Description of Use(s): Environmental education, interpretation, wildlife observation, and photography are priority public uses of the National Wildlife Refuge System. As proposed, they would occur from outside the protective fence or under controlled visits inside the protective fence since the Refuge is otherwise closed to the public. Antioch Dunes NWR provides an opportunity for increasing awareness of the two endangered plants and one endangered insect species on the Refuge through guided tours and interpretive programs and information. -

Synopsis of Ochthebius LEACH from Mainland China, with descriptions of 23 new species (Coleoptera) M.A. JÄCH Abstract The species of Ochtlwhius LtiACII (Coleoptera: Ilydracnidae) from Mainland China are revised taxonomically; a total of 41 species is recorded; 23 species are described as new to science: O. (Asiobates) Jlagel lifer, O. (Enicocenis) exiguus, O. (£".) nigraspenilus, O. (E.) obesus, O. (E.) rotwulcitus, O. (s.str.) amlreasi, O. (s.str.) andreasoides, O. (s.str.) argentatus, O.

One new synonymy is proposed: Ochthebius (s.str.) opacipennis CHAMPION, 1920 (= O. exilis Pu, 1958). Ochthebius orientalis JANSSHNS, 1962 is considered as a possible junior synonym of O. flexus PL), 1958. Ochthebius salebrosus Pu is transferred from subgenus Enicocenis STRPHÜNS to Ochthebius s.str. The genus Ochthebius is recorded for the first time from Gansu and Fujian. Ochthebius klapperichi JÄCH is recorded for the first time from China (Yunnan) and Myanmar. Ochthebius unimaculatus Pu is recorded for the first time from Gansu. Ochthebius lobatus Pu is recorded for the first time from Jilin, Liaoning and Yunnan. Ochthebius maiinus (PAYKULI.) is recorded for the first time from Nei Mongol and Shandong. -

Biodiversity of New Zealand beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera). Memoirs of the Museum of Victoria 56(2): 659-666. Approximately 5235 species are described for New Zealand, including 354 introduced. They belong to 82 families in two suborders, Adephaga and Polyphaga. The New Zealand beetle fauna is distinguished by the absence of many major lineages, a high level of endem- ism. which in many groups is over 90% at the specific level and over 43% at the generic level (e.g.. Staphylinidae), and the radiation of many groups of genera and species. The origins of New Zealand's beetle fauna are still poorly understood. They are likely to be varied, includ- ing Gondwanan elements and elements which arrived here by short and long-distance dispersal recently and in the remote past. The size of the New Zealand beetle fauna is con- sistent with species number/land area relationships in other areas around the world. Introduction Zealand beetles is that of Kuschel (1990), in the suburb of Lynfield, Auckland, in which 982 The beetles are the largest order of organisms, beetle species were recorded in a diverse veg- with over 350 000 described species world- etation including remnant forest, pastureland, wide. and suburban garden. -

A key mission of this facility is to provide a research and learning experience in the Chihuahuan Desert. We hope that this manual will assist you in planning your research and learning activities. You will probably be given a short lecture by the station Director upon entering the station. Please pay attention as IMRS is not without potential hazards and some long-term research projects are underway that could be disturbed if one is careless. Indio Mountains Research Station came into being as a result of the generosity of a benefactor and the far-sighted vision of former UTEP President Haskell Monroe. Upon his death in 1907, the will of Boston industrialist Frank B. -

www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A gigantic marine ostracod (Crustacea: Myodocopa) trapped in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber Received: 16 November 2017 Lida Xing 1,2, Benjamin Sames 3,4, Ryan C. McKellar5,6, Dangpeng Xi1,2, Ming Bai7 & Accepted: 9 January 2018 Xiaoqiao Wan1,2 Published: xx xx xxxx The mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (~99 Ma, Myanmar), widely known for exquisite preservation of theropods, also yields microfossils, which can provide important contextual information on paleoenvironment and amber formation. We report the frst Cretaceous ostracod in amber—the gigantic (12.9 mm) right valve of an exclusively marine group (Myodocopa: Myodocopida) preserved in Burmese amber. Ostracods are usually small (0.5–2 mm), with well-calcifed carapaces that provide an excellent fossil record extending to at least the Ordovician (~485 million years ago), but they are rarely encountered in amber. The new specimen efectively doubles the age of the ostracod amber record, ofering the frst representative of the Myodocopa, a weakly calcifed group with a poor fossil record. Its carapace morphology is atypical and likely plesiomorphic. The preserved valve appears to be either a moulted exuvium or a dead and disarticulated specimen, and subsequent resin fows contain forest foor inclusions with terrestrial arthropods, i.e., fragmentary remains of spiders, and insect frass. These features resolve an enigmatic taphonomic pathway, and support a marginal marine setting for resin production. Ostracods are aquatic microcrustaceans, with a calcareous, bivalved shell (carapace) that can enclose the whole body and all appendages. Few Mesozoic to Recent taxa exceed 3 mm in size and these are termed ‘gigantic’ ostra- cods, such as species of the living marine planktonic genus Gigantocypris (subclass Myodocopa, up to around 30 mm), or of the non-marine genus Megalocypris (subclass Podocopa, 5–8 mm in size).
