Key Words. Faunistic data. Introduction In the Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries, modern day Vietnam had various administra- tive borders. It was divided into Annam, Cochinchine and Tonkin while a French colony, then it was divided into North and South Vietnam, and in 1976 it was reunited to produce its present borders. Today Vietnam is divided into 63 provinces, grouped into eight regions (Fig. 189, 197). The basic physical aspects of Vietnam include: the northern mountainous area that is an extension of the Chinese highland of Yunnan; the Annam mountains range, running generally from north-west to south-east in the centre of the country; and two wide alluvial deltas formed by the Red River in the north and by the Mekong River in the south. A long and relatively narrow coastal plain runs between these two deltas. Despite ongoing deforestation and the damages produced during the war that ended in 1975, large parts of Vietnam are still covered by pluvial and secondary forests, which are protected by several National Parks and Nature Reserves. This protection is important for conserving the remaining biodi- 2 • INSECTA MUNDI 0589, November 2017 WIESNER ET AL. versity of the country. This protection is also vital for tiger beetles as a majority of Vietnam’ s species are forest dwelling. Throughout South-Eastern Asia more than 530 species of tiger beetles have been found (Cassola and Pearson 2000). Vietnam is exhibits one of the richest fauna of Cicindelinae in this region and its species diversity as well as the proportion of endemics are comparable or even exceed the diversity of the faunas of neighboring countries. Over the last 25 years the species-list of tiger beetles of Vietnam increased 1.5 times, while the number of the endemics increased more than two times (Fedorenko and Matalin 2011). Despite such diversity and endemism, the Cicindelinae of Vietnam were, until recently, primar- ily known from fragmented revisions of specifi c genera (Wiesner 1988, 2013a; Naviaux 1995a, 2002), descriptions of new taxa (Horn 1902, 1937;

University of Tlemcen, BP119 13000 Algeria 2IMBE, CNRS, IRD, Aix-Marseille University, France *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT A study on diversity of ground beetle communities (Coleoptera Carabidae) was conducted between March 2011 and February 2012 in the temporary pond: Dayet El Ferd (listed as a Ramsar site in 2004) located in a steppe area on the northwest of Algeria. The samples were collected bimonthly at 6 sampling plots and the gathered Carabidae were identified and coun - ted. A total of 55 species belonging to 32 genera of 7 subfamilies were identified from 2893 collected ground beetles. The most species rich subfamilies were Harpalinae (35 species, 64%) and Trechinae (14 species, 25.45%), others represented by one or two species. Accord- ing to the total individual numbers, Cicindelinae was the most abundant subfamily compris- ing 38.81% of the whole beetles, followed by 998 Harpalinae (34.49%), and 735 Trechinae (25.4%), respectively. The dominant species was Calomera lunulata (Fabricius, 1781) (1087 individuals, 37.57%) and the subdominant species was Pogonus chalceus viridanus (Dejean, 1828) (576 individuals, 19.91%).

Among the insects inhabiting endorheic, temporary and highly saline small lakes of central Spain during dry periods, tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae) form particularly rich assemblages including unique endemic species. Cephalota dulcinea López, De la Rosa & Baena, 2006 is an endemic, regionally protected species that occurs only in saline marshes in Castilla-La Mancha (Central Spain). Here, we report that C. dulcinea suffers potential risks associated with counter-attacks by ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), while using them as prey at one of these marshes. Through mark–recapture methods, we estimated the population size of C. dulcinea at the study marsh as of 1352 individuals, with a sex ratio slightly biased towards males. Evident signs of ant defensive attack by the seed-harvesting ant Messor barbarus (Forel, 1905) were detected in 14% of marked individuals, sometimes with cut ant heads still grasped with their mandibles to the beetle body parts. Ant injuries have been more frequently recorded at the end of adult C.

ABAYON College of Arts and Sciences, Leyte Normal University, Tacloban City ABSTRACT A survey of carabid beetles was conducted in six protected forests of Region VIII (Eastern Visayas) namely: Lake Danao, Mt. Nacolod, KuapnitBalinsasayao, Asug Forest, City Forest, and Closed Canopy on January to June of 2019. A total of 7844 individuals belonging to 41 species under 25 genera, 13 tribes, and two (2) subfamilies were recorded in the six selected forests of Leyte and Samar, Eastern Visayas, Philippines. There were 26 species recorded from Lake Danao, 32 species in Mt. Nacolod, 20 species in KuapnitBalinsasayao Forest, 11 species in Asug Forest, 19 species in City Forest and 26 species in Closed Canopy Forest. A total of 19 endemic species were recorded of which 12 are Philippine endemic, six (6) are endemic to Leyte and one (1) is endemic to Samar. After thorough examinations, the study provided new records of carabid beetles in the region. Likewise, new species of carabid beetles were discovered during the conduct of this study. The new records include Brachinusleytensis, Trigonotomagoeltenbothi, Pheropsophusuliweberiin Leyte and Lesticussamarensis in Samar. The new species discovered are Pheropsophusuliweberi and Pheropsophus sp. both are Original Article found in Leyte. These findings proved that the forests in Eastern Visayas can be considered as hotspots of carabid diversity. Appropriate protection and conservation mechanisms should be put in place.

Abstract The collection of type specimens of the family Carabidae (Coleoptera) deposited in the Natural History Museum of Barcelona, Spain.— The type collection of the family Carabidae (Coleop- tera) deposited in the Natural History Museum of Barcelona, Spain, has been organised, revised and documented. It contains 430 type specimens belonging to 155 different taxa. Of note are the large number of hypogean species, the species of Cicindelidae from Asenci Codina’s collection, and the species of Harpalinae extracted from Jacques Nègre’s collec- tion. In this paper we provide all the available information related to these type specimens. We therefore provide the following information for each taxon, species or subspecies: the original and current taxonomic status, original citation of type materials, exact transcription of original labels, and preservation condition of specimens. Moreover, the differences between original descriptions and labels are discussed. When a taxonomic change has occurred, the references that examine those changes are included at the end of the taxa description. Key words: Collection type, Coleoptera, Carabidae taxonomic revision family, Ground beetles.
