    Electronic Version 2005 Checklist of the Cerambycidae, of the Western Hemisphere Oreodera olivaceotincta Tippman, male Miguel A. Monné Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Quina da Boa Vista, 20940-040, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil Frank T. Hovore 14734 Sundance Place Santa Clarita, CA, USA, 91387-1542 2005 2 Electronic Checklist of the Cerambycidae of the Western Hemisphere 2005 Version (updated through 01 January 2006) Miguel A. Monné & Frank T. Hovore, Compilers Introduction The Cerambycidae, commonly known as longhorned beetles, longicorns, capricorns, round-headed borers, timber beetles, goat beetles (bock-käfern), or sawyer beetles, comprise one of the largest and most varied families of Coleoptera, with body length alone varying from ± 2.5 mm (Cyrtinus sp.) to slightly over 17 cm (Titanus giganteus). Distributed world-wide from sea level to montane sites as high as 4,200 m elevation wherever their host plants are found, cerambycids have long been a favorite with collectors. Taxonomic interest in the family has been fairly consistent for the past century, but the description of new taxa has accelerated in recent decades thanks to the efforts of Chemsak, Linsley, Giesbert, Martins, Monné, Galileo, Napp, and other workers. This checklist builds upon the efforts of Blackwelder (1946), Chemsak & Linsley (1982), Chemsak, Linsley & Noguera (1992), and Monné & Giesbert (1994), and presently includes nearly 9,000 described species and subspecies, covering the terrestrial hemisphere from Canada and Alaska to Argentina and Chile, and including the Caribbean arc. Adult Cerambycidae, upon which most taxonomic studies in the family have been based, vary widely in their habits. Some species are nocturnal, many are attracted to artificial light, and they also may be found at night on the trunks and branches of their host plants, or on foliage.

Part XI. Generic taxonomy, intergeneric phylogeny, and catalogue of the subfamily. Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae biologicae (Brno) 99(2): 5–94. – This treatise is the author’s culmination efforts with the checkered beetle subfamily Epiphloeinae Kuwert. The work contains a summation of the natural history of epiphloeine species, discussion of characters and character states found useful for the discernment of epiphloeine genera and species, description of the subfamily, key to genera, synoptic description of the genera, intergeneric hypothesis of phylogeny, catalogue of the species with each species represented by a color photograph, and index of genera, their species, and their synonyms. Keywords. Coleoptera, Cleridae, Epiphloeinae, genera, phylogeny, catalogue Introduction Epiphloeines are New World arbophilic beetles that frequent tree trunks infested with wood decomposing insects such as bark beetles. Within this group of checkered beetles one finds considerable intrageneric diversity of integumental color and body form varies extensively across generic lines. The species of some genera blend beautifully with the dark scabrous characteristic of tree bark; as in members of Plocamocera Spinola and Silverasia Nemésio. In other epiphloeines the elytra are brightly colored, as one finds among species of the mimetic Epiphloeus Spinola and Acanthocollum Opitz.

The water scavenger beetle genus Lachnodacnum Orchymont, 1937 sensu HANSEN (1991) is revised. The three species that had previously been placed in the genus, L. luederwaldti Orchymont, 1937 (southern Brazil), L. saundersi Orchymont, 1937 (northern Brazil) and L. urichi (Scott, 1912) (Trinidad and Tobago), are redescribed in detail and illustrated with habitus photographs, line drawings, and SEM micrographs of relevant diagnostic characters. Lachnodacnum urichi is found not to be congeneric with the remaining two species. It is transferred to the genus Phaenostoma Orchymont, 1937 (as P. urichi (Scott, 1912) comb.

Subfamilies Lepturinae, Necydalinae, Parandrinae, Prioninae, Spondylidinae and Families Oxypeltidae, Vesperidae and Disteniidae. All informations of the present catalogue were previously published, there is not unpublished data. The geographical distribution in the Neotropical Region is based on previously published records, supplemented by data extracted from several collections. Major political divisions for larger countries (United States, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina) are provided. Tribes are listed in alphabetical order, and in each tribe genera and species follow the same order. Each species-group name is followed by author (s), publication year, page, and figure (if any), and when not strictly taxonomical, an abbreviated indication of the matter is given as: ab. - aberration biol. - biological data cat. - catalogue distr. - distribution ecol. - ecological data emend. - emendation lect. - lectotype (designation). mim. - mimetism paras. - parasites pred. - predators refs - bibliographic references rev. - revision reval. - revalidation syn. - synonymy terat - teratology var. - variety Acronyms of the institutions or private colections mentioned in the Part III of the catalogue: AACP - Alain Audureau private collection, St Gilles Croix de Vie, France. ACMT - American Coleoptera Museum, Texas, United States AMNH - American Museum of Natural History, New York, New York, United States.

  • Cerambycidae of Ecuador (ECU) Compiled by F.T
    Checklist of the Cerambycidae of Ecuador (ECU) Compiled by F.T. Hovore, 2002 (excerpted from the Electronic Checklist of the Cerambycidae of the Western Hemisphere, Monné & Hovore, 2002). This list contains species for which specific data from Ecuador has been verified, or taxa which are known to be widespread throughout Andean and upper Amazonian South America and would be expected to occur in Ecuador. Some taxon groups presently are poorly represented in collections, and more field studies are needed to resolve the issue of whether they are less diverse in the fauna than would be expected, or simply have been under-collected. For example, groups with high taxonomic diversity elsewhere in Amazonia (such as the Piezocerini, Ibidionini, Rhinotragini, Lepturinae), are known from relatively few species in Ecuador, and speciose acanthocinine genera such as Lepturges and Urgleptes have only a few (or no) species recorded from the country. It is probable that further collecting will show that most of these groups are much better-represented in the fauna than they presently appear. Based upon field observations and specimens examined for the compilation of this list, it is apparent that hundreds more species of cerambycids will be added to the list by future collections. Most lowland species occur either in Amazonia or on the coastal slope, but very few taxa occur in both regions, the Andes apparently serving as an effective barrier to their distributions. However, some middle-elevation species do occur on both sides of the Andean crest, and there is a discreet fauna which is distributed across the higher elevations of the mountains, above about 6,000 (+2,000 m) feet elevation.

  • Classification, Phylogeny, and Zoogeography of the Genus Penlypus (Coleoptera: Cleridae)
    Classification, Phylogeny, and Zoogeography of the Genus Penlypus (Coleoptera: Cleridae) GINTER EKIS SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 227 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. Press requirements for manuscript and art preparation are outlined on the inside back cover.
