Elytra, Tokyo,35(1): 194-204, May30, 2007 A nfesA Revisio o us th Genu F,ormosotoxot (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Apatophyseinae), with Description of a NewSpeciesfromSikkim Nobu0OHBAYASHI Entomological Laboratory,Facultyof Agriculture, Ehime Uni versi ty , Tarumi,Matsuyama,790-8566 Japan Abstract The cerambycid genus F,ormosotoxotus is revised. Fo r, n oso to:xo tus masataka1 sp no v. is desc r ibed fromSik ki m, and F fulvopi1osus HAYAsHI, 1979 is synonymized wi th F malayanus HAYAsHI, 1977. The systemat ic posi tion of thegenus is discussed and it is placed in the subfamily Apatophyseinae. Introduction On my shor t t rip to Paris made in 2005, I found a very old specimen belonging to thegenusFormosotoxotusin thecollectionof theMuseumnationald'Histoirenature11e. After acareful examination, it wasconcludedthat thespecimenbelongedtoaspecies new to science. Alongwithdescriptionofthenewspecies,I takethisopportunity to revisebriefly thegenusFormosotoxotusandbestowsomeconsiderationson itssystematic position. Tax onomic placement of the species of Formosoto:x;otus has frequently changed. KANO(1933) descr ibed the first speciesoxotinusauripi1osusfromTaiwanasaclose「 relativeof To:)cotinus reini1HEYDEN. In thesameyear, MATSUSHITA (1933) described Ar tel id a aslatica from Taiwan (the genusArtelida had been used unt il then exclusively for Madagascan species). GRESSITT (1951) placed T1oxotinus auripi1osus in the genus To:x;otus (subgenus To:xotinus) o fh te Stenocorini. Simultaneously he erected a new genus Paranthophylax (inXy1osteini) foranewspecies,P.sericeus(designatedasthetypespecies)andP asla ticus , tra nsferred to this genus fromArtelida. Paranthophylax is currently regarded .ERIADROC AL suegopyr as a juniO「 InTl960, HAYAsHI sune g eh t fomynon Sy sy n ony m ized Artelida aslatlca with Toxotinus auripi1osus and established a new genus F, ormo so tox ot us fo r lt. Since then, five more species were added to the genus F,ormoso- t();)cetus, viz., Fmalayanus HAYAsHI,1977 and F fulvopi1osus HAYAsHI,1979, from Malaysia, F. uenoi N. 0HBAYAsHI, l 995, f rom Kalimantan, Indonesia, F takaoi NIISATo, 1996, from North Vietnam, and Fnobuoi VI vEs et N IIsATo, 2006, from Nepal. Up to n ow , all the authors regarded those species as members of the subfamily RevisionoftheGenus.Formosotoxot11s 195 Lepturinae except JENIS (2001) who illustrated an unidentified Malayan species of F,or mo so to:foe t u s an d placed it, without proper explanation, in the Apatophyseinae, together withmany Madagascanspecies, theAfricanDorcasomusSERvILLEandCapo- te;xotus rugosus TIPPMANN, and the Or iental genera Prota-x;is GAHAN and Trypogeus LA coRDAIRE. The subfami ly Apatophysinae LAcoRDAIRE was erected by DA N ILEvsKY (1979) for a single genus, Apatophysis CHEvRo LAT, main ly based on the larval morphology (original LAcoRDAIRE's Apatophysides included also the Sou th AfricangenusPachytt'conTHOMSONandtheOreintalTrypogeuswhoselarvaewereand still are unknown). The correct spelling of the subfamily name apparently shou ld be Apatophyseinae, first used by LoBANov et a1. (1981). So far there have been few external adult characters dist inguishing the Apatophyseinae from other subfamilies. However, the subfamily could be characterized by a combination of stridulatory file of me sonotum , hind wing venation and male genitalia (personal unpublished results) . Ba se d on m yst u dy of h ind wing venat ion and male geni tal ia, I conclude that the genus F, o r mo soto:x:otus is closely rel ated to Apatophysls, and thus it belongs to the subfami ly Apatophyseinae. Th is s h o rt pap er is dedicated to the memory of the late Prof. Dr. Masataka SAT0, who was one of th e most prominent Japanese coleopterist, and also had been my closest sen io r like a brother since fifty years ago.

Thesis, in Czech]. Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, České Budějovice, Czech Republic. 34 pp. Annotation This study uses cca. 510 bp of mitochondrial 16S rDNA gene for phylogeny of the beetle family Cerambycidae particularly the subfamilies Spondylidinae and Lepturinae using methods of Minimum Evolutin, Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Analysis. Two included representatives of Dorcasominae cluster with species of the subfamilies Prioninae and Cerambycinae, confirming lack of relations to Lepturinae where still classified by some authors. The subfamily Spondylidinae, lacking reliable morfological apomorphies, is supported as monophyletic, with Spondylis as an ingroup. Our data is inconclusive as to whether Necydalinae should be better clasified as a separate subfamily or as a tribe within Lepturinae. Of the lepturine tribes, Lepturini (including the genera Desmocerus, Grammoptera and Strophiona) and Oxymirini are reasonably supported, whereas Xylosteini does not come out monophyletic in MrBayes. Rhagiini is not retrieved as monophyletic. Position of some isolated genera such as Rhamnusium, Sachalinobia, Caraphia, Centrodera, Teledapus, or Enoploderes, as well as interrelations of higher taxa within Lepturinae, remain uncertain.

Box 7, Chiang Mai 50180, Thailand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (P.S.); [email protected] (W.S.) Simple Summary: Longhorn beetles are a large family of beetles and have a wide-geographic distribution. Some of them are pests of many economic plants and invasive species. They also play roles in decomposition and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. They feed on living, dying, or dead woody plants in the larval stage. So far, 308 species of longhorn beetles have been reported from northern Thailand. However, the biodiversity and distribution of longhorn beetles in different elevation gradients and seasons, associated with environmental factors across six regions in the country, has not yet been investigated. In this study, longhorn beetle specimens were collected by malaise trap from 41 localities in 24 national parks across six regions in Thailand. A total of 199 morphospecies were identified from 1376 specimens. Seasonal species richness and abundance of longhorn beetles peaked during the hot and early rainy season in five regions, except for the southern region, which peaked in the rainy season.

Cerambycidae is a species-rich family of mostly wood-feeding (xylophagous) beetles containing nearly 35 000 known species. The higher-level phylogeny of Cerambycidae has never been robustly reconstructed using molecular phylogenetic data or a comprehensive sample of higher taxa, and its internal relation- ships and evolutionary history remain the subjects of ongoing debate. We reconstructed the higher-level phylogeny of Cerambycidae using phylogenomic data from 522 single copy nuclear genes, generated via anchored hybrid enrichment. Our taxon sample (31 Chrysomeloidea, four outgroup taxa: two Curculionoidea and two Cucujoidea) included exemplars of all families and 23 of 30 subfamilies of Chrysomeloidea (18 of 19 non-chrysomelid Chrysomeloidea), with a focus on the large family Cerambycidae. Our results reveal a monophyletic Cerambycidae s.s. in all but one analysis, and a polyphyletic Cerambycidae s.l.

    General Overview of Saproxylic Coleoptera

    Chapter 2 General Overview of Saproxylic Coleoptera Matthew L. Gimmel and Michael L. Ferro Abstract A broad survey of saproxylic beetles (Coleoptera) from literature and personal observations was conducted, and extensive references were included to serve as a single resource on the topic. Results are summarized in a table featuring all beetle families and subfamilies with saproxylicity indicated for both adults and larvae (where known), along with information on diversity, distribution, habits, habitat, and other relevant notes. A discussion about the prevalence of and evolu- tionary origins of beetles in relation to the saproxylic habitat, as well as the variety of saproxylic beetle habits by microhabitat, is provided. This initial attempt at an overview of the entire order shows that 122 (about 65%) of the 187 presently recognized beetle families have at least one saproxylic member. However, the state of knowledge of most saproxylic beetle groups is extremely fragmentary, particularly in regard to larval stages and their feeding habits. 2.1 Introduction to Beetles There are nearly 400,000 described species of beetles, which comprise 40% of all described insect species (Zhang 2011). In fact, one in every four animal species (from jellyfish to Javan rhinos) is a beetle. The dominance of this group in terrestrial ecosystems can hardly be overstated—and the dead wood habitat is no exception in this regard. The largest (see Acorn 2006), longest-lived, and geologically oldest beetles are saproxylic. Of the roster of saproxylic insect pests in forests, beetles M. L.
