This book could be used to follow the day-to-day collecting activities of myself and colleagues, who came to be known among ourselves as the Bugstrafe Team. However, I believe it more important that these notes provide access to specimen data presented in my taxonomic publications treating the native carabids. Thus, the specimen data can be viewed in a more holistic framework that includes the other co-occurring species, plus records of the collecting circumstances of the specimens. All of my taxonomic papers are listed in the Introduction, with those revisionary works essential for identifying any native Hawaiian carabid beetle. Thus, when one confronts a species treatment in a publication, or a listing of collecting data for any species, this publication can be consulted to learn more about what was encountered during that collecting event, what type of habitat was being sampled, or what collecting method was employed to procure that particular specimen. To facilitate finding such information, the field notes remain in chronological order. Each collecting lot represents an event, or a discrete set of contemporaneous collecting events, defined by the date, locality, collecting method, host plant or microhabitat. I have undertaken this presentation in order to follow the good example set by Dr. R. C. L. Perkins, who transcribed his Hawaiian field notes onto typed manuscript pages, long available only to Hawaiian entomological aficionados who haunted various museum and university archives looking for Perkins’ memorabilia. Fortunately, Dr. Neal Evenhuis has brought together an immense amount of Perkins’ notes in his incredibly useful edited book, Barefoot on Lava: The Journals and Correspondence of Naturalist R.C.L. Perkins in Hawai'i, 1892-1901 (Bishop Museum Bulletin in Zoology 7: 412 pp.). My notes rather more focus on carabid beetles, reflecting my much narrower grasp of Hawaiian natural history. But other insects that resulted from my field work—such as various beetle and sucking bug (Hemiptera) taxa—are mentioned where I was able to record them. Therefore, given label information on a Hawaiian insect specimen collected by me, the user will be able to learn more about what happened that day and place. I know that future generations will continue to be enthralled with Hawaiian biodiversity, and it is my intention that these notes provide a snapshot in time to which future scientists can refer to during their important and pleasurable work in the islands. James K. Liebherr, Ithaca, NY iv Revision of Hawaiian Carabidae Introduction James K. Liebherr Field Notes in support of a revision of Hawaiian Carabidae—1991–2005 Introduction This introduction provides supporting documentation for the following chapters of field notes. The notes that follow were written in the field—in tents or cabins at night or during rainy spells (or both), in airports waiting for flights, or in Bishop Museum while awaiting the next field operation—more or less contemporaneously with the recorded field activities. The original notebooks, which started as spiral bound flip books on lined paper and finished as bound Rite in the Rain notebooks with waterproof paper, are deposited in the Cornell University Archives. These transcribed notes are also preserved as an archival hard copy in the CU Archives alongside the original notebooks. When transcribing the notebooks, I removed any personal information such as phone numbers, and I fuzzed addresses of individuals, though I have retained directions on how to find specific collecting spots within natural areas. It is mandatory that anybody trying to follow these notes in order to enter State, Federal, or personal property anywhere in the State of Hawaii have the required permits to enter and conduct activities on such property. Any entry of municipal, governmental, or jointly administered private lands by helicopter requires a helicopter landing permit and applicable legal waivers issued by the appropriate authorities (State, Federal, or private), so all entries and associated activities must start with contacting local authorities to gain permission to enter and study nature. This is not only ethical behavior, but also required for the safety of everybody. The natural areas of Hawaii may seem idyllic, but they are unforgiving for the unprepared. The land forms include steep angles of repose and numerous hidden voids, and one step could be the last. This project started with my inability to answer what might seem a simple question. Professor Stewart Peck asked me in 1984, “Jim, what do you know about the Hawaiian anchomenines?” My stammered reply was “Uh, nothing.” This conversation took place in his kitchen during a post-ESA/CES-ESC Coleopterists’ Society gathering in Ottawa, with Bob Anderson, Quentin Wheeler, Stephen Nichols, and Bob Davidson all staying in Stewart’s and Jarmila Kukalova-Peck’s home. As I was then working on platynine carabid beetles (the more recently used, nomenclaturally correct name for “anchomenines”), I should have known something. But the Hawaiian fauna was completely foreign to me, even though it occupied one of our 50 United States. I endeavored to learn more about them, gazing through Dr. David Sharp’s Carabidae volume of the Fauna Hawaiiensis. The cuticular ornamentation and varied body forms pictured in Sharp’s volume intrigued my mind, and the extreme levels of diversity, island-specific endemism, and multiple, morphologically similar representative species on adjacent islands suggested these animals were an appropriate subject for extended evolutionary study. For the next eight years I continued my work on Mexican platynines, which was an organic outgrowth of my dissertation research on Agonum beetles centered in the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts. But in 1988, at the International Congress of Entomology in Vancouver, Dr. Al Samuelson showed me illustrations of two cave platynines collected by Dr. Frank Howarth in a cave in Kipahulu Valley, Maui. Al had heard from Prof. George Ball that I worked on platynines, and so asked me whether I would like to work with him to describe these two species. I agreed, and we co-authored a paper in Pan-Pacific Entomologist describing Atelothrus howarthi and Atelothrus aaae in 1992. Preparation of this manuscript showed my limitations in understanding Hawaiian platynines, as we placed the species generically based on their pronotal setation, in keeping with conventions established by David Sharp. However, the female reproductive tract characters were so different between these two species that I had some doubts about generic placement of them. More study ensued. 1 Revision of Hawaiian Carabidae Introduction James K. Liebherr The hook having been seriously set, I made plans for a 1991 sabbatic leave to be hosted by Bishop Museum in Honolulu, with the leave commencing as a 6-week family “vacation”, or “fake-ation”, where we would visit various islands together, and I would collect carabids. In retrospect this worked only because of my wife’s grace and forgiveness. I would not suggest it as a way to undertake a Hawaiian family vacation. The second portion of the Hawaiian leave involved collecting on various islands with

Pilgrim DEPT, OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY, NEW ZEALAND Abstract: Anisodactylus binotatus Fabr. 1787 (Col.: Carabidae), an introduced species now established in Canterbury (South Island), New Zealand, is reported for the first time. The literature respecting other carabids sometimes recorded as introduced is reviewed; Ago- nochila binotata (White, 1846), Agonum submetallicum (White, 1846), Hypharpax australasiae (Dejean, 1829) and Pentagonica vittipennis Chaudoir, 1877 are shown to be better considered as endemic to the Australia - New Zealand area. Other species are classed as either native to New Zealand, clearly introduced though not all established, or of doubtful occurrence in New Zealand. Introduction: The Carabidae of New Zealand are predominantly endemic species, but a small number of exotic species has been recorded. This paper reports a further introduc­ tion to the carabid fauna of this country and concludes with a survey of recorded exotic Carabidae in New Zealand. Specimens of the newly-recorded species were collected in domestic gardens in Christ­ church, and were included in a collection sent for identification to Dr. E. B. Britton, British Museum (Nat. Hist.), who kindly drew the writer's attention to the fact that they were so far unreported from New Zealand. Description of adult (from New Zealand specimens) Fig. 1.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Donald H. Pfister Danny Haelewaters STUDIES OF THE LABOULBENIOMYCETES: DIVERSITY, EVOLUTION, AND PATTERNS OF SPECIATION ABSTRACT CHAPTER 1: Laboulbeniales is one of the most morphologically and ecologically distinct orders of Ascomycota. These microscopic fungi are characterized by an ectoparasitic lifestyle on arthropods, determinate growth, lack of asexual state, high species richness and intractability to culture. DNA extraction and PCR amplification have proven difficult for multiple reasons. DNA isolation techniques and commercially available kits are tested enabling efficient and rapid genetic analysis of Laboulbeniales fungi. Success rates for the different techniques on different taxa are presented and discussed in the light of difficulties with micromanipulation, preservation techniques and negative results. CHAPTER 2: The class Laboulbeniomycetes comprises biotrophic parasites associated with arthropods and fungi.

    Synopsis of the Heteroptera or True Bugs of the Galapagos Islands ' 4k. RICHARD C. JROESCHNE,RD SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 407 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

RESEARCH (30%): (1) Systematic revision of Cyphocoleus beetles of New Caledonia. Based on substantial high-quality taxonomic material collected by Dr. Geoff Monteith, Queensland Museum, I have revised the 22 species of Cyphocoleus¬–12 newly described–placing them phylogenetically within the carabid tribe Odacanthini. Cyphocoleus belong to a newly proposed subtribe that exhibits an amphiantarctic biogeographic pattern, supporting the presence of Cyphocoleus in New Caledonia since Late Cretaceous. (2) Phylogenetics of Mecyclothorax and tribe Moriomorphini. This analysis addresses phylogenetic relationships among genera of the carabid tribe Moriomorphini, an Austral taxon distributed from Australia across the Pacific to Chile. This project has involved a sabbatic leave in New Zealand which allowed me to revise the New Zealand Mecyclothorax species and describe the new genera Meonochilus and Rossjoycea. A major impending project entails revision of the Mecyclothorax beetles of New Caledonia. (3) Revisionary systematics of native Hawaiian and Tahitian Carabidae. The native Hawaiian carabid beetle fauna comprises about 420 species. Since I commenced fieldwork in 1991 I have revised species in three independent radiations; the endemic genus Blackburnia (133 extant plus 7 extinct species), the Austral-Pacific genus Mecyclothorax (239 Hawaiian species), and Bembidion (23 native Hawaiian species).

As in many other countries, large areas of native forest have been replaced by other land cover and are now in exotic pasture grassland or plantation forest. Ground beetles (Carabidae) are often used as ecological indicators, they provide ecosystem services such as pest control, and some species are endangered. However, few studies in New Zealand have assessed the habitat value for carabid beetles of natural forest, managed regenerating natural forest, pine plantation forest and pasture. Methods: We compared the carabid beetle assemblages of natural forest of Nothofagus solandri var solandri (also known as Fuscospora solandri or black beech), regenerating N. solandri forest managed for timber production, exotic pine plantation forest and exotic pasture, using pitfall traps.
