Young Department of Entomology 445 Russell Labs University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison, WI 53706 Abstract. A survey of Wisconsin Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) conducted from literature searches, collection inventories, and three years of field work (1997-1999), yielded 177 species representing nine families, two of which, Ochodaeidae and Ceratocanthidae, represent new state family records. Fifty-six species (32% of the Wisconsin fauna) represent new state species records, having not previously been recorded from the state. Literature and collection distributional records suggest the potential for at least 33 additional species to occur in Wisconsin.

BELLOTTI3 AND AART VAN SCHOONHOVEN3 1Vegetales Orgánicos C.T.A. 2Departmento de Biología, Universidad del Valle, Apartado Aéreo 25360, Cali, Colombia 3Parque Científico Agronatura, CIAT, Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical Apartado Aéreo, 6713 Cali, Colombia ABSTRACT The larvae of some species of Scarabaeidae, known locally as “chisas” (whitegrubs), are impor- tant pests in agricultural areas of the Cauca, Colombia. They form a complex consisting of many species belonging to several genera that affect the roots of commercial crops. The objec- tive of the present study was to identify the members of the complex present in two localities (Caldono and Buenos Aires) and collect basic information on their biology, economic impor- tance, and larval morphology. The first of two types of sampling involved sampling adults in light traps installed weekly throughout one year. The second method involved larval collec- tions in plots of cassava, pasture, coffee, and woodland. Each locality was visited once per month and 10 samples per plot were collected on each occasion, with each sample from a quad- rants 1 m2 by 15 cm deep, during 1999-2000. Light traps collected 12,512 adults belonging to 45 species and 21 genera of Scarabaeidae within the subfamilies Dynastinae, Melolonthinae, and Rutelinae. Members of the subfamily Dynastinae predominated with 48% of the species (mostly Cyclocephala), followed in decreasing order by Melolonthinae (35%) and Rutelinae (15%, principally Anomala).

Price Department of Biological Sciences Salisbury University This document is a pictorial reference of Maryland Scarabaeoidea genera (and sometimes species) that was created to expedite the identification of Maryland Scarabs. Our current understanding of Maryland Scarabs comes from “An Annotated Checklist of the Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) of Maryland” (Staines 1984). Staines reported 266 species and subspecies using literature and review of several Maryland Museums. Dr. Price and her research students are currently conducting a bioinventory of Maryland Scarabs that will be used to create a “Taxonomic Guide to the Scarabaeoidea of Maryland”. This will include dichotomous keys to family and species based on historical reports and collections from all 23 counties in Maryland. This document should be cited as: Hagadorn, M.A. and D.L.

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract Increasing forest management resulting from bark beetle attack in British Columbia's forests has created a need to assess the impact of single species management on local insect biodiversity. In the Fort St James Forest District, in central British Columbia, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Franco) (Fd) grows at the northern limit of its North American range. At the district level the species is rare (representing 1% of timber stands), and in the early 1990's growing populations of the Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsuage Hopkins) threatened the loss of all mature Douglas-fir habitat in the district.

    AN ELECTRONIC CHECKLIST OF THE NEW WORLD CHAFERS (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE: MELOLONTHINAE) Version 3 ARTHUR V. EVANS Research Associate, Department of Entomology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC; Department of Recent Invertebrates, Virginia Museum of Natural History, Martinsville, VA; Department of Biology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA; c/o1600 Nottoway Ave., Richmond, VA 23227, USA; [email protected] and ANDREW B. T. SMITH Canadian Museum of Nature, P.O. Box 3443, Station D, Ottawa, ON, K1P 6P4, Canada; [email protected] INTRODUCTION The following is a checklist of all Melolonthinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) found in the New World. It has been modified from Evans (2003), Evans and Smith (2005), and Smith and Evans (2005) and has been updated to 13 March 2009. Included in this checklist are all of the available names given for New World Melolonthinae (both valid and invalid). Tribes are listed in traditional order (pseudo-phylogenetically) with genera, species, and subspecies listed alphabetically within. Under each valid generic name the subgenera and synonymies are listed as are type species and, in some cases, citations for keys, checklists, and bibliographies. Listed under each valid species are synonymies, distributional data by country, and citations for new combinations and spellings. A complete bibliography is included in the “References” section of all papers mentioned in the checklist. The purpose of this checklist is to present accurate and complete information for all the names of Melolonthinae in the New World. The taxonomy herein is based on the current literature (even if we have unpublished data contradicting what has been published) and the nomenclature carefully follows the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.

  • The Morphology and Taxonomic Significance of the Male Genitalia of Coenonycha (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae)
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF JEAN HOYT PUCKLE DAVIDSON for theMASTER OF SCIENCE (Name) (Degree) in ENTOMOLOGY presented on May 4, 1970 (Major) (Date) Title: THE MORPHOLOGY AND TAXONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MALE GENITALIA OF COENONYCHA (COLEOPTERA, SCARABAEIDAE) Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Paul 0. Ritcher The genus Coenonycha contains 30 described species of small to medium sized scarabs.They are found in the arid and semi-arid regions of western United States and northern Baja California.The adults feed at night on several genera of xerophylous plants. An examination of the male genitalia of the 19 long-winged species indicates that the internal sac possesses characters which are stable within a species and are, therefore, taxonomically useful. These structures are a dorsal, toothed, knob-like sclerite and from one to four spinose fields on the enlarged portion of the sac.Variation in these structures within a species occurs in the number of teeth on the knob and spines in the fields. Sixteen new species of Coenonycha were discovered in the course of this study.They are indicated by letter in the text and phenetic tree and will be described elsewhere. The male genitalic structures of the 19 long-winged species are described in detail and illustrated. A key to these species, using primarily the basal knob and spinose fields is included.In addition, a key (modified from Cazier and Mc Clay, 1943) to all the described species of Coenonycha, using characters such as color, pilosity, clypeal reflection and pronatal punctation is provided. A key to the North American genera of Macrodacylini using the parameres, basal piece, basal apodeme, genital segment, and internal sac shows the diversity of genitalic structures in the tribe.Coenony, cha, Dichelonyx, and Gymnopyge are presently placed with Macrodac- tylus and Isonychus in the Macrodactylini.

Box 3443, Station D Ottawa, ON K1P 6P4, CANADA [email protected] Abstract For the first time, all family-group names in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) are evaluated using the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature to determine their availability and validity. A total of 383 family-group names were found to be available, and all are reviewed to scrutinize the correct spelling, author, date, nomenclatural availability and validity, and current classification status. Numerous corrections are given to various errors that are commonly perpetuated in the literature.
