Staphylinoidea, Staphylinidae (Coleoptera)* SYSTEMATIC CATALOGUE OF THE ENTOMOFAUNA OF THE MADEIRA ARCHIPELAGO AND SELVAGENS ISLANDS STAPHYLINOIDEA, STAPHYLINIDAE (COLEOPTERA)* Vol. II, Part 2 1 2 By VOLKER ASSING & MICHAEL SCHÜLKE With 59 figures ABSTRACT. Based on a revision of the relevant taxonomic and faunistic literature, as well as of previously published and unpublished material, a critical updated catalogue of the Staphylinidae of Madeira and the Selvagens is compiled. 25 species are deleted from the list of Madeiran Staphylinidae, 10 species are recorded from the archipelago for the first time. Seven new synonymies are proposed: Stenus brunneus Puthz, 1978 = S. maderensis Puthz, 1980, syn. n.; Pseudomedon obscurellus (Erichson, 1840) = Lithocharis brevipes Wollaston, 1860, syn. n.; Ocypus pedemontanus (Müller, 1924) = Staphylinus caroli Jarrige, 1943, syn. n.; Tasgius winkleri (Bernhauer, 1906) = Staphylinus maderae Jarrige, 1943, syn. n.; Quedius nigriceps Kraatz, 1857 = Q. nigriceps maderensis Smetana, 1963, syn. n.; Atheta immucronata Pace, 1999 = A. pseudolaticollis Erber & Hinterseher, 1992, syn. n., = A. atlantidum Smetana, 2004, syn. n. For all the species recorded from the archipelagos, the references are listed, additional (i. e. previously unpublished) records, if available, are reported, the distribution in the Atlantic Islands and elsewhere is summarised, and bionomic data are compiled. Disregarding 5 names of doubtful taxonomic status, a total of 210 species and subspecies are reported from the Madeiras, 198 of them from Madeira proper, 52 from Porto Santo, and 11 from the Desertas. Four species, two of them endemic, are recorded from the Selvagens. A zoogeographic analysis revealed that the Madeiran staphylinid fauna is characterised by a high proportion (30%) of endemic species; the remainder is composed mainly of species with West Palaearctic (25%), Cosmopolitan (18%), Holarctic (11%), Palaearctic (4%), and Western Mediterranean (4%) distributions. 9% have not been recorded again since 1900, suggesting that their (Madeiran) populations may have gone extinct. The distributions of various Madeiran endemics are mapped. The occurrence, distributions, and wing development of the species present in the archipelagos are summarised in a checklist. KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Madeira, Selvagens, islands, taxonomy, catalogue, new synonyms, new records, endemism. * We dedicate this contribution to our dear friend and colleague, the late Dieter Erber, in gratitude for his inspiration and for his devotion to the study of the Coleoptera of the Atlantic Islands. 1 Gabelsbergerstr. 2, D-30163 Hannover, Germany.

Quatro espécies, duas das quais endémicas, são referidas para as Selvagens. Uma análise zoogeográfica revelou que a fauna de Staphylinidae da Madeira é caracterizada por uma elevada proporção (30%) de espécies endémicas, sendo o restante composto por espécies de distribuição Oeste – Paleárctica (25%), Cosmopolita (18%), Holárctica (11%), Paleárctica (4%), e Oeste – Mediterrânea 4%. 9% das espécies não voltaram a ser encontradas desde 1900, o que sugere que as suas populações (madeirenses) podem ter-se extinguido.

No. XI INTRODUCTION Insects were first reported from Madeira in the middle of the 19th century. The real starting point for the study of Madeiran beetles is the year 1847 when T. V. Wollaston organised his first trip to the archipelago. During the period from 1847 to 1871 he visited the islands seven times, each time for some months. In several longer papers (WOLLASTON, 1854, 1857, 1865, 1871A) and numerous shorter contributions he provided a synopsis of the Madeiran Coleoptera as a whole, including the Staphylinidae, based on material collected by himself as well as by Bewicke, Lowe, Moniz, Anderson, Paiva, Park and others. The Wollaston collection is today divided into three major fractions housed at the Natural History Museum, London, the Hope Museum, Oxford, and the collection of the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco (KAVANAUGH, 1979). Additional material, including types, is deposited in various other collections all over the world, e. g. in the collections of the Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, Müncheberg. At the turn of the century, FAUVEL (1897A, B) published catalogues of the Staphylinidae of Madeira, Porto Santo, the Desertas, and the Selvagens, which he subsequently included in the fourth and fifth editions of his catalogue of the Staphylinidae of North Africa (FAUVEL, 1897C, 1902). In the 20th century, the study of Madeiran Staphylinidae was continued mainly through

Sobrinho Keywords Universidade da Madeira and Centro de Universidade da Madeira and Centro de Public Outreach, Informal Education, Astronomia e Astrofísica da Universidade Astronomia e Astrofísica da Universidade de Exhibitions, Non-traditional Events de Lisboa, Portugal Lisboa, Portugal [email protected] [email protected] Summary The outreach programme Semanas da Astronomia (Astronomy Weeks) is held in late spring or summer on the island of Madeira, Portugal. This programme has been attracting enough interest to be mentioned in the regional press/TV/radio every year and is now, without doubt, the astronomical highlight of the year on Madeira. We believe that this programme is a good case study for showing how to attract the general public to astronomy in a small (population 250 000, area 900 km2) and fairly isolated place such as Madeira. Our Astronomy Weeks have been different each year and have so far included exhibitions, courses, talks, a forum, documentaries, observing sessions (some with blackouts), music and an astro party. These efforts may contribute towards putting Madeira on the map with respect to observational astronomy, and have also contributed to the planned installation of two observatories in the island. The relevance of the Astronomy the trails known as the Levada Walks, so Weeks for Madeira that tourism is, by far, the main industry on Madeira. As a natural consequence, The Semanas da Astronomia began in many (nature) themed Festas (festivals) 2001. The success of the programme has now take place throughout the year.

Good1 and Roy Anderson2 1Glinny, Riverstick, Co. Cork, Republic of Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 21 Belvoirview Park, Belfast BT8 7BL, Northern Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> Abstract Since the 1997 Irish Coleoptera – a revised and annotated list, 59 species of Staphylinidae have been added to the Irish list, 11 species confirmed, a number have been deleted or require to be deleted, and the status of some species and names require correction. Notes are provided on the deletion, correction or status of 63 species, and a revised check-list of 710 species is provided with a generic index. Species listed, or not listed, as Irish in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera (2nd edition), in comparison with this list, are discussed. The Irish status of Gabrius sexualis Smetana, 1954 is questioned, although it is retained on the list awaiting further investgation. Key words: Staphylinidae, check-list, Irish Coleoptera, Gabrius sexualis. Introduction The Staphylinidae (rove-beetles) comprise the largest family of beetles in Ireland (with 621 species originally recorded by Anderson, Nash and O’Connor (1997)) and in the world (with 55,440 species cited by Grebennikov and Newton (2009)). Since the publication in 1997 of Irish Coleoptera - a revised and annotated list by Anderson, Nash and O’Connor, there have been a large number of additions (59 species), confirmation of the presence of several species based on doubtful old records, a number of deletions and corrections, and significant nomenclatural and taxonomic changes to the list of Irish Staphylinidae.

Among them four are new to Italy: Atheta alpigrada, A. reissi, Schistoglossa pseudogemina and Cypha carinthiaca. They are discussed with further 19 species considered relevant for rarity and geographic distribution. The biogeographic analysis shows a prevalence of widely distributed species. Among those with restricted distribution some are characteristic for the Rhaetian Alps, others point out the importance of the Adige river valley as a biogeographic barrier. Some southern Keywords: Staphylinidae, species occur in thermophilous forests and in wetlands. The presence of rare species faunistics, new records, Alps, in protected areas, mostly in “Sites of Community Importance”, is evidenced. Trentino, Italy Introduction The aim of this work is the publication of a large amount of data on rove beetles (Sta- phylinidae), the largest family of Coleoptera (more than 60,000 species described up to date), collected by the author in Val di Non since the sixties of the past century. Year after year, I tried to sample every kind of macro- and microhabitat occurring in that area, with the aim of representing the diversity in this particular valley, which connects the Rhaetian and Dolomitic areas from west to east, and the metamorphic Central Alps and the carbonatic Prealps from north to south.

TGTTENHAM COLEOPTERA Family STAPHYLINIDAE By THE REV. C. E. TOTTENHAM. INTRODUCTORY. THE family Staphylinid.ae contains in the British Isles about 950 species, that is to say about one-quarter of the total number of Coleoptera occurring in the country. It is one of the most neglected families and consequently offers great scope for those who wish to do some useful work in addition to just forming a collection. The beginner can feel that he can immediately accomplish something. Records of species from all districts are badly needed; large numbers of even the commonest species have never been fully described ; the description, with figures, of the aedeagus in the male and, where it exists, of the spermatheca in the female, yet remains to be done in the case of more than half of the British species ; a comparative study of the apical abdominal segments of genera and species is an important task yet to be undertaken; many of the larvae have never been described and the life histories and habits of many species are as yet unknown.
