JENG, J. LAI & P.-S. YANG Abstract A synopsis of the Lampyridae (Coleoptera) hitherto reported to be aquatic is given. The authors could confirm aquatic larval stages for five out of the fifteen reported cases: Luciola cruciata MOTSCHULSKY (Japan), L. ficta OLIVIER (China, incl. Taiwan), L. latcralis MOTSCHULSKY (Japan, Korea, China and Russia), L. owadai SATO & KlMURA (Japan) and L. substriata Gorham (= L. fonnosana PIC syn.n.) (Taiwan, Myanmar and India). A sixth species, L. hyclrophila sp.n. (Taiwan), is described. The larvae of all but L. substriata have lateral tracheal gills on abdominal segments 1-8; L. substriata has a metapneustic larval stage with a pair of functional spiracles on the eighth abdominal segment. It is suggested that the aquatic habits in Luciola LAPORTE have evolved at least twice. The species with facultatively aquatic larvae are summarized also. A lectotype is designated for L.ficta. Key words: Coleoptera, Lampyridae, Luciola, aquatic, new species. Introduction Lampyridae, or fireflies, belong to the superfamily Cantharoidea (sensu CROWSON 1972) or Elatcroidea (sensu LAWRENCE & NEWTON 1995).

MICHAEL REED Insect declines and their drivers have attracted considerable recent attention. Fireflies and glowworms are iconic insects whose conspicuous bioluminescent courtship displays carry unique cultural significance, giving them economic value as ecotourist attractions. Despite evidence of declines, a comprehensive review of the conservation status and threats facing the approximately 2000 firefly species worldwide is lacking. We conducted a survey of experts from diverse geographic regions to identify the most prominent perceived threats to firefly population and species persistence.

  • FAMILY NITIDULIDAE (Sap Beetles)
    FAMILY NITIDULIDAE (Sap beetles) J. McNamara One hundred species of Nitidulidae occur in Canada and Alaska. Members of this family are mostly saprophagous and mycetophagous. The majority of them live in decaying fruit, fermenting plant juice and in fungi, but some also live in flowers. Some species breed in the nests of bumblebees and others in carrion. The larvae of some species prey on scolytids; the larvae of other species are considered fungivorous and the larvae of Cateretinae live in seed capsules of various plants with the adults of these species feeding on the pollen and petals of the same plants or sometimes of others. Parsons (1943) published a revision of the Nearctic Nitidulidae and most western species can be keyed out also using Hatch (1962).

  • Hidden Diversity in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest
    www.nature.com/scientificreports Corrected: Author Correction OPEN Hidden diversity in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest: the discovery of Jurasaidae, a new beetle family (Coleoptera, Elateroidea) with neotenic females Simone Policena Rosa1, Cleide Costa2, Katja Kramp3 & Robin Kundrata4* Beetles are the most species-rich animal radiation and are among the historically most intensively studied insect groups. Consequently, the vast majority of their higher-level taxa had already been described about a century ago. In the 21st century, thus far, only three beetle families have been described de novo based on newly collected material. Here, we report the discovery of a completely new lineage of soft-bodied neotenic beetles from the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest, which is one of the most diverse and also most endangered biomes on the planet. We identifed three species in two genera, which difer in morphology of all life stages and exhibit diferent degrees of neoteny in females. We provide a formal description of this lineage for which we propose the new family Jurasaidae. Molecular phylogeny recovered Jurasaidae within the basal grade in Elateroidea, sister to the well-sclerotized rare click beetles, Cerophytidae. This placement is supported by several larval characters including the modifed mouthparts. The discovery of a new beetle family, which is due to the limited dispersal capability and cryptic lifestyle of its wingless females bound to long-term stable habitats, highlights the importance of the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest as a top priority area for nature conservation. Coleoptera (beetles) is by far the largest insect order by number of described species. Approximately 400,000 species have been described, and many new ones are still frequently being discovered even in regions with histor- ically high collecting activity1.

ZooKeys 481: 69–108. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.481.8294 Abstract The Bostrichidae of the Maltese Islands are reviewed. Ten species are recorded with certainty from this Archipelago, of which 6 namely, Trogoxylon impressum (Comolli, 1837), Amphicerus bimaculatus (A.G. Olivier, 1790), Heterobostrychus aequalis (Waterhouse, 1884), Sinoxylon unidentatum (Fabricius, 1801), Xyloperthella picea (A.G. Olivier, 1790) and Apate monachus Fabricius, 1775 are recorded for the first time. Two of the mentioned species (H. aequalis and S. unidentatum) are alien and recorded only on the basis of single captures and the possible establishment of these species is discussed. Earlier records of Scobicia pustulata (Fabricius, 1801) from Malta are incorrect and should be attributed to S. chevrieri (A. Villa & J.B. Villa, 1835).

Bybee, Chair Marc A. Branham Jamie L. Jensen Kathrin F. Stanger-Hall Michael F. Whiting Department of Biology Brigham Young University Copyright © 2020 Gavin Jon Martin All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Advances in the Systematics and Evolutionary Understanding of Fireflies (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) Gavin Jon Martin Department of Biology, BYU Doctor of Philosophy Fireflies are a cosmopolitan group of bioluminescent beetles classified in the family Lampyridae. The first catalogue of Lampyridae was published in 1907 and since that time, the classification and systematics of fireflies have been in flux. Several more recent catalogues and classification schemes have been published, but rarely have they taken phylogenetic history into account. Here I infer the first large scale anchored hybrid enrichment phylogeny for the fireflies and use this phylogeny as a backbone to inform classification.
