  • Leaf Beetle Larvae
    Scottish Beetles BeesIntroduction and wasps to Leaf Beetles (Chrysomelidae) There are approximately 281 species of leaf beetles in the UK. This guide is an introduction to 17 species found in this family. It is intended to be used in combination with the beetle anatomy guide and survey and recording guides. Colourful and often metallic beetles, where the 3rd tarsi is heart shaped. Species in this family are 1-18mm and are oval or elongated oval shaped. The plants each beetle is found on are usually key to their identification. Many of the species of beetles found in Scotland need careful examination with a microscope to identify them. This guide is designed to introduce some of the leaf beetles you may find and give some key Dead nettle leaf beetle (Chrysolina fastuosa ) 5-6mm This leaf beetle is found on hemp nettle and dead nettle plants. It is beautifully coloured with its typically metallic green base and blue, red and gold banding. The elytra are densely punctured. Where to look - Found mainly in wetlands from March to December from the Central Belt to Aberdeenshire and Inverness © Ben Hamers © Ben Rosemary leaf beetle (Chrysolina americana ) 6-8mm The Rosemary beetle is a recent invasive non- native species introduced to the UK through the international plant trade. This beetle is metallic red/burgundy with green striping. There are lines of punctures typically following the green stripes. Where to look - Found in nurseries, gardens and parks. Feeds on lavender and rosemary in particular. There have been records in Edinburgh but this beetle is spreading.

  • Effect of Distance to Urban Areas on Saproxylic Beetles in Urban Forests
    Effect of distance to urban areas on saproxylic beetles in urban forests Effekt av avstånd till bebyggda områden på vedlevande skalbaggar i urbana skogsområden Jeffery D Marker Faculty of Health, Science and Technology Biology: Ecology and Conservation Biology Master’s thesis, 30 hp Supervisor: Denis Lafage Examiner: Larry Greenberg 2019-01-29 Series number: 19:07 2 Abstract Urban forests play key roles in animal and plant biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services. Habitat fragmentation and expanding urbanization threaten biodiversity in and around urban areas. Saproxylic beetles can act as bioindicators of forest health and their diversity may help to explain and define urban-forest edge effects. I explored the relationship between saproxylic beetle diversity and distance to an urban area along nine transects in the Västra Götaland region of Sweden. Specifically, the relationships between abundance and species richness and distance from the urban- forest boundary, forest age, forest volume, and tree species ratio was investigated Unbaited flight interception traps were set at intervals of 0, 250, and 500 meters from an urban-forest boundary to measure beetle abundance and richness. A total of 4182 saproxylic beetles representing 179 species were captured over two months. Distance from the urban forest boundary showed little overall effect on abundance suggesting urban proximity does not affect saproxylic beetle abundance. There was an effect on species richness, with saproxylic species richness greater closer to the urban-forest boundary. Forest volume had a very small positive effect on both abundance and species richness likely due to a limited change in volume along each transect. An increase in the occurrence of deciduous tree species proved to be an important factor driving saproxylic beetle abundance moving closer to the urban-forest.

  • Diversity of Chrysomelidae (Coleoptera) at a Mountain Range in the Limit of the Eurosiberian Region, Northwest Spain: Species Richness and Beta Diversity
    © Entomologica Fennica. 6 June 2007 Diversity of Chrysomelidae (Coleoptera) at a mountain range in the limit of the Eurosiberian region, northwest Spain: species richness and beta diversity Andrés Baselga & Francisco Novoa Baselga, A. & Novoa, F. 2007: Diversity of Chrysomelidae (Coleoptera) at a mountain range in the limit of the Eurosiberian region, northwest Spain: species richness and beta diversity. — Entomol. Fennica 18: 65–73. Chrysomelidae from the Sierra de Queixa mountains (Galicia, northwest Spain) were sampled, reporting 93 species. The estimated local species richness using several non-parametric estimators and accumulation models varies between 104 and 142 species. To compare the Chrysomelidae fauna from Sierra de Queixa with other Galician assemblages we have assessed beta diversity among invento- ries and we have tested the differences on the zoogeographic compositions among areas. Sierra de Queixa is grouped with other Galician mountain ranges located in the transition zone between Eurosiberian and Mediterranean regions, and it is characterised by a high proportion of Iberian endemic species, signifi- cantly higher than expected. Therefore, Chrysomelidae fauna from Sierra de Queixa represents a unique assemblage of Eurosiberian elements that reached the area due to the climatic conditions and Iberian endemic species that are present in the Iberian mountains due to its historic role as southern refugia during glaci- ations.

  • Systematic Catalog of Japanese Chrysomelidae12
    Pacific Insects 3 (1) : 117-202 April 20, 1961 SYSTEMATIC CATALOG OF JAPANESE CHRYSOMELIDAE12 (Coleoptera) By Michio Chujo3 and Shinsaku Kimoto4 INTRODUCTION The Chrysomelidae (leaf beetles) is one of the largest groups of Coleoptera. About 30,000 species of this family have been described from the world. All of them are phy­ tophagous and some of them are serious injurious insects. Taxonomic studies of this group are important in connection with agricultural and forest entomology. In spite of the need, a complete catalog of Japanese Chrysomelidae has not yet been published. Since 1956, we have worked on a systematic catalog of Japanese Chrysomelidae. Kimoto spent from September to November 1959 working on type specimens of Far Eastern Chrysomelidae in continental United States and Europe as Bishop Museum Fellow in Ento­ mology, after his one and a half years stay in Hawaii, working on Chinese Chrysomelidae. A revisional paper on type specimens in United States and European Museums, is planned by Kimoto. The scope of this paper is Japan, the Ryukyu Is., and small neighboring islands. In regard to applied entomology, food plants are also listed. Many of the new combinations or status or synonymies are based on Kimoto's studies of type specimens. After Hornstedt, 1788, studies on Japanese Chrysomelidae have been made by various workers. In the latter half of the 19th century, studies on Japanese fauna were made by Motschulsky, Harold, Kraatz, Baly, Jacoby, Boheman, Weise and other workers, especially Baly and Jacoby. Those works were chiefly descriptions of new genera and species. Most of the Japanese species were described during this period.

  • Beetles) of the Sandwell Valley
    A checklist of the Coleoptera (Beetles) Of the Sandwell Valley M.G.Bloxham August 2019 1 Summary 1095 Beetle Records 59 families 535 species 2 A provisional List of Sandwell Valley Beetles The list is the product of some 40 years of recording in the 20 one Km SP squares shown on the map. Records have not been gathered in any systematic way, but are the product of numerous visits to the area by individuals and field meetings when SANDNATS members carried out general recording events. A reference collection of nearly all the beetles discovered is held by Mike Bloxham. A few specimens are held by other entomologists. Mr Paul Edwards has a small unit of rove beetles and the late Mr Eric Brown (Coleoptera Recorder for Staffordshire) who checked nearly all the weevils and some beetles from other families, retained a few specimens for his collection. These are now located in The British Museum of Natural History (South Kensington). The collection probably reflects the ecology of the Sandwell Valley with its characteristic and varied mosaic of habitats reasonably well. It is also to some extent indicative of its history. A number of species included in the Index of Ecological Continuity and Saproxylic Quality index (marked in yellow in the lists) have been discovered in the fragmented woodlands on the old estate of the Earl of Dartmouth, with remnants of its surrounding deer park. These are probably survivors from a rather richer fauna that existed before the industrial revolution began to transform the area and the estate fell into disrepair.

These were carried out during the period June to October 2018, and included spring, summer and autumn surveys. Samples of invertebrates were taken from eight agreed habitat types (Tables 2 & 3) using sweep netting, hand-netting, hand searching, beating and tussocking. These specimens were subsequently identified during the winter of 2018-2019 (see Methods). These data were added to a spreadsheet (MNP0296_BwCo_Invert_Spp_Data_2018.xlsx) which accompanies this report.
