Forensic entomology can help to estimate the time elapsed since death by studying the necrophagous insects collected on a cadaver and its surroundings. In this paper forty eight species (369 specimens) are listed that belong to seven families: Silphidae (3 species), Staphylinidae (6 species), Histeridae (11 species), Anobiidae (4 species), Cleridae (6 species), Dermestidae (14 species), and Nitidulidae (4 species). -
Decline of Six Native Mason Bee Species Following the Arrival of an Exotic Congener Kathryn A
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Decline of six native mason bee species following the arrival of an exotic congener Kathryn A. LeCroy1*, Grace Savoy‑Burke2, David E. Carr1, Deborah A. Delaney2 & T’ai H. Roulston1 A potential driver of pollinator declines that has been hypothesized but seldom documented is the introduction of exotic pollinator species. International trade often involves movement of many insect pollinators, especially bees, beyond their natural range. For agricultural purposes or by inadvertent cargo shipment, bee species successfully establishing in new ranges could compete with native bees for food and nesting resources. In the Mid‑Atlantic United States, two Asian species of mason bee (Osmia taurus and O. cornifrons) have become recently established. Using pan‑trap records from the Mid‑Atlantic US, we examined catch abundance of two exotic and six native Osmia species over the span of ffteen years (2003–2017) to estimate abundance changes. All native species showed substantial annual declines, resulting in cumulative catch losses ranging 76–91% since 2003. Exotic species fared much better, with O. cornifrons stable and O. taurus increasing by 800% since 2003. We characterize the areas of niche overlap that may lead to competition between native and exotic species of Osmia, and we discuss how disease spillover and enemy release in this system may result in the patterns we document. International trade creates opportunities for plant and animal species to be intentionally or inadvertently intro- duced into novel ecosystems where they may interact with native species. One outcome of species introductions is the potential for competitive interactions with native species, especially those that are most closely related to the introduced species. -
The Influence of the Type of Storage on Pest Infestation of Stored Grain in the Czech Republic
The influence of the type of storage on pest infestation of stored grain in the Czech Republic V. Stejskal1, J. Hubert1, Z. Kučerová1, Z. Munzbergová2, 3, J. Lukáš1, E. Žďárková1 1Research Institute of Crop Production, Prague-Ruzyně, Czech Republic 2Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic 3Botanical Institute, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Průhonice, Czech Republic ABSTRACT Stored-product pests cause high economic losses by feeding on stored grain and endanger the public health by contamina- tion of food by allergens. Therefore, the aim of this work was to explore whether the risk of infestation of stored grain by pests is different in various types of storage premises. We compared the level of infestation and the pest species compo- sition in the two main types of grain stores in Central Europe that includes horizontal flat-stores (HFS) and vertical silo- stores (elevators) (VSS). A total of 147 grain stores located in Bohemia, Czech Republic was inspected. We found that both types of stores were infested with arthropods of three main taxonomic groups: mites (25 species, 120 000 individu- als), psocids (8 species, 5 600 individuals) and beetles (23 species, 4 500 individuals). We found that VSS and HFS differ in species composition of mites, psocids and beetles. However, the primary grain pests (i.e. Lepidoglyphus destructor, Acarus siro, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Lachesilla pedicularia, Sitophilus oryzae, Rhyzopertha dominica, Oryzaephilus surinamensis and Cryptolestes ferrugineus) occurred in both types of stores. The only exception was higher frequency and abundance of two serious beetle-pests (Tribolium castaneum, Sitophilus granarius) in HFS than in VSS. -

Phylogeny and Evolution of Myrmecophily in Beetles, Based on Morphological Evidence (Coleoptera: Ptinidae, Scarabaeidae)
Phylogeny and Evolution Of Myrmecophily In Beetles, Based On Morphological Evidence (Coleoptera: Ptinidae, Scarabaeidae) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Glené Mynhardt Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Johannes Klompen, Advisor Marymegan Daly Norman Johnson T. Keith Philips Copyright by Glené Mynhardt 2012 Abstract Ant-associated behavior has evolved rampantly among various groups of Arthropoda, and has arisen in at least 34 families of beetles. Due to the amazing morphological modifications and different kinds of interactions that occur within myrmecophilous (ant-associated) beetles, authors have predicted that myrmecophily has evolved in a step-wise fashion from casual, facultative associations to closely integrated, obligate interactions. In this dissertation, myrmecophily within the Coleoptera is reviewed, and known behaviors, ant-beetle interactions, and associated morphological adaptations are discussed. In order to better understand how myrmecophily has evolved, two groups of beetles are studied in a phylogenetic context. A cladistic analysis of 40 species of the myrmecophilous scarab genus, Cremastocheilu s Knoch is presented. Characters related to a myrmecophilous habit are largely informative, especially those characters related to the glandular trichomes (clusters of setae typically associated with exocrine glands). Two of the five previously recognized subgenera, C. (Myrmecotonus ) and C. (Anatrinodia ) are synonymized with the subgenus C. (Cremastocheilus ). Even though behavioral information is only known for a few species, the resulting phylogeny indicates that monophyletic subgenera are largely associated with the same ant hosts, although specific interactions with ant hosts can vary even in closely-related taxa. -
Ptinus Sexpunctatus Panzer (Coleoptera: Anobiidae: Ptininae)
Volume 118, Number 1, January and February 2007 73 PTINUS SEXPUNCTATUS PANZER (COLEOPTERA: ANOBIIDAE, PTININAE) NEWLY RECORDED IN NORTH AMERICA1 Christopher G. Majka,2 T. Keith Philips,3 and Cory Sheffield4 ABSTRACT: The Palearctic spider beetle, Ptinus sexpunctatus Panzer (Anobiidae: Ptininae), is newly recorded in North America from collections in Nova Scotia, Canada, and Pennsylvania and Utah in the United States. It is also newly recorded in association with the native blue orchard mason bee, Osmia lignaria Say (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae). Its presence on the continent is briefly dis- cussed in the context of mechanisms of introduction of invertebrates to North America. KEY WORDS: Ptinus, Anobiidae, Megachilidae, introduced species, new records Ptinus sexpunctatus Panzer is a Palearctic spider beetle (Anobiidae: Ptininae) found from southern Europe north to England and southern Fennoscandia and Karelia; it is also known from the Caucasus (Burakowski et al., 1986) and east to Siberia (Borowski 1996). Within its native range it is an associate of cavity- nesting solitary bees in the genera Osmia and Megachile and also with Hoplitus adunca (Panzer) and Chelostoma nigricorne (Nylander) (Linsley 1942). It is also found in oak (Quercus) forests, particularly in galleries of Cerambyx cerdo Linnaeus (Cerambycidae) (Burakowski et al., 1986). Thirty-eight native and non-native species in the genus Ptinus Linnaeus (spi- der beetles) (Philips 2002) and three additional adventive species not yet report- ed in the literature (Philips, unpublished data) are found in North America. A large number of introduced species in the genera Gibbium Scopoli, Mezium Curtis, Niptus Boildieu, Pseudeurostus Heyden, Sphaericus Wollaston, Tipnus Thompson, and Trigonogenius Solier have also been recorded from North America (Philips 2002). -

Orsis, 9: 77-84 (1994) Nuevos datos taxonÓmicos, corológicos y biológicos sobre Ptinus (Gynopterus)pyrenaeus Pic (Coleoptera, Ptinidae) Xavier Bellés' y Jordi Bosch2 1. Centro de Investigación y Desarrollo (CSIC). Jordi Girona, 18.08034 Barcelona 2. Departament Biologia Animal. Facultat de Biologia. Universitat de Barcelona. Diagonal, 645. 08028 Barcelona Key words: Ptinuspyrenaeus, Ptinus martinezi, host records, nests of Hymenoptera, Megachilidae, parasitism, Anogmus hohenheimensis, Pteromalidae. Abstract. New data on the taxonomy, corology, and biology ofPtinus (Gynoptems) pyrenaeus Pic (Coleoptera, Ptinidae). In this study the synonymy of Ptinus martinezi (Escalera) and Ptinus pyre- naeus Pic is proposed. The area of distribution is expanded with new records from the southern slope of the Pyrenees, the iberian Meseta and Andalusia. From the biological point of view, frequent fin- dings indicate a close association of P. pyrenaeus with nests of solitary hymenoptera (especially Osmia bees), where it behaves as a nest destroyer, feeding on pollen and all sorts of debris found in cells. Anogmus hohenheimensis (Ratzeburg) (Pteromalidae) (cited for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula) is recorded as a parasite of P. pyrenaeus. Resum. Des del punt de vista taxonbrnic es proposa el pas de Ptinus martinezi (Escalera) al qua- dre sinonímic de P. pyrenaeus Pic, i des del punt de vista corolbgic es completa la seva distribució al vessant sud dels Pirineus i s'amplia a la Meseta iberica i Andalusia. Pel que fa a la biologia, s'indi- ca una estreta associació de P. pyrenaeus amb nius d'himenbpters solitaris, sobretot abelles del gkne- re Osmia, on actua m6s aviat com a comensal, alimentant-se de pol.len i d'altres restes trobades a les cel.les. -

XAVIER BELLES (1) RESUM Les dades obtingudes despres d'estudiar la col.lecci6 de Ptinidae del Museu de Zoologia de Barcelona, s6n les que han servit de base per a la redacci6 d'aquesta nota. El treball es, doncs, fonamentalment taxonbmic i ha permbs la recopilaci6 de 24 espbcies pertanyents a 8 gbneres. Es d6na compte de dos gbneres (Mezium i Micrgptinus) i nou cspbcies (Ptinus dubius, P. palliatus, P. aubei, P. sexpunctatus, P. pyrenaeus, P. coarcticollis, P. subpilosus, P. ti- mid~csi P. perrini) que mai no havien estat trobades a Catalunya, Bdhuc dues d'elles (sexpunctatus i perrini) s6n noves per a la Peninsula Ibbrica. Ultra eis comentaris purament sistemhtics, he cregut oportú d'incloure algunes dades bioecolbgiques que considero d'interks. Les données que nous avons obtenu aprds 1'6tude de la collection de Ptinidae du Musde de Zoologie de Barcelonne, ont servi comme materiel de base pour la rédaction de cette notte. Ce travail est donc fondamentalement taxonomique et nous a permis la recopilation de 24 esphes apartennants B 8 genres. Nous apportons deux genres (Mezium i Microptinus) et neuf espbces non citées anterieurement en Catalogne (Ptinus dubius, P. palliatus, P. aubei, P. sexpunctatus, P. pyrenaeus, P. coarcticollis, P. subpilosus, P. timidus et P. perrini), parmi elles, deux sont nouvelles pour la Peninsule Iberique (sexpunctatus et perrini). En plus des commentaires purement systématiques, nous avons considerd opportun d'inclure auelques donndes biodcologiques interessantes. (1) c/. Can Bruixa, 10-12, 4.", 3.". Barcelona-28.
