  • Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) Are Specialist Predators of Snails

Coleoptera, Hydrophilidae, Hydrophilus acuminatus, feeding preferences, snail specialist Abstract. Hydrophilus acuminatus larvae are known to feed on aquatic prey. However, there is no quantitative study of their feeding habits. In order to determine the feeding preferences and essential prey of larvae of H. acuminatus, both field and laboratory experi- ments were carried out. Among the five potential species of prey,Austropeplea ollula (Mollusca: Lymnaeidae), Physa acuta (Mollusca: Physidae), Asellus hilgendorfi (Crustacea: Asellidae), Palaemon paucidens (Crustacea: Palaemonidae) and larvae of Propsilocerus akamusi (Insecta: Chironomidae), the first instar larvae of H. acuminatus strongly prefered the Austropeplea and Physa snails in both cafeteria and single-prey species experiments. Larvae that were provided with only snails also successfully developed into second instar larvae, while larvae fed Palaemon, Propsilocerus larvae or Asellus died during the first instar. In addition, the size of adult H. acuminatus reared from first-instar larvae and fed only snails during their entire development was not different from that of adult H. acuminatus collected in the field. This indicates that even though the larvae ofH. acuminatus can feed on several kinds of invertebrates, they strongly prefer snails and without them cannot complete their development.

The morphology and head chaetotaxy of the second and third instar larvae of 9th June 2018 Laccobius (Yateberosus) sp. are described based on specimens collected in New Caledonia. Published online: The larvae agree with those of other subgenera of Laccobius Erichson, 1837 in most morpho- 25th June 2018 logical characters including the morphology of head and mouthparts and the head chaetotaxy, which undoubtedly supports its assignment to Laccobius (Yateberosus). It differs from other Laccobius in the closed spiracular system, reduced spiracular atrium and long abdominal tra- cheal gills, in which they resemble the larvae of Berosus Leach, 1817. We demonstrate that the ‘Berosus-likeʼ larval morphology evolved at least four times independently in Hydrophiloidea, and briefl y discuss the possible reasons for it.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).

  • The Hydrophiloid Beetles of Socotra Island (Coleoptera: Georissidae, Hydrophilidae)

The hydrophiloid beetles (Georissidae, Hydrophilidae) of Socotra Island (Yemen) are reviewed based mainly on the material collected during the Czech expeditions undertaken between 2000 and 2012. A total of 16 species are recorded, three of which are newly described herein: Georissus (Neogeorissus) maritimus sp. nov., G. (N.) nemo sp. nov. (Georissidae) and Hemisphaera socotrana sp. nov. (Hydrophilidae). Seven species are recorded from Socotra Island for the fi rst time: Georissus (Neogeorissus) sp., Berosus corrugatus Régimbart, 1906, Laccobius eximius Kuwert, 1890, L. minor (Wollaston, 1867), L. praecipuus Kuwert, 1890, Enochrus nitidulus (Kuwert, 1888), and Sternolophus unicolor Laporte de Cas- telnau, 1840. The previously published Socotran record of Sternolophus decens Zaitzev, 1909 is considered as misidentifi cation. The Socotran hydrophiloid fauna is found to consist mostly of widely distributed African, Arabian/Near Eastern, Oriental and cosmopolitan species. The three newly described species may be considered as endemic to Socotra, but two of them seem to have close relatives in Africa and southern India.

The surveys were conducted in İzmir, Manisa and Aydın provinces and specimens were collected regularly during the years 2013 and 2014. Totally, 30 species classified in 8 genera of the two families were recorded. Physicochemical parameters including temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, electrical conductivity and salinity were measured from 99 different aquatic sites. The relationships between the species and the effect (s) of the mentioned parameters on the presence or absence of the beetles were evaluated by various statistical tests. According to the results; electrical conductivity, salinity and temperature are the main water parameters associated with aquatic beetle distribution. Pearson’s correlation analysis coefficient between the salinity and electrical conductivity parameters was calculated as 0.965 which is statistically significant (p < 0.01). The relationships between environmental variables and the determined species were also evaluated with canonical correspondence analysis (CCA), and the distributions of species according to these variables were presented by using a CCA plot.
