It includes 55 taxa under 14 genera and 11 subgenera. Three species, Cylindera (Eriodera) albopunctata (Chaudoir1852), Cicindela viridilabris (Chaudoir 1852) and Neocollyris (Neocollyris) redtenbacheri (Horn 1894) are recorded from Pakistan for the first time.

  • Tiger Beetle Fauna (Coleoptera: Carabidae, Cicindelinae) of Morocco: Distribution, Phenology and List of Taxa
    © Entomologica Fennica. 6 October 2015 Tiger beetle fauna (Coleoptera: Carabidae, Cicindelinae) of Morocco: distribution, phenology and list of taxa Radomir Jasku³a, Tomasz Rewicz & Kajetan Kwiatkowski Jasku³a, R., Rewicz, T. & Kwiatkowski, K. 2015: Tiger beetle fauna (Coleoptera: Carabidae, Cicindelinae) of Morocco: distribution, phenology and list of taxa. Entomol. Fennica 26: 132155. The diversity and distribution of Cicindelinae in Morocco, including new unpub- lished data, is summarized and discussed. In total 17 species are reported from the country. Cicindela campestris campestris is excluded from the Moroccan fauna while the occurrence of Myriochila mirei is doubtful and should be confirmed by new data. The area adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean coast- lines holds the highest species diversity, while mountainous regions are charac- terized by lower diversity but also by high level of species endemism. Grouped on the basis of their chorotypes, Moroccan Cicindelinae fall into six different groups: West Mediterranean (44% of Cicindelinae species), Maghreb endemics (22%), Mediterranean (11%), Saharian (11%), Mediterranean-Westturanian (6%) and Afrotropico-Indo-Mediterranean (6%). According to their phenology, the Moroccan tiger beetles can be divided into three groups: 1) spring active spe- cies, 2) spring-summer active species, and 3) summer active species. R.

Ordo Coleoptera, diambil dari kata coeleos yang berarti seludang dan pteron yang berarti sayap, maka dapat disimpulkan Coleoptera adalah serangga yang memiliki seludang pada sayapnya. Empat puluh persen dari seluruh spesies serangga adalah kumbang (sekitar 350,000 spesies), dan spesies baru masih sering ditemukan. Perkiraan memperkirkan total jumlah spesies, yang diuraikan dan tidak diuraikan, antara 5 dan 8 juta. Kumbang memiliki sayap depan yang keras, tebal dan merupakan penutup bagi sayap belakang dan tubuhnya. Sayap depan disebut elitron. Ketika terbang sayap depan kumbang tidak berfungsi hanya sayap belakang yang digunakan untuk terbang. Sayap belakang berupa selaputdan pada waktu istirahat dilipat dibawah elitra. Tipe alat mulut kumbang yaitu tipe penggigit dan pengunyah, kumbang juga memiliki kepala yang bebas dan kadng memanjang ke depan atau ke bawah sehingga berubah menjadi moncong. Kumbng memiliki mata majemuk (facet) besar, tanpa mata tunggal (ocellus). Abdomen memiliki 10 ruas dan pada daerah sternum ruas-ruas ersebut tidak semua terlihat. Pada kumbang jantan, protoraks dan mandibula kerapkali membesar dan digunakan unuk berkelahi. Kumbang dapat ditemukan hampir di semua habitat, namun tidak diketahui terjadi

  • A Comprehensive Molecular Phylogeny of Tiger Beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Cicindelinae)
    Systematic Entomology (2018), DOI: 10.1111/syen.12324 A comprehensive molecular phylogeny of tiger beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Cicindelinae) HARLAN M. GOUGH1, DANIEL P. DURAN2, AKITO Y. KAWAHARA1 andEMMANUEL F.A. TOUSSAINT1 1Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, U.S.A. and 2Department of Biology, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, U.S.A. Abstract. Tiger beetles are a remarkable group that captivates amateur entomologists, taxonomists and evolutionary biologists alike. This diverse clade of beetles comprises about 2300 currently described species found across the globe. Despite the charisma and scientific interest of this lineage, remarkably few studies have examined its phylogenetic relationships with large taxon sampling. Prior phylogenetic studies have focused on relationships within cicindeline tribes or genera, and none of the studies have included sufficient taxon sampling to conclusively examine broad species patterns across the entire subfamily. Studies that have attempted to reconstruct higher-level relationships of Cicindelinae have yielded conflicting results. Here, we present the first taxonomically comprehensive molecular phylogeny of Cicindelinae to date, with the goal of creating a framework for future studies focusing on this important insect lineage. We utilized all available published molecular data, generating a final concatenated dataset including 328 cicindeline species, with molecular data sampled from six protein-coding gene fragments and three ribosomal gene fragments. Our maximum-likelihood phylogenetic inferences recover Cicindelinae as sister to the wrinkled bark beetles of the subfamily Rhysodinae. This new phylogenetic hypothesis for Cicindelinae contradicts our current understanding of tiger beetle phylogenetic relationships, with several tribes, subtribes and genera being inferred as paraphyletic. Most notably, the tribe Manticorini is recovered nested within Platychilini including the genera Amblycheila Say, Omus Eschscholtz, Picnochile Motschulsky and Platychile Macleay.
