B A N I S T E R I A A JOURNAL DEVOTED TO THE NATURAL HISTORY OF VIRGINIA ISSN 1066-0712 Published by the Virginia Natural History Society The Virginia Natural History Society (VNHS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the dissemination of scientific information on all aspects of natural history in the Commonwealth of Virginia, including botany, zoology, ecology, archaeology, anthropology, paleontology, geology, geography, and climatology. The society’s periodical Banisteria is a peer-reviewed, open access, online-only journal. Submitted manuscripts are published individually immediately after acceptance. A single volume is compiled at the end of each year and published online. The Editor will consider manuscripts on any aspect of natural history in Virginia or neighboring states if the information concerns a species native to Virginia or if the topic is directly related to regional natural history (as defined above). Biographies and historical accounts of relevance to natural history in Virginia also are suitable for publication in Banisteria. Membership dues and inquiries about back issues should be directed to the Co-Treasurers, and correspondence regarding Banisteria to the Editor.

The ground beetle supertribe Zuphiitae in the southern Levant (Coleoptera, Carabidae). Spixiana 38 (2): 237-262. Based on the study of approximately 400 specimens, we give an overview of the systematics and taxonomy, distribution, dispersal power, and habitat preferences of the carabids belonging to the tribes Anthiini, Helluonini, Dryptini, and Zuphiini in the southern Levant (Egypt: Sinai, Israel and Jordan). We provide identification keys for the members of the given taxa in this region. Eleven species of the Zuphi- itae sensu Ober & Maddison (2008) have previously been published from the southern Levant. -
Phylogenetic Diversification Patterns and Divergence Times in Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Harpalinae) Karen a Ober1*, Thomas N Heider1,2
Ober and Heider BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:262 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/262 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Phylogenetic diversification patterns and divergence times in ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Harpalinae) Karen A Ober1*, Thomas N Heider1,2 Abstract Background: Harpalinae is a species rich clade of carabid beetles with many unusual morphological forms and ecological interactions. How this diversity evolved has been difficult to reconstruct, perhaps because harpalines underwent a rapid burst of diversification early in their evolutionary history. Here we investigate the tempo of evolution in harpalines using molecular divergence dating techniques and explore the rates of lineage accumulation in harpalines and their sister group. Results: According to molecular divergence date estimates, harpalines originated in the mid Cretaceous but did not diversify extensively until the late Cretaceous or early Paleogene about 32 million years after their origin. In a relatively small window of time, harpalines underwent rapid speciation. Harpalines have a relative high net diversification rate and increased cladogenesis in some regions of the clade. We did not see a significant decrease in diversification rate through time in the MCCR test, but a model of diversification with two shift points to lower diversification rates fit the harpaline lineage accumulation through time the best. Conclusions: Our results indicate harpalines are significantly more diverse and have higher diversification than their sistergroup. Instead of an immediate burst of explosive diversification, harpalines may have had a long “fuse” before major lineages diversified during the early Paleogene when other taxa such as mammals, birds, and some flowering plants were also rapidly diversifying. -

Sims Department of Entomology Smithsonian Institution Washington, D.C. 20560 U. S. A. Quaestiones Entomologicae 20:351-466 1984 ABSTRACT The fauna of the Greater Antilles was extensively sampled and studied by P.J. Darlington, Jr., beginning with his early field trips there in 1934 and ending with his paper on tropical island carabids in 1970. The Lesser Antilles and Bahamas have had far less attention; most islands have not yet been sampled. The following tribes are recorded within the geographic area covered by the present study, which includes the Greater and Lesser Antilles, Bahamas, and most smaller islands not on the continental shelf: Carabini; Megacephalini; "Cicindelini; Enceladini; Pseudomorphini; Scaritini; "Clivinini; Ozaenini; Brachinini; 'Rhysodini; Trechini; Pogonini; "Bembidiini; Morionini; *Pterostichini; Panagaeini; Callistini; Oodini; Licinini; 'Harpalini; Ctenodactylini; Perigonini; Lachnophorini; Cyclosomini; Masoreini; Pentagonicini; Odacanthini; 'Lebiini; *Zuphiini; Galeritini. The tribes whose names are marked with an asterisk each have more than a dozen species thus far recorded from the West Indies. The tribes which occur in this area are also extensively distributed in the world, and are well represented in the Neotropical Region. -

In the present paper a review of the genus Macrocheilus HOPE , 1838 (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Helluonini) of China is provided, with descriptions of seven new species, viz. M. parvimacu- latus sp. nov. , M. gigas sp. nov. , M. fuscipennis sp. nov. , M. solidipalpis sp. nov. , M. cheni sp. nov., M. quadratus sp. nov. , and M. sinuatilabris sp. nov. A key to all species found in China is also given. In addition, M. asteriscus White is reported from Laos, Indonesia and India for the first time. KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Carabidae, Helluonini, Macrocheilus , review, new species, China. INTRODUCTION Macrocheilus HOPE , 1838 is the largest genus within the tribe Helluonini. Forty-eight spe- cies of the genus have been reported so far (LORENZ 2005), with thirty-four from the Afro- tropical Region, twelve from the Oriental Region and two from the Palaearctic Region. The Oriental fauna of Macrocheilus have been treated by ANDREWES (1920) and JEDLI ČKA (1963). Up to now only four species of Macrocheilus are known from China (ANDREWES , 1930, CSIKI 1933, JEDLI ČKA 1963, HŮRKA 2003). The first record of Macrocheilus from China was M . asteriscus from Hong Kong (WHITE 1844). BATES (1892) reported the occu- rrence of M. -
