Among the insects inhabiting endorheic, temporary and highly saline small lakes of central Spain during dry periods, tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae) form particularly rich assemblages including unique endemic species. Cephalota dulcinea López, De la Rosa & Baena, 2006 is an endemic, regionally protected species that occurs only in saline marshes in Castilla-La Mancha (Central Spain). Here, we report that C. dulcinea suffers potential risks associated with counter-attacks by ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), while using them as prey at one of these marshes. Through mark–recapture methods, we estimated the population size of C. dulcinea at the study marsh as of 1352 individuals, with a sex ratio slightly biased towards males. Evident signs of ant defensive attack by the seed-harvesting ant Messor barbarus (Forel, 1905) were detected in 14% of marked individuals, sometimes with cut ant heads still grasped with their mandibles to the beetle body parts. Ant injuries have been more frequently recorded at the end of adult C.

  • Beetle (Cicindela Albissima)
    AMENDMENT TO THE 2009 CONSERVATION AGREEMENT AND STRATEGY FOR THE CORAL PINK SAND DUNES TIGER BEETLE (CICINDELA ALBISSIMA) March 2013 Prepared by the Conservation Committee for the Coral Pink Sand Dunes Tiger Beetle BACKGROUND Initially formalized in 1997 (Conservation Committee 1997, entire), and revised in 2009 (Conservation Committee 2009, entire) , the Conservation Agreement for the Coral Pink Sand Dunes Tiger Beetle (CCA) is a partnership for the development and implementation of conservation measures to protect the tiger beetle and its habitat. The purpose of the partnership is to ensure the long-term persistence of the Coral Pink Sand Dunes tiger beetle within its historic range and provide a framework for future conservation efforts. The Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Recreation, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Kane County, Utah, are signatories to these agreements and have implemented conservation actions to benefit the Coral Pink Sand Dunes (CPSD) tiger beetle and its habitat, monitored their effectiveness, and adapted strategies as new information became available. Among other actions, coordination under the CCA resulted in the establishment of two Conservation Areas that protect the Coral Pink Sand Dunes tiger beetle from off-road vehicle (ORV) use—Conservation Areas A and B (77 FR 60208). This amendment to the 2009 CCA outlines several new conservation actions that will be enacted to address the threats that were identified in the USFWS October 2, 2012 proposed rule (77 FR 60208). This amendment evaluated the most recent tiger beetle survey information (Knisley and Gowan 2013) and concluded that modifications to the boundaries of the Conservation Areas are needed to ensure continued protection of the tiger beetle from ongoing threats (see below description of threats).

THE TIGER BEETLES OF ALBERTA (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE, CICINDELINI)' Gerald J. Hilchie Department of Entomology University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E3. Quaestiones Entomologicae 21:319-347 1985 ABSTRACT In Alberta there are 19 species of tiger beetles {Cicindela). These are found in a wide variety of habitats from sand dunes and riverbanks to construction sites. Each species has a unique distribution resulting from complex interactions of adult site selection, life history, competition, predation and historical factors. Post-pleistocene dispersal of tiger beetles into Alberta came predominantly from the south with a few species entering Alberta from the north and west. INTRODUCTION Wallis (1961) recognized 26 species of Cicindela in Canada, of which 19 occur in Alberta. Most species of tiger beetle in North America are polytypic but, in Alberta most are represented by a single subspecies. Two species are represented each by two subspecies and two others hybridize and might better be described as a single species with distinct subspecies. When a single subspecies is present in the province morphs normally attributed to other subspecies may also be present, in which case the most common morph (over 80% of a population) is used for subspecies designation. Tiger beetles have always been popular with collectors. Bright colours and quick flight make these beetles a sporting and delightful challenge to collect.

Population size was determined using the mark-and-recatch method. Ten marked specimens were observed over periods of 0.5 to 1.5 hours and travel distances measured. Site population size was calculated to be 17 specimens in 2008, 12 – 13 in 2009, and 26 in 2010. Daily activity observations indicated maximum diurnal activity at 11:30 hrs CEST (12:30 hrs CET). Mean travel distance per hour was 125 m, mean range covered per day was 54 m. It can be derived from these data that a population of 100 specimens requires a one-kilometer stretch of beach and dune environment that is closed to public access. 1 Introduction shape of the white spots of the elytra (Fig. 1).
