Five male specimens of Cautires apterus sp. nov. were discovered by sifting forest litter in a very small (approximately 300 meters by 50 meters) Kamwala Forest within the North Pare Mountains, Tanzania. Besides being wingless, males of C. apterus sp. nov. have remarkably small body, shortened elytra and reduced pronotal and elytral costae. Generic assignment of this externally unusual new species is based on the molecular phylogenetic analysis, the structure of the male genitalia and the shape of the pronotum. We discuss biological and evolutionary significance of the discovery and suggest that the winglessness of male lycid beetles correlates with the female neoteny.

The species recorded belong to three genera (Paracoelopterus, Serangium and Pharoscymnus) out of three tribes (Microweiseini, Serangiini and Sticholotidini). The largest and least numbers of species were found in the genera Pharoscymnus and Serangium, respectively. Among the species, Pharoscymnus ovoideus and Serangium montazerii were the most frequently recorded. Among provinces, Fars province had most records.

Several other species have a slightly wider geographical distribution, apart from the Canaries, which also includes some islands of the nearby archipelagos, such as Madeira or the Azores, or the northwestern periphery of Africa. Here, we call such species subendemics. However, the Canary Islands have recently been colonized by a substantial number of immigrants from more or less remote areas. In this paper, based on our field survey and previously published data, we analyzed the fauna of the ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae) of Gran Canaria, one of the central islands of the archipelago. Among 42 ladybird beetle species so far recorded on this island, 17 (40%) are endemics and subendemics, and 21 (50%) probably arrived in Gran Canaria relatively recently, i.e., in the 20th and 21st century.

Box 37012, Washington, DC 20013- 7012. USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Hispaniolan genus Bura Mulsant is removed from Coccidulinae and placed in Sticholotidinae. The characteristics which justify this transfer are discussed and an historical review of the classification of the Sticholotidinae is presented. Bura is diagnosed and redescribed, and its affinities to other Sticholotidini are discussed. Illustrations of key generic characters are provided. Key words: taxonomy, phylogeny, Coccinellidae, Sticholotidinae, Coccidulinae, Hispaniola Introduction The ladybirds of Hispaniola comprise a neglected fauna whose critical study promises to bring to light many new and interesting forms. Nonetheless, the authors were surprised to encounter in recently collected material a rather abundant and good sized (2.8–3.2 mm) metallic green to blue sticholotidine that was not listed among the documented species from the island. This puzzling omission was soon explained when a matching series from the Smithsonian National Insect Collection labeled "Bura cuprea Mulsant" was discovered with curated material placed in the subfamily Coccidulinae.

In order to identify major clades within Coccinellidae, evaluate the current classifica- Accepted 12 March 2011 tion system, and identify likely drivers of diversification in this polyphagous group, we conducted the Available online xxxx first simultaneous Bayesian analysis of morphological and multi-locus molecular data for any beetle fam- ily. Addition of morphological data significantly improved phylogenetic resolution and support for early Keywords: diverging lineages, thereby better resolving evolutionary relationships than either data type alone. On the Coccinellidae basis of these results, we formally recognize the subfamilies Microweisinae and Coccinellinae sensu S´li- Cucujoidea Phylogeny pin´ ski (2007). No significant support was found for the subfamilies Coccidulinae, Scymninae, Sticholotid- Radiation inae, or Ortaliinae. Our phylogenetic results suggest that the evolutionary success of Coccinellidae is in Diversification large part attributable to the exploitation of ant-tended sternorrhynchan insects as a food source, enabled by the key innovation of unusual defense mechanisms in larvae.
