Zaragoza-Caballero) Recibido: 31 julio 2020; aceptado: 17 octubre 2020 Resumen Se presenta un listado actualizado de la familia Oedemeridae en México a partir de la revisión de la Colección Nacional de Insectos (CNIN) y la Florida State Collection of Arthropods (FSCA). Para cada especie se proporcionan el nombre válido, la sinonimias y su distribución geográfica. Se reconocen 3 subfamilias, 3 tribus, 14 géneros y 77 especies, de las cuales Oxacis albolineata, O. sericea, Oxycopis notoxoides, Paroxacis interrita y P. recendita se reportan por primera vez para México. Además, se incorporan 95 registros nuevos a nivel estatal. Los estados con mayor número de especies registradas son: Veracruz (23 especies, 9 géneros), Baja California Sur (20, 4), Sonora (18, 3) y Oaxaca (17, 5). Las provincias con mayor riqueza de especies son: la Veracruzana (27 especies, 8 géneros), Tierra Bajas del Pacífico (21, 7) y Baja Californiana (20, 4). El género con mayor número de especies y distribución es Oxacis (32 especies). El conocimiento de Oedemeridae es limitado, por lo que se requieren más estudios sistemáticos, ecológicos y biogeográficos. Palabras clave: Taxonomía; Tenebrionoidea; Oxacis; Distribución; Biogeografía Abstract An updated list of the family Oedemeridae in Mexico is presented based on the review from the Colección Nacional de Insectos (CNIN) and the Florida State Collection of Arthropods (FSCA). For each species, the valid name, synonymies and geographical distribution are provided. A total of 3 subfamilies, 3 tribes, 14 genera and 77 species are recognized, of which Oxacis albolineata, O. sericea, Oxycopis notoxoides, Paroxacis interrita and P. recendita are reported for the first time in the country. Additionally, 95 new records are incorporated at the state level. The states with the highest number of species recorded are: Veracruz (23 species, 9 genera), Baja California Sur (20, 4), Sonora (18, 3) and Oaxaca (17, 5). The provinces with the highest richness are: the Veracruzan (27 species, 8 ISSN versión electrónica: 2007-8706; Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Instituto de Biología.

The genus with the highest number of species and the widest distribution is Oxacis (32 especies). The knowledge of Oedemeridae is limited, so that a significant increase in systematic, ecological and geographic information is necessary.

PECK and Joyce COOK Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, K1S 5B6, Canada (e-mail: ste'[email protected]). Abstract Extensive new collections contribute new information on the identity and distribution of the oedemerid beetles of the Galiipagos Islands. Specimens previously recorded as near Oxacis pilosa CHAMPION are descn'bed as Oxycopis galapagoensis sp. n. Oxacis pilosa CHAMPION of Guatemala and Nicaragua is transferred to the genus Oxycopis. Hypasclera collenettei (BLAIR) is the most common and widespread species in the islands, and is variable in that it shows significant differences in aedeagus morphology between separate islands. Alloxacis hoodi V AN DYKE is found be a synonym of H. collenettei. H. seymourensis (MUTCHLER) is known only from the central islands. Paroxacis galapagoensis (LINELL) is also widespread. All four Galapagos species are presently considered to be endemic, and each represents a separate ancestral colonization of the archipelago. Keywords: · Hypasclera, Oxycopis, Paroxacis, island insects, endemic species, colonization. Introduction Members of the beetle family Oedemeridae are commonly called the false blister beetles. Adults are found frequently at lights or by sweeping vegetation, and they are obligate pollen feeders (AR.NETT, 1984). Larvae may feed on plant roots or may be inhabitants of moist decaying wood and some may live in salt-soaked driftwood (ARNETT, 1984, KrusKA, 2002). Oedemerids have been described and reported from the Galapagos by several workers: BLAIR (1928; 1933); F'RANZ (1985); LINELL (1898); MUTCHLER (1938); and VAN DYKE (1953).

    RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DEAD WOOD AND ARTHROPODS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES by MICHAEL DARRAGH ULYSHEN (Under the Direction of James L. Hanula) ABSTRACT The importance of dead wood to maintaining forest diversity is now widely recognized. However, the habitat associations and sensitivities of many species associated with dead wood remain unknown, making it difficult to develop conservation plans for managed forests. The purpose of this research, conducted on the upper coastal plain of South Carolina, was to better understand the relationships between dead wood and arthropods in the southeastern United States. In a comparison of forest types, more beetle species emerged from logs collected in upland pine-dominated stands than in bottomland hardwood forests. This difference was most pronounced for Quercus nigra L., a species of tree uncommon in upland forests. In a comparison of wood postures, more beetle species emerged from logs than from snags, but a number of species appear to be dependent on snags including several canopy specialists. In a study of saproxylic beetle succession, species richness peaked within the first year of death and declined steadily thereafter. However, a number of species appear to be dependent on highly decayed logs, underscoring the importance of protecting wood at all stages of decay. In a study comparing litter-dwelling arthropod abundance at different distances from dead wood, arthropods were more abundant near dead wood than away from it. In another study, ground- dwelling arthropods and saproxylic beetles were little affected by large-scale manipulations of dead wood in upland pine-dominated forests, possibly due to the suitability of the forests surrounding the plots.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM Vol. 103 Washington: 1953 No. 3317 BEETLES OF THE OEDEMERID GENUS VASACES CHAMPION By Ross H. Arnett, Jr.^ Champion (1889) described the genus Vasaces for three species from Central America. One species, Vasaces aeneipe'nnis , was described from material from Mexico, and the other two, Vasaces sordidus and Vasaces costatus, were described from Guatemala. Since the completion of my revision of the Nearctic Oedemeridae (Amer. Midi. Nat., vol. 45, pp. 257-391, 1951), I have seen several specimens of Vasaces collected by J. N. Knull in Arizona and Texas. This genus has not previously been recorded from North America, north of Mexico. In addition, a few specimens from Central America, in the collections of the U. S. National Museum and the Museum of Comparative Zoology, have been available to me for study. The present paper, based on all available material, with the excep- tion of the Champion type specimens, adds four new species to the genus. A key to the species is included, and the position of the genus in relation to other oedemerid genera is discussed. I wish to thank Mr. J. N. Knull, Ohio State University, and Dr. P. J. Darlington, Museum of Comparative Zoology, for the loan of material used in this study. 'Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, U. S.

New data on the distribution of 15 species of the family Oedemeridae are presented. Both taxonomical and distributional data omitted and/or published since appearance of Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera, volume 5 are summarised. INTRODUCTION The family Oedemeridae appeared in the volume 5 of the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleo- ptera (Švihla 2008a), where taxonomic and distributional information published before the end of the year 2006 were summarised. Some corrections and additional notes were published by Löbl & Smetana (2010) in the Errata section of the next volume of this series. During the period 2007–2010 several new genera and species were described (Švihla 2008b, c, 2009a; Švihla & Akiyama 2009), new distributional data were published by Brustel & Kakiopoulos (2009), Höjer (2008), Kubisz et al. (2007), Merkl et al. (2010), Švihla (2008c, 2009b) and Yoo et al. (2008), some omitted data were found (Nikitsky 1996) and new data of distribution of Palaearctic species of the family Oedemeridae were discovered. MATERIAL AND METHODS The examined material is deposited in the following collections: CMLC – collection of Christodoulos Makris, Lemesos, Cyprus; NMPC – Národní muzeum, Praha, Czech Republic. The species are ordered according to classification used in the Catalogue (Švihla 2008a).
