Lower Madawaska River Provincial Park LOWER MADAWASKA RIVER PROVINCIAL PARK One Malaise trap was deployed at Lower Madawaska River Provincial Park in 2014 (45.25606, -77.19221, 280m ASL; Figure 1). This trap collected arthropods for twenty weeks from May 7 – September 24, 2014. All 10 Malaise trap samples were processed; every other sample was analyzed using the individual specimen protocol while the second half was analyzed via bulk analysis. A total of 3229 BINs were obtained. Over half the BINs captured were flies (Diptera), followed by bees, ants and wasps (Hymenoptera), moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera), and beetles (Coleoptera; Figure 2). In total, 647 arthropod species were named, representing 21.6% of the BINs from the site (Appendix 1). All but 1 of the BINs were assigned Figure 1. Malaise trap deployed at Lower Madawaska at least to family, and 55.3% were assigned to a genus River Provincial Park in 2014. (Appendix 2). Specimens collected from Lower Madawaska River represent 244 different families and 779 genera.

Except for a popular identification key by borowiec & tarnawski, 1983 (presently out of date in regard of the species list, systematics and nomenclature), and a catalogue summary of all known records (burakowski et al. 1987), papers specifically dedicated to the study of Polish aderids have never been published.

  • The Aderidae (Coleoptera) of the Maritime Provinces of Canada
    J. Acad. Entomol. Soc. 7: 65-69 (2011) The Aderidae (Coleoptera) of the Maritime Provinces of Canada Christopher G. Majka ABSTRACT The present paper surveys the ant-like leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Aderidae) of the Maritime Provinces of Canada. Three new provincial records are reported, including two species, Zonantes pallidus Werner and the adventive Palaearctic species, Aderus populneus (Panzer), which are newly recorded in the region from collections in Nova Scotia. Vanonus wickhami Casey is newly recorded on Prince Edward Island, the first record of an aderid from the province. Distribution maps, keys to the identification of species, and colour habitus photographs are provided. The bionomics of many Nearctic aderids remains poorly investigated. Eight other species of Aderidae have been recorded in the neighbouring jurisdictions of Québec and Maine. RÉSUMÉ Cet article recense les Aderidae (Coleoptera: Aderidae) des Provinces maritimes du Canada. Trois additions à la faune provinciale sont rapportées, incluant deux espèces, Zonantes pallidus Werner et l’adventice paléarctique Aderus populneus (Panzer), qui sont nouvellement signalées dans la région à partir de collections en Nouvelle- Écosse. Vanonus wickhami Casey est nouvellement signalé à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard, constituant le premier signalement d’un Aderidae dans cette province. Des cartes de distribution, des clés d’identification des espèces et des photographies couleurs de l’habitus sont fournies. Les bionomies de plusieurs Aderidae néarctiques demeurent faiblement documentées. Huit autres espèces furent signalées dans les juridictions voisines du Québec et du Maine.

Steury U.S. National Park Service 700 George Washington Memorial Parkway Turkey Run Park Headquarters McLean, Virginia 22101 ABSTRACT Malaise trap samples collected during a 20-year period (1998–2018) from four national park sites in northern Virginia were sorted for ant-like leaf beetles (Coleoptera, Aderidae). Nine species and one undetermined taxon were documented. The most common species in the study area is Zonantes subfasciatus (LeConte). The first Virginia records were documented for Aderus brunnipennis (LeConte), Emelinus melsheimeri (LeConte), and Vanonus calvescens Casey, with the latter representing a southern range extension. Periods of adult activity, based on dates of capture, are given for each species. Relative abundance is noted for each species based on the number of captures. Images are provided showing variation in elytral markings of Zonantes fasciatus (Melsheimer) and Z. subfasciatus from Virginia. Keywords: Malaise trap, national park, new state records, Potomac River Gorge. INTRODUCTION STUDY SITES Little is known concerning the bionomics of ant-like The study area lies within the George Washington leaf beetles (Coleoptera, Aderidae). Their heads have a Memorial Parkway (GWMP) in Fairfax County, somewhat ant-like appearance and the largest North Virginia, and is managed by the National Park Service.

  • Global Zoogeography and Systematic Approaches of the Blister Beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae): a Bibliographic Review
    International Journal of Research in BioSciences Vol. 2 Issue 3, pp. (1-45), Julyl 2013 Available online at http://www.ijrbs.in ISSN 2319-2844 Review Paper Global zoogeography and systematic approaches of the blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae): a bibliographic review Karem S. Ghoneim Faculty of Science, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, EGYPT (Received 5 April, 2013, Accepted 22 June, 2013) Abstract Blister beetles, or oil beetles, belong to the family Meloidae in order Coleoptera. They are cosmopolitan and distributed allover world except for New Zealand, Antarctica and some regions of Oceania. Some blister beetles are agricultural pests but all produce cantharidin which dangerously affect both animals, other than many canthariphilous insects, and man albeit it is used, in some parts of the world, to treat certain ailment cases such as cancer. The present work reviews the worldwide distribution of Meloidae throughout temperate, arid, sub-tropical and tropical regions, focusing on the most important identified subfamilies, tribes, genera and species in each region. Also, this review comprehensively highlights the systematic efforts in several parts of the world including various taxonomic methods and tools, especially the adult morphology, triungulin morphology, sexual and egg-laying behavioural patterns, adult anatomy and molecular data which have been recently used to disclose some elusory systematic problems. Keywords: Meloinae, Eleticinae, Tetraonycinae, Lyttinae, Nemognathinae, phylogeny, morphology, anatomy, triungulins. Introduction The patterns of the past, present, and future distribution of animals in nature and the processes that regulate these distributions are concerns of zoogeography [1,2]. Also, it provides the basis for environmental protection and resource management [3]. Careful and accurate identification and classification of living organisms are of vital importance ]4[.
