The preceding defi nitions of the tribe Poecilonotini Jakobson, 1913 are revised and commented and a new concept of the tribe Poecilonotini sensu novo is suggested. The subtribe Nesotrinchina Bílý, Kubáň & Volkovitsh, subtrib. nov. is described and revised including a study of selected taxa of the subtribe Poecilono- tina. Ulaikoilia jelineki Bílý & Kubáň, gen. nov., sp. nov. (subtribe Nesotrinchina subtrib. nov.) is described from Papua New Guinea. The genus is diagnosed and compared with related genera and important characters at the genus and species level are illustrated. The following new synonymies are proposed: Lamprodila (Erialata) auripilis (Obenberger, 1922) = L. (E.) pubescens (Fisher, 1930), syn. nov., Melobasina apicalis Kerremans, 1900 = M. ignita (Théry, 1937), syn. nov., Nesotrinchus australicus (Kerremans, 1903) = N. simondsi Obenberger, 1924, syn. nov. and N. caeruleipennis (Fairmaire, 1877) = N. orientalis Bellamy, 1987, syn. nov. Haplotrinchus marginefossus Thomson, 1878, stat. restit. (Chrysochroinae Laporte de Castelnau, 1835, Dicercini Gistel, 1848, Haplotrinchina Hołyński, 1993) is removed from synonymy with H. pyrochlorus (Fairmaire, 1877) and restituted as a valid species. Nesotrinchus Obenberger, 1924, stat. restit. is remo- ved from synonymy with Melobasina Kerremans, 1900. A new substitute name is suggested: Nesotrinchus thomsoni Bílý & Kubáň, nom. nov. for N. caeruleipennis Thomson, 1878 (primary and secondary homonym). Lectotypes are designated for Dicercomorpha caeruleipennis Fairmaire, 1877, D. caeruleipennis Thomson, 730 BÍLÝ et al.: A study on Poecilonotini, with the description of a new genus (Buprestidae) 1878, Haplotrinchus australicus Kerremans, 1903, Melobasina apicalis Kerre- mans, 1900, Nesotrinchus simondsi Obenberger, 1924 and Poecilonota suturalis Deyrolle, 1864. The genus Pseudhyperantha Saunders, 1869 is transferred from Stigmoderini Lacordaire, 1857 back to the tribe Buprestini Leach, 1815. Final- ly, the following species are transferred to other genera: Melobasina suturalis (Deyrolle, 1864), comb. nov. from Lamprodila Motschulsky, 1860; Nesotrinchus wallisii (Montrouzier, 1855), comb. nov. from Haplotrinchus Kerremans, 1903; and N. australicus, N. caeruleipennis and N. thomsoni Bílý & Kubáň, nom. nov., all comb. nov. from Melobasina. Key words. Coleoptera, Buprestidae, Buprestini, Dicercini, Poecilonotini, Neso- trinchina subtrib. nov., taxonomy, replacement name, synonymy, new combination, lectotype designation, Oriental Region, Australian Region, Pacifi c Islands Introduction We have recently received a splendid specimen of an undescribed species of the family Buprestidae Leach, 1815. This new species belongs to an undescribed genus related to genera of the tribe Poecilonotini Jakobson, 1913 (Chrysochroinae Laporte de Castelnau, 1835). It is described in the present paper as Ulaikoilia Bílý & Kubáň, gen. nov. To describe and diagnose the new genus, the whole taxonomic structure of Poecilonotini had to be revised, since the tribe has been treated by various authors in rather different ways. As a result of this revision, a new concept of the tribe Poecilonotini Jakobson, 1913 sensu novo is suggested. Material and methods Wings, male and female genitalia of studied specimens were extracted and mounted on a separate label. A SZP 11 Zoom stereoscopic microscope was used for illustrations and Olym- pus SZX 12 microscope with fi xed camera for colour images (photos by V. Kubáň unless otherwise mentioned). The nomenclature of wing venation follows FEDORENKO (2009). To study the characters of wing venation and abdominal tergite arrangement, additional species from different genera of the Poecilonotini, Dicercini Gistel, 1848, Stigmoderini Lacordaire, 1857, and Buprestini were investigated (see the list below). Photos of the holotype of ‘Nosotrinchus solomonensis Théry, 1937’ from the Database of insect primary types in the collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University [http://insects.oeb.harvard.edu/MCZ/FMPro?-db=Species.fm&-lay=web&- format=search.htm&-view] were also used in the analyses. We took the data on a distribution in the catalogue of each species directly from the origi- nal papers (in ‘quotation marks’ if cited verbatim), since many data in earlier catalogues are erroneous. Data from locality labels of the types in the chapter ‘Taxonomy’ are cited ‘verbatim’ with our comments in square brackets, slash brackets ‘/’ separate data from different labels, [h] Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae, 49(2), 2009 731 means that the preceding data within quotation marks are handwritten and [p] means that the preceding data within quotation marks are printed.

  • A Review of the Japanese Kateretidae Fauna (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea)
    ACTA ENTOMOLOGICA MUSEI NATIONALIS PRAGAE Published 9.xii.2011 Volume 51(2), pp. 551–585 ISSN 0374-1036 A review of the Japanese Kateretidae fauna (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea) Sadatomo HISAMATSU Entomological Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Ehime University, Tarumi 3–5–7, Matsuyama, 790–8566 Japan; e–mail: [email protected] Abstract. The family Kateretidae of Japan is revised. Nine species belonging to 6 genera are recognized, including: Kateretes japonicus Hisamatsu, 1985, K. takagii S-T. Hisamatsu, 2006, Platamartus jakowlewi Reitter, 1892, Heterhelus (Heterhelus) scutellaris (Heer, 1841), H. (Heterhelus) morio (Reitter, 1878), H. (Boreades) solani (Heer, 1841), Sibirhelus corpulentus (Reitter, 1900), Brachyp- terus urticae (Fabricius, 1792), and Brachypterolus pulicarius (Linnaeus, 1758). Heterhelus morio, which was synonymized under H. scutellaris by KIREJTSHUK (1989), is found to be a valid species, and is herein resurrected. Platamartus jakowlewi is newly recorded from Japan. Brachypterolus shimoyamai Hisamatsu, 1985, syn. nov., is synonymized under Brachypterolus pulicarius. Dorsal habitus images, illustrations of male and female genitalia, and other important diagnostic characters are provided for all species. A key for identifi cation of all Japanese taxa is also provided. Key words. Coleoptera, Kateretidae, taxonomy, new synonym, new record, key, Japan, Palaearctic Region Introduction The family Kateretidae, belonging to the superfamily Cucujoidea, is mainly distributed in the Holarctic Region, and comprises about 95 species within 14 genera worldwide (JELÍNEK & CLINE 2010). Both larval and adult Kateretidae are anthophagous: the larvae are monophagous or oligophagous, while adults are more generalized feeders, occurring on true host plants only during mating and ovipositing periods; otherwise, they feed on a broader assortment of fl owering plants (JELÍNEK & CLINE 2010).

  • Cyphosoma MNNH. to Touzalinia THY
    Procrustomachia Occasional Papers of the Uncensored Scientists Group 2, 3: 15-64 Milanówek 25 VI 2017 ISSN 2543-7747 ________________________________________________________________________________________ Review of Indo-Pacific Dicercina GISTL (Coleoptera: Buprestidae): Cyphosoma MNNH. to Touzalinia THY. Roman B. HOŁYŃSKI PL-05822 Milanówek, ul. Graniczna 35, skr. poczt. 65, POLAND e-mail: [email protected] This paper is dedicated to those Colleagues who prefer to help – rather than backbite and defame – the work of others. Introduction Dicercina GISTL, one of the largest and most widely distributed subtribes of the Buprestidae LEACH (several hundred – above 700 according to OBENBERGER 1926, 1930 – species in some 15-20 genera inhabiting almost all tropical and subtropical areas of the world), are represented in the Indo-Pacific Region by 10 genera and more than 100 species. The taxon comprises big or at least medium-sized, frequently colourful species, many of which are rather common, but nevertheless even their taxonomic relations and geographical distribution (to say nothing about bionomy) remain relatively poorly known: the last comprehensive review of the “Groupe Psilopterites Lac.” (KERREMANS 1910) is almost nine decades old and includes only a part of the subtribe as presently understood, my (HOŁYŃSKI 1999) dissertation is also incomplete (Ovalisia KERR. treated only at the subgeneric level) and anyway has remained unpublished, OBENBERGER’s (1926) world catalogue is already badly outdated, that of BELLAMY (2008) admittedly represents but uncritical compilation, and thus the recent revision of Dicerca ESCH. and Poecilonota ESCH. (HOŁYŃSKI 2005, 2011a) and of Indochinese Psiloptera SOL. by AKIYAMA & OHMOMO (1994) are the only more than exiguous contributions to the knowledge of the Indo-Pacific representatives of the Dicercina GISTL published in the last decades; as the easily understandable consequence the status and affinities of most forms are often falsely interpreted, names wrongly applied, and specimens in collections notoriously misidentified.

    Sand pit for Biodiversity at Cep II quarry Researcher: Klára Řehounková Research group: Petr Bogusch, David Boukal, Milan Boukal, Lukáš Čížek, František Grycz, Petr Hesoun, Kamila Lencová, Anna Lepšová, Jan Máca, Pavel Marhoul, Klára Řehounková, Jiří Řehounek, Lenka Schmidtmayerová, Robert Tropek Březen – září 2012 Abstract We compared the effect of restoration status (technical reclamation, spontaneous succession, disturbed succession) on the communities of vascular plants and assemblages of arthropods in CEP II sand pit (T řebo ňsko region, SW part of the Czech Republic) to evaluate their biodiversity and conservation potential. We also studied the experimental restoration of psammophytic grasslands to compare the impact of two near-natural restoration methods (spontaneous and assisted succession) to establishment of target species. The sand pit comprises stages of 2 to 30 years since site abandonment with moisture gradient from wet to dry habitats. In all studied groups, i.e. vascular pants and arthropods, open spontaneously revegetated sites continuously disturbed by intensive recreation activities hosted the largest proportion of target and endangered species which occurred less in the more closed spontaneously revegetated sites and which were nearly absent in technically reclaimed sites. Out results provide clear evidence that the mosaics of spontaneously established forests habitats and open sand habitats are the most valuable stands from the conservation point of view. It has been documented that no expensive technical reclamations are needed to restore post-mining sites which can serve as secondary habitats for many endangered and declining species. The experimental restoration of rare and endangered plant communities seems to be efficient and promising method for a future large-scale restoration projects in abandoned sand pits.

Received: 9 October 2020; Accepted: 28 October 2020; Published: 30 October 2020 Simple Summary: Several wood-associated insects are inadvertently introduced every year within wood-packaging materials used in international trade. These insects can cause impressive economic and ecological damage in the invaded environment. Thus, several countries use traps baited with pheromones and plant volatiles at ports of entry and surrounding natural areas to intercept incoming exotic species soon after their arrival and thereby reduce the likelihood of their establishment. In this study, we investigated the performance of eight trap colors in attracting jewel beetles and bark and ambrosia beetles to test if the trap colors currently used in survey programs worldwide are the most efficient for trapping these potential forest pests. In addition, we tested whether trap colors can be exploited to minimize inadvertent removal of their natural enemies.
