The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine " THE NEW FOREST, JUNE 1917. \.ft BY JAMES ,r. w.vriCER, M.A., r.:n^., f.l.s;-. .ax From June 7tli to 28th Mr. G. C. Champion and I were ^te: of om" old friend Dr. D. Sharp at Brocdvenhui-st, and the experiences during this time of two entomologists, who may fairly lay claim to the title of " veterans," in this classic locality, may not he devoid of interest. Onr visit was attended, on the whole, with very fair results as regards collecting, and the only drawhack to its complete enjoyment was tlie fact that our genial host, owing to indifferent health, was unahle to accompan}^ us on an}' of our excursions. We Avere favoured with excellent weather during practically the whole of our stay, and the Forest was looking its very hest, and teemed with insect-life, including the inevitable biting Tabanid flies, which were in more than their usual force, and the still more annoying and insidious " midges,'' which in some shady situations made continuous work almost inipossible. The abundance of dragon-flies, especially of the beautiful blue and green Calopferyx, along the forest streams and in the moist parts of the enclosures, was also noteworthy. One feature of the season was the drj^iess of the bogs, as it was possible to venture on many places which at ordinar}' times are quite inaccessible ; but this condition was not favourable to the pursuit of aquatic beetles, and at no time Avere we tempted to use the water- net. Much of our time was spent in long tramps to remote parts of the Forest in search of timber fit to work for Goleoptera, but it has alwa^^s been our experience that to find really good wood for this purpose is an event of the rarest occurrence, and that trees in the right condition are indeed few and far between. It is true that there were numbers of huge oak boughs on the ground, broken off in the last winter b}^ the weight of snow, as well as many beeches, some of very large dimensions, torn up l)y the roots b^^ the wind and lying prostrate ; but these, almost without exception, were in too fresh condition to yield anything of value. This Avas also the case Avith the ncAv stumps in the enclosures, where the trees, chiefly pine, oak and birch, Avere being felled Avholesale by gangs of Canadian and Portuguese lumbermen, but we were glad to see that the line old oaks and beeches of the Forest proper Avore spared so far. Some of the productive dead trees that I had knoAvn in previous years had disappeared, and most of those remaining Avere as dr}-- as tinder, and too far gone in decay for the majority of Avood-frequenting beetles. Still, A\'e occasionally came across a fairly good stump or pile of cord-wood, and our captures on these included Pyrochroa coccinea and Cistela ceram- hoides, rareh' ; Syncliifa Jitylandis, also rare, on a small and A'ery dry r 170 [August, dead beech ; TiUiis elongatus, including one of the black variety amhidans F., and Leptura scutellata, fairl}'' commonly; and occasional specimens of Scydmaemis exiUs, Cicones variegatus, FJegaderus dis- sectus (nowadays one of the common Forest beetles), TJiymalus Umhatus, Pediacus dermestoides, Melasis huprestoides, Mycetochares hipustulata, Clinocara tetratoma, and other species characteristic of the locality. Tomoxia higuftata was widely distributed, and was met with in large numbers on a standing dead beech, running and flying with great agility, and b}'^ no means easy to secure without damage. One specimen of CoJydium eJongatum, a beetle which in recent years has been taken more freely than of old, was found in the course of our last morning's Avalk, running on a large oak log. The well-known timber-yard at Brocken- hurst produced Fhloeotrya rxifipes rarely, and Laemopldoeus dupUcatus in nmubers, emerging from the cracks in newly-sawn oak butts. My companion found a large 5 example of Atlious rhomheus mider loose beech bark, and I obtained two pupae, one of which shortly afterwards produced a fine J , so dark in colour that at fi.i-st sight I thought I had only the common Melanotus rujipes. Liodes orMcularis, Enicmus festaceiis, and Spliindus duhius were found more or less commonl}"^ in powdery fungus under loose bark. A small oak, long known to both of us as one of the few trees in the Forest infested with Cossus, gave us each one specimen of the great prize of our visit, Velleius dilatatus, as well as Tachimis scapularis, Qtiedi^is maurus Sahib, {fageti Thorns.), brevicornis, and siihapicalis Soj, Lath- rohium elongatum var. fraudulentiim, Hister vierdarius, Ep)uraea decemguttata (in numbers) and two or three specimens of an Omalium which Dr. Sharp says is O.Jlorale var. nigrum Grav. The hawthorn and hoUy blossom, which had been of ver}'- short duration this year, were practically over on our arrival, but Orsodacna lineola and its var. Iiumeralis were beaten in some numbers from one holly tree which still retained a few flowers. Besides swarms of Lepido- pterous larvae of ordinary kinds, among which the beautiful caterpillar of Polyploca ridens was specially abundant, the oak boughs produced nothing better than an occasional Silpha quadripiinctata or Corymhites metallicus, Avith Rhyiichites piubescens in fair numbers. Polydrust(S flavipes, in beautiful fresh condition, came freely off birch with Deporaiis megaceplialus sparingly ; and crab-apple produced Pogonochaerus den- tatus and Phyncliites coeruleus, with AntJionomus pomorum in numbers. Several very small and stoutly built examples of the latter insect proved to be dwarf males of the species, a form neither of us had previously met with. One specimen only of Agrilus viridis was beaten out of an im.] 171 old sallow tree. On the whole, it appeared to be rather too late in the season for the special Elateridae of the Forest; Elater sanguinolentus, which at this time last year could be beaten ad libitum from furze bushes and small pines, was now very scarce and presented no varieties of any note ; E. elongatalus was twice swept off bracken, one E. miniatus was taken on the wing, and one Corymhites hipmtulatus was found walking on an old stump. The sweeping-net was constantly in use, at any rate by myself, and the freshness and luxuriance of the herbage and flowers in the Forest })aths gave promise of many good insects, but the results were, on the whole, somewhat scanty. The best species taken by this method were IlomaJota liepatica (one fine d" ), Amphicijllis globus, Triai'throii viarkeli, Hister purpiirascens, Meligethes pedicularius, Thvoscus carini- frons, Dorcatoma chrysomelina (not met with in its usual habitat), Crypfocephalus bipunctatus var. lineola and CfuJcratus, Lamprosoma concolor, Phyllobrotica 4<-7nactilata, Phyllotreta tetrastigma, Cono- palpus testaceus, Mordellistena ahdominalis ( $ $ oniy)> Atactogenes exaratns, Bagous lutulosus (1), etc. Sweeping in boggy places pro- duced Paederus caligatus, Chaefocnema conficsa, and Bagous limosus, besides OrcJiestes iota, just appearing on Myrica gale, and Donacia comari in endless variety of colouring ; D. crassipes was taken sparingly on floating leaves of NupTiar luteum on one of the streams. Strangalia nigra was apparently less common than usual, but Anop>lodera sex- guttata turned up all over the Forest in rose and bramble flowers, and was to be found in plenty at its head-quarters in New Park Enclosm-e on the umbels of Conopodium denudatum (earth-nut) and Oenantlie crocata. One specimen of a rare but recurrent unicolorous black variety of this Longicorn was taken here on June 18th. Garahus niteiis and Calosoma inquisitor, though common Forest species enough, were welcome to one who had never before seen either of these conspicuous beetles alive. We were somewhat disappointed to find that the best locality for TycTiius (juinquejyunctatics had been spoiled, for the time being at any rate, by the herbage having been cleared away in the ride where its food-plant, Lathyrus macrorrhizus, grows most plentifulh% and only a very few specimens of this beautiful weevil could be obtained. The season promised exceedingly well for the Forest butterflies, some of which were appearing in great force towards the end of our visit. On our arrival, Cyaniris argiolus was still on the wing, and Brenthis selene was abundant and in beautifully fresh condition, its congener, B. euplirosyne, being still plentiful but decidedly passe. This was also the case with Pararge egeria, of which a few specimens of a new p2 172 [August, Lrood were observed during our last week. EpineplieU ianira was true to its usvial time of appearance on June 16th, but the first specimens of Argynnis adippe and Lycaena aegon were noticed on the ISth, followed the next day b}^ Limenifis sihglla and Dryas papJiia, surel^'a very early date for all tliese species. The two last mentioned were fully out and abundant by the 22ud, and L. sihylla even began to show decided signs of wear before we left. One pupa of D. paphia, a veritable jewel in its brilliant silver ornamentation, *was found suspended from the under side of a fallen beech trunk ; and a single specimen only of the var. valezina was seen to settle (of course well out of reach) on a flower of the yellow Avater-lily which we were watching at tbe time for Donacias. A. adip-pe^ tliough not as nmnerous as its larger relative, was fairly common, and of the few examples that I netted, one $ was quite a nice variety, with enlarged spots, darkened borders, and ground-colom- much suffused with olivaceous. Specimens of Fyrameis atalanfa, presumably immigrants, were first noticed on June 15th, and were often seen about the Forest afterwards, some of them being almost in " cabinet " condition.

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.

The formation of the Ancient Tree Forum has brought together a wide range of disciplines involved in tree management and conservation, and has led to important cross-fertilisation of ideas which have enhanced the ecological understanding of the relationships between tree and fungal biology, on the one hand, and saproxylic invertebrates, on the other. This has had tremendous benefits in promoting good conservation practices. Summary The saproxylic beetle Index of Ecological Continuity (IEC) was originally developed as a means of producing a simple statistic which could be used in grading a site for its significance to the conservation of saproxylic (wood-decay) beetles based on ecological considerations rather than rarity. The approach has received good recognition by the conservation agencies and several important sites have been designated as a result of this approach to interpreting site species lists as saproxylic assemblages of ecological significance. The Index is based on a listing of the species thought likely to be the remnants of the saproxylic beetle assemblage of Britain’s post-glacial wildwood, and which have survived through a history of wood pasture management systems in certain refugia.

In september 1994 werden twee exemplaren gevangen onder schors van esdoorn en in oktober 2003 één exemplaar onder schors van beuk in verschillende parkbossen in Amsterdam. Alle bestudeerde exemplaren van het genus Pediacus uit museum- en privéverzamelingen bleken P. depressus te zijn, waarmee P. dermestoides makkelijk kan worden verward. De determinatiekenmerken van beide soorten worden kort besproken.De verspreiding van beide soorten in Nederland wordt weergegeven. De ontdekking van P. dermestoides in Nederland is niet zo verwonderlijk omdat hij tevens voorkomt in Duitsland, Frankrijk en Groot-Brittannië. Wij verwachten dat er nog meer vindplaatsen bekend zullen worden. Inleiding Vondsten van Pediacus dermestoides De familie Cucujidae bestaat uit afgeplatte kevers die voorna- Het W.H.
