Twenty-seven species (35% of the Wisconsin fauna) represent new state records, having never been previously recorded from the state. Wisconsin distribution, along with relevant collecting techniques and natural history information, are summarized. The Wisconsin nitidulid and kateretid faunae are compared to reconstructed and updated faunal lists for Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and south-central Canada.

    RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DEAD WOOD AND ARTHROPODS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES by MICHAEL DARRAGH ULYSHEN (Under the Direction of James L. Hanula) ABSTRACT The importance of dead wood to maintaining forest diversity is now widely recognized. However, the habitat associations and sensitivities of many species associated with dead wood remain unknown, making it difficult to develop conservation plans for managed forests. The purpose of this research, conducted on the upper coastal plain of South Carolina, was to better understand the relationships between dead wood and arthropods in the southeastern United States. In a comparison of forest types, more beetle species emerged from logs collected in upland pine-dominated stands than in bottomland hardwood forests. This difference was most pronounced for Quercus nigra L., a species of tree uncommon in upland forests. In a comparison of wood postures, more beetle species emerged from logs than from snags, but a number of species appear to be dependent on snags including several canopy specialists. In a study of saproxylic beetle succession, species richness peaked within the first year of death and declined steadily thereafter. However, a number of species appear to be dependent on highly decayed logs, underscoring the importance of protecting wood at all stages of decay. In a study comparing litter-dwelling arthropod abundance at different distances from dead wood, arthropods were more abundant near dead wood than away from it. In another study, ground- dwelling arthropods and saproxylic beetles were little affected by large-scale manipulations of dead wood in upland pine-dominated forests, possibly due to the suitability of the forests surrounding the plots.

New species of the genus Physoronia from the Far East and Kryzhanovskiella gen. n. from Australia, with taxonomic notes on the Pocadius complex (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) A. G. KlREJTSHUK Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, 199034, Russia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract - Physoronia taiwanensis sp. n. (Taiwan) and Physoronia intermedia sp. n. (Russian Far East) are described. New synonymy for the taxa Physoronia REITTER, 1884 (= Lordyrodes REITTER, 1884, syn. n., Pocadioides GANGLBAUER, 1899, syn. n.) as well as for Pocadioides gracilis JELÍNEK, 1978 (= Lordyrodes kaszabi KlREJTSHUK, 1984, syn. n.) is established. Kryzhanovskiella gen. n. is proposed for Atarphia aequilibris KlREJTSHUK, 1986 and Atarphia pecki KlREJTSHUK, 1986 (type species). Placement of Omositoides SCHAUFUSS, 1892 in the Pocadius complex of genera is dis­ cussed. With 16 figures. Key words - Coleoptera, Nitidulidae, Nitidulinae, Nitidulini, Systematics, new genus, new species, Russian Far East, Taiwan, Australia, synonymy, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION Relationships between species of Physoronia REITTER, 1884, Lordyrodes REITTER, 1884 and Pocadioides GANGLBAUER, 1899 were established by KlREJT­ SHUK (1997), and his interpretation was later supported and partly revised (JELÍ­ NEK 1999). Nevertheless, even the species described before 1997 do not allow a clear separation of the subgenera. One of the new species described below shares the characters of different "subgenera" and, therefore makes the previous interpre­ tation useless. JELÍNEK (1999) made many valuable remarks on the position of this group; however, its proposed relationship to the genus Ussuriphia KlREJTSHUK, 1992 can scarcely be recognized, because the similarities of these groups are the result of parallel development of some characters rather than of common ancestry (KlREJTSHUK & KVAMME 2002).

The group is related to the P o c a d iu s complex (based on larval and adult morphology) and is charac­ terized by the following adult characters in combination: body form elongate and convex, pronotal and elytral margins narrowly explanate, vestiture of setae relatively sparse, length of antennomere 11 smaller than 9 and 10 combined, and metacoxae approximate with a moderately narrow inter- coxal process. Three genera are described as new: Pocadiolycra Kirejtshuk and Leschen, gen. nov. (type species: Pocadiolycra peruensis Kirejtshuk and Leschen, sp. nov.; P. guyanaensis Kirejtshuk, sp. nov.), T a g m a ly c r a Kirejtshuk and Leschen, gen. nov. (type species: T a g m a ly c r a a s h e i Kirejtshuk and Leschen, sp. nov.) and Thalycrinella Kirejtshuk, gen. nov. (type species: Neothalycra latitibialis Audisio and Kirejtshuk, 1983), The species Quadrifrons castaneus Blatchley, 1916 (= Cychramus zimmermani Horn 1879, new synonymy), Poeadionta dentipes (Grouvelle, 1898), and Pleuroneces montanus Olliff, 1891 are redescribed.
