    Records of the Western Australian Museum Supplement Number 52: 49-53 (1995). Dancing on the head of a pin: mites in the rainforest canopy David Evans WaIter Department of Entomology and Centre for Tropical Pest Management, University of Queensland, St Lucia 4072, Australia Abstract - Mites, the most diverse taxon in the Arachnida, are a major component of the rainforest canopy fauna. Twenty-nine species of mites were identified from the outermost canopy (leaves and their subtending stems) of a single rose marara tree (Pseudoweinmannia lachnocarpa) growing in subtropical rainforest in south-eastern Queensland. None of these species were found in suspended soils collected from a treehole and the root mats of two epiphytic ferns on the same tree, although 21 other mite species lived in the soils. Forty-seven leaves and 290 cm of small stems from brown beech trees (Pennantia cunninghamii) at two subtropical rainforest sites 110 km apart contained 1615 mites representing 43 species. The average brown beech leaf contained three times as many species as the average rose marara leaf. Most mites collected from brown beech leaves were found within domatia, structures lacking on rose marara leaves. When domatia were blocked, average species number per leaf was reduced to half that on leaves with open domatia. Only four mite species were common to both sites, and only five species were found on both rose marara and brown beech, suggesting that a very diverse fauna awaits discovery. INTRODUCTION two sites to determine whether the arboreal fauna The Acari are admittedly the most abundant and is similar between sites and test the effect of leaf diverse group in the Arachnida; yet, mites often domatia on the diversity of the foliar fauna.

BEHAN-PELLETIER1,3 & DAVID E. WALTER2 1Systematic Entomology, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, K. W. Neatby Building, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0C6, Canada. E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, T6G 2E9 Canada 3Corresponding author Abstract We propose a new genus of licneremaeoid oribatid mite, Phylleremus, based on two new species collected from leaves of woody dicots in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, Australia. Description of the type species, Phylleremus leei n. sp., is based on adults and all active immature stages; that of Phylleremus hunti n. sp. is based on adults and tritonymphs. Phylleremus adults have the notogastral octotaxic system of dermal glands developed either as 1 or 4 pairs of saccules, and nymphs are bideficient and plicate. We discuss the characteristics and relationships of this genus to others in Licneremaeoidea and argue for an affiliation with Adhaesozetidae. Key words: Oribatida, Phylleremus, Licneremaeoidea, new genus, new species, Australia, leaves Introduction Licneremaeoidea is a diverse assemblage of oribatid mite families, none of which is rich in described species. All members of included families, Adhaesozetidae, Dendroeremaeidae, Lamellareidae, Licneremaeidae, Micreremidae, Passalozetidae, Scutoverticidae, have apheredermous immatures with plicate hysterosomal integument, and adults with the octotaxic system of dermal glands (Grandjean 1954a; Behan-Pelletier et al. 2005). These character states are shared by the Achipteriidae, Tegoribatidae and Epactozetidae (Achipterio- idea) and Phenopelopidae (Phenopelopoidea), and thus, these early derivative poronotic mites are sometimes referred to as the ‘higher plicates’ (Norton & Alberti 1997).

    Systematic Entomology *2002) 27,409±435 Phylogenetic relationships of tachinid flies in subfamily Exoristinae Tachinidae: Diptera) based on 28S rDNA and elongation factor-1a JOHN O. STIREMAN III Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology,University of Arizona,Tucson,U.S.A. Abstract. The phylogenetic relationships within the largest subfamily of Tachi- nidae,Exoristinae,were explored using nucleotide sequences of two genes *EF-1 a and 28S rDNA). A total of fifty-five and forty-three taxa were represented in the analyses for each gene,respectively,representing forty-three genera. Neighbour joining,parsimony and maximum likelihood inference methods were employed to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships in separate analyses of each gene,and parsimony was used to analyse the combined dataset. Although certain taxa were highly mobile,phylogenetic reconstructions generally supported recent clas- sification schemes based on reproductive habits and genitalia. Generally,the monophyly of Tachinidae and Exoristinae was supported. Tribes Winthemiini, Exoristini and Blondeliini were repeatedly constructed as monophyletic groups, with the former two clades often occupying a basal position among Exoristinae. Goniini and Eryciini generally clustered together as a derived clade within Exoristinae; however,they were never reconstructed as two distinct clades. These results suggest that the possession of unembryonated eggs is plesiomorphic within the subfamily and that there may have been multiple transitions between micro- type and macrotype egg forms.

    The Rove Beetles of Leicestershire and Rutland

    LEICESTERSHIRE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Rove Beetles (Staphylinidae) of Leicestershire and Rutland Part 1: Sub-families Paederinae, Pseudopsinae and Staphylininae Derek A. Lott Creophilus maxillosus (Graham Calow) LESOPS 24 (2011) ISSN 0957 – 1019 Correspondence: 5 Welland Road, Barrow upon Soar, LE12 8NA VC55 Staphylinids Part 1 2 Introduction With over 56,000 described species in the world, the Staphylinidae are the largest family in the animal kingdom (Grebennikov & Newton, 2009). Around a quarter of the British beetles are rove beetles, so they represent an important component of biodiversity in Britain. However, because of perceived difficulties in their identification, they have not received the attention that they merit. This paper aims to play a part in redressing that imbalance by listing all reliable records from Leicestershire and Rutland for the different species and analysing which species have declined locally over 100 years of recording rove beetles and which have prospered. The subfamilies treated in this first part include the largest and most conspicuous species in the family. The geographical area covered is the vice county of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55). Some records from adjacent banks of the River Soar that technically lie in Nottinghamshire are also included. These records can be distinguished by the use of Nottinghamshire parish names. Identification Staphylinidae can be easily recognised among beetles in the field by their short wing cases that leave five or six segments of the abdomen exposed and flexible. In fact they look more like earwigs than other beetles. For identification to species, all the members of the subfamilies in this part will be covered by the forthcoming Royal Entomological Society handbook to Staphylinidae parts 6 and 7 due for publication in 2011.
