World Catalogue of the Tribe Agathidiini (Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Leiodinae) FERNANDO ANGELINI WORLD CATALOGUE OF THE TRIBE AGATHIDIINI (COLEOPTERA, LEIODIDAE, LEIODINAE) ESTRATTO dagli ANNALI del MUSEO CIVICO di STORIA NATURALE “G. DORIA” Vol. 102 - 22 NOVEMBRE 2010 GENOVA 2010 1 FERNANDO ANGELINI * WORLD CATALOGUE OF THE TRIBE AGATHIDIINI (COLEOPTERA, LEIODIDAE, LEIODINAE) INTRODUCTION During the last 30 years, the tribe Agathidiini Westwood, 1838 has been the subject of many taxonomic studies and catalogues (by F. Angelini, J. Cooter, L. De Marzo, H. Hoshina, K. B. Miller, A. F. Newton, S. B. Peck, E. E. Perkovsky, M. Perreau, Z. Švec and Q. D. Wheeler) resulting in a moltiplication of the species number and in a better knowledge of the status and distribution of many taxa. New species have been mostly described from Indo-Malayan and Northern Neotropical Regions, less from Nearctics, Palearctics (especially Eastern Palearctics) and Afrotropics. Meanwhile, about 220 papers were published, of which over 110 including the description of more or less 760 new species and 7 new genera/subgenera, and 6 devoted to systematic revisions and geogra- phical catalogues (WHEELER 1979, ANGELINI 1995c and 2004, PER- REAU 2004, WHEELER & MILLER 2005, MILLER & WHEELER 2005b). Nowadays, in my opinion the knowledge of world Agathidiini is quite satisfactory. Furthermore, I presume that in future new spe- cies will be described mainly from Northern Neotropics, from some area of Indo-Malayan Region and from Easterner Palearctics, with a likely 10-15% increase to the present total number. Currently, I think that more studies are still necessary only for a better interpre- tation of Indo-Malayan and Eastern Palearctic species ascribed to the genus Anisotoma and Indo-Malayan species of the genera Cyr- toplastus and Stetholiodes. * Via De Reggio, 142 - 72021 Francavilla Fontana (Brindisi), Italy.

ANGELINI Taking in account what has been published during the last 30 years, I regard as necessary (and I am supported in my opinion by epistolary contacts with the above named colleagues) to publish a world catalogue. NOMENCLATORIAL NOTES AND STRUCTURE OF THE CATALOGUE Until January 1st, 2010 the total number of Agathidiini stood at 945 species/subspecies (Table 1). Taxa are listed in the catalogue in alphabetical order; as litera- ture and distributional data have already been published for most species, only essential data are listed here, viz.: author, year and page of description, type locality, type depository (the first abbrevia- tion/coden refers to the depository where the holotype -and often paratypes as well- is housed; further abbreviations, if present, para- types’ depository) and distribution. Terms and boundaries of the geographical regions are those defined by ANGELINI (2004: 137) and LÖBL & SMETANA (2004), par- ticularly for Europe (including European Russia), Caucasus, Siberia and China. In the References 512 titles are quoted; the catalogue lists 1.130 names: 13 valid genera (1 in “incertae tribus”), 6 generic names which are synonyms or preoccupied, 8 valid subgenera, 2 subge- nera names considered synonyms, 945 valid species and subspecies (1 species in “incertae sedis” and 1 species in “incertae tribus”), 156 specific names which are synonyms, homonyms, nomina nuda or referred to renamed taxa. Type depository is given for 933 valid and for 106 synonymized species. On the contrary, it remained unknown for the following 12 species: Agathidium angusticolle Reitter, 1898, A. bescidicum Reitter, 1885, A. insulare Portevin, 1928, A. mexicanum Hendrichs, 1979, A. microps Portevin, 1907, A. oniscoides Palisot de Beauvois, 1817, A. similare Reitter, 1898, Amphicyllis globus Fabricius, 1792, Anisotoma confusa Horn, 1880, A. nigripennis Reitter, 1884, Cyrtoplastus irre- gularis Reitter, 1898 and C. successor Reitter, 1898. The species Anisotoma nigripennis Reitter, 1884 and the genus Cainosternum Notman, 1921 are placed respectively in “incertae sedis” and “incertae tribus”. WORLD CATALOGUE OF THE TRIBE AGATHIDIINI 3 Tab. 1 - Distribution of the species and subspecies of the Tribe Agathidiini. Pale- arctic and Indo-Malayan species of the genus Agathidium are grouped by subgenera. The specialists of Nearctic and northern Neotropical fauna have not adopted this treatment. The totals in the various columns do not correspond with the aggregate for each genus/subgenus because some species are present in two regions.

ANGELINI The type of Agathidium pallidum Say, 1824 is lost or destroyed (ORD 1859, MAwdSLEY 1993); then the name was doubtfully associa- ted with Hydnobius matthewsii Crotch, 1874 by HORN (1880: 281) and by HATCH (1929b: 11). Nevertheless, in my opinion the description given by SAY (1824: 91) is sufficiently clear to assume that the type was not referable to Hydnobius matthewsii (now Macrohydnobius), a species belonging to the tribe Sogdini. Then, I think that Say’s species really belongs to Agathidiini. Its type locality was reported as “Engineer Cantonment”, which was the winter encampment of the 1819-20 Expedition, led by Major Stephen H. Long, to explore the southern Rocky Mountains (BEIDLEMAN 1986). Archaeological investigations, carried out by the Nebraska State Historical Society, established the site of the encampment on the bank of the Mis- souri River, a few miles north of present-day Omaha (CARLSON et al. 2004, PECK & COOK 2009). ANGELINI & PECK (2000) presented a phylogenetic study of generic relationships, which was criticized, but without any impro- vements, by MILLER & WHEELER (2005b). Abbreviations follow ARNETT & SAMUELSON (1986) and EVEN- HUIS (2009). For type depository non reported by them, new abbre- viations are given. ADC-MSNG A.

  • Decline of Rare and Specialist Species Across Multiple Taxonomic Groups After Grassland Intensification and Abandonment
    Decline of rare and specialist species across multiple taxonomic groups after grassland intensification and abandonment Andreas Hilpold1,*,§, Julia Seeber1,2,§, Veronika Fontana1, Georg Niedrist1, Alexander Rief2, Michael Steinwandter1, Erich Tasser1, Ulrike Tappeiner1,2 1 Institute for Alpine Environment, Eurac Research, Drususallee 1, 39100 Bolzano/Bozen, Italy 2 Department of Ecology, University of Innsbruck, Technikerstraße 25, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria § these authors contributed equally as first authors * corresponding author: [email protected], Institute for Alpine Environment, Eurac Research, Drususallee 1, 39100 Bolzano/Bozen, Italy Abstract Traditionally managed mountain grasslands are declining as a result of abandonment or intensification of management. Based on a common chronosequence approach we investigated species compositions of 16 taxonomic groups on traditionally managed dry pastures, fertilized and irrigated hay meadows, and abandoned grasslands (larch forests). We included faunal above- and below-ground biodiversity as well as species traits (mainly rarity and habitat specificity) in our analyses. The larch forests showed the highest species number (345 species), with slightly less species in pastures (290 species) and much less in hay meadows (163 species). The proportion of rare species was highest in the pastures and lowest in hay meadows. Similar patterns were found for specialist species, i.e. species with a high habitat specificity. After abandonment, larch forests harbor a higher number of pasture species than hay meadows. These overall trends were mainly supported by spiders and vascular plants. Lichens, bryophytes and carabid beetles showed partly contrasting trends. These findings stress the importance to include a wide range of taxonomic groups in conservation studies. All in all, both abandonment and intensification had similar negative impacts on biodiversity in our study, underlining the high conservation value of Inner-Alpine dry pastures.

This article deals with the Agathidium vaderi beetle named in 2005 by Kelly B. Miller and Quentin D. Wheeler after the fictional character Darth Vader due to the postulated similarity of the beetle's head with Darth Vader's helmet which is ultimately based on Japanese Samurai helmet designs. Additionally, attention is drawn to the the mutual benefits available to the taxonomy as well as for the films in the Star Wars series due to the unconventual species name. Key Words: Agathidium vaderi, Star Wars, Japanese helmets, Taxonomy, Nomenclature Einleitung Im Japanischen wird der zur Familie der Blatthornkäfer (Scarabaeidae) gehörende Allomyrina dichotoma (LINNAEUS, 1771) als kabutomushi bezeichnet, was soviel wie "Helminsekt" (kabuto = Helm, mushi = Insekt) bedeutet und eine Anspielung auf japanische Samuraihelme darstellt. A. dichotoma bildet im Land der aufgehenden Sonne einen fest verankerten Bestandteil der Populärkultur und man lässt dort Männchen dieser Spezies gegeneinander kämpfen. In den Wettbewerben geht es darum, wessen Käfer die schwerste Last ziehen kann und um Spiele, bei denen man die Käfermännchen dazu bringt um ein Stück Wassermelone zu kämpfen (LAURENT 2001: 70) – somit "eine Insekten- version des Sumo-Ringens" (HERZOG 2012: 57).

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.

Gelae californica sp. nov. from California, the U.S.A. is described, illustrated and compared to similar species. INTRODUCTION The phylogenetic and therefore also systematic position of the genus Gelae Miller et Wheeler, 2004, known to widely occur in the Northern and Central America, is rather unclear as the genus is similar to some species currently assigned to Anisotoma Panzer, 1797, to Palaearctic Agathidium Panzer, 1797 (subg. Neoceble Gozis, 1886), to some Nearctic Agathidium and also to the genus Liodopria Reitter, 1909. The genus Gelae can be differ from the other Agathidiini genera by the combination of the followig characters: 1. Antennae with 11 antennomeres; 2. antennal club 3-segmented; 3. supraocular carina absent or developed in traces anteriorly, never extending caudally behind eyes; 4. clypeus convex anteriorly; 5. clypeal line developed; 6. tempora not developed; 7. pronotum with distinct anterior and posterior angles in lateral view; 8. elytra without punctured rows or striae; 9. elytra with distinct lateral angle; 10. femoral lines on metaventrite not developed. Altogether eight species have been described or attributed to the genus up to now. The ninth species - Gelae californicum sp. nov. is described in this paper. MATERIAL AND METHODS Abbreviations of body parts and measurements: AII-AXI antennomeres II-XI. TI-TIII tarsomeres I-III. AIII/AII The ratio of the length or width of the antennomeres III:II, analogously ratios of others antennomeres.
