Part III. Subfamilies Lepturinae, Necydalinae, Parandrinae, Prioninae, Spondylidinae and Families Oxypeltidae, Vesperidae and Disteniidae. This catalogue is an attempt to offer the names, the geographical distribution and bibliographic references for extant taxa of Neotropical Cerambycidae, Oxypeltidae, Vesperidae and Disteniidae. All informations of the present catalogue were previously published, there is not unpublished data. The geographical distribution of the extant families and subfamilies 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, Bolivia 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 et al., - more than three authors 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.

  • Elytra Reduction May Affect the Evolution of Beetle Hind Wings

    Elytra Reduction May Affect the Evolution of Beetle Hind Wings

    Zoomorphology https://doi.org/10.1007/s00435-017-0388-1 ORIGINAL PAPER Elytra reduction may affect the evolution of beetle hind wings Jakub Goczał1 · Robert Rossa1 · Adam Tofilski2 Received: 21 July 2017 / Revised: 31 October 2017 / Accepted: 14 November 2017 © The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract Beetles are one of the largest and most diverse groups of animals in the world. Conversion of forewings into hardened shields is perceived as a key adaptation that has greatly supported the evolutionary success of this taxa. Beetle elytra play an essential role: they minimize the influence of unfavorable external factors and protect insects against predators. Therefore, it is particularly interesting why some beetles have reduced their shields. This rare phenomenon is called brachelytry and its evolution and implications remain largely unexplored. In this paper, we focused on rare group of brachelytrous beetles with exposed hind wings. We have investigated whether the elytra loss in different beetle taxa is accompanied with the hind wing shape modification, and whether these changes are similar among unrelated beetle taxa. We found that hind wings shape differ markedly between related brachelytrous and macroelytrous beetles. Moreover, we revealed that modifications of hind wings have followed similar patterns and resulted in homoplasy in this trait among some unrelated groups of wing-exposed brachelytrous beetles. Our results suggest that elytra reduction may affect the evolution of beetle hind wings. Keywords Beetle · Elytra · Evolution · Wings · Homoplasy · Brachelytry Introduction same mechanism determines wing modification in all other insects, including beetles. However, recent studies have The Coleoptera order encompasses almost the quarter of all provided evidence that formation of elytra in beetles is less currently known animal species (Grimaldi and Engel 2005; affected by Hox gene than previously expected (Tomoyasu Hunt et al.

Large grazing herbivores drive the ecology of the site and can have a profound impact on invertebrates, both positive and negative. This survey was commissioned in order to assess the site’s invertebrate assemblage in a standardised and repeatable way both internally between fields and sections and temporally between years.

In Memoriam Frank T. HOVORE Los Cerambycidae forman una familia muy numerosa y muy variada. Todos sus miembros son fitófagos. La mayoría tienen antenas largas y el cuerpo de forma cilíndrica, alargada. La coloración es muy variada pero muchas especies presentan colores bonitos. Los tarsos, de 5 segmentos, parecen de 4 segmentos, con el tercero bilobulado (con excepción de los Parandrinae). Los adultos se encuentran sobre flores, ramas, troncos, follaje, bajo corteza, muchos son nocturnos, en algunas especies, los adultos casi no salen del tronco donde se criaron. Las larvas son cilíndricas, lo que las diferencia de los Buprestidae, que tienen la misma ecología. Las larvas son barrenadores de madera. Algunas especies son de importancia forestal o agronómica. Algunas especies atacan madera aserrada. La organización de esta familia sigue el orden de Chemsak, Linsley y Noguera (1992), luego se actualizó con las checklists electrónicas de Monné & Hovore (2001, 2005) y el catalogo de Monné (2006). La posición de muchos géneros exóticos fue ubicada a nivel de tribu usando el trabajo de López-Pérez (2005). Muchas especies de Cerambycidae fueron descritas de Nicaragua por Bates, en base a colectas de Thomas Belt en el siglo pasado realizadas en Chontales, en Santo Domingo, 12°16 N - 84°59 W, 500-1,000 fts.

Submission of Manuscripts: Works published or under consideration elsewhere (including on the internet) will not be accepted. At first submission, one double spaced hard copy (text and tables) with figures (may not be original) must be sent to the Editors, Dr. Hüseyin Özdikmen for publication in MEZ. All manuscripts should be submitted as Word file or PDF file in an e-mail attachment. If electronic submission is not possible due to limitations of electronic space at the sending or receiving ends, unavailability of e-mail, etc., we will accept “hard” versions, in triplicate, accompanied by an electronic version stored in a floppy disk, a CD-ROM. Review Process: When submitting manuscripts, all authors provides the name, of at least three qualified experts (they also provide their address, subject fields and e-mails). Then, the editors send to experts to review the papers. The review process should normally be completed within 45-60 days. After reviewing papers by reviwers: Rejected papers are discarded. For accepted papers, authors are asked to modify their papers according to suggestions of the reviewers and editors. Final versions of manuscripts and figures are needed in a digital format.
