ASEF 1-2-2011 WEB.Indb Ann. soc. entomol. Fr. (n.s.), 2011, 47 (1–2) : 21-32 ARTICLE Taxonomic notes on Trechini and description of a new hypogean species from the Iberian Peninsula (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Trechinae) Vicente M. Ortuño (1) & Alberto Jiménez-Valverde (2) (1) Departamento de Zoología y Antropología Física. Facultad de Biología, Universidad de Alcalá, E-28871 - Alcalá de Henares. Madrid, Spain (2) Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center, Th e University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045, USA Abstract. In this contribution, a new pubescent Trechus species for the Iberian Peninsula is described, and the use of some morphological traits in the systematic of Trechini are discussed. Micropubescence is common in endogean and troglobite species which are closely related with the “terrestrial-phreatic habitat”. It probably enhances survival in swampy environments through the retention of air bubbles in immersion conditions and promoting fl otation. Neither this trait, anophthalmy nor inner sac of aedeagus without sclerotized pieces can be used to support supraspecifi c taxa. Thus, we propose the formal synonymy of Hydrotrechus with Trechus [Hydrotrechus syn. nov. of Trechus]. To avoid secondary homonymy, we propose the name Trechus triamicorum nom. nov. for Hydrotrechus cantabricus Carabajal, García & Rodríguez 1999 [already occupied by Trechus cantabricus Jeannel 1927, synonym of Trechus distigma Kiesenwetter 1851]. We also propose the synonymization of the subgenus Trichapoduvalius with Apoduvalius [Trichapoduvalius syn. nov. of Apoduvalius]. The new hypogean species with pubescent elytra, Trechus cifrianae sp. nov., is described. The morphology of the species suggests that it probably inhabits the Mesovoid Shallow Substratum (MSS) or the fi ssure network (mesocaverns and microcaverns) of the cave where the only individual was found. The structure of internal female genitalia suggests a close relationship between T. cifrianae sp. nov. and T. carrilloi Toribio & Rodríguez 1997. Résumé. Notes taxonomiques sur les Trechini et description d’une nouvelle espèce hypogée de la Péninsule Ibérique (Coleoptera : Carabidae : Trechinae). Dans cette contribution, une nouvelle espèce pubescente de Trechus est décrite de la Péninsule Ibérique, tandis que l’utilisation de certains caractères morphologiques de la tribu des Trechini est discutée. La micropubescence est fréquente chez les espèces endogées et troglobies ce qui est à mettre en relation avec l’habitat “terrestre- phréatique”. Ce caractère augmente probablement la survie dans les envirronnements marécageux du fait de la rétention des bulles d’air en immersion qui améliorent la fl ottaison. Ni ce trait, ni l’anophtalmie, ni le sac interne des édéages sans pièce sclérifi ée ne peuvent être utilisés pour caractériser les taxons supraspécifi ques. Dès lors, nous proposons de mettre en synonymie Hydrotrechus avec Trechus [Hydrotrechus syn. nov. of Trechus]. Pour éviter les homonymies secondaires, nous proposons le nom Trechus triamicorum nom. nov. pour Hydrotrechus cantabricus Carabajal, García & Rodríguez 1999 [préoccupé par Trechus cantabricus Jeannel 1927, synonyme de Trechus distigma Kiesenwetter 1851]. Nous proposons aussi la mise en synonymie du sous-genre Trichapoduvalius avec Apoduvalius [Trichapoduvalius syn. nov. de Apoduvalius]. Une nouvelle espèce hypogée à élytres pubescents est décrite : Trechus cifrianae sp. nov. La morphologie de cette espèce suggère qu’elle habite probablement le “Mesovoid Shallow Substratum” (MSS) ou les réseaux de fi ssures (mésocavernes et microcavernes) de la cave d’où le seul spécimen connu provient. La structure des génitalia internes femelles suggère une relation étroite entre T. cifrianae sp. nov. et T. carrilloi Toribio & Rodríguez 1997.

    ©Gesellschaft für Angewandte Carabidologie e.V. download www.laufkaefer.de Verantwortlichkeit für den Schutz und Raumbedeut- samkeit von Laufkäfern in Deutschland: Taxa welcher Lebensräume Deutschlands sind betroffen?1 Horst Gruttke 1 Gewidmet Prof. Dr. Gerd Müller-Motzfeld Abstract: Responsibility for Conservation and Space Importance of ground beetles in Germany: Taxa of which Habitats are concerned? – Concepts of responsibility and space importance have been combined by Müller-Motzfeld , Trautner and Bräunicke in 2004. Both concepts are linked to the tasks deri- ving from the Rio Convention on Biological Diversity. Responsibility of Germany for the conservation of organisms consist of 2 main categories (“especially high responsible”: “!!” and “highly responsible”: “!”) and 1 category for highly isolated outposts “(!)”. Space importance comprises 3 categories: endemic in Germany (E), central European distribution (rz) and wider European distribution (re). A Swiss approach to derive reasonable threshold levels of areal proportion adequate for assigning national responsibility from a so called “expectation value” for a country and some modifications including propor- tions of “suitable habitat” as reference are discussed. In Germany temperate woodland and flood-plains or estuaries had been originally dominating, comprising together about 10 % of these habitat types in Europe. Among taxa with high conservation responsibility, species of woodlands and humid habitats are dominating as well, but species of meadows and xero-thermic or mountain habitats are listed, too. The distribution of carabid taxa with high space importance is similar but with some significant differences. It comprises more alpine and mountain species, particularly those from block and rubble-slopes. Arguments for a revision of existing lists are presented, Carabus auronitens being an exemplary candidate for integration into the list of taxa for which Germany bears a high conservation responsibility.

  • Patterns and Drivers of Terrestrial Arthropod Biodiversity in Northern Canada
    Patterns and drivers of terrestrial arthropod biodiversity in northern Canada Crystal M. Ernst Department of Natural Resource Sciences McGill University Montreal, Quebec, Canada April 2015 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Crystal M. Ernst 2015 Abstract The overarching goal of this thesis was to describe patterns of terrestrial arthropod biodiversity and community structure in northern Canada, and to explore the underlying drivers and mechanisms that are responsible for these patterns. The term “biodiversity” is used here in a broad sense that includes both taxonomic (TD) and functional (FD) diversity. Ground-dwelling arthropods, especially beetles (Coleoptera), were used as model taxa, and were collected using standardized methods from twelve locations in the three northernmost ecoclimatic zones of Canada. Beetle biodiversity changes over time and space. Over the course of one active season, rapid species and functional turnover were observed in two major habitats in one subarctic location (Kugluktuk, Nunavut). While some functional groups were apparent only for brief periods of time, entomophagous predators consistently dominated the assemblage structure in biomass and abundance. This dominance by carnivores was observed consistently throughout the study, regardless of spatial or taxonomic scope. This inverted trophic structure suggests that predators may rely on alternative, non-epigeic prey items. A natural history study of previously unknown host-parasite interactions between beetles and nematomorphs (Gordionus n. sp.) suggests that beetles use alate insects with aquatic larval stages as an important nutrient subsidy. Across the entire study region, beetle TD and FD, as well as overall assemblage structure, display strong negative relationships with latitude, which conforms to the classical latitudinal gradient of diversity.

Daher wurde in der vorliegenden Studie eine neu konstruierte Subterranfalle verwendet, die es möglich macht, das Substrat Keywords: störungsfrei und in verschiedenen Tiefen zu besammeln. Die Fallen waren von 2000 bis subterranean 2004 an vier alpinen Standorten in Verwendung (Zillertaler Alpen, Tirol; Schneeberg, trap, Carabidae, Niederösterreich; Koralpe und Hochobir, Kärnten). Es konnten 19 Laufkäferarten mit Oreonebria, soil 1823 Individuen gefangen werden. 94 Prozent aller Individuen wurden in einer Tiefe depth gradient, bis 20 cm gefangen, einige Exemplare sogar in 50 cm Tiefe. Die Gattung Oreonebria stratification, Alps ist, sowohl als Adulte wie auch als Larven, an jedem Standort das häufigste Taxon. Von drei Oreonebria-Arten (O. austriaca, O. diaphana, O. schusteri) konnten erstmals Larvenstadien gefangen werden. Abstract: In most rock-dominated alpine habitats such as dolines, block fields and glacier retreat zones, the use of standard methods for epigeic and soil fauna, e.g. pitfall traps and hand collecting, is problematic. Thus we used a novel subterranean trap which enables exact stratification of subterranean fauna along a soil depth gradient as well as undisturbed emptying even in short time intervals.

  • Samkeit Von Laufkäfern in Deutschland: Taxa Welcher Lebensräume Deutschlands Sind Betroffen?1
    Verantwortlichkeit für den Schutz und Raumbedeut- samkeit von Laufkäfern in Deutschland: Taxa welcher Lebensräume Deutschlands sind betroffen?1 Horst Gruttke 1 Gewidmet Prof. Dr. Gerd Müller-Motzfeld Abstract: Responsibility for Conservation and Space Importance of ground beetles in Germany: Taxa of which Habitats are concerned? – Concepts of responsibility and space importance have been combined by Müller-Motzfeld , Trautner and Bräunicke in 2004. Both concepts are linked to the tasks deri- ving from the Rio Convention on Biological Diversity. Responsibility of Germany for the conservation of organisms consist of 2 main categories (“especially high responsible”: “!!” and “highly responsible”: “!”) and 1 category for highly isolated outposts “(!)”. Space importance comprises 3 categories: endemic in Germany (E), central European distribution (rz) and wider European distribution (re). A Swiss approach to derive reasonable threshold levels of areal proportion adequate for assigning national responsibility from a so called “expectation value” for a country and some modifications including propor- tions of “suitable habitat” as reference are discussed. In Germany temperate woodland and flood-plains or estuaries had been originally dominating, comprising together about 10 % of these habitat types in Europe. Among taxa with high conservation responsibility, species of woodlands and humid habitats are dominating as well, but species of meadows and xero-thermic or mountain habitats are listed, too. The distribution of carabid taxa with high space importance is similar but with some significant differences. It comprises more alpine and mountain species, particularly those from block and rubble-slopes. Arguments for a revision of existing lists are presented, Carabus auronitens being an exemplary candidate for integration into the list of taxa for which Germany bears a high conservation responsibility.
