It is hoped that several suggestions from the readership will be incorporated in future editions . •••••••••• You will have noticed a change in the Newsletter, the A5 format reduces greatly the production and postal costs - unlike some entomological bulletins we get no subsidy, Roy Anderson has very kindly offered to 'word-process' the Newsletter, this in itself makes for a more professional product. I hope the new look is greeted with approval. The rest is up to you - please send in contributions, especially useful are notes describing how to separate closely related species; these and other notes can be illustrated. Included here is the first part of Contents of' Journals, very few coleopterists take all three journals reviewed, so hopefully this will be well received.

    Species Composition of Coleoptera Families Associated with Live and Dead Wood in a Large Norway Spruce Plantation in Denmark

    Species composition of Coleoptera families associated with live and dead wood in a large Norway spruce plantation in Denmark Jens Reddersen & Thomas Secher Jensen Reddersen, J. & T.S. Jensen: Species composition of Coleoptera familites as­ sociated with live og dead wood in a large Norway spruce plantation in Den­ mark. Ent. Meddr. 71: 115-128: Copenhagen, Denmark, 2003. ISSN 0013-8851. For decades, the idea of various biotope types hosting unique plant and ani­ mal species associations and thus forming well-delimited species communities have continuously been debated. At any rate, it remains a practical empirical working concept in intensively exploited mosaic landscapes like in Denmark where biotope fragments are distinctly separated by man-made borders. In Denmark, conifer plantations dominated by Norway spruce, Picea abies L. con­ stitute such a well-delimited biotope type - at the same time widely distributed and with an insect fauna only poorly known. In two years, 1980-81, in Gludsted Plantation, Central Jutland, the arthro­ pod fauna was studied in six stands of mature well-tended Norway spruce on poor sandy acidic soils. A variety of sampling methods was employed with a minimum of four white bucket traps and two tray traps on the ground in each stand. In both years in some stands, ground emergence traps were set up as well as vertical series of white buckets in canopies at mean levels 6.6, 10.6 and 13.2 m. Additional sampling comprised vertical sticky trap series in canopies, sweep net sampling in low branches and winter bark search. Ground beetles, sawflies and the aphid-aphidophagous fauna were analysed in previous papers.

    Two New Ernobius Species from Cyprus (Coleoptera: Bostrichoidea: Ptinidae)

    Studies and Reports Taxonomical Series 9 (2): 583-590, 2013 Two new Ernobius species from Cyprus (Coleoptera: Bostrichoidea: Ptinidae) Petr ZAHRADNÍK Department of Forest Protection and Entomology, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences, Kamýcká 1176, CZ-165 21, Prague 6 - Suchdol, Czech Republic e-mail: [email protected] Taxonomy, new species, Coleoptera, Ptinidae, Ernobius, Cyprus, Palaearctic Region Abstract. Ptinidae are represented by 55 species in Cyprus, from which are four Ernobius species - Ernobius cupressi Chobaut, 1899, E. madoni Pic, 1930 (endemic to Cyprus), E. oertzeni Schilsky, 1900 and E. pini pini (Sturm, 1837). Two new species from genus Ernobius C. G. Thomson, 1859 are described here: E. benedikti sp. nov. and E. cyprogenius sp. nov. INTRODUCTION The Ptinid fauna of Cyprus has still insufficiently been explored. Lists of Ptinidae of Cyprus contain total of 55 species (Borowski 2007; Zahradník 2007), but findings of other Mediterranean species are more than probable (including findings of species new to science). The biggest part of Ptinidae of Cyprus constitutes subfamily Ptininae (21 species), followed by subfamilies Xyletininae (11 species), Anobiinae (7 species), Dorcatominae (6 species), Ernobiinae (5 species), Gibbinae and Dryophilinae (both 2 species) and Eucradinae (1 species). Only one endemic species is known from Cyprus - Ernobius madoni Pic, 1930. Genus Ernobius Thomson, 1859 has been represented in the Holarctic Region by about 80 species divided into 6 species groups (Johnson 1975). A few species were introduced into other regions, too. In the Palaearctic Region, it is represented by 50 species. There are 4 species know from Cyprus, 3 species are also known from Greece and Turkey.

Russian researchers from Petrozavodsk (Karelian Research Centre) , St Peters- burg (Komarov Botanical Institute) and Moscow (Moscow State University) were involved in the studies. The goal of the researches was to study the biolgical value of the prevailing forest fragments. An index of the value of the forest fragments was compiled. The index includes the amount and quality and suc- cession of the decaying wood in the sites. The groups studied were Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera and ap- hyllophoraceous fungi. Coleoptera species were were most numerous in Tapionaho, where there were over 200 spedies found of the total number of 282 found in the studies.

Nowoursynowska 159/34, 02-776 Warsaw, Poland E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT In the present, the seventh part of the series titled “Beetles (Coleoptera) of the Rogów region” presents two families, powderpost beetles (Bostrichidae) and spider and death-watch beetles (Ptinidae), as one of the better-known families of beetles occurring in the Rogów area. The faunistic data of presented species enriched by bionomical information. 4 species of powderpost beetles, 9 species of spider beetles and 30 species of death-watch beetles were recorded in the study area. Keywords: Insecta; Coleoptera; Bostrichidae; Ptinidae; Rogów region; faunistic data; bionomy 1. INTRODUCTION Until now, 2 species of powderpost beetles, 2 species of spider and 23 species of death- watch beetles has been reported from the Rogów region (Wiąckowski 1957a, 1957b, Kinelski & Szujecki 1959, Dominik 1966, Nunberg 1986, Borowski 1993a, 1993b, Borowski 2006, Mokrzycki 2011, Piętka 2013, Byk & al. 2013, Rutkiewicz & al. 2013 and Borowski & al. 2013).

ITE contributes to and draws upon the collective knowledge of the fourteen sister institutes which make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and freshwater systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natural or man-made change.

    Natural England Commissioned Report NECR236 A review of the status of the beetles of Great Britain The wood-boring beetles, spider beetles, woodworm, false powder-post beetles, hide beetles and their allies – Derodontidoidea (Derodontidae) and Bostrichoidea (Dermestidae, Bostrichidae and Ptinidae) Species Status No. 33 First published 30th August 2017 www.gov.uk/natural -england Foreword Natural England commission a range of reports from external contractors to provide evidence and advice to assist us in delivering our duties. The views in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of Natural England. Background Decisions about the priority to be attached This report should be cited as: ALEXANDER, to the conservation of species should be K.N.A, 2017. A review of the status of the beetles based upon objective assessments of the of Great Britain - The wood-boring beetles, spider degree of threat to species. The beetles, woodworm, false powder-post beetles, internationally-recognised approach to hide beetles and their allies – Derodontidoidea (Derodontidae) and Bostrichoidea (Dermestidae, undertaking this is by assigning species to Bostrichidae and Ptinidae) Natural England. one of the IUCN threat categories using the Commissioned Reports, Number236 IUCN guidelines. This report was commissioned to update the national threat status of beetles within the Derodontidae, Dermestidae, Bostrichidae and Ptinidae. It covers all species in these groups, identifying those that are rare and/or under threat as well as non-threatened and non-native species. Reviews for other invertebrate groups will follow.
