Le bureau d’études Onikha accompagné d’experts taxonomistes nord-américains a échantillonné une vingtaine de « criques », appellation locale des cours d’eaux de faibles à moyenne importance, lors du petit été de mars 2019. 60 espèces de coléoptères aquatiques ont été identifiées. 15 appartiennent à la famille des Elmidae, 1 à la famille des Dryopidae, 35 à la famille des Dytiscidae, 8 à la famille des Noteridae et une à la famille des Ptilodactylidae. Parmi celles-ci, 29 (48%) sont absentes de TAXREF V12 et constituent de fait un nouvel enregistrement pour la Guyane : 5 espèces d’Elmidae, 17 espèces de Dytiscidae, 6 espèces de Noteridae et 1 espèce de Ptilodactylidae. Ces chiffres démontrent la nécessité de poursuivre l’effort d’inventaire des invertébrés aquatiques de Guyane française. ABSTRACT An hydrobiological survey of the aquatic coleoptera of the coastal part of French Guyana was conducted by Onikha & collaborators during March 2019. Sixty species were reported from about twenty “criques” local names of wadeable streams. Of the 60 species, 29 (48%) are reported for the first time from French Guiana : 15 species of Elmidae (5 new); 1 species of Dryopidae, 35 species of Dytiscidae (17 new), 8 species of Noteridae (6 new), 1 species of Ptilodactylidae (1 new). These results emphasize the importance of supporting the inventory effort of aquatic invertebrates of French Guiana. 4 Inventaire des coléoptères aquatiques de frange littorale centre-ouest de Guyane française Octobre 2019 SOMMAIRE 1 INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................................... 8 2 MATERIEL & METHODES ............................................................................................ 8 2.1 STATIONS D’ETUDE .......................................................................................................................... 8 2.2 PERIODE D’ECHANTILLONNAGE ET CONDITIONS CLIMATIQUES ............................................................... 11 2.3 PROTOCOLE D’ECHANTILLONNAGE ................................................................................................... 12 2.4 PRISE DE VUES ET TRAITEMENT DES IMAGES ....................................................................................... 14 2.5 BANCARISATION ........................................................................................................................... 14 3 RESULTATS ............................................................................................................... 15 3.1 ELMIDAE ..................................................................................................................................... 15 3.2 DRYOPIDAE .................................................................................................................................. 24 3.3 DYTISCIDAE .................................................................................................................................. 25 3.4 NOTERIDAE .................................................................................................................................. 45 3.5 PTILODACTYLIDAE ......................................................................................................................... 50 4 CONCLUSION - PERSPECTIVES ............................................................................... 52 5 BIBLIOGRAPHIE ........................................................................................................ 53 5 Inventaire des coléoptères aquatiques de frange littorale centre-ouest de Guyane française Octobre 2019 LISTE DES FIGURES Figure 1 : Localisation des stations d’échantillonnages du projet RECOLT ............................................................................................. 9 Figure 2 : Photographies des stations du projet RECOLT (S.

    ISSN 0966 2235 LATISSIMUS NEWSLETTER OF THE BALFOUR-BROWNE CLUB Number Forty Five February 2020 Liopterus haemorrhoidalis (Fab.) found in a heathland pool in Dorset, England by Peter Sutton. ADDRESSES The addresses of authors of articles and reviewed works are mainly given at the end of this issue of Latissimus. The address for other correspondence is: Professor G N Foster, 3 Eglinton Terrace, Ayr KA7 1JJ, Scotland, UK – [email protected] 1 LATISSIMUS 45 February 2020 TOWARDS A PHOTOGUIDE FOR THE LARGER BRITISH WATER BEETLES Peter Sutton For some time now, I have been working on a sequel to The Larger Water Beetles of the British Isles (Sutton 2008) in a bid to photograph all of the large and spectacular aquatic Coleoptera of Britain. The trials and tribulations of the search for these fascinating insects are described in a recent article in British Wildlife (Sutton 2017). This article also reveals that some of the medium-sized species of interest, such as those of the genus Rhantus have been included, as have species from other groups, including the raft spider, Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck) and a rare wasp, Chalcis sispes (L.), parasitic on soldierflies (Stratiomyidae), which collectively highlight the conservation importance of some of the very special habitats in which they may be found. Figure 1 Rhantus frontalis (Marsham), brackish pool, Canvey Island, South Essex February 2020 LATISSIMUS 45 2 The prospective book, therefore, covers a good number of medium-sized water beetles (7- 13 mm), from the Piles Beetle Liopterus haemorrhoidalis (Fab.) (6.3-7.9 mm) to the comparatively large Ilybius ater (12.5 -14.5 mm), known by some in Britain as the Mud Dweller.

    AMERIICAN- MUSEUMv NOVYITATES PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CITY OF NEW YORK MAY 1, 1953 NUMBER 1616 THE WATER BEETLES OF THE BAHAMA ISLANDS, BRITISH WEST INDIES (COLEOPTERA: DYTISCIDAE, GYRINIDAE, HYDROCHIDAE, HYDROPHILIDAE)l BY FRANK N. YOUNG The Bahama Islands, British West Indies, lying just off the coast of Florida, offer many possibilities for faunal comparisons, but there are to date very few published records for aquatic Coleoptera. The reason for this dearth of information lies largely in the fact that the fauna as a whole is representative of the coastal lowlands over a vast part of the Antillean-Caribbean region, and entomologists have considered it merely a mixture of North and South American forms. In my opinion, however, the extensive ranges of many of the species together with the isolation of populations on various islands offer many possibi- lities for the study of speciation and ecological adaptations. The paucity of species in the coastal lowlands of the Antilles is largely a reflection of the lack of variety of aquatic habitats in which water beetles can live, not to barriers to migration. On the Bahamas the available habitats are about at a minimum, consisting mainly of small and often transient rain-water pools, small, semi-permanent, fresh-water ponds with poorly developed aquatic vegetation, artificial cisterns and pools, brackish lagoons, tidal pools, and the "pannes" and "potholes" of the salt marshes. Potholes in limestone areas, fresh-water marshes, and water- holding plants may present other types of conditions locally. Swift streams, large rivers, springs, deep lakes, and many other Contribution No.

Several specimens of Hydrodytes opalinus (Zimmermann, 1921) were found in a coastal wetland on Basse Terre island in Guadeloupe. This is the first record of the subfamily Hydrodytinae Miller, 2001 from the Caribbean Basin north of Trinidad. This finding sheds light on the biogeographical history of the subfamily by bridging the gap between its main distribution area in continental Central and South America and the isolated occurrence of Hydrodytes dodgei (Young, 1989) in Florida.

Para ello, se creó la base de datos DICU (DItíscidos de CUba), que incluye datos procedentes de una exhaustiva recopilación bibliográfica, de revisión de colecciones entomológicas y de muestreos propios realizados entre los años 2000 y 2014. La base de datos cuenta con un total de 276 registros de 53 especies, lo que supone el 96,4% del total que se estima para Cuba, y la mayor diversidad de las Antillas. En cada especie se aporta información sobre su distribución (general y en Cuba), hábitat y biología, así como un mapa actualizado mostrando su distribución conocida en Cuba. Estos resultados posibilita- rán la realización de futuros estudios sobre conservación de los ditíscidos de Cuba. Palabras clave: Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, composición taxonómica, distribución, Cuba.
