E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new genus and species of handsome fungus beetle, Glesirhanis bercioi gen. nov., sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Endomychidae: Leiestinae) is described from Baltic amber. The newly described genus is compared with all known extant and extinct genera of the subfamily. A key to the genera of Leiestinae including fossils and a checklist of fossil Endomychidae are provided. The status of two taxa previously placed in Endomychidae, Palaeoendomychus gymnus Zhang and Tetrameropsis mesozoica Kirejtshuk & Azar, is discussed, and a new status for the latter, elevating it to the family-level as Tetrameropseidae status nov., is proposed. Key words: new genus, new species, new status, Coleoptera, Endomychidae, Leiestinae, Baltic amber, Tertiary, Eocene, key, checklist, fossil Introduction Baltic amber (succinite) constitutes the largest known deposit of fossil plant resin and the richest repository of fossil insects of any age. Unfortunately, most references to Coleoptera in Baltic amber are only determined to family or generic levels.

This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero.

  • Holocene Palaeoenvironmental Reconstruction Based on Fossil Beetle Faunas from the Altai-Xinjiang Region, China
    Holocene palaeoenvironmental reconstruction based on fossil beetle faunas from the Altai-Xinjiang region, China Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of London By Tianshu Zhang February 2018 Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London Declaration of Authorship I Tianshu Zhang hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 25/02/2018 1 Abstract This project presents the results of the analysis of fossil beetle assemblages extracted from 71 samples from two peat profiles from the Halashazi Wetland in the southern Altai region of northwest China. The fossil assemblages allowed the reconstruction of local environments of the early (10,424 to 9500 cal. yr BP) and middle Holocene (6374 to 4378 cal. yr BP). In total, 54 Coleoptera taxa representing 44 genera and 14 families have been found, and 37 species have been identified, including a new species, Helophorus sinoglacialis. The majority of the fossil beetle species identified are today part of the Siberian fauna, and indicate cold steppe or tundra ecosystems. Based on the biogeographic affinities of the fossil faunas, it appears that the Altai Mountains served as dispersal corridor for cold-adapted (northern) beetle species during the Holocene. Quantified temperature estimates were made using the Mutual Climate Range (MCR) method. In addition, indicator beetle species (cold adapted species and bark beetles) have helped to identify both cold and warm intervals, and moisture conditions have been estimated on the basis of water associated species.

  • Analisi Di Alcune Invasioni Sostenute Da Ptinidae E Latridiidae in Abitazioni Italiane (Coleoptera)
    Quaderni del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Ferrara - Vol. 6 - 2018 - pp. 83-86 ISSN 2283-6918 Analisi di alcune invasioni sostenute da Ptinidae e Latridiidae in abitazioni italiane (Coleoptera) MORENO DUttO già Collaboratore Entomologia Medica ed Urbana, Servizio Igiene e Sanità Pubblica, Dipartimento di Prevenzione ASL CN1, Cuneo E-mail: [email protected] Riassunto Nel presente contributo sono segnalate alcune invasioni di ambienti abitativi sostenute da Ptinidae e Latridiidae (Coleoptera) i quali annoverano specie non tipicamente infestanti e, generalmente, poco comuni nei contesti urbani. Nei casi analizzati le invasioni di due specie di Ptinidae – Gibbium psylloides (Czempinski, 1778) (3 casi), Niptus hololeucus (Faldermann, 1835) (1 caso) – e una di Latridiidae – Cartodere constricta (Gyllenhal, 1827) (3 casi) – hanno coinvolto abitazioni con caratteristiche strutturali/costruttive peculiari, idonee a formare e conservare microhabitat con condizioni microclimatiche differenti dai restanti ambienti e dall’ambiente esterno. Sono state interessate dalle invasioni abitazioni storiche di centri urbani (Piemonte, Lazio) (5 casi) aventi in comune, la maggiorparte (4 casi), recenti interventi di ristrutturazione, e in due casi abitazioni di montagna (Piemonte-Valle d’Aosta). In alcuni casi si può ipotizzare che tali invasioni siano da relazionare con l’attività di “disturbo” dei microhabitat di sviluppo indotta dagli interventi edilizi che hanno favorito il passaggio degli insetti negli ambienti attigui abitati e con condizioni ambientali/microclimatiche non propriamente tipiche per il loro sviluppo. In tutti i casi le invasioni si sono risolte nell’arco di 6 mesi, attraverso il controllo dell’umidità relativa ambientale che è stata mantenuta o riportata a valori normali per le unità abitative (55-60%), mentre in due casi i ripetuti ed intensi interventi di disinfestazione si sono rivelati completamente inefficaci.
