21 Polyphaga III.Pages Characters for Identifying Common Families of Coleoptera POLYPHAGA, PART 3 [Chrysomeloidea, Curculionoidea] Chrysomeloidea Cerambycidae -Long-horned Beetles. Characteristics - Antennae long, often very long, at least extending beyond base of pronotum (except short in Parandrinae); eyes usually notched, with base of antenna in notch; tarsi “apparently” 4-4-4 (that is, 3rd tarsal segment expanded, concealing true, but very small, 4th segment) (except 5-5-5 in Parandrinae). Biology: Large family; > 1000 species U.S. All phytophagous, most adults feed on flowers, larvae wood boring - round head borers. Many species destructive to trees, usually weakened or dying, or fresh cut logs. Many stridulate, may hear squeaking sound when handled. Females lay eggs in crevices Cerambycidae, Parandrinae - Aberrant Long-horned Beetles. Characteristics - see key below; also, aberrant long-horned beetles resemble stag beetles more than other longhorns. Photos: Parandra glabra from Costa Rica. Biology: Adults are active at night, when females oviposit on exposed tree trunks, they can be “hunted” with flashlights; extensive borings by larvae cause windfalls. Cerambycidae, Prioninae - Tooth-necked Long-horned Beetles. Characteristics - see key below. Photos: Prionus pocularis from Missisippi and a large tropical species from Peru, Macrodontia cervicornis. Biology: Larval prionines feed on roots of trees and their borings can cause considerable damage. They move from root to root through the ground. !1 Cerambycidae, Lamiinae - Flat-faced Long-horned Beetles. Characteristics - see key below; also notice the vertical “flat face” and the pointed maxillary palps and body with hairs forming distinctive color patterns. Photos: The pine sawyer, Monochamus scutellatus (specimen from Michigan) is a serious best of dying and felled pine and other conifers. Plectrodera scalator, the cottonwood borer. Tetraopes femoratus from Minnesota, a species that feeds on milkweed. Acrocinus longimanus, the Harlequin beetle, a large Neotropical species. Biology: Very varied, feeding as larvae in a wide variety of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants; many are pests. Cerambycidae, Lepturinae - Flower Long-horned Beetles. Characteristics - see key below; also notice the bell-shaped pronutum, the “broad’shouldered” appearance of the elytra, and the last maxillary palp segment is blunt at the tip, not pointed. Photos: Cosmosalia chrysocoma, Desmocerus palliatus, and Typocerus velutinus. Biology: Adults are usually found feeding on flowers and many have narrow fore-bodies for getting to the pollen and floral nectaries; they are good fliers. Larvae bore in trees and other woody plants. !2 Cerambycidae, Cerambycinae - Round Necked Long-horned Beetles Characteristics - see key below; also the pronotum is rounded and the 5th maxillary palp segment is pointed. Photos: Megacyllene robiniae, the locust borer. Two striking Brazilian species, Compsocerus violaceus and Monochroma aurosum. Biology: This is the largest subfamily and include some very striking beetles. Larvae feed in a wide variety of woody plants. Key to Selected Subfamilies of Cerambycidae (from Tripplehorn and Johnson) 1. Tarsi 5-5-5; antennae short, usually not reaching base of pronotum .....................................................................................................................Parandrinae Tarsi “apparently” 4-4-4 (that is, 3rd tarsal segment expanded, concealing true 4th segment); antennae long to very long, extending beyond base of pronotum .................2 2. Head vertical or retracted; genal margin (“cheeks”) always directed posteriorly .............. ..........................................................................................................................Lamiinae Head inclined anteriorly or subvertical; genal margin never directed posteriorly ............3 3. Pronotum with raised, often toothed, lateral margins; large brown species .....Prioninae Pronotum without raised lateral margins; size and color variable ...................................4 4. Stridulatory plate of mesonotum large, undivided ....................................Cerambycinae Stridulatory plate of mesonotum divided by median longitudinal stripe; pronotum bell- shaped ............................................................................................................Lepturinae !3 Chrysomelidae - Characteristics - Diverse family, difficult to characterize, generally with filiform antennae, but not nearly as long as in Cerambycidae and with “apparently” 4-4-4 tarsal formula (as in long-horns, 3rd tarsal segment expanded, concealing true 4th segment); eyes usually not notched. Often more easily identifiable by subfamily. Biology:Large family (1700 spp., 195 genera in N Amer alone; 38,000 and 2500 respectively in the world), closely related to Cerambycidae. Often very brightly colored, metallic, diverse shapes, but generally oval. All phytophagous on all plant parts, serious pests of cultivated plants, including vegetables, potato - “Colorado potato beetle,” probably best known, asparagus, cucumbers, fruits, grapes, & ornamentals, etc. Chrysomelidae, Bruchinae - Seed beetles. Characteristics - shape distinctive, body egg-shaped, eyes notched, short, broad “beak”, head concealed from above, hind femur enlarged, often with teeth on inner margin. Note: Once a separate family, Burchidae, now considered a subfamily of chrysomelids. Photos: The cosmopolitan bean weevil, Acanthoscelides obtectus, is a serious pest of stored beans and peas (example of damage). Biology: larvae feed in seeds of various plants, especially the bean family, Leguminoceae. Adults can be found on flowers. Chrysomelidae, “Chlamisinae” - Warty Leaf Beetles. Characteristics - Distinctive - with corse warts and fine striations, often resemble caterpillar frass; elytral suture serrate. Photos: Neochlamisus eubati. Biology: Larvae live in protective cases of frass and feed as herbivores on leaves. Chrysomelidae, Cryptocephalinae - Cylindrical Leaf Beetles. Characteristics - head is disklike and can be withdrawn into pronotum. Photos: Cryptocephalus leucomelas. Biology: Adults and larvae occur on foliage, fruit, or flowers. Many have distinctive color patterns. !4 Chrysomelidae, Chrysomelinae - Broad-bodied Leaf Beetles. Characteristics - Most are oval to nearly circular and highly convex body shape,but some are more elongate-robust; the 3rd tarsal segment is not as deeply bilobed as in some subfamilies. Photos: Caligrapha scalaris and Leptinotarsa decimlineata, dorsal and frontal views. Biology: Larvae and adults feed on foliage and flowers, includes the Colorado Potato beetles and other bests. Chrysomelidae, Donaciinae - Long-horned or Aquatic Leaf Beetles Characteristics - Confused with long-horns as the antennae are long, but pronotum lacks lateral margins; hind legs enlarged; dark, metallic bronze or green in color. Photos: Donacia piscutrix. Biology: larvae are aquatic and feed in stems of submerged and emergent aquatic plants, especially waterlilies in Minnesota. The larvae have terminal spiracles tipped with a spine to pierce the plant tissue to extract oxygen. Adults have a coating of fine hairs on the ventral surface to trap air used when the female crawls under water to lay eggs; adults are very common on the surface of waterlilies in the summer and are fast, agile fliers. Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae - Skeletonizing Leaf Beetles. Characteristics - Head clearly visible from above, pronotum slightly narrower at base than elytra and with a distinct lateral ridge; elytra broadest at rear. Photos: Diabrotica longicornis, Corn Root Worm, and Diabrotica undecimpunctata, Spotted Cucumber Beetle. Biology: Includes some major agricultural pests, such as the Corn Root Worm, that feeds on corn silk and leaves as adults and roots as larvae. Others feed as adults and larvae on leaves, often “skeletonizing” the leaf. !5 Chrysomelidae, “Alticinae” - Flea Beetles. Characteristics - hind femora enlarged, used for jumping. Photos: Altica bimarginata. Biology: Adults feed on leaves, often leaving tiny, shot-hole damage; larvae feed on roots. Includes many pestiferous species, e.g. Corn Flea Beetle, Sweet Potato Flea Beetle, Grape Flea Beetle. Because they feed on foliage and roots, many species are used in biological control of weeds in this and other subfamilies of leaf beetles. Chrysomelidae, “Hispinae" - Leaf-mining Leaf Beetles. Characteristics - Head points backward, mouthparts very small; elytra with distinct ridges and rows of punctures, Photos: Baliosus nervosus. Biology: Larvae mine leaves and can cause defoliation, but the tree is generally not harmed. Chrysomelidae, “Cassidinae” - Tortoise Beetles. Characteristics - Shape very distinctive, circular or oval, with sides of body expanded laterally, covering head and appendages form above. Often brilliant metallic/iridescent in color. Photos: Deloyala guttata, Acromis spiniflex, and Agenyea caedamadens. Biology: larvae and adults feed on foliage, commonly of the morning glory family. Larvae are flat and spiny, with a forked appendage at the end of the body to which they attach frass, debris, etc. They flick this ammunition at predators. Some females engage in parental care. !6 NOTE: Chrysomelid sub-familial classification has been revised over the last several years. For the subfamilies above, the new classification is as follows (note: there are several other subfamilies, not on our list). OLD NEW Chrysomelidae Chrysomelidae Donaciinae Donaciinae Chlamisinae Cryptocephalinae, Fulcidacini

  • Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae: Cassidini)
    Genus Vol. 20(2): 341-347 Wrocław, 15 VII 2009 Two new species of Charidotella WEISE with black dorsal pattern (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae: Cassidini) LECH BOROWIEC Department of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Taxonomy, Zoological Institute, University of Wrocław, Przybyszewskiego 63/77, 51-148 Wrocław, Poland, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Two new species of Charidotella s. str. are described: Charidotella atromarginata from Mexico and Charidotella nigripennis from Venezuela. Both belong to the group of species with a black pattern on dorsum. Key words: entomology, taxonomy, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae, Cassidini, Chari- dotella, new species, Mexico, Venezuela. InTroDUCTIon The genus Charidotella was proposed by WEISE (1896) for Cassida zona FabRICIUS, 1801, a species widespread in the northern part of South America. Many neotropical species described in the genera Coptocycla and Metriona were transferred subse- quently to the genus Charidotella. First catalogue of the genus, diagnostic characters and division into subgenera was proposed by BOROWIEC (1989). He listed 91 species, including three described as new. Later, one new species in the subgenus Metrionella was described by BOROWIEC (1995) and one species added to the genus in the World Catalogue of Cassidinae (BOROWIEC 1999). After the catalogue five new species were described (BOROWIEC 2002, 2004, 2007; MAIA and BUZZI 2005) thus actually the genus Charidotella comprises 97 species (BOROWIEC and Świętojańska 2009). Most species of the genus are small, yellow cassids, very uniform and difficult to identify.o nly few species have distinct dorsal pattern. Colour photographs of most species are available in BOROWIEC and Świętojańska (2002). 342 LECH BoroWIEC In material studied recently I found two new species of the genus Charidotella WEISE belonging to two subgenera with very characteristic and distinct dorsal black pattern.

  • Contact Pheromones As Mate Recognition Cues of Four Species of Longhorned Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
    Jotirnal of Insect Behavior, Vol. 16, No. 2, March 2003 (@ 2003) Contact Pheromones as Mate Recognition Cues of Four Species of Longhorned Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Matthew D. Ginzell and Lawrence M. ~anksl~~ Accepted December 4,2002 We tested the hypothesis that contact phermones mediate mate recognition for four species of longhorned beetles, Neoclytus mucronatus mucronatus (E),Megacyllene caryae (Gahan), Megacyllene robiniae (Forster), and Plec- trodera scalator (E).All tested males of all four species attempted to mate with females only after contacting them with their antennae. From 66.7 to 80% of tested males attempted to mate with hexane-extracted dead females treated with 0.1-1.0 female eq~livalentsof conspecific female extracts, confirming that nonpolar compounds on the cuticle of females are essential for mate recogni- tion in all four species. These findings are further evidence of the critical role of contact pheromones in mating systems of longhorned beetles. KEY WORDS: mate recognition; contact pheromones; mating behavior; Megacyllene; Neoclyttis; Plectrodem. INTRODUCTION The insect cuticle is rendered waterproof by a lipid layer that is a complex mixture of long-chain fatty acids, alcohols, esters, aldehydes, ketones, and hy- drocarbons (Gibbs, 1998). Some hydrocarbon constituents serve as contact pheromones in many types of insects (Blomquist et al., 1996). Such con- tact pheromones have been isolated in a few species of longhorned beetles IDepartment of Entomology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois. 2To whom correspondence should be addressed.

  • The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution
    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.
