidence has proven to be inconclusive.

The Pselaphinae is a large subfamily of staphylinid beetles with a characteristic habitus and small body size. Detailed morphological and behavioural studies on these beetles are scarce. In this study, specimens of Bryaxis puncticollis (Denny, 1825), Bryaxis bulbifer (Reichenbach, 1816), Bythinus burrelli (Denny, 1825), Brachygluta fossulata (Reichenbach, 1816), Rybaxis longi- cornis (Leach, 1817), Pselaphus heisei (Herbst, 1792) and Tyrus mucronatus (Panzer, 1803), all collected in Northern Germany, have been examined with regard to their sensory organs (eyes and antennae), mouthparts and method of capturing prey. Scanning electron microscope studies revealed sex-specific differences in the numbers of ommatidia in Bryaxis puncticollis. A multitude of different sensilla on the antennae and great differences in the shape of the mouthparts were observed and peculiarities of the antennae and maxillary palps (e.g., the segment-like appendage) were examined using scanning and transmission electron micros- copy.
