Peck,1 Joyce Cook Department of Biology, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1S 5B6 Abstract—This paper completes a review and revision of the tribe Anemadini in North Amer- ica, covering the subtribe Eocatopina (new for North America), with the genus Neoeocatops gen. nov. containing one species, and the subtribe Nemadina, with the genus Nemadus Thomson con- taining 12 species. Species are forest inhabitants feeding on carrion and other decaying materials, may occur in caves, or are myrmecophiles occupying the nests of formicine ants, mostly of the genera Formica L. and Camponotus Mayr. The following new synonyms are recognized: N. ellipticus Jeannel, 1936 = N. horni Hatch, 1933 and N. obliquus Fall, 1937 = N. triangulum Jeannel, 1936. Lectotypes are designated for Catops brachyderus LeConte, 1863, Catops pusio LeConte, 1859, and Choleva decipiens Horn, 1880. New species are Nemadus browni Peck and Cook, sp. nov., N. criddlei Peck and Cook, sp. nov., and N. falli Peck and Cook, sp. nov.

Six genera outside this core area, most notably Platycholeus Horn, 1880 in the western United States and others in East Asia, have been assumed to be related to Lepto- dirini.

  • Characteristics for Identification of Larval Cholevinae (Coleoptera: Leiodidae)
    February-July 2015, 24 EC Characteristics for identifcation of larval Cholevinae 1 Characteristics for identification of larval Cholevinae (Coleoptera: Leiodidae) SUSANNE PINTO (student number: 1308041) BSc Research Project Report, Biology, Leiden University, The Netherlands Research group: Terrestrial Zoology, Naturalis Biodiversity Center Supervised by Prof. Dr. M. (Menno) Schilthuizen (professor of Character Evolution & Biodiversity) Contact person for lab journal/raw data: [email protected] Format of the article: Systematic Entomology I. Abstract. Cholevinae (Kirby, 1837) is a subfamily of Leiodidae (Coleoptera). Cholevinae species live in caves or nests and tunnels of mammals and ants. These insects are non-specialised saprophagous beetles. The larvae feed from decaying animal matter, they eat the fungal spores and mycelium. The Cholevinae species have their own time schedule of when they feed on decaying matter. Some like ‘fresh’ decaying matter, others wait till there is hardly any matter left. These varied preferences could lead to different mouth and/or jaw developments. Other specifc morphologies are due to isolation. Living in caves or animal nests causes many morphological modifcations, these modifcations are called troglomorphic characteristics. Possible troglomorphic characteristics are: lengthening of appendages, loss of pigment, modifcation of eyes, modifed olfactory sensory organs, extra sensory structures and elongated legs (used as feelers). Identifcation of the species is not easy. The beetles and larvae are small to very small (0.8 – 9 mm), brown, grey or black. The differences between adult species are very subtle. This also applies to the larvae. The larvae have an elongated body, long legs, striking cerci and ten abdominal segments. It is known that the larvae of Cholevinae have three larval instars.

Milne4, Nicholas S. Gladstone5, Annette S. Engel6, John B. Jensen7, Carlos D. Camp8, James C. Ozier9, and Alan Cressler10 Abstract We provide an annotated checklist of species recorded from caves and other subterranean habitats in the state of Georgia, USA. We report 281 species (228 invertebrates and 53 vertebrates), including 51 troglobionts (cave-obligate species), from more than 150 sites (caves, springs, and wells). Endemism is high; of the troglobionts, 17 (33 % of those known from the state) are endemic to Georgia and seven (14 %) are known from a single cave. We identified three biogeographic clusters of troglobionts. Two clusters are located in the northwestern part of the state, west of Lookout Mountain in Lookout Valley and east of Lookout Mountain in the Valley and Ridge. In addition, there is a group of tro- globionts found only in the southwestern corner of the state and associated with the Upper Floridan Aquifer. At least two dozen potentially undescribed species have been collected from caves; clarifying the taxonomic status of these organisms would improve our understanding of cave biodiversity in the state.

The structure of the traps and the operation in the field are presented. Apteroloma discicolle discicolle (LEWIS), Catops hilleri KRAATZ, C. miensis miensis NA- KANE, Mesocatops japonicus (JEANNEL), Sciodrepoides tsukamotoi NAKANE, and Ptomaphagus (Pto- maphagus) kuntzeni SOKOLOWSKI were collected from underground non-cave habitats for the first time. The performance of the trap is discussed, and the beetles collected are discussed in relation to their habitat diversity. The dispersal of cave-dwelling cholevines in Shikoku is briefly described using a model species, Catops hisamatsui. Introduction A soil-dwelling beetle fauna may consist of a combination of litter-dwelling, soil-limited endoge- an and hypogean beetles and cave-dwelling beetles. So-called cave-dwelling beetles are well known to also occur habitats other than caves; e.g., in the upper hypogean zone, narrow spaces of fractured rocks, and in colluvial and talus slopes (GIACHINO et al., 1998).
