Chandler Department of Zoology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824 ABSTRACT are a The North American species of Amblyderus revised, and key is provided. as a new InAmblyderus Pic is placed synonym of Amblyderus. Six species are redescribed, and one new species, A. owyhee Chandler, is described from the Columbia River Plateau. A checklist of the world species and their distribu tions is included. Lectotypes for Anthicus granularis LeConte, Anthicus pallens LeConte, Amblyderus obesus Casey, Amblyderus albicans Casey and Amblyderus are parviceps Casey designated. The record of Amblyderus from Puerto Rico is a found to be due to misspelling of the genus Amblycerus Thunberg (Family Chrysomelidae, Bruchinae). Amblyderus was proposed originally by LaFert?-S?nect?re (1849a) for two species of Anthicidae from northern Africa. Currently this genus contains 32 species found primarily in coastal dunes along the shores of the Mediterranean region, Africa, India, Sri Lanka, and North America, but also is known from dry inland dune areas in central Africa, India, and now, North America (Weissmann and Kondratieff, 1999). Amblyderus was first recognized inNorth America by Casey (1895), who provided the only revision of the genus. He described six species and added two species described by LeConte (1850) in Anthicus Paykull, which had been found along the shores of Lake Superior. There has been little subsequent work directly treating members of this genus. The genus has been treated in a key to the genera of North American Anthicidae by Werner (1964), and Downie and Arnett (1996) did provide a key to the species in Northeastern North America. A brief note by Werner (1975) placed four of Casey's names as one each to the synonyms, assigning resulting four valid species. Weissmann and Kondratieff (1999) recently described two species from Great Sand Dunes National Monument in Colorado, bringing the number of species inNorth America to six. These are the first North American species known to be restricted to a dune complex not or associated with riverine, marine, lake systems. Wolcott (1936:210; 1951:301) reported an Amblyderus species that Scientific Publication Number 2011 of the New Hampshire Agricul tural Experiment Station This content downloaded from 132.177.228.65 on Fri, 15 Aug 2014 15:39:11 UTC All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions 270 REVISIONOF AMBLYDERUS had been found on the flowers of Randia mitis (= Randta aculeatus L.) and other trees by R. G. Oakley at Ponce, Puerto Rico. Werner (1983:232) as an association with flow questioned this extraordinary discovery, ers or trees has never been encountered for any members of this genus. not to However, he could find the specimens confirm this identifica tion. Michael A. Ivie (Montana State University) has spent consider able time working with the beetle fauna of the Caribbean. He noted (pers. comm.) that the Oakley specimens were sent to the National Museum of Natural History (Washington, D.C) for identification, that Werner had already searched that collection, and that no Amblyderus specimens taken by Oakley could be found. However, he noticed that Kingsolver (1970) reported specimens from the National Museum of Natural History of his newly described species, Amblycerus schw?rzt Kingsolver (Bruchinae, Chrysomelidae), with the appropriate label information (Puerto Rico, Ponce, Sauri Finca, Aug. 8,1931, in flowers of Randia R. G. aculeata L., Oakley). Another species, Amblycerus cerdanicola is at Kingsolver (loc. cit.), also the National Museum of Natural History with appropriate label information, but was taken on - flowers of Cordia probably the "other flowers" originally mentioned by Wolcott. Though Wolcott had to have had the identification slips for these species (as Amblycerus sp., since they were not described species at that time) sent to him before he published his lists of the Puerto Rican fauna (Wolcott, 1936,1951), he does not mention them in the bruchine records. Therefore, the record of Amblyderus from Puerto Rico seems to be based on a misspelling for Amblycerus Thunberg, a member of the bruchine Chrysomelidae. I have been identifying members of Amblyderus for over twenty and the distributions of the eastern are now years, species recognized to be much broader than recorded in the literature. Since Amblyderus has not been revised since Casey (1895), I thought it time to place the two new species described by Weissmann and Kondratieff and a new species described here within the context of a revision of the North American taxa. This leaves only Cyclodinus LaFert?-S?nect?re {-Thicanus Casey) as the last North American genus that has not been examined since Casey's (1895) treatment of the North American fauna. BIOLOGY Members of most species of Amblyderus are found in sand dunes the seacoasts or along margins of freshwater lakes and rivers.

The most thorough treatment of seasonality and habitat preferences of members of Amblyderus was by Ronchetti et al. (1986) for two species on the coast of Somalia. They found that the two for sea or areas species exhibited distinct preference either the margin further back in the dunes, and had their greatest abundance at differ ent times of the year which were associated with rainfall patterns. SYSTEMATICS The North American species are different from the Old World species, in lacking the row of large teeth along the anterior rim of the pronotal disc, which is typical of most of the Old World species, including the type species Anthicus scabricollis LaFert?-S?nect?re from the western Mediterranean. This led Pic (1911a) to create the subgenus Inamblyderus for the North American species, though it has never been used by North American workers, and has been frequently ignored by other workers on the Anthicidae. Later Krekich-Strassoldo (1931) name to elevated this the generic level without discussion, which was followed by Uhmann (1976,1978), while Bonadona (1986) treated it as a subgenus. The African, Mediterranean, and Indian species placed in the have a series of blunt teeth subgenus Amblyderus prominent, along the anterior of the setae are margin pronotal disc, the elytral often suberect, and erect tactile setae are Three Old prominent, present.

  • Ant-Like Flower Beetles (Coleoptera: Anthicidae) of the Uk, Ireland and Channel Isles
    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 23: 2010 99 ANT-LIKE FLOWER BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: ANTHICIDAE) OF THE UK, IRELAND AND CHANNEL ISLES DMITRY TELNOV Stopinu novads, Darza iela 10, LV-2130, Dzidrinas, Latvia; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Anthicidae or ant-like flower beetles of the UK, Ireland and Channel Isles are reviewed. A species list, identification key, short diagnoses and illustrations of all taxa are given. Brief information on known ecological preferences of species is given. Key words: identification, distribution, key, United Kingdom, Ireland, fauna, ecology. INTRODUCTION Anthicidae are a cosmopolitan family of small to medium-sized, fast-moving beetles of the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. Anthicidae are represented in the World fauna by approximately 100 genera, and about 3500 species (Chandler, 2010). Only a few species are known from the fossil record. The last revision of the British Anthicidae was published by F. D. Buck (1954) in the well-known series Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects. Since then, there have been numerous nomenclatural changes within Anthicidae, and some additional species (introduced) have been recorded from the UK, making Buck’s key out of date. During 2004 and 2005 a total of 3356 specimens of Anthicidae from the UK and Ireland were examined by the author, mainly from the collections of The Natural History Museum (London), Oxford University Museum of Natural History and National Museum of Ireland. Additional data for more than 2100 specimens were received from other British museums and private collections between 2005 and 2007. A new key and short diagnoses for the genera are presented, as well as data on habitats and general distribution of species.

Norwegian Journal of Entomology 65, 175–182. Two new beetle species for Norway were recorded from field surveys in power-line clearings located in predominantly forested areas in Southeastern Norway; Cleopomiarus distinctus Boheman, 1845 (Curculionidae), and Stricticollis tobias Marseul, 1879 (Anthicidae). A total of 81 specimens of the weevil C. distinctus, were found across four sites in Buskerud over the course of three years (2013–2015). C. distinctus has never been recorded in Scandinavia previously. Three specimens of the ant-like flower beetle S. tobias, were found at two sites in Hedmark in 2015. S. tobias has a wide distribution in other Nordic countries and has been recognized as a “doorstep-species” to Norway from Sweden. The biology of the two species are presented and the potential distribution of the species are discussed.

  • A Key to the Anthicidae of Hawaii, with One New Species (Coleoptera) L
    310 Proceedings, Hawaiian Entomological Society A Key to the Anthicidae of Hawaii, with One New Species (Coleoptera) l Floyd G. Werner DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, TUCSON, ARIZONA Eight species of Anthicidae have been collected in the Hawaiian Islands, but only one of these on islands other than Oahu. Three species are cosmopolitan, two North American, and two Micronesian. The eighth, described as new, is of unknown origin and most likely belongs to the Oriental or East Indian faunas which are badly in need of revisionary work. It was compared with specimens in the British Museum in 1960, and E. T. Smith, of Melbourne, compared it with the Australian fauna. I describe it as new in hope that someone will recognize it as a member of the fauna he is studying, just as Anthicus mundulus Sharp, described from Honolulu, eventually proved a member of the fauna of coastal California. Most of the specimens reported here are from the collection of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association, kindly sent for study by J. W. Beardsley. The specimens have been returned to this collection unless another source is indicated. Key to Species 1. Each elytron with a distinct pale spot or band behind the middle. 2 Elytra uniformly colored or paler across the base, without a spot or band behind the middle 5 2. Pubescence on elytra dense and double, of decumbent setae directed backward and more numerous fine, short setae beneath them, directed obliquely laterally, in addition to scattered suberect tactile setae. Each elytron with a pale spot behind the base and another behind the middle, the basal spots sometimes con nected across the suture.

Ivanauskas Zoological Museum, Laisv ės. 106, LT-44253 Kaunas, Lithuania E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Beetles of eight species: Anthicus antherinus L., A. ater Panz., A. bimaculatus Ill., A. flavipes Panz., A. sellatus Panz., Cordicomus gracilis Panz., Omonadus formicarius Goeze and Notoxus monoceros L. have been found during our research in the Curonian Spit. Cordicomus gracilis Panz and Omonadus formicarius Goeze are very rare in Lithuania; only single specimens of this species were found on the shore of the Curonian Lagoon during our research. Key words: Anthicidae, Curonian Spit, Lithuania Introduction The most important information on the fauna of Coleoptera of the Curonian Spit was summarized in monographs on Lithuanian beetles (Pileckis, 1976; Pileckis & Monsevi čius, 1995, 1997). Since the appearance of these publications a lot of time has passed, and new data on the Coleoptera of Curonian Spit were published by some other authors (Ferenca 2003, 2004, 2006; Ferenca & Tamutis, 2009; Ferenca et al . 2002, 2006, 2007; Ivinskis et al . 2003, 2009; Ivinskis & Rimšait ė 2005; Šablevi čius 2003, 2004; Tamutis & Ferenca 2006; Tamutis et. al ., 2008) during the period of 2002–2009. Ant- like flowerbeetles (Coleoptera: Anthicidae) are phytosaprophagous, their larvae develop in decayed vegetation (Pileckis &. Monsevi čius, 1997). According to the published data, the fauna of Lithuanian ant-like flowerbeetles comprises a total of 12 species (Pileckis & Monsevi čus, 1997; Barševskis, 2001; Tamutis, 2003).

  • A REVIEW of the ANTHICIDAE of the MALTESE ISLANDS (CENTRAL MEDITERRANEAN) (Coleoptera) Recent Studies Carried out on Collections
    Fragmenta entomologica, Roma. 35 (2): 77-127 (2003) A REVIEW OF THE ANTHICIDAE OF THE MALTESE ISLANDS (CENTRAL MEDITERRANEAN) (Coleoptera) GIANLUCA NARDI (*) and DAVID MIFSUD (**) INTRODUCTION Recent studies carried out on collections of Anthicidae from the Maltese Islands have resulted in new data, which is included in the present work. This study is mostly based on material collected between 1990 and 2003 (ca. 700 specimens) but also on collections (ca. 200 specimens) made at the beginning of last century. The latter collections formed the basis of the Anthicidae list published by Malcom Cameron and Alfredo Caruana Gatto in 1907 on Maltese beetles. HISTORICAL REVIEW The following review is provided due to the fact that previous authors have omitted some works (Caruana Gatto 1893; Cameron 1903; Andres 1916; Krekich-Strassoldo 1919; Koch 1931; Hille 1984; Schembri 1990) that mentioned Anthicidae collected from the Maltese Islands. Only the works that cite with certainty Maltese material are hereunder included; works (e.g. Luigioni 1929) which most probably repeated earlier references are not included. The Maltese naturalist Alfredo Caruana Gatto (1893) in his work entitled "Common beetles of the Maltese Islands" published the first records of Anthicidae from the Maltese Islands. In this work, five species were mentioned. Pic (1903a) described Anthicus (Aulacoderus) melitensis on the (*) Centro Nazionale per 10 Studio e la Conservazione della BiodiversWt Forestale - Corpo Forestale della Stato.
