A survey of Wisconsin Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) conducted from literature searches, collection inventories, and three years of field work (1997-1999), yielded 177 species representing nine families, two of which, Ochodaeidae and Ceratocanthidae, represent new state family records. Fifty-six species (32% of the Wisconsin fauna) represent new state species records, having not previously been recorded from the state. Literature and collection distributional records suggest the potential for at least 33 additional species to occur in Wisconsin.

South Carolina Department of Natural Resources
FOREWORD Abundant fish and wildlife, unbroken coastal vistas, miles of scenic rivers, swamps and mountains open to exploration, and well-tended forests and fields…these resources enhance the quality of life that makes South Carolina a place people want to call home. We know our state’s natural resources are a primary reason that individuals and businesses choose to locate here. They are drawn to the high quality natural resources that South Carolinians love and appreciate. The quality of our state’s natural resources is no accident. It is the result of hard work and sound stewardship on the part of many citizens and agencies. The 20th century brought many changes to South Carolina; some of these changes had devastating results to the land. However, people rose to the challenge of restoring our resources. Over the past several decades, deer, wood duck and wild turkey populations have been restored, striped bass populations have recovered, the bald eagle has returned and more than half a million acres of wildlife habitat has been conserved. We in South Carolina are particularly proud of our accomplishments as we prepare to celebrate, in 2006, the 100th anniversary of game and fish law enforcement and management by the state of South Carolina. Since its inception, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) has undergone several reorganizations and name changes; however, more has changed in this state than the department’s name. According to the US Census Bureau, the South Carolina’s population has almost doubled since 1950 and the majority of our citizens now live in urban areas.

Quick Guide for the Identification Of
Quick Guide for the Identification of Maryland Scarabaeoidea Mallory Hagadorn Dr. Dana L. Price Department of Biological Sciences Salisbury University This document is a pictorial reference of Maryland Scarabaeoidea genera (and sometimes species) that was created to expedite the identification of Maryland Scarabs. Our current understanding of Maryland Scarabs comes from “An Annotated Checklist of the Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) of Maryland” (Staines 1984). Staines reported 266 species and subspecies using literature and review of several Maryland Museums. Dr. Price and her research students are currently conducting a bioinventory of Maryland Scarabs that will be used to create a “Taxonomic Guide to the Scarabaeoidea of Maryland”. This will include dichotomous keys to family and species based on historical reports and collections from all 23 counties in Maryland. This document should be cited as: Hagadorn, M.A. and D.L.

La investigación en biodiversidad y conservación en México ha avanzado en gran medida porque están vinculadas a la existencia de estaciones biológicas, reservas de la biosfera o áreas naturales protegidas. El Centro de Investigaciones Costeras La Mancha (CICOLMA) es una de las estaciones pioneras del país en la investigación de ecosistemas costeros, sin embargo, los estudios sobre la fauna de escarabajos en esta área han sido mínimos. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue documentar la fauna de Scarabaeoidea presente en el CICOLMA de abril de 2003 a marzo de 2004, donde se realizaron colectas de escarabajos con técnicas directas e indirectas. Se obtuvo una muestra de 865 individuos de Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea, de las familias Cetoniidae, Melolonthidae, Passalidae, Scarabaeidae y Trogidae, que representan 66 especies de 41 géneros.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Geotrupidae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) Based on Larvae
Systematic Entomology (2004) 29, 509–523 Phylogenetic analysis of Geotrupidae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) based on larvae JOSE´ R. VERDU´ 1 , EDUARDO GALANTE1 , JEAN-PIERRE LUMARET2 andFRANCISCO J. CABRERO-SAN˜ UDO3 1Centro Iberoamericano de la Biodiversidad (CIBIO), Universidad de Alicante, Spain; 2CEFE, UMR 5175, De´ partement Ecologie des Arthropodes, Universite´ Paul Vale´ ry, Montpellier, France; and 3Departamento Biodiversidad y Biologı´ a Evolutiva, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC), Madrid, Spain Abstract. Thirty-eight characters derived from the larvae of Geotrupidae (Scarabaeoidea, Coleoptera) were analysed using parsimony and Bayesian infer- ence. Trees were rooted with two Trogidae species and one species of Pleocomidae as outgroups. The monophyly of Geotrupidae (including Bolboceratinae) is supported by four autapomorphies: abdominal segments 3–7 with two dorsal annulets, chaetoparia and acanthoparia of the epipharynx not prominent, glossa and hypopharynx fused and without sclerome, trochanter and femur without fossorial setae. Bolboceratinae showed notable differences with Pleocomidae, being more related to Geotrupinae than to other groups. Odonteus species (Bolboceratinae s.str.) appear to constitute the closest sister group to Geotrupi- nae. Polyphyly of Bolboceratinae is implied by the following apomorphic char- acters observed in the ‘Odonteus lineage’: anterior and posterior epitormae of epipharynx developed, tormae of epipharynx fused, oncyli of hypopharynx devel- oped, tarsal claws reduced or absent, plectrum and pars stridens of legs well developed and apex of antennal segment 2 with a unique sensorium. A ‘Bolbelas- mus lineage’ is supported by the autapomorphic presence of various sensoria on the apex of the antennal segment, and the subtriangular labrum (except Eucanthus). This group constituted by Bolbelasmus, Bolbocerosoma and Eucanthus is the first evidence for a close relationship among genera, but more characters should be analysed to test the support for the clade.

Reproductive Behaviour and Development of the Dung Beetle Typhaeus Typhoeus (Coleoptera, Geotrupidae)
REPRODUCTIVE BEHAVIOUR AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE DUNG BEETLE TYPHAEUS TYPHOEUS (COLEOPTERA, GEOTRUPIDAE) by LIJBERTBRUSSAARD Dept. of Animal Ecology and Dept. of Soil Science & Geology, Agricultural University, Wageningen, The Netherlands . ABSTRACT This paper is part of a study of the contribution of dung beetles to soil formation in sandy soils. Typhaeus typhoeus (Linnaeus) has been selected because it makes deep burrows and is locally abundant. The beetles are active from autumn until spring, reproduction takes place from February to April. Sex pheromones probably influence pair formation. The sexes co operate in excavating a burrow (up to 0.7 m below surface) and in provisioning the burrow with dung as food for the larvae. Co-operation is reset by scraping each other across the thorax or elytra. Dung sausages, appr. 12.5 cm long and 15 mm in diameter, are manufac tured above each other. Development is rapid at 13—17°C. The life cycle is accelerated by a cold period in the third larval stage. These requirements are met by soil temperatures up to 15° C in summer and down to 5 °C in winter. The life cycle lasts two years, but longer under certain conditions. Newly hatched beetles make their way to the surface through the soil, but do not follow the old shaft. Adults reproduce only once. Differential rate of com pletion of the life cycle and occasional flying probably reduce the risk of local extinction. The study is thought to be relevant for behavioural ecology and soil science. CONTENTS tion of how much dung beetles contribute to Introduction 203 soil formation today.
