    Classification, Natural History, and Evolution of Epiphloeinae (Coleoptera: Cleridae)

    A N N A L E S Z O O L O G I C I (Warszawa), 2008, 58(1): 1-34 CLASSIFICATION, NATURAL HISTORY, AND EVOLUTION OF EPIPHLOEINAE (COLEOPTERA: CLERIDAE). PART VI. THE GENERA EPIPHLAEUS SPINOLA AND OPITZIUS BARR WESTON OPITZ Kansas Wesleyan University, Department of Biology, 100 East Claflin Avenue, Salina KS 67401-6196, USA; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract.— New World genus Epiphlaeus is redefined and evolutionarily linked to its sister genus Opitzius Barr. Epiphlaeus includes six species as follows: E. adonis sp. nov., E. duo- decimmaculatus (Klug), E. fundurufus sp. nov., E. princeps (Gorham), E. pulcherrimus (Gorham), E. quattuordecimmaculatus Chevrolat, and E. tigrinus sp. nov. The monotypic Opitzius is based on O. thoracicus Barr. Specimens of these two genera are variously deposited in 37 institutional and private collections. These checkered beetles frequent the surface of felled tree boles to forage on adults and immatures of lignicolous insects. Their large size and mobility make them very noticeable on the bark of fallen trees. It is postulated that they are participants in a mimetic ring with log-inhabiting mutillids and flies part of the mimetic mix. Hennigian principles were applied to 22 adult morphological characters, which yielded a nearly totally resolved phylogenetic hypothesis between Epiphlaeus and Opitzius, and among Epiphlaeus species groups. The combined geographical range of the inclusive species extends from northwestern Nicaragua to southeastern Brazil. It is hypothesized that ancestral Epiphlaeus – Opitzius evolved in South America with some descendants entering Insular Central America after closure of the Panamanian portals during the Miocene. Pleistocene climatic factors are thought to have influenced species diversity, and perhaps speciation events in conjunction with aspects of dispersal, vicariance, and taxon pulse dynamics.

    REVISÃO DO GÊNERO Oplognathus MACLEAY, 1819 (COLEOPTERA: MELOLONTHIDAE: RUTELINAE: RUTELINI) por TAMARA GOMES CARVALHO (Sob Orientação do Professor Paschoal Coelho Grossi – UFRPE) RESUMO Oplognathus MacLeay, 1819 apresenta três espécies descritas, todas exclusivas do Brasil, sendo elas: O. bahianus (Ohaus, 1912); O. helmenreichi (Ohaus, 1905) e O. kirbii MacLeay, 1819, esta última é a espécie tipo do gênero. Esse gênero pertence a subtribo Areodina (Rutelini, Rutelinae) que contém 43 espécies distribuídas em 11 gêneros, sendo 10 nas Américas e um na África. Os gêneros que ocorrem no Brasil são: Areoda MacLeay, 1819 (3 spp.); Byrsopolis Burmeister, 1844 (6 spp.); Moronius Grossi & Vaz-de-Mello, 2015 (1 sp.); e Oplognathus MacLeay, 1819 (3 spp.). Oplognathus diferencia-se de outros Areodina com base em três características: ápice do clípeo nos machos trilobado e estendendo-se além do labro em vista ventral; processo mesoventral presente, excedendo anteriormente as coxas médias, e parâmeros assimétricos. O conhecimento taxonômico de Oplognathus está quase que totalmente restrito às descrições originais. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi revisar as espécies de Oplognathus MacLeay, 1819 com a redescrição do gênero e das espécies, incluindo ilustrações das principais características diagnósticas, mapa de distribuição e uma chave dicotômica para identificação das suas espécies.

Bos Email: [email protected] Received: 31 March 2006 Accepted: 13 August 2006 Published online: 13 June 2007 Abstract The ongoing destruction of tropical rainforests has increased the interest in the potential value of tropical agroforests for the conservation of biodiversity. Traditional, shaded agroforests may support high levels of biodiversity, for some groups even approaching that of undisturbed tropical forests. However, it is unclear to what extent forest fauna is represented in this diversity and how management affects forest fauna in agroforests. We studied lower canopy ant and beetle fauna in cacao agroforests and forests in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, a region dominated by cacao agroforestry. We compared ant and beetle species richness and composition in forests and cacao agroforests and studied the impact of two aspects of management intensification (the decrease in shade tree diversity and in shade canopy cover) on ant and beetle diversity. The agroforests had three types of shade that represented a decrease in tree diversity (high, intermediate and low diversity). Species richness of ants and beetles in the canopies of the cacao trees was similar to that found in lower canopy forest trees.

    CHECK LIST OF THE RUTELINAE (COLEOPTERA, SCARABAEIDAE) OF OCEANIA By FRIEDRICH OHAUS BERNICE P. BISHOP MUSEUM OCCASIONAL PAPERS VOLUME XI, NUMBER 2 HONOLULU, HAWAII PUBLISHED BY THE MUSJ-:UM 1935 CHECK LIST OF THE RUTELINAE (COLEOPTERA, SCARABAEIDAE) OF OCEANIA By FRIEDRICH OHAUS MAINZ, GERMANY BIOLOGY The RuteIinae are plant feeders. In Parastasia the beetle (imago) visits flowers, and the grub (larva) lives in dead trunks of more or less hard wood. In Anomala the beetle is a leaf feeder, and the grub lives in the earth, feeding on the roots of living plants. In Adoretus the beetle feeds on flowers and leaves; the grub lives in the earth and feeds upon the roots of living plants. In some species of Anornala and Adoretus, both beetles and grubs are noxious to culti­ vated plants, and it has been observed that eggs or young grubs of these species have been transported in the soil-wrapping around roots or parts of roots of such plants as the banana, cassava, and sugar cane. DISTRIBUTION With the exception of two species, the Rutelinae found on the continent of Australia (including Tasmania) belong to the subtribe Anoplognathina. The first exception is Anomala (Aprosterna) antiqua Gyllenhal (australasiae Blackburn), found in northeast Queensland in cultivated places near the coast. This species is abundant from British India and southeast China in the west to New Guinea in the east, stated to be noxious here and there to cultivated plants. It was probably brought to Queensland by brown or white men, as either eggs or young grubs in soil around roots of bananas, cassava, or sugar cane.

    Phylogenetic Relationships and Distribution of the Rhizotrogini (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae) in the West Mediterranean

    Graellsia, 59(2-3): 443-455 (2003) PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE RHIZOTROGINI (COLEOPTERA, SCARABAEIDAE, MELOLONTHINAE) IN THE WEST MEDITERRANEAN Mª. M. Coca-Abia* ABSTRACT In this paper, the West Mediterranean genera of Rhizotrogini are reviewed. Two kinds of character sets are discussed: those relative to the external morphology of the adult and those of the male and female genitalia. Genera Amadotrogus Reitter, 1902; Amphimallina Reitter, 1905; Amphimallon Berthold, 1827; Geotrogus Guérin-Méneville, 1842; Monotropus Erichson, 1847; Pseudoapeterogyna Escalera, 1914 and Rhizotrogus Berthold, 1827 are analysed: to demonstrate the monophyly of this group of genera; to asses the realtionships of these taxa; to test species transferred from Rhizotrogus to Geotrogus and Monotropus, and to describe external morphological and male and female genitalic cha- racters which distinguish each genus. Phylogenetic analysis leads to the conclusion that this group of genera is monophyletic. However, nothing can be said about internal relationships of the genera, which remain in a basal polytomy. Some of the species tranferred from Rhizotrogus are considered to be a new genus Firminus. The genera Amphimallina and Pseudoapterogyna are synonymized with Amphimallon and Geotrogus respectively. Key words: Taxonomy, nomenclature, review, Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae, Rhizotrogini, Amadotrogus, Amphimallon, Rhizotrogus, Geotrogus, Pseudoapterogyna, Firminus, Mediterranean basin.

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.

Introducción El género Rutela Latreille, 1802 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Rutelini), incluye 17 especies y dos subespecies (Jameson 1997). Los adultos son diurnos y se pueden encontrar sobre flores, frutos y vegetación en general, siendo más abundantes durante la temporada de lluvias, presentando mayor actividad temprano en la mañana, periodo durante el cual se alimentan y vuelan cerca de sus plantas hospedantes. A pesar de que no se conoce un método de captura efectivo para los adultos de Rutela, las trampas de luz ocasionalmente suelen atraerlos (Jameson 1997).

Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae biologicae (Brno) 97(1): 85–97. – Examination of type specimens of Apogonia reticulata Frey, 1969 leads to the conclusion that the name is a junior subjective synonym of Apogonia cribricollis Burmeister, 1855. The type locality of A. reticulata is discussed and the assertion made that this species has previously been described on the basis of mislabelled specimens collected in the Oriental region. Apogonia cribricolis is redescribed, compared with closely related species, and its geographical distribution is mapped. Key words.

Both specimens are labelled as collected in “Ethiopie, Harar”. The holotype is held in MMBC, while the only paratype became part of the personal collection of Georg Frey, now deposited in NHMB. The differential diagnosis of A. reticulata was a very vague: “Durch die Halschildskulptur von allen afrikanischen Apogonia-Arten verschieden” (FREY 1969: 184).
