Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract Increasing forest management resulting from bark beetle attack in British Columbia's forests has created a need to assess the impact of single species management on local insect biodiversity. In the Fort St James Forest District, in central British Columbia, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Franco) (Fd) grows at the northern limit of its North American range. At the district level the species is rare (representing 1% of timber stands), and in the early 1990's growing populations of the Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsuage Hopkins) threatened the loss of all mature Douglas-fir habitat in the district. -

Seis de ellas son primeras citas para las islas Canarias. La mayoría de las especies citadas infectan Carabidae (Coleoptera). Muchas de las especies de hospedantes (23) son endémicas, siendo sólo nueve las de hospedantes que también se encuentran fuera de la región Macaronésica. Los Carabidae, como familia más diversa de hospedantes, incluyen 21 especies endémicas y 6 de amplia distribución. Las pautas de distribución de Laboulbeniales dependen de dos factores ecológicos (humedad y biodiversidad de los hospedantes) que varían mucho entre las distintas islas. Palabras clave: Laboulbeniales, Carabidae, Staphylinidae, Anthicidae, Blattaria, Ephydridae, islas Canarias. ABSTRACT: The list includes 23 species of Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota) in 8 genera. Six species are new for the Canary Islands. The majority of recorded species infests Carabidae (Coleoptera). Most host species (23) are endemic, only nine hosts also occur outside the Macaronesian region. There are 21 endemic and 6 widespread host species in the Carabidae as most diverse host family. The distribution pattern of Laboulbeniales corresponds with two ecological factors (moisture and host biodiversity respectively) which vary strongly between the different islands. -

The fauna of Carabidae in Azarbaijan, Iran, is very diverse and has not been studied thoroughly. In the following paper, this group of beneficial predators is studied, using samples taken through 2007–2010 across Azarbaijan. Species belonging to 12 subfamilies were collected from 24 different localities. Among this diverse fauna, 3 species, Broscus cephalotes (Linnaeus, 1758), Harpalus (Pseudoophonus) calceatus (Duftschmid, 1812), and Amara (Xenocelia) ingenua Duftschmid, 1812 are new records for Iranian fauna. Key words: Carabidae, ground beetle, new record, Azarbaijan, Iran 1. Introduction (2007), Toledano and Marggi (2007), and Muilwijk and Carabidae Latreille 1802, or ground beetles, belong to Felix (2008). the suborder Adephaga and order Coleoptera, and they Despite the importance of ground beetles as predators comprise more than 40,000 species worldwide. Carabids of insect pests in agroecosystems, few faunistic studies often are found on the ground and under stones or have been carried out in the study area (Afshar, 1944; logs, or in leaf litter, but many of them, especially those Farahbakhsh, 1961; Zomorrodi, 1990; Esmaili et al., 1991; in the tropics, are arboreal.
