Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS. 140 LIST COLEOPTERA NORTH AMERICA. PREPARED FOR THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION. BY JOHN L. LECONTE, M.D. PART I. WASHINGTON: SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION: MARCH, 18G3.—APRIL, 1866. : — ADVERTISEMENT. A catalogue of the described Coleoptera of the United States, prepared by Dr. F. E. Melsheimer, and revised by Prof. Halde- man and Dr. LeConte, was published by the Smithsonian Insti- tution in 1853. This work furnished a reference to all the species described at the time, and known to the author or editors, but did not profess to indicate what were synonymes and what actual species. Dr. LeConte has since had in view a new and improved cata- logue, and by his own researches, and by reference to those of others, has endeavored to ascertain the proper synonymy of the North American Coleoptera, adding the new species described since the date of the Melsheimer Catalogue. The portion of the New List, now published, includes all the families treated of in Part I of the Classification of the Coleop- tera of North America, by Dr. LeConte, who will complete that work, with its companions, the "List," and the "Descriptions of New Species of North American Coleoptera," at the earliest practicable moment. Pages 1 published in March, 1863 50 10 in —49 were ; pp. April, 1866. JOSEPH HENRY, Secretary S. I. Smithsonian Institution, Washington, April, 1866. PHILADELPHIA COLLINS, PRINTEE. NOTICE. The present catalogue was commenced in 1861, and the portion now issued was, in great part, printed as early as June, 1862. The official duties of the author have since left him but little time for scientific research ; but believing that the catalogue, even in its present incomplete condition, will be of service to students, he has considered it proper not to retard its appearance any longer. He trusts that at a future period he may be able to complete the work, and in the meantime, invites contributions from all those who have it in their power to aid him in his object of making a personal examination of all the accessible species of Coleoptera found within the limits of the United States, for the purpose of presenting an authentic synonymical catalogue. The following marks are used in the catalogue : after a species indicates that it is unknown to the author, who is therefore not responsible for its value as a distinct species: signifies that || the name has been previously employed for another species: J de- notes erroneous determinations : Greek letters are employed to distinguish forms which are considered as races of the preceding species.

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract Increasing forest management resulting from bark beetle attack in British Columbia's forests has created a need to assess the impact of single species management on local insect biodiversity. In the Fort St James Forest District, in central British Columbia, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Franco) (Fd) grows at the northern limit of its North American range. At the district level the species is rare (representing 1% of timber stands), and in the early 1990's growing populations of the Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsuage Hopkins) threatened the loss of all mature Douglas-fir habitat in the district.

  • Coleoptera Carabidae) Diversity Patterns in Forest Habitats of High Conservation Value, Southern Bulgaria
    Biodiversity Journal, 2015, 6 (1): 341–352 MONOGRAPH Ground beetles (Coleoptera Carabidae) diversity patterns in forest habitats of high conservation value, Southern Bulgaria Rumyana Kostova Sofia University, Faculty of Biology, Department of Zoology and Anthropology, 8 “DraganTzankov” blvd., Sofia 1164, Bulgaria; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The study presents a comparison between the diversity of the carabid beetles taxocoenoses and their spatial distribution in different forest types of high conservation value in Strandzha (8 sites), the Rhodopes (4 sites) and Belasitsa (6 sites) mountains. The diversity indices have demonstrated the highest species richness and the highest diversity values in the riverside sites of Strandzha Mountain. The lowest species richness has been found in the tertiary relict forest of oriental beech with undergrowth of rhododendron (Strandzha Mountain) and in the century- old sweet chestnut forest (Belasitsa Mountain). The lowest values of diversity and evenness have been found in the beech forest sites in Strandzha and the Rhodopes due to the prevalence of the Aptinus species. This low diversity is a natural condition for the studied sites. The classification of the ground beetles complexes from the studied sites by similarity indices and TWINSPAN has been made. A high level of dissimilarity among the sites has been found, showing unique species composition and abundance models in each site. Carabid beetles taxocoenoses in the forests of Strandzha Mountain have shown a low similarity level by species composition and abundance even in the range of the same mountain. Indicator species have been shown. The ordination of the carabid complexes has showed that the sites have been distributed continuously along two significant gradients.

    SYLLABUS FOR CLASSICS 140 (#20821) INTRODUCTION TO CLASSICS Fall 2014 Semester, San Diego State University Brett Robbins, PhD., Department of Classics & Humanities Class Hours: M/W 2-3:15 PM, Classroom: PSFA-310 Office Hours (AL-672): MW 12:30-1:45 PM (or by appointment) Phone: 805-444-2393, E-Mail: [email protected] 1) COURSE DESCRIPTION If you’re curious about your own society, you should also be curious about the ancient Greeks and Romans, because they were the inventors of western culture and you should be curious about where so much of what you take for granted comes from. It’s inherently pleasurable to trace so much of what we think and do today to their roots in ancient Greece and Rome, to make sense of their world and our own world through their world and of both worlds through their interrelationships with each other. That is, I believe, what is most special about the study of antiquity: we find, if we look closely, so many firsts in western culture: the first epic and lyric poems, the first plays, the first theaters, the first histories, even the first cinema (huh?). And through the literature of ancient Greece and Rome we encounter the first expression of certain ideas like community, democracy, and imperialism and of certain emotions like courage, curiosity, and love. If tracing things back to their roots, their origins in the past, excites you, you are in the right place, because that is what I am primarily interested in: getting back to the roots. There is more.

  • (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from Madeira Island
    New data on the spatial distribution of endemic ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from Madeira Island MÁRIO BOIEIRO, MAB STUDY GROUP* & ARTUR R.M. SERRANO Boieiro, M., MAB Study Group & A.R.M. Serrano (in press). New data on the spatial distribution of endemic ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from Madeira Island. Arquipelago. Life and Marine Sciences 29: 15-23. Based on standardised sampling methods covering a large fraction of native forest on Ma- deira Island, new distribution data is reported for 33 species of endemic ground beetles. Most of these species have been found in new localities and their distribution range is now better known. Dromius angustus alutaceus Wollaston, 1857 was "rediscovered" after more than fifty years since the last known record and two rare Philorhizus species (P. conicipen- nis (Fauvel, 1905) and P. vieirai Mateu, 1957) were also located. Furthermore, two other arboreal endemics (Olisthopus ericae Wollaston, 1854 and O. maderensis Wollaston, 1854) were recorded from many new localities. This work represents a considerable improvement of the knowledge on the distribution of ground beetle species endemic to Madeira, hence contributing to future management plans targeting the conservation of endemic biota.

New data from known or recently investigated localities are presented and comparisons made with faunas from equivalent latitudes in Asia and Greenland. Many of the Canadian sites belong to the Beaufort Formation, a prime source of late Tertiary plant and insect fossils. But new sites are continually being discovered and studied and among the most informative of these are several from the high terrace gravel on Ellesmere Island. One Ellesmere Island locality, known informally as the “Beaver Peat” contains spectacularly well preserved plant and arthropod fossils, and is the only Pliocene site in Arctic North America to yield a variety of vertebrate fossils. Like some of the other “keystone” localities discussed here, it promises to be important for dating and correlation as well as for documenting high Arctic climatic and environmental conditions during the Pliocene.
