CEP 37200-000, Brazil. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]. Abstract Coarazuphium tapiaguassu sp. n. was collected in caves SL 30, SL 31 and SL 35 located in Curionópolis (Pará, Brazil). C. tapiaguassu is readily differentiated by the absence of setae on the dorsal surface of the head close to the posterior mar- gin, as the other species of the gens show one, two or tree pairs of setae. Taxa of Coarazuphium exhibit advanced troglo- biomorphic characters in comparison to other Brazilian cave beetles. Increased extra-optic sensory structures, presence of particular sensilla, and sensory and gustatory receptors are characters not detected under routine microscopy and thus re- quire ultrastructural methods for their study. Similar analyses are needed in other epigean Zuphiini species for a better interpretation of their functional meaning. Key words: Coarazuphium, ground beetle, cave dwelling, sensilla, antenna, mouthparts, legs Introduction Few Zuphiine species have been reported with adaptive features to the subterranean environment. To date, only four genera featuring troglobitic species have been described.

ZooKeys 315: 17–54. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.315.5293 Abstract Based on small samples (exemplars) analyzed with morphological methods, including detailed descrip- tions and illustrations, this study treats primarily the Zuphium genus-group in the Western Hemisphere, which comprises two precinctive genera: Coarazuphium Gnaspini, Vanin & Godoy, 1998 (type species Parazuphium tessai Godoy & Vanin, 1990) and Zuphioides gen. n. (type species Zuphium mexicanum Chaudoir, 1863). The genus Coarazuphium includes six troglobitic species from Brazilian caves, and one probably hypogaeic (troglophilic) species from the mountains of Oaxaca, in Mexico (C. whiteheadi, sp. n., type locality, ridge top, in western Oaxaca, Mexico, at 2164 m, 35 km north of San Pedro Juchatengo, 16.462N, 97.010W).

The ground beetle supertribe Zuphiitae in the southern Levant (Coleoptera, Carabidae). Spixiana 38 (2): 237-262. Based on the study of approximately 400 specimens, we give an overview of the systematics and taxonomy, distribution, dispersal power, and habitat preferences of the carabids belonging to the tribes Anthiini, Helluonini, Dryptini, and Zuphiini in the southern Levant (Egypt: Sinai, Israel and Jordan). We provide identification keys for the members of the given taxa in this region. Eleven species of the Zuphi- itae sensu Ober & Maddison (2008) have previously been published from the southern Levant.

  • Phylogenetic Diversification Patterns and Divergence Times in Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Harpalinae) Karen a Ober1*, Thomas N Heider1,2
    Ober and Heider BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:262 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/262 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Phylogenetic diversification patterns and divergence times in ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Harpalinae) Karen A Ober1*, Thomas N Heider1,2 Abstract Background: Harpalinae is a species rich clade of carabid beetles with many unusual morphological forms and ecological interactions. How this diversity evolved has been difficult to reconstruct, perhaps because harpalines underwent a rapid burst of diversification early in their evolutionary history. Here we investigate the tempo of evolution in harpalines using molecular divergence dating techniques and explore the rates of lineage accumulation in harpalines and their sister group. Results: According to molecular divergence date estimates, harpalines originated in the mid Cretaceous but did not diversify extensively until the late Cretaceous or early Paleogene about 32 million years after their origin. In a relatively small window of time, harpalines underwent rapid speciation. Harpalines have a relative high net diversification rate and increased cladogenesis in some regions of the clade. We did not see a significant decrease in diversification rate through time in the MCCR test, but a model of diversification with two shift points to lower diversification rates fit the harpaline lineage accumulation through time the best. Conclusions: Our results indicate harpalines are significantly more diverse and have higher diversification than their sistergroup. Instead of an immediate burst of explosive diversification, harpalines may have had a long “fuse” before major lineages diversified during the early Paleogene when other taxa such as mammals, birds, and some flowering plants were also rapidly diversifying.

E-mail:[email protected] 3Corresponding author Abstract Coarazuphium caatinga sp. n. occurs in limestone caves located in Campo Formoso municipality, in the Brazilian Caat- inga (Bahia, Brazil). The new species is close to C. formoso although they are morphologically distinct by the elytra sin- uosity, which is more pronounced in C. caatinga; the aedeagus is more tapered at the tip in this last species. Important traits found in C. caatinga are the variable size presented by the eyes, and the remarkable variability of body pigmentation among specimens; both traits do not seem to be correlated. Coarazuphium Gnaspini, P., Vanin, S.A. & Godoy, N.M., 1998, species exhibit advanced troglomorphic characters in comparison to other Brazilian cave beetles, as are increased extra- optic sensory structures, presence of particular sensilla, and sensory and gustatory receptors. These characters are not de- tected under routine microscopy and thus require ultrastructural methods for their study.

Sims Department of Entomology Smithsonian Institution Washington, D.C. 20560 U. S. A. Quaestiones Entomologicae 20:351-466 1984 ABSTRACT The fauna of the Greater Antilles was extensively sampled and studied by P.J. Darlington, Jr., beginning with his early field trips there in 1934 and ending with his paper on tropical island carabids in 1970. The Lesser Antilles and Bahamas have had far less attention; most islands have not yet been sampled. The following tribes are recorded within the geographic area covered by the present study, which includes the Greater and Lesser Antilles, Bahamas, and most smaller islands not on the continental shelf: Carabini; Megacephalini; "Cicindelini; Enceladini; Pseudomorphini; Scaritini; "Clivinini; Ozaenini; Brachinini; 'Rhysodini; Trechini; Pogonini; "Bembidiini; Morionini; *Pterostichini; Panagaeini; Callistini; Oodini; Licinini; 'Harpalini; Ctenodactylini; Perigonini; Lachnophorini; Cyclosomini; Masoreini; Pentagonicini; Odacanthini; 'Lebiini; *Zuphiini; Galeritini. The tribes whose names are marked with an asterisk each have more than a dozen species thus far recorded from the West Indies. The tribes which occur in this area are also extensively distributed in the world, and are well represented in the Neotropical Region.
