New records of Attelabus nitens (Scopoli, 1763) for Andalusia, Spain (Coleoptera, Attelabidae) ABSTRACT: New records of Attelabus nitens (Scopoli, 1763) are recorded for the Andalusian provinces of Cadiz, Huelva and Jaen. KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Attelabidae, new records, Andalusia, Spain. Introducción La familia Attelabidae Billberg, 1820 comprende 968 especies distribuidas por casi todo el mundo (LEGALOV, 2003). En la Península Ibérica solo hay tres especies citadas pertenecientes a dos tribus de las seis que integran la familia (ALONSO-ZARAZAGA, 2011; SÁEZ BOLAÑO et al., 2013)de la tribu Apoderini Jekel, 1860 Apoderus coryli (Linnaeus, 1758) que en la Península Ibérica se distribuye por su parte más septentrional y de la tribu Attelabini Billberg, 1820 Attelabus nitens (Scopoli, 1763) y Attelabus variolosus Fabricius, 1801 ambas citadas de Andalucía (COBOS, 1958; GARCÍA DE VIEDMA, 1961; HEYDEN, 1870; IGLESIAS, 1922; SÁEZ BOLAÑO et al., 2013). A. variolosus no se ha vuelto a capturar en la Península Ibérica desde 1993 (SÁEZ BOLAÑO et al., 2013).En cuanto a A. nitens las citas andaluzas son muy escasas tal y como queda reflejado en SÁEZ BOLAÑO et al., (2013) donde se indica que solo ha sido citado en las provincias de Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén y Sevilla en una ocasión; de Almería en dos y de Málaga en tres ocasiones. - 22 - Nuevas citas de Attelabus nitens (Scopoli, 1763) para Andalucía, España (Coleoptera, Attelabidae) Resultado Familia Attelabidae Billberg, 1820 Tribu Attelabini Billberg, 1820 Attelabus nitens (Scopoli, 1763) Material estudiado: CÁDIZ: San Roque, Pinar del Rey, 2-V-1987, 2 ♂♂ y 1 ♀, 17-V-1992, 1 ♀, todos vareando Quercus suber L., J.

A key to the genera of Hoplapoderini and field observations on the host plant and reproductive behaviour of the new species are provided. Key words: Attelabidae, Apoderinae, Hoplapoderini, Madagascar, new genus, new species, Grewia Introduction In May 2002, among specimens of Attelabidae collected in Madagascar by David Hauck some months earlier, I received two males belonging to the apoderine tribe Hoplapoderini that could not be assigned to any known genus. A study of the rich collection of Madagascan attelabids at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, a few months later confirmed this diagnosis. During a month-long collecting expedition in Madagascar in December 2003 and January 2004, I collected the new taxon again, at a different locality, and could carry out some observations on its behaviour. Systematics Tribe Hoplapoderini Voss, 1926 Voss (1926) defined his tribe Hoplapoderini largely on the basis of features of the head and elytra. The new Madagascan genus fits into this tribe due to its tapered head, with maximum width near the basis, and its tuberculate elytra. Voss also provided a key to the Accepted by Q. Wang: 7 Oct. 2005; published: 2 Dec. 2005 37 ZOOTAXA genera of the tribe, but this is largely inadequate because of its heavy reliance on the 1089 presence and shape of what he called “abdominal lobes” (“Abdominallappen”).

Twenty-seven species are found in the Paleocene, 442 in the Eocene and 94 in the Oligocene. The greatest diversity of Curculionoidea is described from the Eocene of Europe and North America. The richest faunas are known from Eocene localities, Florissant (177 species), Baltic amber (124 species) and Green River formation (75 species). The family Curculionidae dominates in all Paleogene localities. Weevil species associated with herbaceous vegetation are present in most localities since the middle Paleocene. A list of Curculionoidea species and their distribution by location is presented. Keywords: Coleoptera; Curculionoidea; fossil weevil; faunal structure; Paleocene; Eocene; Oligocene 1. Introduction Research into the biodiversity of the past is very important for understanding the development of life on our planet. Insects are one of the Main components of both extinct and recent ecosystems. Coleoptera occupied a special place in the terrestrial animal biotas of the Mesozoic and Cenozoics, as they are characterized by not only great diversity but also by their ecological specialization.

Four tribes, 17 genera and 62 species are recognized. Original and additional descriptions are given, with illustrations of and keys to their taxa. The generic and subgeneric names of Voss' system are reviewed from the viewpoint of nomenclature. At the species level, 12 new species Auletobius planifrons, Notocyrtus caeligenus, Involvulus flavus, I. subtilis, I. comix, I. aes, I. lupulus, Deporaus tigris, D. insularis, D. eumegacephalus, D. septemtrionalis and D. rhynchitoides are described and 1 species Engnamptus sauteri are newly recorded from Japan. Six species and subspecies names Auletes carvus, A. testaceus and A. irkutensis japonicus, Auletobius okinatuaensis, Aderorhinus pedicellaris nigricollis and Rhynchites cupreus purpuleoviolaceus are synonymized under Auletobius puberulus, A. jumigatus, A. uniformis, Ad. crioceroides and I. cylindricollis, respectively. One new name Deporaus vossi is given as the replacement name of the primally junior homonym D. pallidiventris Voss, 1957 (nec Voss, 1924). Generic and subgeneric classification is revised in the following points. The genus Notocyrtus is revived as an independent genus including subgenera Notocyrtus s. str., Exochorrhynchites and Heterorhynchites. Clinorhynckites and Habrorhynchites are newly treated as each independent genera. Caenorhinus is newly treated as a valid subgenus of the genus Deporaus. The genera Neocoenorrhinus and Piazorhynckites are newly synonymized under Notocyrtus and Agilaus, respectively, in generic and subgeneric rank. A subgeneric name, Aphlorhynehites subgen.

Twenty-three species documented from the parkway are first records for the state. Of the nine capture methods used during the survey, Malaise traps were the most successful. 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. Sixteen species adventive to North America are documented from the parkway, including three species documented for the first time in the state. Range extensions are documented for two species. Images of five species new to Virginia are provided. Keywords: beetles, biodiversity, Malaise traps, national parks, new state records, Potomac Gorge.

The family Attelabidae is recorded for the fi rst time from Socotra Island, Yemen. A new genus Socotrorhinus gen. nov. is described and compared with similar and likely related groups from the tribe Rhinocartini. The differential diagnosis of this new genus is based primarily on the distinct shape and structure of the rostrum and elytra. Socotrorhinus boswelliae sp. nov. is described and its diagnostic characters are illustrated. The biology and geographical distribution of the new species, associated with frankincense trees (Boswellia spp., Burseraceae), is briefl y described. Key words.
