In the central coastal plain these species are sympatric but do not occur in the same sites. The objective of this study was to record and describe trophic interactions between the adult beetles and amphibian species occurring in the central coastal plain of Israel. Day and night surveys at three sites, as well as controlled laboratory ex- periments were conducted for studying beetle-amphibian trophic interaction. In the field we recorded three cases of E.

Matalin & Kirill V. Makarov Zoology & Ecology Department, Moscow State Pedagogical University, Kibalchicha Str. 6, Bld. 5, Moscow 129164, Russia. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT In 2006-2007, the main features of life cycles in seven species of the tirbe Pogonini in the semi-desert Lake Elton region, Russia were studied. Six species, Cardiaderus chloroticus, Pogonus transfuga, P. meridianalis, Pogonistes rufoaeneus, P. angustus and P. convexicollis, are spring breeders. Among them, P. transfuga, P. meridionalis and P. rufoaeneus are iteroparous while C. chloroticus, P. angustus and P. convexicollis are semelparous. Th e life cycles of all these species are monovariant monovoltine with spring or spring-summer reproduction and adult (immature or both immature and spent) hibernation. However, the life cycle in C. chloroticus is possibly bivoltine. In contrast, P. cumanus is an autumn-breeding iteroparous species, its life cycle being monovariant monovoltine with obligate larval hibernation and obligate adult aestivation, parapause. Th is is a surprising fi nding, because previously all Pogonini were considered to be “spring breeders” or “imaginal hibernators”. Among the species studied, P. transfuga and P. meridionalis can be characterized as halophiles, because they live in habitats with moderate salinity.

  • A Key to the Genera of the Ground-Beetle Larvae (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of the Paleartic Region
    ISSN 0392-758 X MUSEO REGIONALE DI SCIENZE NATURALI A key to the genera of the Ground-beetle larvae (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of the Paleartic region Kirill V. Makarow ESTRATTO dal Bollettino del Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali - Torino Volume 12 - N. 1 - 1994 Boll. Mus. reg. Sci. nat. Torino Vol. 12 - N. 1 pp. 221-254 4-5-1994 K.irill V. MAKAR.ow* A key to the genera of the Ground-beetle larvae (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of the Palearctic region INTRODUCTION It is necessary to use the data about the preimaginal stages, especially lar­ vae, forthe successful decision of many taxonomic and ecological questions, but it's rather difficult, because of the little knowledge on the larvae biology and morphology as well as the absence of modern identification keys. So, van Emden's monograph (1942) appears hitherto the most complete generalizing work. The available keys for the USSR (Sharova, 1958, 1964) and Middle Europe carabid larvae (Hurka, 1978; Arndt, 1991) do not contain a number of larval descriptions, published from 1942-1991. Besides, the finemorphologi­ cal investigations ofY. Bousquet and H. Goulet (Goulet, 1979; Bousquet and Goulet, 1984) produced on new opportunities forlarval descriptions. Unfor­ tunately, this method is currently poorly used (Arndt, 1989a, b; Arndt and Hurka, 1990; Bousquet, 1985a, b; 1986; Hurka, 1986; Makarow and Shilenkov, 1991 etc.) and can not be considered as a basis of the practical keys. The present work contains a key for determination of the main Palearctic carabid groups and takes into account most of the works that followed van Emden's monograph.
