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. bensoni HOPE , 1838 from Hong Kong too. ANDREWES (1920) described M. vitalisi from China but its type locality was not given. Then, ANDREWES and SCOTT (1924) recorded M. chaudoiri ANDREWES , 1919 (= M. trimaculatus CHAUDOIR , non OLI - VIER ) from Macao. 4 Polish Journal of Entomology 79 (1) MATERIAL AND METHODS Majority of the materials studied were from the Insect Collection of South China Agricul- tural University, Guangzhou (SCAU) and the rest were from Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris (MNHN), the National History Museum, London (NHML), and Guangxi Agricultural Academy of Sciences (Nanning, China). Dissection of specimens was made following the standard technique described by Lindroth (1974). Observations and measurements were made under stereo microscope (Leica, MZ125). Abbreviations of measurements used in the text are as follows: Length of head (HL): linear distance from apex of labrum to posterior transverse mar- gin; Width of head (HW): maximum distance across head including eyes; Length of pronotum (PL): linear distance from anterior to posterior margin, measured along the midline; Width of pronotum (PW): greatest transverse distance; Length of elytra (EL): linear distance from base to apex, through elytral suture; Width of elytra (EW): greatest linear transverse distance across both elytra. Genus Macrocheilus HOPE , 1838 Macrocheilus HOPE , 1838: 166. Type species: Macrocheilus bensoni HOPE , 1838. JEAN- NEL , 1949: 1041. Acanthogenius REICHE , 1842: 334. Type species: Helluo impictus WIEDEMANN , 1823. Diagnosis Medium sized (length from 8.0 to17.0 mm), elongate, whole body coarsely punctate and pubescent, except for labrum and middle region of ventral side of head (Figs 31-45). Head with two supraorbital setae on each side; ligula fairly wide, deeply impressed beneath at sides of base; mentum deeply emarginate, with a long and slender tooth; palpi varies in form; labrum extraordinarily or well developed; mandibles dorsally covered by labrum or not covered; antennae stout and flat, densely pubescent from antennomere 5. Pronotum truncate-cordiform or quadrate, basal margin more or less produced backwards in middle; lateral margin with two setae, one just before middle, and the other at hind angle. Elytra with deep striae and setiferous pores; intervals slightly or rather convex, interval 8 usually wide and quite obsolete. Metepisterna elongate and very narrow in all species. Tarsomere 4 emarginate. Wings developed. No externally visible sexual dimorphic characters present. The median lobe of aedeagus varies in form. Parameres of aedeagus are quite similar, elon- gate, the left one larger than the right one. ZHAO D., T IAN M.: A review of the genus Macrocheilus HOPE 5 Habits No record about the life-history and habits of the members of Macrocheilus exists. ANDREWES (1920) noted that M. trimaculatus OLIVIER (= M. bensoni HOPE ) came to light and specimens had also been taken under stones and on grasses. All specimens in SCAU were collected at light traps. Key to species of Chinese Macrocheilus 1.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT A study was carried out to investigate the ground beetles of four habitats - cultivated farmland, Ifallow plot, a marshy plot and a secondary regrowth forest at the permanent site of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria for a twelve-month period using the pitfall technique. Species of Coleoptera obtained from the four plots include Macrocheilus labrosus, Hyparpalus sp., Carpophilus fumatus (Boh.), Podagrica uniforma (Jac.), Tetragonothorax sp., Chlaenius sp., Pheropsophus parallus (Dej.), Silidus apicalis (Waterh), Tenebroides mauritanicus (L), Heteroderes sp., Heterorynchus licas (Klug.) and Mylabris sp., Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) indicate that the abundance of beetles wee significantly different in the cultivated farmland (F = 6.062). The result of Fisher’s Least Significance Difference (F-LSD) test shows that the pitfall catches of beetles from the four sampling sites were also significantly different. The heterogeneity of the coleopteran species at the cultivated plot was traced to cultivation. The role of certain coleopteran families as faunal indicators was highlighted. Other factors, which influenced the Coleopteran species at the four plots, were also discussed. Keywords: Insecta, Coleoptera, Agroecosystems,

  • 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.

Genera des Coleopteres (Suites ä Buffon, insectes) T. XI. Par M. F. Chapuis. Paris 1875. Der vorliegende Band bringt den Schluss der Chrysomelidae, nämlich die Abtheilungen der Hatticinae, Galerucinae, Hispinae und Cassidinae. Für die beiden letztgenannten Gruppen haben zwar dem Verf. die Arbeiten Baly's und Boheman's als Grundlagen gedient, er hat jedoch dieselben vielfach durch selbstständiges Studium umgestaltet, was besonders von der Boheman' sehen Monographie gilt, in welcher bekanntlich gegen das Detail der Artenbeschreibungen die höhere systematische Gliederung sehr vernachlässigt worden ist. Gänzlich neue Bahnen musste sich der Verf. dagegen bei den Galerucinae und Hatticinae brechen, die vor ihm noch Niemand zum Gegenstand einer umfassenden Bearbeitung gewählt hatte. Hier hat derselbe wenn auch keine endgiltige und erschöpfende Darstellung des Stoffes, wozu ihm offenbar nicht hinreichendes Material zur Disposition stand, so doch eine erstmalige allgemeine und gründliche Durcharbeitung desselben geliefert. Das eminente Verdienst des Verf.'s beruht also nicht allein in der gewandten und sorgfältigen Behandlung seines Themas, sondern wesentlich darin, dass durch seine Arbeit gegenwärtig eine feste Basis gegeben ist, an welcher das weitere systematische Studium der be- treffenden Gruppen stets eine zuverlässige Stütze finden wird. Die „Genera des Coleopteres" sind wohl jedem wissenschaftlich thätigen Entomologen zur Hand und ich kann mich daher um so mehr auf eine kurze Anzeige derselben beschränken als auch für Vol. XII des Münchener Catalogs dieser Band noch benutzt werden konnte.
