CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE AGRIOTINI OF CHINA. GENERA AGRIOTES ESCHSCHOLTZ, ECTINUS ESCHSCHOLTZ, TINECUS FLEUTIAUX AND RAINERUS GEN. N. (COLEOPTERA, ELATERIDAE, AGRIOTINI) Giuseppe Platia Via Molino Vecchio, 21a, 47043 Gatteo (FC), Italia – [email protected] Abstract: The Agriotes Eschscholtz and Ectinus Eschscholtz of China are revised, with the descriptions, respectively, of 26 and 18 new species. Rainerus, gen. n. with 12 species (11 new), is separated from Ectinus Eschscholtz on the basis of mor- phological characters and particularly the shape of the sclerotic plates of the bursa copulatrix; it also includes two species from Taiwan, one from Myanmar and a new one from Laos. Tinecus Fleutiaux, described with four species from Vietnam, is recorded from China for the first time, with a new species; a further 3 new species are described from Myanmar, Thailand and Laos.

  • Recent Shrinkage and Hydrological Response of Hailuogou Glacier, a Monsoon Temperate Glacier on the East Slope of Mount Gongga, China
    Journal of Glaciology, Vol. 56, No. 196, 2010 215 Recent shrinkage and hydrological response of Hailuogou glacier, a monsoon temperate glacier on the east slope of Mount Gongga, China LIU Qiao,1,2 LIU Shiyin,1 ZHANG Yong,1,3 WANG Xin,1 ZHANG Yingsong,1 GUO Wanqin,1 XU Junli1 1State Key Laboratory of Cryosphere Sciences, Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 320 Donggang West Road, Lanzhou 730000, China E-mail: [email protected] 2Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chengdu 610041, China 3Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Nagoya University, Nagoya 464-8602, Japan ABSTRACT. Temperate glaciers are more sensitive to climate changes than polar or continental glaciers, and can drive remarkable runoff variation in local water catchments. Here we present recent glacier shrinkage and runoff change for Hailuogou glacier, a typical monsoon temperate glacier on the east slope of Mount Gongga (Minya Konga), China. The surface area of Hailuogou glacier has decreased by 3.5% (0.92 km2) between 1966 (aerial photographs) and 2007 (ASTER images). Flow measurements at a stream gauge about 500 m down-glacier commencing in 1994 display a remarkable increase in annual runoff (mostly during July–September) since 1999. Annual runoff over the same period in a non- glacierized but forested subcatchment (9.17 km2) did not experience significant change. By separating the daily rainfall component from the daily total discharge, monthly catchment water-balance series were calculated for the period 1994–2005, which shows an increasing trend of glacier storage loss.

The accelerated retreat of glaciers and the reduction of glacier ice reserves caused by climate change can significantly affect regional water resources and hydrological cycles. Changes in glacier thickness are among the key indicators that reflect this process. We analyzed changes observed in the elevation of glacier surfaces in the Gongga Mountains (GGM) using multi-temporal Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) derived from topographic maps, SRTM, ICESat and ZY-3 data. The results showed that the mean rate of change in glacier surface altitude in the GGM was ∼−26.7 ± 2.03 m − (0.54 ± 0.04 m a 1) between 1966 and 2015. The mean melt rates differed over different time periods, latterly showing an accelerating trend.

New species and additional records from various provinces (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) With 121 figures and 1 map Volker Assing 1 1 Gabelsberger Straße 2, 30163 Hannover, Germany. – [email protected] Published on 2013-06-14 Summary Material of the paederine genus Lathrobium Gravenhorst, 1802 from the Chinese provinces Sichuan, Chongqing, Beijing, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi is examined. Twenty-two species are identified, two of them described previously and nineteen undescribed. Sixteen species are described and illustrated: Lathrobium celere sp. n. (Sichuan: Gongga Shan); L. ventricosum sp. n. (Sichuan: Gongga Shan); L. bibaculatum sp. n. (Sichuan: Erlang Shan); L. bispinigerum sp. n. (Sichuan: Erlang Shan); L. bihastatum sp. n. (Sichuan: Daxiang Ling); L. aspinosum sp. n. (Sichuan: Erlang Shan); L. appendiculatum sp. n. (southern Sichuan); L. fortepunctatum sp. n. (Chongqing: Jinfo Shan); L. jinfoicum sp. n. (Chongqing: Jinfo Shan); L. imminutum sp. n. (Beijing: Dongling Shan); L. parvitergale sp. n. (Zhejiang: Tianmu Shan); L. barbiventre sp. n. (Fujian: Wuyi Shan); L. depravatum sp. n. (Jiangxi: Wuyi Shan: Huanggang Shan); L. cornigerum sp. n. (Jiangxi: Wuyi Shan: Huanggang Shan); L. wuyicum sp. n. (Jiangxi: Wuyi Shan: Huanggang Shan); L. pium sp. n. (Guizhou: Leigong Shan). Four undescribed species from Sichuan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Guizhou remain unnamed, since they are represented exclusively by females. The phylogenetic affiliations of the examined species are discussed. The localities where the newly described species were collected are mapped. Including the newly described taxa, 111 described Lathrobium species are currently known from mainland China.

The mean concentrations of Cd and Pb were 0.034 and 1.291 mg/kg, respectively, in the needles and 0.101 and 2.511 mg/kg, respectively, in the twigs. These concentrations increased significantly with needle and twig age and peaked at 5 years. The twigs were significantly enriched in Pb and Cd compared with the needles. The spatial distributions of Pb and Cd were determined using the inverse-distance- weighted spatial interpolation method on the basis of the mean concentration of the elements in the needles and twigs from each site. The highest concentrations of Pb and Cd in twigs and needles were found in Yunnan Province and Gongga Mountain.

Sixteen elements (Al, Si, S, K, Ca, Cr, Mn, Ti, Fe, Ni, Zn, As, Br, Sb, Pb and Cu) were analyzed Received in revised form 5 August 2012 to investigate their elemental compositions during the pre-monsoon period. The results showed that Ca Accepted 16 August 2012 was the most abundant element in both PM2.5 and TSP samples. The enrichment factors (EFs) of Si, Ti, Ca, Fe, K and Mn were all below 10 for both PM2.5 and TSP, and these elements also had lower PM2.5/TSP ratios Keywords: (0.32–0.34), suggesting that they were mainly derived from crustal sources. Elements Cu, Zn, S, Br and Elements Sb showed strong enrichment in PM2.5 and TSP samples, with their PM2.5/TSP ratios ranging from 0.66 to Enrichment factors Pre-monsoon 0.97, indicating that they were enriched in the fine fractions and influenced by anthropogenic sources.

The ongoing retreat of temperate glaciers is expected to have substantial impacts on the water resources in mountainous environments. Located on the eastern slope of Mount Gongga, China, Hailuogou Catchment is an ideal location to investigate the complex hydrological systems of the proglacial zone. Physical variables (e.g., water temperature) were measured from the main stem of Hailuogou River and its selected tributaries in July 2011. During the recent twenty years, there appears to be a slightly increasing trend of air temperature, whereas precipitation exhibits a slightly decreasing trend. Air temperature shows a decreasing trend with altitude, whereas precipitation has a reverse one. The results of this work indicate that: (i) air temperature is the main factor and precipitation is only the secondary factor regulating the glacial river runoff; (ii) the annual runoff was seasonally well distributed, with a strong summer maximum and a winter minimum; (iii) the increasing trend of water temperature in the main stem with flow distance is mainly caused by mixture from tributary water inputs with relatively higher temperature.. Introduction For many mountain regions, glacier is a key component of the complicated hydrological regime.
