Coleoptera Carabidae) in the Ramsar Wetland: Dayet El Ferd, Tlemcen, Algeria
Biodiversity Journal , 2016, 7 (3): 301–310 Diversity of Ground Beetles (Coleoptera Carabidae) in the Ramsar wetland: Dayet El Ferd, Tlemcen, Algeria Redouane Matallah 1,* , Karima Abdellaoui-hassaine 1, Philippe Ponel 2 & Samira Boukli-hacene 1 1Laboratory of Valorisation of human actions for the protection of the environment and application in public health. University of Tlemcen, BP119 13000 Algeria 2IMBE, CNRS, IRD, Aix-Marseille University, France *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT A study on diversity of ground beetle communities (Coleoptera Carabidae) was conducted between March 2011 and February 2012 in the temporary pond: Dayet El Ferd (listed as a Ramsar site in 2004) located in a steppe area on the northwest of Algeria. The samples were collected bimonthly at 6 sampling plots and the gathered Carabidae were identified and coun - ted. A total of 55 species belonging to 32 genera of 7 subfamilies were identified from 2893 collected ground beetles. The most species rich subfamilies were Harpalinae (35 species, 64%) and Trechinae (14 species, 25.45%), others represented by one or two species. Accord- ing to the total individual numbers, Cicindelinae was the most abundant subfamily compris- ing 38.81% of the whole beetles, followed by 998 Harpalinae (34.49%), and 735 Trechinae (25.4%), respectively. The dominant species was Calomera lunulata (Fabricius, 1781) (1087 individuals, 37.57%) and the subdominant species was Pogonus chalceus viridanus (Dejean, 1828) (576 individuals, 19.91%).

A. K. Rozhdestvensky HISTORY of the DINOSAUR FAUNA of ASIA
A. K. Rozhdestvensky HISTORY OF THE DINOSAUR FAUNA OF ASIA AND OTHER CONTINENTS AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING PALEOGEOGRAPHY* The distribution and evolution of dinosaur faunas during the period of their existence, from the Late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous, shows a close connection with the paleogeography of the Mesozoic. However these questions were hard to examine on a global scale until recently, because only the dinosaurs of North America were well known, where during the last century were found their richest deposits and where the best paleontologists were studying them — J. Leidy, E. Cope, O. Marsh, R. Lull, H. Osborn, C. Gilmore, B. Brown, and later many others. On the remaining continents, including Europe, where the study of dinosaurs started earlier than it did in America, the information was rather incomplete due to the fragmentary condition of the finds and rare, episodic studies. The Asian continent remained unexplored the longest, preventing any intercontinental comparisons. Systematic exploration and large excavations of dinosaur locations in Asia, which began in the last fifty years (Osborn, 1930; Efremov, 1954; Rozhdestvenskiy, 1957a, 1961, 1969, 1971; Rozhdestvenskiy & Chzhou, 1960; Kielan-Jaworowska & Dovchin, 1968; Kurochkin, Kalandadze, & Reshetov, 1970; Barsbold, Voronin, & Zhegallo, 1971) showed that this continent has abundant dinosaur remains, particularly in its central part (Fig. 1). Their study makes it possible to establish a faunal connection between Asia and other continents, correlate the stratigraphy of continental deposits of the Mesozoic, because dinosaurs are reliable leading forms, as well as to make corrections in the existing paleogeographic structure. The latter, in their turn, promote a better understanding of the possible paths of distribution of the individual groups of dinosaurs, the reasons for their appearance, their development, and disappearance. -

Academic Editor: Peter Saenger Received: 24 February 2015 / Accepted: 21 April 2015 / Published: 30 April 2015 Abstract: Mangrove is an evergreen, salt tolerant plant community, which grows in inter-tidal coastal zones of tropical and subtropical regions of the world. They are ecologically important for many fauna species and are rich in food resources and consist of many different vegetation structures. They serve as ideal foraging and nursery grounds for a wide array of species such as birds, mammals, reptiles, fishes and aquatic invertebrates. In spite of their crucial role, around 50% of mangrove habitats have been lost and degraded in the past two decades. The fauna diversity of mangrove habitat at Marudu Bay, Sabah, East Malaysia was examined using various methods: i.e. aquatic invertebrates by swap nets, fish by angling rods and cast nets, reptiles, birds, and mammals through direct sighting. The result showed that Marudu Bay mangrove habitats harbored a diversity of fauna species including 22 aquatic invertebrate species (encompassing 11 crustacean species, six mollusk species and four worm species), 36 fish species, 74 bird species, four reptile species, and four mammal species. -

SzirAki Data to the knowledge of the Asian Ascalaphidae (Neuroptera), with description of a new sub- species -Ascalaphidae collected in different countries of Asia, and deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum were examined. Altogether 21 species were in the studied material. One of them was represented by a new subspecies, Bubpsis andromache$~uzaessp. n. Its description is given. One or more of the determined ascalaphid species was/were new to the fauna of India, Indonesia, Kazachstan, Laos, Nepal, Pakistan, Taiwan and Yemen. Key words: Ascalaphidae, Hungarian Natural History Museum, new subspecies. INTRODUCTION In spite of the relatively large body of the species belonging to this family, Ascalaphidae is one of the badly abandoned groups within the insect order Neuroptera, especially as regards the fauna of Asia. Since the monograph of Van der Weele (1909), and the compendium of Navas (1 913), no world-wide revisional work was written about the owlflies, and a modern revision is also lacking in the case of Asian ascalaphid species. The earlier data on the distribution of Asian ascalaphids were summarized in a recent annotated checklist (Sziraki 1998), however, most of the species are known only from a few, or even from a single (i.e. the type) locality. The main aim of the present paper is to give a contribution to the knowledge of the range of the Asian owlfly species represented in the Neuroptera collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. -

Interestingly, subsequent studies have recognized another morphologically similar species, J. tricarinata, from the same locality in Tibet based on photographic evidence only. Despite these reports, no studies have examined the referred specimens for either record to confirm their taxonomic identifications with robust comparisons to congener species. Here, we examine the referred specimen of the record of J. kumaonensis from southeastern Tibet, China; recently collected specimens from the same locality in southeastern Tibet; type specimens; and topotypic specimens of both J. kumaonensis and J. tricarinata, to clarify the taxonomic identity of the focal population from southeastern Tibet, China. -

On four presumed "Prothyma" species from China and the Oriental region (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) Fabio CASSOLA Abstract Based on examination of male genitalia and other morphological features, the true taxonomic placement of four poorly known species incorrectly placed in the genus Prothyma HOPE, 1838, is established: Cylindera (Cylindera) lautissima (DoiCHTOUROFF, 1888), comb, n., Cylindera (Cylindera)pseudocylindriformis (W. HORN, 1914), comb, n., Probstia (gen. n.) triumphalis (W. HORN, 1902), comb. n. and Probstia triumphaloides (SAWADA & WlESNER, 1999), comb. n. Key Words: Coleoptera, Cicindelidae, Prothyma, Cylindera, Probstia, new genus, new combinations, tiger beetles. Zusammenfassung Basierend auf der Untersuchung von männlichen Genitalien und anderen Körpermerkmalen wurde für vier wenig bekannte, irrtümlich in die Gattung Prothyma HOPE, 1838, plazierte Arten die richtige taxonomische Stellung geklärt: Cylindera (Cylindera) lautissima (DOKHTOUROFF, 1888), comb, n., Cylindera (Cylindera) pseudocylindriformis (W. HORN, 1914), comb, n., Probstia (gen. n.) triumphalis (W. HORN, 1902), comb. n. und Probstia triumphaloides (SAWADA & WlESNER, 1999) comb. n. Introduction The tiger beetle genus Prothyma HOPE, 1838 (= Euryoda LACORDAIRE, 1843), type genus of the cicindeline subtribe Prothymina W. HORN, 1910, was first reviewed by RlVALlER (1964), who re-defined the entire genus based on new characters, such as the peculiar architecture of the inner sac of male aedeagus. His revision resulted in the resurrection of several genera {Megalomma WESTWOOD, 1842, Peridexia CHAUDOIR, 1860, Physodeutera LACORDAIRE, 1843,OxygoniolaW.HORN, 1892, VataFAVVEL, 1903,Euryarthron GuÉRlN, 1849, Rhytidophaena BATES, 1891) which had been unduly linked to Prothyma by HORN (1926).
