Young Department of Entomology 445 Russell Labs University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison, WI 53706 Abstract. A survey of Wisconsin Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) conducted from literature searches, collection inventories, and three years of field work (1997-1999), yielded 177 species representing nine families, two of which, Ochodaeidae and Ceratocanthidae, represent new state family records. Fifty-six species (32% of the Wisconsin fauna) represent new state species records, having not previously been recorded from the state. Literature and collection distributional records suggest the potential for at least 33 additional species to occur in Wisconsin. Introduction however, most of Wisconsin's scarabaeoid species diversity, life histories, and distributions were vir- The superfamily Scarabaeoidea is a large, di- tually unknown. -
Conceptual Design Documentation
Appendix A: Conceptual Design Documentation APPENDIX A Conceptual Design Documentation June 2019 A-1 APPENDIX A: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN DOCUMENTATION The environmental analyses in the NEPA and CEQA documents for the proposed improvements at Oceano County Airport (the Airport) are based on conceptual designs prepared to provide a realistic basis for assessing their environmental consequences. 1. Widen runway from 50 to 60 feet 2. Widen Taxiways A, A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4 from 20 to 25 feet 3. Relocate segmented circle and wind cone 4. Installation of taxiway edge lighting 5. Installation of hold position signage 6. Installation of a new electrical vault and connections 7. Installation of a pollution control facility (wash rack) CIVIL ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS The purpose of this conceptual design effort is to identify the amount of impervious surface, grading (cut and fill) and drainage implications of the projects identified above. The conceptual design calculations detailed in the following figures indicate that Projects 1 and 2, widening the runways and taxiways would increase the total amount of impervious surface on the Airport by 32,016 square feet, or 0.73 acres; a 6.6 percent increase in the Airport’s impervious surface area. Drainage patterns would remain the same as both the runway and taxiways would continue to sheet flow from their centerlines to the edge of pavement and then into open, grassed areas. The existing drainage system is able to accommodate the modest increase in stormwater runoff that would occur, particularly as soil conditions on the Airport are conducive to infiltration. Figure A-1 shows the locations of the seven projects incorporated in the Proposed Action. -
CLASSIFICAÇÃO COMENTADA DE COLEOPTERA Sergio Antonio
III. MARCO SISTEMÁTICO DEL PROYECTO PRIBES 2002 CLASSIFICAÇÃO COMENTADA DE COLEOPTERA Sergio Antonio Vanin & Sergio Ide An annotated classification of the Coleoptera Abstract The Coleoptera are an extremely diversified group of insects with more than 350,000 described species. The conjunction of this richness with the different stages in the taxonomic knowledge make it difficult to obtain consistent classifications. The monophyly of the order and of each of the four suborders are largely accepted by the authors, however the relationships among the suborders are highly controversial. The most recent classification for the order was proposed by Lawrence & Newton (1995) and modified by Lawrence et al. (1999). In this paper we present comments on works that influenced or represented important contributions for the re-evaluation of this classification.

G. de viedmal and M.

The authors believe that the current classification of this order, incorporating these changes would prove useful. The following outline is based mainly on Crowson (1960, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1971, 1972, 1973) and Crowson and Viedma (1964). For characters used on classification see Viedma (1972) and for family synonyms Abdullah (1969). Major features of this conspectus are the rejection of the two sections of Adephaga (Geadephaga and Hydradephaga), based on Bell (1966) and the new sequence of Heteromera, based mainly on Crowson (1966), with adaptations. -

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.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Geotrupidae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) Based on Larvae

CABRERO-SAN˜ UDO3 1Centro Iberoamericano de la Biodiversidad (CIBIO), Universidad de Alicante, Spain; 2CEFE, UMR 5175, De´ partement Ecologie des Arthropodes, Universite´ Paul Vale´ ry, Montpellier, France; and 3Departamento Biodiversidad y Biologı´ a Evolutiva, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC), Madrid, Spain Abstract. Thirty-eight characters derived from the larvae of Geotrupidae (Scarabaeoidea, Coleoptera) were analysed using parsimony and Bayesian infer- ence. Trees were rooted with two Trogidae species and one species of Pleocomidae as outgroups. The monophyly of Geotrupidae (including Bolboceratinae) is supported by four autapomorphies: abdominal segments 3–7 with two dorsal annulets, chaetoparia and acanthoparia of the epipharynx not prominent, glossa and hypopharynx fused and without sclerome, trochanter and femur without fossorial setae. Bolboceratinae showed notable differences with Pleocomidae, being more related to Geotrupinae than to other groups. Odonteus species (Bolboceratinae s.str.) appear to constitute the closest sister group to Geotrupi- nae. Polyphyly of Bolboceratinae is implied by the following apomorphic char- acters observed in the ‘Odonteus lineage’: anterior and posterior epitormae of epipharynx developed, tormae of epipharynx fused, oncyli of hypopharynx devel- oped, tarsal claws reduced or absent, plectrum and pars stridens of legs well developed and apex of antennal segment 2 with a unique sensorium. A ‘Bolbelas- mus lineage’ is supported by the autapomorphic presence of various sensoria on the apex of the antennal segment, and the subtriangular labrum (except Eucanthus). This group constituted by Bolbelasmus, Bolbocerosoma and Eucanthus is the first evidence for a close relationship among genera, but more characters should be analysed to test the support for the clade. -

In total two subfamilies (Amphicominae and Glaphyrinae) and 62 species and subspecies within three genera Eulasia TRUQUI (29 taxa), Pygopleurus MOTSCHULSKY (19 taxa) and Glaphyrus LATREILLE (14 taxa) are listed. Pygopleurus scutellatus BRULLÉ, 1832 is a doubtful species for the fauna of Iran. Key words: Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea, Glaphyridae, checklist, Iran. Introduction The superfamily Scarabaeoidea is one of the largest subdivisions of beetles with an estimated 35,000 species worldwide (GREBENNIKOV & SCHOLTZ 2004). Nine families, Geotrupidae, Passalidae, Trogidae, Glaresidae, Lucanidae, Ochodaeidae, Hybosoridae, Glaphyridae and Scarabaeidae constitute the superfamily Scarabaeoidea (NIKODÝM & BEZDEK 2016). The family Glaphyridae MACLEAY, 1819 is a relatively small group of Scarabaeoidea, currently comprising 250 species and subspecies in six genera, mainly found in the Old World (LI et al. 2011; NIKODÝM & BEZDEK 2016; MONTREUIL 2017). Most extant glaphyrids are restricted to the Western Palaearctic area, especially around the Mediterranean Basin and in the Middle East region (MEDVEDEV 1960; NIKOLJAEV et al. 2011). There are only nine species within a single endemic genus, Lichnanthe Burmeister, 1844 in Nearctic region (CARLSON 2002; NIKOLJAEV et al.
