The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution
INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

The Purposes of This Paper Are to Clarify Generic Concepts in New
STUDIES OF THE SUBTRIBE TACHYINA (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE: BEMBIDIINI) SUPPLEMENT A: LECTOTYPE DESIGNATIONS FOR NEW WORLD SPECIES, TWO NEW GENERA, AND NOTES ON GENERIC CONCEPTS1 TERRY L. ERWIN National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. 20560 ABSTRACT•The New World species-group names of the carabid subtribe Tachyina are arranged alphabetically by genus. Lectotype designation are made where necessary and species are assigned accordingly to their proper genus. Two new genera, Costitachys and Meotachys are described. Three species described in the genus Polyderis, testaceolimbata Motschulsky, glabrella Mots., and breviscula Mots., are reassigned to the genus Perigona of the Perigonini. A key is provided to Tachyina genera and notes on generic concepts are given. INTRODUCTION The purposes of this paper are to clarify generic concepts in New World Tachyina, designate lectotypes, list synonymies, provide a key to genera, and describe two new genera. Ail of this became possible after studying the World fauna to determine how New World groups relate to Old World groups. Much of this work has now been done and my series of revisions for the World Tachyina has begun to be issued (Erwin, 1973a, 1974). The work here has been strictly limited without giving reasons for many of the actions taken. Reasons will be provided in forthcoming revisions where space will allow full development of ideas from facts, and analyses of these facts. METHODS During 1971, I was able to study almost all primary type material for New World Tachyina as well as to study numerous Old World forms in the British Museum in London and in the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. -

Diana Gallagher Master’s Project for the M.S. in Entomology An Annotated Bibliography of Archaeoentomology April 2020 Introduction For my Master’s Degree Project, I have undertaken to compile an annotated bibliography of a selection of the current literature on archaeoentomology. While not exhaustive by any means, it is designed to cover the main topics of interest to entomologists and archaeologists working in this odd, dark corner at the intersection of these two disciplines. I have found many obscure works but some publications are not available without a trip to the Royal Society’s library in London or the expenditure of far more funds than I can justify. Still, the goal is to provide in one place, a list, as comprehensive as possible, of the scholarly literature available to a researcher in this area. The main categories are broad but cover the most important subareas of the discipline. Full books are far out-numbered by book chapters and journal articles, although Harry Kenward, well represented here, will be publishing a book in June of 2020 on archaeoentomology. -

Allozyme Survey and Relationships of Limnoporus St& Species
ALLOZYME SURVEY AND RELATIONSHIPS OF LIMNOPORUS ST& SPECIES (HETEROPTERA: GERRIDAE) F. A.H. SPERLING'and J.R. SPENCE Department of Entomology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2E3 Abstract Can. Ent. 122: 2942 (1990) Five species of Limnoporus Sdl (L. canalicuhtus [Say], L. dissortis [Drake and Harris], L. nearcticus [Kelton], L. notabilis [Drake and Hottes], and L. rufoscutellatus [Latreille]) were each sampled at 20 electrophoretic loci. Twofold differences among species in mean heterozygosity appear to be unrelated to presence of wing dimorphism. Low heterozygosity in some populations within species may reflect geographic isola- tion. There were substantial differences in allele frequency among, but not within, species. Limnoporus rufoscutellatus from western Europe and L. nearcticus from Alaska were the most similar pair of species, with a Nei's standard genetic identity that is generally found only between populations of the same species. Limnoporus canaliculatus was the most divergent species, and the relationship among L. dissortis, L. notabilis, and the L. rufoscutellatus - L. nearcticus pair is resolved as a trichotomy. Cinq espkces de Limnoporus Sdl (L. canaliculatus [Say], L. dissortis [Drake et Harris], L. nearcticus [Kelton], L. notabilis [Drake et Hottes] et L. rufoscutellatus [Latreille]) ont 6t6 tchantillonn&s B 20 loci.

Coleoptera: Carabidae) by Thomas C
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Crossref TRECHOBLEMUS IN NORTH AMERICA, WITH A KEY TO NORTH AMERICAN GENERA OF TREX2HINAE (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE) BY THOMAS C. BARR, JR. The University of Kentucky, Lexington Trechoblemus Ganglbauer is a genus of trechine beetles (Tre- chinae: Trechini: Trechina) previously known only from Europe and Asia. It formed the type genus of Jeannel's "S6rie phyl6tique de Trechoblemus". and is generally regarded as closely related to cavernicolous trechines in Japan, the Carpathians and Transylvanian Alps of eastern Europe, and eastern United States (Barr, I969; Jeannel, I928, I962; U6no and Yoshida, I966). The large cave beetle genus Pseudanophthalmus Jeannel, with approximately 75 species in caves of ten eastern States, the monobasic genus Nea- phaenops Jeannel, from Kentucky caves, and the dibasic genus ]gelsonites Valentine, ]rorn Tennessee and Kentucky, are part of the Trechoblemus complex. The apparent restriction of Trechoblemus to Eurasia led previous investigators to conclude that, with respect to the richly diverse trechine fauna in caves of eastern United States, "there are no im- mediate, ancestral genera now present in North America" (Barr, 969, p. 83). Although there is at least one edaphobitic (obligate in soil) species of American Pseudanophthalmus known (P. sylvaticus Barr, I967), in the mountains of West Virginia, it has already lost eyes, wings, and pigment, and merely indicates that many of the "regressive" evolutionary changes in ancestral Pseudanohthal- mus may have taken place in the soil or deep humus before the beetles became restricted to caves. Most of the species of Pseuda- nophthalmus from eastern Europe (Barr, 964) are also eyeless edaphobites. -

E-mail: [email protected] © The Author(s) 2020. Published by the Genetics Society of America. 2 9 Abstract 10 Measuring genome size across different species can yield important insights into 11 evolution of the genome and allow for more informed decisions when designing next-generation 12 genomic sequencing projects. New techniques for estimating genome size using shallow 13 genomic sequence data have emerged which have the potential to augment our knowledge of 14 genome sizes, yet these methods have only been used in a limited number of empirical studies. In 15 this project, we compare estimation methods using next-generation sequencing (k-mer methods 16 and average read depth of single-copy genes) to measurements from flow cytometry, a standard 17 method for genome size measures, using ground beetles (Carabidae) and other members of the 18 beetle suborder Adephaga as our test system. We also present a new protocol for using read- 19 depth of single-copy genes to estimate genome size. -
