A Revision of the Genus Lycoperdina (Coleoptera: Endomychidae) from Japan Japanese Journal of Systematic Entomology, 23 (1): 103–112. June 15, 2017. A Revision of the Genus Lycoperdina (Coleoptera: Endomychidae) from Japan Koichi SOGOH and Hiroyuki YOSHITOMI Entomological Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Ehime University, Tarumi 3-5-7, Matsuyama, 790-8566 Japan Abstract The Japanese species of the genus Lycoperdina is revised. Three previously known species are redescribed: Lycoperdina castaneipennis Gorham, 1874, Lycoperdina dux Gorham, 1873 and Lycoperdina mandarinea Gerstaecker, 1858, and one new spe- cies is described: Lycoperdina hiranoi sp. nov. from Honshu and Hokkaido. The distributional pattern of Japanese species is briefly discussed. Introduction Systematics The genus Lycoperdina Latreille, 1807 belongs to the Genus Lycoperdina Latreille, 1807 subfamily Lycoperdininae Redtenbacher, 1844 (Tomaszewska, 2005), and contains 28 species: 18 from the Palearctic, 9 from Lycoperdina Latreille, 1807: 73 (Type species: Galleruca the Ethiopian, and 1 from the Nearctic Regions (Shockley et bovistae Fabricius, 1792); Tomaszewska, 2005: 47. Golgia Mulsant, 1846: 20 (Type species: Silpha succincta al., 2009). Linnaeus, 1767). From Japan, three species have been recorded. First report Lycoperdinodes Arrow, 1923: 485 [replacement name for of the genus from Japan was Gorham (1873), he described Lycoperdinella Arrow, 1920]. Lycoperdina dux from Hyogo, and recorded L. mandarinea Lycoperdinella Arrow, 1920: 23 [homonym Lycoperdinella from Nagasaki. Subsequently Gorham (1874) described L. Champion, 1913] (Type species: Lycoperdinella morosa castaneipennis from Hyogo. In addition Gorham (1887) and Arrow, 1920). Hirano (2011) recognized the presence of an undescribed Falsoylaia Pic, 1945: 10 (Type species: Falsoylaia species from Hokkaido and Honshu. obscuresuturalis Pic, 1945).

Throughout Wisconsin sampling sites were selected based on habitat type and sampling history. Wisconsin endomychids were hand collected from fungi and under tree bark; successful trapping methods included cantharidin- baited pitfall traps, flight intercept traps, and Lindgren funnel traps. Examina- tion of literature records, museum and private collections, and field research yielded 10 species, three of which are new state records. Two dubious records, Epipocus unicolor Horn and Stenotarsus hispidus (Herbst), could not be con- firmed.

This study is the most comprehensive analysis of cucujoid taxa to date, with DNA sequence data sampled from eight genes (four nuclear, four mitochondrial) for 384 coleopteran taxa, including exemplars of 35 (of 37) families and 289 genera of Cucujoidea. Maximum-likelihood analyses of these data present many significant relationships, some proposed previously and some novel.

  • Phylogenetic Systematics of the Cerylonid Series of Cucujoidea
    PHYLOGENETIC SYSTEMATICS OF THE CERYLONID SERIES OF CUCUJOIDEA (COLEOPTERA) by JAMES A. ROBERTSON (Under the Direction of Joseph V. McHugh) ABSTRACT We conduct a large-scale phylogenetic investigation of the Cerylonid Series (C.S.) of Cucujoidea, a diverse group of cucujoid beetles comprising 9,600 species classified in eight families, using morphological data (76 taxa ! 147 adult and larval characters), molecular data (341 taxa ! 9 genes: 18S, 28S, H3, 12S, 16S, COI, COII, CAD and ArgK) and a combination of the two datasets. In total, our analyses suggest the following: the C.S. is a monophyletic group based on both morphological and molecular evidence; the superfamily Cucujoidea is paraphyletic with respect to the remaining superfamilies in the series Cucujiformia; the C.S. represents a unique clade within Cucujiformia and should be recognized as its own supferfamily, Coccinelloidea, within the series; Byturidae and Biphyllidae should be transferred to Cleroidea; the C.S. families Corylophidae, Coccinellidae, Latridiidae, and Discolomatidae, are monophyletic; Cerylonidae, Endomychidae, and Bothrideridae are paraphyletic. Bothrideridae is split into two distinct families comprising the former Bothriderinae (as Bothrideridae) and the other including the remaining subfamilies (as Teredidae); the cerylonid subfamily Euxestinae is included within Teredidae; the new concept of Cerylonidae includes the following subfamilies: Ceryloninae, Ostomopsinae, Murmidiinae, Discolomatinae and Loeblioryloninae (inserte sedis); the status of the putative

Two new species of lycoperdinine Endomychidae from Philippines, Mindanao, are described and illustrated. These are a new species of Amphisternus Germar, 1843: Amphisternus alberti sp. nov., and a new species of Gerstaeckerus Tomaszewska, 2005: Gerstaeckerus rufi plagiatus sp. nov. Both species belong to Amphisternus-group of Lycoperdininae. The keys to the species of Amphister- nus and Gerstaeckerus (= Engonius Gerstaecker, 1857) originally proposed by Strohecker are modi¿ ed and updated. Key words. Coleoptera, Cucujoidea, Endomychidae, Lycoperdininae, new species, key to species, taxonomy, Philippines, Oriental Region Introduction The subfamily Lycoperdininae is the largest group of the primarily mycophagous cucujoid family Endomychidae (SHOCKLEY et al. 2009a,b). It contains over 700 described species world- wide and is regarded as well-de¿ ned and monophyletic. The monophyly of this subfamily was con¿ rmed by phylogenetic analyses based on morphology (TOMASZEWSKA 2000, 2005) and on molecular markers (ROBERTSON et al. 2008). TOMASZEWSKA (2005) recognized 38 genera divided into ¿ ve generic groups in Lycoper- dininae. Since then ¿ ve new genera of Lycoperdininae have been described: two, Stroheckeria Tomaszewska, 2006 and Humerus Chang & Ren, 2013, from the Oriental Region (TOMAS- ZEWSKA 2006, CHANG & REN 2013), and three, Hylaperdina Tomaszewska, 2012, Chileanus Tomaszewska, 2012, and Atopomychus Tomaszewska & Szawaryn, 2013, from the Neotropical Region (TOMASZEWSKA 2012, TOMASZEWSKA & SZAWARYN 2013).

A Preliminary, Annotated List of Beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera) from the UW-Milwaukee Field Station Daniel K. Young Department of Entomology, University of Wisconsin-Madison [email protected] Abstract: Coleoptera, the beetles, account for nearly 25% of all known animal species, and nearly 18% of all described species of life on the planet. Their species richness is equal to the number of all plant species in the world and six times the number of all vertebrate species. They are found almost everywhere, yet many minute or cryptic species go virtually un-noticed even by trained naturalists. Little wonder, then, that such a dominant group might pass through time relatively unknown to most naturalists, hobbyists, and even entomologists; even an elementary comprehension of the beetle fauna of our own region has not been attempted. A single, fragmentary and incomplete list of beetle species was published for Wisconsin in the late 1800’s; the last three words of the final entry merely say, “to be continued.” The present, preliminary, survey chronicles nothing more than a benchmark, a definitive starting point from which to build.
