ARPHA Conference Abstracts 2: e39674. https://doi.org/10.3897/aca.2.e39674 Abstract Morimus asper funereus is a protected longhorn beetle species of community interest and conservation importance. It is included in Annex II of the Habitats Directive (as M. funereus) and protected under the Bulgarian Biodiversity Act. Although this saproxylic beetle is widespread in old-growth forests or well-structured woodlands in Central and Southeast Europe, its populations are currently threatened by forest practices, such as the removal of wood (branches and logs) (Hardersen et al. 2017). The species is with limited dispersal ability (due to lack of wings) and is very likely to possess very isolated and localized populations. In addition, M. asper funereus is of considerable interest from a taxonomic point of view with unclear taxonomic status for as much as Morimus asper is a morphologically highly variable species. At present, at least three species/subspecies of the genus Morimus are known from the territory of Bulgaria - Morimus asper, M. -
Instructions for Field Inventory of Fauna
Instructions for Field Inventory of Fauna Listed under Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC Annexes Introduction Aim of the following instructions is to provide guidance for field inventory of animal species in Montenegro listed under the annexes of the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC, especially those of Annex II, which are subject of designation of the Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) ref. Article 3 of the Directive. The list of target animal species for the field inventory in Montenegro is included in Appendix 1 and is based on the national reference list of Habitats Directive species for Montenegro prepared in the framework of the project „Serbia, Montenegro and Natura 2000: Strengthening the Capacity of Governments and Civil Sector to Adapt to EU Nature Protection Acquis“. The instructions do not provide guidance on the field techniques to be used to determine/record presence of the particular species or taxonomical groups. Selection of appropriate field methods as well as acquisition of necessary permits for field research (eg. when the research is carried out in protected areas) from national or other authorities are solely within the remit of the researcher. Definition of mapping object Aim of the field inventory of fauna is to deliver reliable and up-to-date information about the distribution of target species in Montenegro, status of their population and habitats, through mapping of their localities of occurrence. As a species locality, a distinguishable part of the landscape can be considered, usually delimited by natural borders such as a meadow, a forest fragment or section, a river section, a river valley etc. -

ABSTRACT The observations conducted between May and October 2014 in the protected area "The Forests in the Southern part of Cândeşti Piedmont" clearly show three species of protected saproxylic beetles: Lucanus cervus, Cerambyx cerdo and Morimus asper funereus. The Quercus forests, which are dominant in that area, ensure optimal living conditions for the species L. cervus and M. asper funereus, which are common species in this site. Several aspects are presented that concern the period of activity of the individuals, sex ratio, the presence of predators and the distribution map of the species. The species C. cerdo was only found on Quercus sp, and the small number of the individuals counted in the area show that the species does not benefit from favourable development conditions. A number of pressures identified make the rational management of this protected area to be extremely important. INTRODUCTION Saproxylic insects have a major role in the degradation of dead wood. Speight (1989) (in Buse et al., 2007) defines saproxylic insects as “invertebrates dependent, in their life cycle, on dead wood or very old trees”. -

ZooKeys 604: 49–85. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.604.9049 Abstract The genus Pseudoechthistatus Pic, 1917 is redefined and revised. Five species of the genus are described as new, P. sinicus sp. n. and P. chiangshunani sp. n. from central Yunnan, China, P. pufujiae sp. n. from west- ern Yunnan, China, and P. holzschuhi sp. n. and P. glabripennis sp. n. from southern Yunnan and northern Vietnam. Pseudoechthistatus birmanicus Breuning, 1942 is excluded from the fauna of China. Three poorly known species, P. obliquefasciatus Pic, 1917, P. granulatus Breuning, 1942, and P. acutipennis Chiang, 1981 are redescribed, and the type localities of the former two species are discussed. Endophallic structure of seven species in inflated and everted condition are studied and compared with their relatives. -
