The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution
INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

The Longhorned Beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the George Washington Memorial Parkway
Banisteria, Number 44, pages 7-12 © 2014 Virginia Natural History Society The Longhorned Beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the George Washington Memorial Parkway Brent W. Steury U.S. National Park Service 700 George Washington Memorial Parkway Turkey Run Park Headquarters McLean, Virginia 22101 Ted C. MacRae Monsanto Company 700 Chesterfield Parkway West Chesterfield, Missouri 63017 ABSTRACT Eighty species in 60 genera of cerambycid beetles were documented during a 17-year field survey of a national park (George Washington Memorial Parkway) that spans parts of Fairfax County, Virginia and Montgomery County, Maryland. Twelve species are documented for the first time from Virginia. The study increases the number of longhorned beetles known from the Potomac River Gorge to 101 species. Malaise traps and hand picking (from vegetation or at building lights) were the most successful capture methods employed during the survey. 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. Notes on plant foraging associations are noted for some species. Two species are considered adventive to North America. Key words: Cerambycidae, Coleoptera, longhorned beetles, Maryland, national park, new state records, Potomac River Gorge, Virginia. INTRODUCTION that feed on flower pollen are usually boldly colored and patterned, often with a bee-like golden-yellow The Cerambycidae, commonly known as pubescence. Nocturnal species are more likely glabrous longhorned beetles because of the length of their and uniformly dark, while bicolored species (often antennae, represent a large insect family of more than black and red) are thought to mimic other beetles which 20,000 described species, including 1,100 in North are distasteful. -

PHEROMONE CHEMISTRY AND REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION IN THE SUBFAMILY LAMIINAE (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE) BY LINNEA R. MEIER DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Lawrence M. Hanks, Chair, Director of Research Professor May R. Berenbaum Professor Andrew V. Suarez Associate Professor Brian F. Allan ABSTRACT Research on the chemical ecology of cerambycid beetles has revealed that the pheromone chemistry of related species is often highly conserved. Sympatric species often share pheromone components, even having identical attractant pheromones. For example, many cerambycines native to different continents use pheromones composed of hydroxyalkanones and related alkanediols. Avoidance mechanisms of interspecific attraction in cerambycines that share pheromone components include segregation by seasonal and diel phenology and synergism and antagonism by minor pheromone components. Less is known about the pheromone chemistry of cerambycid species in the largest subfamily, the Lamiinae. As with the cerambycines, all known pheromones of lamiines are male-produced aggregation-sex pheromones, and pheromone chemistry has been conserved across continents. Lamiine pheromones identified to date are based on either hydroxyethers or terpenoids. The purpose of my dissertation research is to broaden the current understanding of pheromone chemistry in lamiines and to elucidate chemical mechanisms of reproductive isolation among sympatric species that share pheromone components. In Chapter 1, I summarize what is known about the pheromone chemistry of cerambycids, with emphasis on the subfamily Lamiinae. In Chapter 2, I identify the pheromone composition for two species of lamiines common in East-Central Illinois. -
Identifying Possible Pheromones of Cerambycid Beetles by Field Testing Known Pheromone Components in Four Widely Separated Regions of the United States

This apparent conservation of pheromone structures within the family suggests that field trials of common pheromone components could be used as a means of attracting multiple species, which then could be targeted for full identification of their pheromones. -

Zootaxa, Nomenclatural Changes Within West Indian Acanthocinini

MICHELI Department of Entomology National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution, P.O. Box 37012, MRC-187, Washington, DC 20013-7012, USA. E-mail: [email protected] The genus Styloleptus Dillon, 1956 belongs in the Acanthocinini, one of the largest tribes within the subfamily Lamiinae. This tribe has been plagued by a myriad of taxonomic problems due to the cryptic and extremely variable morphology. There are currently 22 species within the genus Styloleptus and they are mainly restricted to the West Indies (Monné & Bezark, 2010) with all of them occurring there except one that is found only in Central America (Belize). Two other species reach the US mainland. One of them, S. biustus LeConte, 1852, is the type-species. Dillon (1956) first described this genus for the two species found in the United States, not knowing where the highest diversity of the genus resided. Styloleptus is characterized by the broad, lateral pronotal tubercle placed generally at basal third, the pronotal disk without distinct tubercles, the subdepressed pronotum, and the head with a convex frons. Many species from the West Indies had already been described in other genera, but it was Gilmour (1963) who transferred them into Styloleptus and described two more species. He also erected -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Habitus photographs of the cerambycid types (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the Fernando de Zayas Collection, Havana, Cuba, are presented. Color photographs are available on the Internet. Lectotypes are herein designated for two taxa, Plectromerus pinicola Zayas and Phidola superba Zayas (= Eupogonius superbus (Zayas)). Resumen Se presentan fotografías de los tipos de cerambícidos (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) de la colección de Fernando de Zayas, La Habana, Cuba.

Key words: Greater Antilles, Caribbean, holotype, lectotype, neotype Introduction The late Fernando de Zayas (1912–1983) was an avid collector of insects and a member of the Cuban Academy of Science. Zayas published several works on cerambycids (1956, 1957, 1975) and his 1975 revision continues to be the most important work on the Cuban cerambycid fauna. His collection, located at the Zayas house in Havana, is housed in 500 Paris Museum-style, glass-topped boxes and is considered one of Cuba’s great natural history treasures. The authors recently provided checklists of the lampyrid and cerambycid holdings (Branham, 2006; Nearns, 2006). The cerambycid holdings are the most complete representation of the Cuban fauna known and include 46 holotypes, two syntype series and a neotype (Nearns, 2006). -
