    A Comparison of Three Trapping Methods Used to Survey Forest-Dwelling Coleoptera

    Eur. J. Entomol. 103: 397–407, 2006 ISSN 1210-5759 A comparison of three trapping methods used to survey forest-dwelling Coleoptera ESKO HYVÄRINEN, JARI KOUKI and PETRI MARTIKAINEN Faculty of Forest Sciences, University of Joensuu, P.O. Box 111, FIN – 80101 Joensuu, Finland; e-mail: [email protected] Keywords. Abundance distribution, beetles, biodiversity inventories, boreal forest, Coleoptera, interception traps, pitfall traps, sampling, species richness, window traps Abstract. Sampling of insect communities is very challenging and for reliable interpretation of results the effects of different sam- pling protocols and data processing on the results need to be fully understood. We compared three different commonly used methods for sampling forest beetles, freely hanging flight-intercept (window) traps (FWT), flight-intercept traps attached to trunks (TWT) and pitfall traps placed in the ground (PFT), in Scots pine dominated boreal forests in eastern Finland. Using altogether 960 traps, forming 576 sub-samples, at 24 study sites, 59760 beetles belonging to 814 species were collected over a period of a month. All of the material was identified to species, with the exception of a few species pairs, to obtain representative data for analyses. Four partly overlapping groups were used in the analyses: (1) all, (2) saproxylic, (3) rare and (4) red-listed species. In terms of the number of species collected TWTs were the most effective for all species groups and the rarer species the species group composed of (groups 1-2-3-4) the larger were the differences between the trap types. In particular, the TWTs caught most red-listed species. However, when sample sizes were standardized FWTs and TWTs caught similar number of species of all species groups.

Beitr. 49/2 1133-1137 11.12.2017 On the Nearctic Cryptophilus REITTER, 1874 (Coleoptera: Erotylidae) Jens ESSER A b s t r a c t : The nearctic Cryptophilus REITTER, 1874 are revised. There are three species; all are introduced from the Palaearctic Region. The species described from the Nearctic Region by CASEY (1924) are junior synonyms. Key words: Erotylidae, Cryptophilus, Nearctic Region, new synonymy. Introduction There is different information about the number of species of Cryptophilus REITTER, 1874 in the Nearctic Region. LAWRENCE & VAURIE (1983) and ARNETT et al. (2002) mentioned three species for the United States and Canada: Cryptophilus fluminalis CASEY, 1924, C. integer (HEER, 1841) and C. seriatus CASEY, 1924. BOUSQUET et al. (2013) mentioned only C. integer (HEER, 1841) for Alaska and Canada. Studying the types of Cryptophilus fluminalis CASEY, 1924 and C. seriatus CASEY, 1924 and the revision of C. integer (HEER, 1841) (ESSER 2016) shows that the Nearctic is inhabited by three species: C. obliteratus REITTER, 1874 (= C. seriatus CASEY, 1924), C. propinquus REITTER, 1874 (= C. fluminalis CASEY, 1924, C. integer sensu auct.) and C. angustus (ROSENHAUER, 1856) (= C. integer sensu auct.). The name "integer HEER, 1841" is a junior synonym of Micrambe abietis (PAYKULL, 1798) (ESSER 2016). As in the Palaearctic Region are in the United States and Canada two different species named "integer": C.

    Transactions of the Illinois State Academy of Science (1993), Volume 86, 3 and 4, pp. 153 - 171 The Pleasing Fungus Beetles of Illinois (Coleoptera: Erotylidae) Part II. Triplacinae. Triplax and Ischyrus Michael A. Goodrich Department of Zoology, Eastern Illinois University Charleston, IL 61920, U.S.A. and Paul E. Skelley Entomology and Nematology Department University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, U.S.A. ABSTRACT The Illinois fauna of the subfamily Triplacinae (Coleoptera: Erotylidae) includes 3 known genera: Triplax Herbst, Ischyrus Lacordaire and Tritoma Fabricius. The eight species of Triplax and the single species of Ischyrus known to occur in Illinois are treated in this paper. Three new records for Illinois are reported: Triplax macra LeConte; Triplax festiva Lacordaire; and Triplax puncticeps Casey. Keys to the identification of adults, descriptions of each species, habitus drawings and distribution maps are provided. Fungal host relationships of each species are reported and discussed. The family Erotylidae includes colorful fungus feeding beetles commonly called "pleasing fungus beetles". They are world wide in distribution with over 2000 described species. The family was comprehensively revised for North America by Boyle in 1956. Of the 44 genera reported from the New World (Blackwelder 1945; Boyle 1956); 10 genera and 49 species are known north of Mexico (Boyle 1956, 1962; Goodrich & Skelley 1991a). Within the subfamily Triplacinae, 6 genera and 40 species occur nationally. The purpose of this series of papers is to provide a complete list of the Erotylidae occurring in Illinois, keys and descriptions of adults of each species for identification, distribution maps of their occurrence within the state, and descriptions of their biology and host relationships.

Abstract. A large-scale phylogenetic study is presented for Cucujoidea (Coleoptera), a diverse superfamily of beetles that historically has been taxonomically difficult. This study is the most comprehensive analysis of cucujoid taxa to date, with DNA sequence data sampled from eight genes (four nuclear, four mitochondrial) for 384 coleopteran taxa, including exemplars of 35 (of 37) families and 289 genera of Cucujoidea. Maximum-likelihood analyses of these data present many significant relationships, some proposed previously and some novel.

    Generic Catalogue and Taxonomic Status of Languriidae (Cucujoidea)

    ANNALES ZOOLOGICI (Warszawa), 1998, 48(3/4): 221-243 GENERIC CATALOGUE AND TAXONOMIC STATUS OF LANGURIIDAE (CUCUJOIDEA) Richard A.B.

Wilcza 64, 00-679, Warszawa, Poland, ema il: piotr@ robal. m i iz. wa w.pl Abstract. — The classification of the Languriidae is reviewed and a catalogue of the 98 described genera is provided. Salient adult characters and comments on the monophyly are discussed for each family group. Notes on the taxonomic status of genera are included and type species are des­ ignated for Glisonotha Motschulsky ( Glysonotha setosa Motschulsky), Lacertobelus Gorham (Lacertobelus dentipes Gorham), Leptolanguria Fowler (Languria longicollis Fowler), Loberolus Grouvellc (Loberolus agilis Grouvelle), Ortholanguroides Fowler (Ortholanguro- ides egensis Fowler), and Phi I ophl aeus Germain (Philophlaeus aeneus Germain). Two generic names proposed are Slipinskiella, new name (type species: Languria dimidiata Guerin-Meneville; fifty new combinations) and Crowsonguptus, new name (type species: Coe/ocryptus mexicanus Sharp; four new combinations). One specific name is proposed: Hapalips investigatus new name (for Hapalips fuscus (Lea) new combination, nec Hapalips fuscus Reitter). New generic synonymies are given as follows: Cathartocryptus Sharp (= Xenoscelinus Grouvelle; seven new combinations), Isolanguria Lea (= Hapalips Reitter; one new combination) and Tetraphala Sturm (= Tetralanguria Crotch, = Tetralanguroides Fowler, = Metabelus Gorham; twenty three new combinations). The genera Stenodina Fairmaire and Fitoa Dajoz are transferred from Endomychidae to Languriidae. The species name Pachylanguria paivae Wollaston is corrected to Pachylanguria paivai. Key words.
