Pour ce faire, nous avons réalisé un inventaire rigoureux et utilisé un protocole reproductible de piégeage des coléoptères saproxyliques. Ce dernier s’est déroulé sur deux années, en 2014 et 2015. Pour les besoins de cette étude, nous avons effectué 10 jours de terrain et nous avons placé, sur le terrain, 30 pièges interception (en 2014 et 2015), 30 pièges « Barber » (en 2014) et deux pièges à fosses avec vitre ainsi qu’une tente Malaise en 2015. Au cours de cet inventaire, nous avons piégé 7772 spécimens de coléoptères et avons pu inventorier 349 espèces de coléoptères dont 287 espèces de coléoptères saproxyliques. Parmi elles, nous avons observé 60 espèces de coléoptères saproxyliques bioindicatrices de qualité des forêts françaises (Brustel, 2004). De même, Dromaeolus barnabita (Villa, 1837), Biphyllus lunatus (Fabricius, 1787), Mycetophagus decempunctatus Fabricius, 1801 et Psoa dubia (Rossi, 1792) ont été recensés et sont nouveaux pour le département de l’Ardèche. L ’Aptinus pyrenaeus Dejean, 1825 atteint quant à lui, sur le site de Châteaubourg sa limite d’aire de répartition septentrionale. Tous ces résultats sont très intéressants et assez riches compte tenu du fait que les peuplements arborés sur les sites d’étude sont relativement jeunes et récents. Cette richesse et diversité entomologique s’expliquent par plusieurs facteurs. Le premier vient d’une mosaïque de milieu alternant zone ouverte de prairie et de pelouses avec des milieux forestiers plus fermés. Associé à cette mosaïque, on retrouve sur le site naturel Crussol-Soyons une diversité en essences d’arbres. Effectivement, outre la chênaie (verte ou pubescente) qui est bien présente sur le site, on a aussi des peuplements de résineux (pins essentiellement) et des arbres à bois tendre (peupliers, saules) dans la zone de ripisylve des Goules sur Châteaubourg. Associé à cette diversité en biotope, on retrouve logiquement une diversité entomologique qui lui est directement inféodée. La présence de quelques arbres matures, sur le site, permet à des espèces de coléoptères rares et patrimoniaux d’être présentes. De même, conjointement, le fait que le site soit jouxté par de vastes zones forestières et par la ripisylve du Rhône permet un flux d’insectes alimentant le site de Crussol-Soyons. On a donc une « trame verte et bleu » qui enrichi le site de Crussol- Soyons. Concernant la gestion du site, pour maintenir et stimuler la richesse entomologique, nous recommandons de maintenir l’alternance milieux ouverts milieux fermés avec du pâturage maitrisé et dirigé. Ceci, soit avec des ânes tels que cela est le cas actuellement sur Crussol ou alors avec des ovins et caprins. De même, comme nous l’avons vu le peuplement arboré sur le site est relativement jeune. Pour stimuler la biodiversité entomologique, il est bien évident qu’il faudrait laisser vieillir les arbres et les divers peuplements. Inventaire des coléoptères sur le site Crussol-Soyons (07) 4 Rapport final septembre 2015 Entomologiste Calmont B., S.H.N.A.O Introduction Dans le cadre d’une mission de connaissance, la Communauté de communes Rhône Crussol a confié à la Société d’Histoire naturelle Alcide-d’Orbigny, l’étude des coléoptères sur les massifs de Châteaubourg, Crussol et Soyons (07). Le site Châteaubourg, Crussol et Soyons est à la fois un site Natura 2000 et un Espace Naturel Sensible. Ce site, présentant des massifs arborés variés, il a donc été décidé d’étudier les coléoptères saproxyliques qui sont d’excellents bioindicateurs pour caractériser la naturalité des forêts, des bois, bocages et ripisylves. Pour la réalisation de cet inventaire, nous avons décidé de réaliser un protocole de piégeage rigoureux et reproductible et de l’associer à des prospections de terrain. Parallèlement, de nombreuses larves, du terreau et divers types de bois ont été mis en élevage pour compléter cet inventaire. De même, des chasses nocturnes avec un groupe électrogène et une lampe U.V. ont été réalisées. Ce rapport constitue le rapport final d’une étude qui se déroule sur deux années, de 2014 à 2015. Dans ce dernier, nous présenterons, les sites d’étude, les différentes techniques d’investigation et de piégeage employées au cours de l’inventaire. De même, nous donnerons une liste de toutes les espèces de coléoptère saproxyliques observés. Pour chacune des espèces bioindicatrices et patrimoniales rencontrées, nous donnerons une brève monographie illustrée ainsi qu’une cartographie précise (coordonnées GPS)

Our objective was to analyze the spatial patterns of arthropod assemblages along a gradient of different stabilization levels, which represents the different stages of dune stabilization - from the shifting crest of the dune to the stabilized crusted interdune. The study was carried out at the sand dunes of the northwestern Negev in Israel. Data was collected using dry pitfall traps over two consecutive years during the spring along northern windward aspects.

Pseudocistela hajeki sp. nov. from Iran is described and illustrated, and a key to the West Palaearctic species of the genus Pseudocistela Crotch, 1873 is provided. Pseudocistela ceramboides serrata (Chevrolat, 1844), syn. nov., is a new synonym of P. ceramboides (Linnaeus, 1758). Key words. Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae, Alleculinae, Pseudocistela, taxonomy, new species, new synonymy, key, Iran, Palaearctic Region Introduction LINNAEUS (1758) described the fi rst Palaearctic species of the genus Pseudocistela Crotch, 1873 as Chrysomela ceramboides. Pseudocistela species differ from species of other similar West Palaearctic genera of the subtribe Gonoderina Seidlitz, 1896 (i.e. Copistethus Seidlitz, 1890, Cornucistela Campbell, 1980, Gonodera Mulsant, 1856, Isomira Mulsant 1856) mainly in antennae reaching up to half of body length, antennomeres 4–10 longer than wide, broadest at apex and distinctly serrate, pronotum clearly broadest at base and regularly narrowing to apex in outline. NOVÁK & PETTERSSON (2008) listed 10 species from the Palaearctic Region. Six species, Pseudocistela haagi Harold, 1878, P. muhldorfi Borchmann, 1930, P. pamirica Plavilshchikov, 1927, P. rubrofl ava (Fairmaire, 1878), P. semirubra Pic, 1910, and P. watanabei Kôno, 1934 are from the eastern parts of the Palaearctic Region. Pseudocistela impressicollis (Chevrolat, 1873) from Syria was described in Cistela Geoffroy, 1762.
