Email: [email protected] Abstract The carabid subtribe Cymindidina Laporte, 1834 is reviewed for the southwestern Saudi Arabia. Five species belonging to two genera (Afrotarus Jeannel, 1949 and Cymindis Latreille, 1806) are studied, including two species described as new: A. fadli sp. n. from Baha Province and A. soudaensis sp. n. from Asir Province. A key to genera and species of Saudi Arabia is given. Key words: Coleoptera, Carabidae, Lebiini, Cymindidina, Afrotarus, Cymindis, new species, Saudi Arabia Introduction The Lebiini is a specious carabid tribe with about 891 described species in 86 genera and 17 subtribes known from the Palaearctic region (Kabak 2003), but only 62 species have been recorded from the entire Arabian Peninsula, 43 of these species occur in Saudi Arabia (Mateu 1979, 1986, 1990; Kabak 2003; Felix 2009, 2014; Felix et al., 2012). The subtribe Cymindidina Laporte, 1834 contains about 315 species (Lorenz 2005) with Cymindis Latreille, 1806 as the largest genus with more than 220 taxa. The species of this subtribe are distributed in Afrotropical, Nearctic, Neotropical, Oriental and Palaearctic regions (Bousquet 2012). They are currently classified in eleven genera of which only Afrotarus Jeannel, 1949 and Cymindis Latreille, 1806 have been recorded from Saudi Arabia (Basilewsky 1979; Mateu 1986). Members of the subtribe Cymindidina can be recognized by base of pronotum weakly incised or straight; in some genera ultimate segment of labial palpi in males dilated; fourth tarsal segment not incised; claws sparsely dentate except for some species of subgenus Iscariotes Reiche & Saulcy 1855. The present paper is aimed to provide description of two new species and a key to genera and species that occurr in Saudi Arabia. It also includes illustrations of habitus and main diagnostic characters of the species. Material and method This work is based on fresh adult beetles collected from different localities of southwestern Saudi Arabia (Asir, Baha and Jizan provinces) and deposited materials in the following collections, identified in the text by the following associated acronyms: BMNH British Museum of Natural History, London, UK. KSMA King Saud University Museum of Arthropods, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. MNHN Musée national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, France. MRCA Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren, Belgium. NHMB Natural History Museum Basel, Switzerland. RMNH Naturalis Biodiversity Centre (formerly Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie), Leiden, Netherlands. Accepted by J. Serrano: 14 Dec. 2016; published: 22 Feb. 2017 157 Dissection. The male beetles are dissected using standard techniques. For old specimens, adults were boiled in water for 2–3 minutes for dissection. Genitalia were boiled in 70% KOH after dissection and cleared in Clove oil for 24 hours. After examination, genitalia were preserved in transparent micro–tubes filled with 70% ethanol and pinned beneath the specimens. Illustrations. Photographs of habitus, male genitalia and other diagnostic features were taken using Q– imaging Micro Publisher 5.0 RTV mounted on a LEICA MZ125 trinocular stereomicroscope and stacked images were combined using Zerene Stacker 1.04 (Innovative Solutions, Bucharest, Romania). FEI Inspect S50 model (at Soil Science Department, College of Agriculture and Food Sciences, King Saud University) was used to produce scanning electron microscope (SEM) photos. Measurements. The following parameters were measured using an ocular micrometer in a stereo-binocular microscope: Total body length (TBL): measured from apex of labrum up to the end of abdomen along the mid-line of head, pronotum, and suture of elytra. Length of head (HL): linear distance from apex of labrum to anterior margin of pronotum. Width of head (HW): maximum distance across head including eyes. Length of pronotum (PL): linear distance along mid-line from anterior to posterior margin. Width of pronotum (PW): greatest transverse distance. Length of elytra (EL): linear distance from base of scutellum up to apex of elytra along suture. Width of elytra (WE): greatest linear transverse distance across elytra. Length of aedeagus (AL): measured from base to apex. Data from locality labels are cited verbatim for the type specimens of the newly described species, with label breaks indicated by a slash (“/”). Classification of Taglianti et al. (1999) was followed with some modifications for chorotype identification of each species. The synonyms were cited mainly from Kabak (2003) in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera, and Bousquet (2012). Terms used to designate details of structural characters of species are found in Lindroth (1974), Ball & Hilchie (1983) and Basilewsky (1962, 1968, 1979).

Cymindis (Arrhostus) andreae Ménétriés, 1832 158 · Zootaxa 4236 (1) © 2017 Magnolia Press RASOOL ET AL. Species treatment Afrotarus Jeannel, 1949 Afrotarus is a polytypic genus of Cymindidina, comprising six described species distributed in East Africa, Arabia and Israel (Bousquet 2012). Ball and Hichlie (1983) treated Afrotarus as a subgenus of Cymindis, but later on in Bousquet (2012) Afrotarus is a separate genus. Afrotarus species are very similar to some members of genus Cymindis but can be differentiated from the South Arabian species of the latter by two supraorbital ridges not branched and last labial palpomeres weakly dilated at apex. From the Arabian Peninsula only Afrotarus scotti is known, which was described from Yemen by Basilewsky (1948) and then reported from Saudi Arabia (Mateu 1986). Although the holotype of A. scotti was not found, a paratype specimen from MRCA was examined and compared with Saudi materials preserved in the BMNH, which was identified by Mateu and recently collected during this work. Based on this, the Saudi specimens apparently similar to A. scotti paratype, are designated here as A. soudaensis sp. n. and A. fadli sp. n. Afrotarus fadli Rasool, Felix & Abdel-Dayem sp. n.

    Pacific Insects 5 (4) : 837-847 December 30, 1963 ANISODACTYLUS BINOTATUS FABR., A CARABID BEETLE NEW TO NEW ZEALAND, AND A REVIEW OF THE EXOTIC CARABID FAUNA By R. L. C. Pilgrim DEPT, OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY, NEW ZEALAND Abstract: Anisodactylus binotatus Fabr. 1787 (Col.: Carabidae), an introduced species now established in Canterbury (South Island), New Zealand, is reported for the first time. The literature respecting other carabids sometimes recorded as introduced is reviewed; Ago- nochila binotata (White, 1846), Agonum submetallicum (White, 1846), Hypharpax australasiae (Dejean, 1829) and Pentagonica vittipennis Chaudoir, 1877 are shown to be better considered as endemic to the Australia - New Zealand area. Other species are classed as either native to New Zealand, clearly introduced though not all established, or of doubtful occurrence in New Zealand. Introduction: The Carabidae of New Zealand are predominantly endemic species, but a small number of exotic species has been recorded. This paper reports a further introduc­ tion to the carabid fauna of this country and concludes with a survey of recorded exotic Carabidae in New Zealand. Specimens of the newly-recorded species were collected in domestic gardens in Christ­ church, and were included in a collection sent for identification to Dr. E. B. Britton, British Museum (Nat. Hist.), who kindly drew the writer's attention to the fact that they were so far unreported from New Zealand. Description of adult (from New Zealand specimens) Fig. 1. Anisodactylus binotatus Fabricius, 1787 Color: Head, pronotum, elytra and femora black; tibiae and tarsi light brown to red- black ; palps and antennal segments 1-2 brown, remainder of antennae black; leg spines red-brown; head with small red spot on frons between eyes.

    30 THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST Vol. 42, Nos. 1 & 2 An Annotated Checklist of Wisconsin Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Peter W. Messer1 Abstract A survey of Carabidae in the state of Wisconsin, U.S.A. yielded 87 species new to the state and incorporated 34 species previously reported from the state but that were not included in an earlier catalogue, bringing the total number of species to 489 in an annotated checklist. Collection data are provided in full for the 87 species new to Wisconsin but are limited to county occurrences for 187 rare species previously known in the state. Recent changes in nomenclature pertinent to the Wisconsin fauna are cited. ____________________ The Carabidae, commonly known as ‘ground beetles’, with 34, 275 described species worldwide is one of the three most species-rich families of extant beetles (Lorenz 2005). Ground beetles are often chosen for study because they are abun- dant in most terrestrial habitats, diverse, taxonomically well known, serve as sensitive bioindicators of habitat change, easy to capture, and morphologically pleasing to the collector. North America north of Mexico accounts for 2635 species which were listed with their geographic distributions (states and provinces) in the catalogue by Bousquet and Larochelle (1993). In Table 4 of the latter refer- ence, the state of Wisconsin was associated with 374 ground beetle species. That is more than the surrounding states of Iowa (327) and Minnesota (323), but less than states of Illinois (452) and Michigan (466). The total count for Minnesota was subsequently increased to 433 species (Gandhi et al. 2005). Wisconsin county distributions are known for 15 species of tiger beetles (subfamily Cicindelinae) (Brust 2003) with collection records documented for Tetracha virginica (Grimek 2009).

Bergolc A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2009 Committee: Daniel Pavuk, Advisor Kurt Panter Graduate Faculty Representative Jeff Holland Rex Lowe Moira van Staaden © 2009 Melanie L. Bergolc All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Daniel Pavuk, Advisor Few studies have been performed on coleopteran (beetle) biodiversity in mountain ecosystems and relating them to multiple environmental factors. None of the studies have examined geologic influences on beetle communities. Little coleopteran research has been performed in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The main objectives of this study were to catalog the coleopteran fauna of a subalpine meadow in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado and investigate the role geology had in the community structure of the Carabidae (ground beetles). The study site, a 160,000 m2 plot, was located near Sultan Creek and Molas Lake in San Juan County, Colorado. Five sites were in each bedrock formation: Molas, Elbert, and Ouray-Leadville. Insects were collected via pitfall trapping in 2006 and 2007, and identified by comparison with museum specimens, museum and insect identification websites, and by taxonomic experts. Biological and physical factors were recorded for each site: detritus cover and weight, plant cover and height, plant species richness, aspect, elevation, slope, soil temperature, pH, moisture, and compressive strength, and sediment size distribution.

Received: 16 June 2020; Accepted: 7 July 2020; Published: 9 July 2020 Abstract: Since successful reforestation after the 1970s, Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora) forests have become the most important coniferous forests in Korea. However, the scarcity of evidence for biodiversity responses hinders understanding of the conservation value of Korean red pine forests. This study was conducted to explore the patterns of carabid beetle diversity and assemblage structures between broad-leaved deciduous forests and P. densiflora forests in the temperate region of central Korea. Carabid beetles were sampled by pitfall trapping from 2013 to 2014. A total of 66 species were identified from 9541 carabid beetles. Species richness in broad-leaved deciduous forests was significantly higher than that in pine forests. In addition, the species composition of carabid beetles in broad-leaved deciduous forests differed from that of P.densiflora forests. More endemic, brachypterous, forest specialists, and carnivorous species were distributed in broad-leaved deciduous forests than in P.densiflora forests.
