ABSTRACT New species of the genus Sogda Lopatin, 1961 from the Iberian Peninsula (Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Leiodinae) A new species of Sogda Lopatin, 1961 from the iberian Peninsula is described and illustrated. Specimens of the type series are from Saladar de Cordovilla (Albacete) and Quero (Toledo). Sogda (Trichohydnobius) ibericus n. sp. shares the set of characters that typify genus Sogda and it is possible to separate this species clearly from the other five known, based on morphological characters listed in the discussion. The Holotype and Paratypes have been deposited in the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid. Key words: Coleoptera; Leiodidae; Leiodinae; Sogda; new species; iberian Peninsula; Spain.

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract Increasing forest management resulting from bark beetle attack in British Columbia's forests has created a need to assess the impact of single species management on local insect biodiversity. In the Fort St James Forest District, in central British Columbia, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Franco) (Fd) grows at the northern limit of its North American range. At the district level the species is rare (representing 1% of timber stands), and in the early 1990's growing populations of the Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsuage Hopkins) threatened the loss of all mature Douglas-fir habitat in the district.

  • Biodiversity of Coleoptera and the Importance of Habitat Structural Features in a Sierra Nevada Mixed-Conifer Forest
    COMMUNITY AND ECOSYSTEM ECOLOGY Biodiversity of Coleoptera and the Importance of Habitat Structural Features in a Sierra Nevada Mixed-conifer Forest 1 2 KYLE O. APIGIAN, DONALD L. DAHLSTEN, AND SCOTT L. STEPHENS Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, 137 Mulford Hall, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720Ð3114 Environ. Entomol. 35(4): 964Ð975 (2006) ABSTRACT Beetle biodiversity, particularly of leaf litter fauna, in the Sierran mixed-conifer eco- system is poorly understood. This is a critical gap in our knowledge of this important group in one of the most heavily managed forest ecosystems in California. We used pitfall trapping to sample the litter beetles in a forest with a history of diverse management. We identiÞed 287 species of beetles from our samples. Rarefaction curves and nonparametric richness extrapolations indicated that, despite intensive sampling, we undersampled total beetle richness by 32Ð63 species. We calculated alpha and beta diversity at two scales within our study area and found high heterogeneity between beetle assemblages at small spatial scales. A nonmetric multidimensional scaling ordination revealed a community that was not predictably structured and that showed only weak correlations with our measured habitat variables. These data show that Sierran mixed conifer forests harbor a diverse litter beetle fauna that is heterogeneous across small spatial scales. Managers should consider the impacts that forestry practices may have on this diverse leaf litter fauna and carefully consider results from experimental studies before applying stand-level treatments. KEY WORDS Coleoptera, pitfall trapping, leaf litter beetles, Sierra Nevada The maintenance of high biodiversity is a goal shared Sierras is available for timber harvesting, whereas only by many conservationists and managers, either be- 8% is formally designated for conservation (Davis cause of the increased productivity and ecosystem and Stoms 1996).

Anaballetus gen. nov., Anaballetus chilensis sp. nov. (tribe Sogdini) and Neohydnobius irregularis sp. nov. (tribe Pseudoliodini), both from Chile, are described and distinguished from related and similar taxa. A key for the identi- fi cation of the described world genera of the tribe Sogdini is presented, and the placement of the new genus is discussed; it is considered most closely related to still-undescribed genera known from Australia and New Zealand. A key is also provided to all described species of Leiodinae known from Chile and Argentina. With the exception of Dietta Sharp, 1876, all of these genera and species of Leio- dinae are endemic (precinctive) to Chile and southern Argentina. Key words.
