A New Cetoniinae for the French Polynesia Fauna (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae)
Bulletin de la Société entomologique de France, 120 (3), 2015 : 379-381. A new Cetoniinae for the French Polynesia fauna (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) by Thibault RAMAGE 9 quartier de la Glacière, F – 29900 Concarneau <[email protected]> Abstract. – The Cetoniinae fauna of French Polynesia was restricted until now to a single introduced species, Protaetia fusca (Herbst, 1790). A second species is here reported from Tahiti, Glycyphana stolata (Fabricius, 1781). P. fusca is also reported from the Marquesas Islands for the first time. Résumé. – Une nouvelle Cétoine pour la faune de Polynésie française (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae). La faune des Cetoniinae de Polynésie française, qui ne comprenait jusqu’à présent qu’une espèce introduite, Protaetia fusca (Herbst, 1790), compte désormais une seconde espèce, connue en Polynésie pour l’instant de Tahiti seulement, Glycyphana stolata (Fabricius, 1781). P. fusca est également citée pour la première fois des Marquises. Keywords. – Glycyphana stolata, Protaetia fusca, Cetoniini, French Polynesia. _________________ Until now only one species of Cetoniinae was known in French Polynesia, Protaetia fusca (Herbst, 1790) (PAULIAN, 1998). This species was reported only from the Society Islands, and it appears that it is also present in the Marquesas Islands. A second Cetoniinae, Glycyphana stolata (Fabricius, 1781), has been collected recently on Tahiti. It seems that G. stolata is now settled in French Polynesia and will probably spread in the different archipelagoes.

The Diversity of the Family Cetoniidae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) of Mountain Ozren (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Acta entomologica serbica, 2013, 18(1/2): 55-67 UDC 595.764(497.6) THE DIVERSITY OF THE FAMILY CETONIIDAE (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEOIDEA) OF MOUNTAIN OZREN (BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA) MIRZETA KAŠIĆ-LELO*, SUVAD LELO and ADI VESNIĆ Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Biology Department Zmaja od Bosne 33 71000 Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina * E-mail: [email protected] Abstract From April to September of 2008 and 2009 samples of family Cetoniidae Leach, 1815 were collected on the vertical profile of the southern slopes of Mount Ozren near Sarajevo. Research was conducted at six selected localities: Orlovac, Nahorevo, Čavljak, Skakvac, Bukovik and Crepoljsko. After 41 field investigations, 594 individuals were collected and determined as representatives of seven species. Collected data were processed with statistical software Biodiversity Pro and with options Diversity/Compare diversities: Alpha index; Berger-Parker index; Simpsons index; Margaleff index; Mackintosh index; Bray-Curtis Cluster Analysis: Single Link. By comparison of data it was concluded that Skakavac represents the typical locality for southern slopes of Mount Ozren. The species Oxythyrea funesta (Poda, 1761) is the most numerous faunistic element that was found. KEY WORDS: Cetoniidae, fauna, biodiversity, Ozren, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina Introduction After World War II the most important data on flower chafer Cetoniidae Leach, 1815 of Bosnia and Herzegovina were given by Rene MIKŠIĆ who investigated the area of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the entire Balkan Peninsula and most of the Palaearctic (MIKŠIĆ, 1950, 1953, 1956, 1958, 1962, 1965, 1970, 1976, 1977, 1980, 1982, 1987, e.g.). What little research done on this group after the war events in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992-1995 was undertaken mostly by authors of this paper (LELO, 2000, 2003; LELO & KAŠIĆ-LELO, 2006a, 2006b, 2007; LELO & ŠKRIJELJ, 2001; KAŠIĆ-LELO, 2005, 2011; KAŠIĆ-LELO & LELO, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009a, 2009b; KAŠIĆ-LELO et al., 2006), but it has been so little that it can be said that no 56 M. -

Quick Guide for the Identification Of
Quick Guide for the Identification of Maryland Scarabaeoidea Mallory Hagadorn Dr. Dana L. Price Department of Biological Sciences Salisbury University This document is a pictorial reference of Maryland Scarabaeoidea genera (and sometimes species) that was created to expedite the identification of Maryland Scarabs. Our current understanding of Maryland Scarabs comes from “An Annotated Checklist of the Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) of Maryland” (Staines 1984). Staines reported 266 species and subspecies using literature and review of several Maryland Museums. Dr. Price and her research students are currently conducting a bioinventory of Maryland Scarabs that will be used to create a “Taxonomic Guide to the Scarabaeoidea of Maryland”. This will include dichotomous keys to family and species based on historical reports and collections from all 23 counties in Maryland. This document should be cited as: Hagadorn, M.A. and D.L.

For two years we sampled invertebrates after two large wildfires in eastern Spain and demonstrate that two flower beetle species, Protaetia morio and P. oblonga (Cetoniidae), show a pyrophi- lous behaviour. These beetles were much more numerous after the fires than in unburnt plots OPEN ACCESS around the fire perimeter; in addition, these species tended to increase in number with the Citation: Pausas JG, Belliure J, MõÂnguez E, distance from the fire perimeter and with fire recurrence, especially P. morio.
