Additions, Deletions and Corrections to the Staphylinidae in the Irish Coleoptera Annotated List, with a Revised Check-List of Irish Species
Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society Number 41 (2017) ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO THE STAPHYLINIDAE IN THE IRISH COLEOPTERA ANNOTATED LIST, WITH A REVISED CHECK-LIST OF IRISH SPECIES Jervis A. Good1 and Roy Anderson2 1Glinny, Riverstick, Co. Cork, Republic of Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 21 Belvoirview Park, Belfast BT8 7BL, Northern Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> Abstract Since the 1997 Irish Coleoptera – a revised and annotated list, 59 species of Staphylinidae have been added to the Irish list, 11 species confirmed, a number have been deleted or require to be deleted, and the status of some species and names require correction. Notes are provided on the deletion, correction or status of 63 species, and a revised check-list of 710 species is provided with a generic index. Species listed, or not listed, as Irish in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera (2nd edition), in comparison with this list, are discussed. The Irish status of Gabrius sexualis Smetana, 1954 is questioned, although it is retained on the list awaiting further investgation. Key words: Staphylinidae, check-list, Irish Coleoptera, Gabrius sexualis. Introduction The Staphylinidae (rove-beetles) comprise the largest family of beetles in Ireland (with 621 species originally recorded by Anderson, Nash and O’Connor (1997)) and in the world (with 55,440 species cited by Grebennikov and Newton (2009)). Since the publication in 1997 of Irish Coleoptera - a revised and annotated list by Anderson, Nash and O’Connor, there have been a large number of additions (59 species), confirmation of the presence of several species based on doubtful old records, a number of deletions and corrections, and significant nomenclatural and taxonomic changes to the list of Irish Staphylinidae. -

Additions and Corrections to Enumeratio Coleopterorum Fennoscandiae, Daniae Et Baltiae

Many Flea Beetles are among the most affective jumpers in the animal kingdom, sometimes better than their namesakes the true Fleas (Siphonaptera). However, despite some intensive study of the anatomy and function of the metafemoral spring (Barth, 1954; Ker, 1977) the true function of this jumping mechanism remains a mystery. It probably is some sort of voluntary Catch, in- volving build-up of tension from the large muscles that insert on the metafemoral spring (Fig. 1), and theo a quick release of this energy. Ofcourse some Flea Beetles jump better than others, but basically all have this internal metafemoral spring floating by attachment from large muscles in the relatively enlarged bind femoral capsule (see Fig. 1 ). In fact Flea Beetles can usually be easily separated from other beetles, including chrysomelid subfa- milies, by their greatly swollen bind femora. There are a few genera of Alticinae that have a metafemoral spring and yet do not jump. Actually there are a few genera that are considered to be Alticinae that lack the metafemo- ral spring, e. g. Orthaltica (Scherer, 1974, 1981b - as discussed in this Symposium). Also the tribe Decarthrocerini contains three genera from Africa that Wilcox (1965) con- sidered as Galerucinae, but now thinks to be intermediate between Galerucinae and Alti- cinae; at least one of these genera does have a metafemoral spring (Wilcox, personal communication, and Fürth, unpublished data). -

REVIEW OF CASSIDINAE (COLEOPTERA: CHRYSOMELIDAE) OF THE FAUNA OF LATVIA. – Latvijas Entomologs, 47: 27-57. Abstract. New faunal and ecological information on the leaf-beetle subfamily Cassidinae of the Latvian fauna are presented. Bibliographical information on this group is summarized for the first time. All hitherto known faunal data are given for 20 species. In total, 2111 specimens were studied. Two species, Cassida atrata FABRICIUS, 1787 and C. subreticulata SUFFRIAN, 1844, are excluded from the list of Latvian Coleoptera. An annotated list of Latvian Cassidinae is given, including 3 genera and 21 species. Key words: Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae, Latvia, fauna, distribution, ecology, bibliography. Introduction Latvian tortoise beetles have been irregularly and inadequately investigated until There are 2760 species of the subfamily now. For example, in M. Stiprais (1977) Cassidinae STEPHENS, 1831 or tortoise beetles publication, faunal data on 9 species of Cassida so far known in the world fauna (Borowiec and Hypocassida can be found. In 1993, A. 1999). Of these, four genera and 38 species are Barševskis published his monograph “The reported for Eastern Europe (Biekowski 2004). -

Among them four are new to Italy: Atheta alpigrada, A. reissi, Schistoglossa pseudogemina and Cypha carinthiaca. They are discussed with further 19 species considered relevant for rarity and geographic distribution. The biogeographic analysis shows a prevalence of widely distributed species. Among those with restricted distribution some are characteristic for the Rhaetian Alps, others point out the importance of the Adige river valley as a biogeographic barrier. Some southern Keywords: Staphylinidae, species occur in thermophilous forests and in wetlands. The presence of rare species faunistics, new records, Alps, in protected areas, mostly in “Sites of Community Importance”, is evidenced. Trentino, Italy Introduction The aim of this work is the publication of a large amount of data on rove beetles (Sta- phylinidae), the largest family of Coleoptera (more than 60,000 species described up to date), collected by the author in Val di Non since the sixties of the past century. Year after year, I tried to sample every kind of macro- and microhabitat occurring in that area, with the aim of representing the diversity in this particular valley, which connects the Rhaetian and Dolomitic areas from west to east, and the metamorphic Central Alps and the carbonatic Prealps from north to south.
