    PROC. ENTOMOL. SOC. WASH. 87(3), 1985, pp. 512-524 RECONSTITUTION OF THE TRIBES ULOMINI AND TRIBOLIINI FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA (TENEBRIONIDAE; COLEOPTERA) John T. Do"ien University of California, Berkeley, California 94720. Abstract.— The tribes Ulomini and Triboliini are redefined, based on external and internal characters of adults and immatures. New World Ulomini include Alegoria Laporte, Antimachns Gistel, Aptendcda Gebien, Aptendoina Gebien, Eutochia LeConte, Metabolocerus Bates, Pheres Champion, Uleda Laporte and Ulonia Latreille. Uloma carolynae from southern Mexico is newly described. Triboliini include Aesytnnus Champion, Latheticus Waterhouse, Lyphia Mulsant and Rey, Mctidosonia Bates, Mycotrogus Horn, Palonts Mulsant, Tharsus Le- Conte, Tnbolium Macleay and Ulosonia Laporte. As constituted in present catalogues the tribe Ulomini is strongly composite, containing taxa representing at least four distinct lineages. From the North Amer- ican fauna Doyen (1984) removed Adelina Dejean, Sitophagiis Mulsant, Gnato- cerus Thunberg, Doliopines Horn, Doliodesmus Spilman, Mophis Champion, and Cynaeus LeConte to Diaperini, as the subtribe Adelinina. Alphitobius Stephens and Metaclisa Jaquelin du Val properly belong to Tenebrionini (Doyen and Tschinkel, 1982; 1 ,-cliinkel and Doyen, 1980). Adclonia Laporte (= Mewtemmis Horn; Spilman, 1961a), sometimes included in Ulomini should be placed in Belopini (Doyen and Tschinkel, 1982). Most of the remaining "ulomine" genera, related to Tnbolnivi and Palorus, should be placed in a separate tribe, Triboliini, as detailed below. Ulomini is then restricted to a relatively small group of genera related to Uloma. In this sense Ulomini comprises a rather uniform assemblage, characterized by several distinctive synapomorphies (see Doyen and Tschinkel, 1982, and below). This arrangement corresponds to that of Reitter (1917), who restricted the European Ulomini to Uloma.

  • The Carcinogenic Effects of Benzoquinones Produced by the Flour Beetle
    Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences Vol. 14, No. 1 (2011), 159-164 DOI 10.2478/v10181-011-0025-8 Review The carcinogenic effects of benzoquinones produced by the flour beetle Ł.B. Lis1, T. Bakuła1, M. Baranowski1, A. Czarnewicz2 1 Department of Veterinary Prevention and Feed Hygiene Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Oczapowskiego 13, 10-718 Olsztyn, Poland 2 Veterinary Surgery HelpVet, Plonska 113A, 06-400 Ciechanów, Poland Abstract Humans and animals come into contact with various compounds in their natural environment. Most of the encountered substances are neutral, yet some may carry adverse health effects. The ingested food may be a source of harmful substances, including benzoquinones which, as shown by research results cited in this paper, demonstrate toxic, carcinogenic and enterotoxic activity. This group of compounds is inclusive of 2-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (MBQ) and 2-ethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (EBQ), defensive secretions of the confused flour beetle (Tribolium confusum J. du V) and the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum Herbst). Benzoquinones have a carcinogenic effect, they are inhibi- tors of growth of various microorganisms, they produce a self-defense mechanism in threat situations and affect population aggregation. As noted by the referenced authors, the properties of ben- zoquinones have not been fully researched to this date. Key words: benzoquinones, flour beetles, quinone carcinogenicity Introduction set wider than the eyes of red flour beetle. Both spe- cies have well-formed flight wings, but only the red Flour beetles, including the confused flour beetle flour beetle flies in warm interiors or in a tropical (Tribolium confusum) and the red flour beetle climate.

  • CHECKLIST of the FAMILY TENEBRIONIDAE (Coleoptera) in Egypt
    Egypt. J. Agric. Res., 94 (1), 2016 39 CHECKLIST OF THE FAMILY TENEBRIONIDAE (Coleoptera) IN Egypt ELSHEWY, D. A.; M. M. SALEM and NEVEEN E. ELMETWALLY Insect classification and survey Dept., Plant Protection Res. Inst., ARC, Dokki, Giza (Manuscript received 30 November 2015) Abstract n updated checklistof the Egyptian species of the family Tenebrionidae (Coleoptera) is presented. The listincludes A about 397 species belonging to 5 subfamilies in 33 tribesbased on the records in literatures and material kept in the main reference insect collections of Egypt. Synonyms of some species and the recent taxonomic position are included. The taxa (subfamilies, tribes, genera and species) are arranged in alphabetical order. Key words: Coleoptera ,Tenebrionidae, Egypt . INTRODUCTION Family Tenebrionidae (Darkling beetles) is one of the largest families of order Coleoptera, icluding about20.000known species in nearly 1700 genera of worldwide distribution (Booth et al., 1990). Ten subfamiliesare accepted now for this family (Loble et al., 2008).The majority are entirely terrestrial and very common in desert and semi- desert areas and are found in rotten wood, under logs and stones, in termite and ant nests, on plant debris, in dry dung of animals and in houses and granaries. Many are generalist feeders on detritus whether of animal or plant material and few are predators. Few species are known to be agricultural or stored products pests. The scientific names and taxonomic position of many species was a subject of taxonomic change in the last decades as a result of more critical studies such as Bouchard et al (2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011). Lawrence and Newton (2005) who provided taxonomic data on the family group names of coleoptera including Tenebrionidae with studies on biology, phylogeny and classification of some families, subfamilies with selected genera of Coleoptera.

  • FAMILY TENEBRIONIDAE (Darkling Beetles)
    FAMILY TENEBRIONIDAE (Darkling beetles) Y. Bousquet & J.M. Campbell This family comprises over 1200 species in North America but more than 80% of them are restricted to the southwestern United States. Only 139 species occur within the Canadian and Alaskan borders. Many tenebrionids live in semiarid areas and deserts but in Canada, most species are found in rotten wood, fungi, under logs and stones, and under the bark of dead trees. A number of species, such as Tenebrio, Gnatocerus, Tribolium and Palorus, are stored-product pests and some account for the most important ones in the country. Adults and larvae feed on plants or plant material including decaying vegetation, seeds, roots, cereals and their products, and fungi. The concept of the family used for the checklist is similar to that of the tenebrionoid branch of Doyen and Tschinkel (1982). Adults of all species have paired defensive glands with reservoirs opening between the 7th and 8th sternites. The lagrioid lineage, which is probably the sister group of the tenebrionids, have been given family status; these species lack the defensive glands. While the limits of the family is now fairly stable, its higher classification is still poorly understood. Numerous changes have recently been proposed in the classification of the family (see Doyen and Tschinkel 1982) and more are expected; the alleculids for example are probably polyphyletic in origin. The classification used here has been provided by Aalbu (pers. comm.). There is no recent revision of the Nearctic Tenebrionidae and most genera occurring in Canada have not been revised. Identification is often difficult especially in large groups like Eleodes.

  • Contribution to the Study of Darkling Beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) from Golestan Province, Northern Iran
    Wiadomości Entomologiczne 36 (1): 25–31 Poznań 2017 Contribution to the study of darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) from Golestan Province, Northern Iran Materiały do poznania czarnuchowatych (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) prowincji Golestan w północnym Iranie 1 2 Marek BUNALSKI , Hassan GHAHARI 1 Department of Entomology and Environmental Protection, University of Life Sciences, Dąbrowskiego 159, 60-594 Poznań, Poland; email: [email protected] 2 Young Researchers and Elites Club, Yadegar-e- Imam Khomeini (RAH) Shahre Rey Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran; email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper deals with a faunistic research on Tenebrionidae (Coleoptera) from Golestan Province. In total, nine species from five subfamilies of Diaperinae, Lagriinae, Opatrinae, Pimeliinae, and Tenebrioninae were collected and identified. Blaps gigas (LINNAEUS, 1767) is a new species for Iranian fauna. KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae, darkling beetles, fauna, Iran, Golestan Prov. Introduction Darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) are mostly rather large and flightless, although a few species living in rotten wood and in stored products are small. With more than 15.000 known species, darkling beetles are one of the most common members of the beetle, or coleopteran, community (SOLDATI & SOLDATI 2003, MATTHEWS & BOUCHARD 2008). They can be found in desert or semidesert regions all over the world. They burrow under the stones, bark, and leaf litter. The great majority of these insects are scavengers (SCHAWALLER 1996; BOUCHARD & al. 2005). The fauna of Iranian Tenebrionidae has been poorly studied so far with 67 reported species by different researchers (MODARRES AWAL 1997; MEDVEDEV & MERKL 2005; TARAVATI & FERRER 2007, SAKENIN & al. 2009; GHAHARI & al. 2010a, 2010b, 2012; GHAHARI & BUNALSKI 2011; 26 M.

  • Preliminary Phylogeny of Tribolium Beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) Resolved by Combined Analysis of Mitochondrial Genes
    NOTE Eur. J. Entomol. 103: 709–715, 2006 ISSN 1210-5759 Preliminary phylogeny of Tribolium beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) resolved by combined analysis of mitochondrial genes NEVENKA MEŠTROVIû, BRANKICA MRAVINAC, MIROSLAV PLOHL, ĈURĈICA UGARKOVIû and BRANKA BRUVO-MAĈARIû* Ruÿer Boškoviü Institute, Bijeniþka 54, HR-10002 Zagreb, Croatia Key words. Tribolium, mitochondrial DNA, cytochrome oxidase I, 16S rDNA, phylogeny, sibling species Abstract. The phylogenetic relationships of the three major species groups of Tribolium (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) were inferred using the simultaneous analysis of 642 bp of the most conserved part of mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) cytochrome oxidase I (COI) and 448–452 bp of mt 16S rDNA. High sequence divergence was observed for both genes even among sibling species. The analysis of the combined segments of COI and 16S rDNA sequences produced a phylogenetic tree with moderate level of confidence. The tree topology showed monophyly of the genus Tribolium whose species were separated into three groups: “brevicornis” group (with T. brevicornis as the only representative), “castaneum” group (with T. castaneum, T. freemani, T. madens and T. audax) and “con- fusum” group (with T. confusum, T. anaphe and T. destructor). Sibling species pairs T. castaneum – T. freemani and T. madens – T. audax are clearly resolved. The preliminary results presented here give moderate support to the previously proposed phylogeny based on morphological data. INTRODUCTION disagreement with cytological and morphological data.

  • In Tribolium Flour-Beetles
    Heredity7O (1993) 1—8 Received 22 July 1991 Genetical Society of Great Britain Presence of highly repetitive DNA sequences in Tribolium flour-beetles CARLOS JUAN, PATRICIA VAZQUEZ*, JOSE M. RUBIO*, EDUARD PETITPIERRE & GODFREY M. HEWITT* Laboratori de Genética, Departament de Biologia Ambiental, Universitat de les I//es Ba/ears, Pa/ma de Ma//orca 07071. Spain and *School of Biological Sciences, University of East Ang/ia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, U.K. Digestionof genomic DNA from seven species of Tribolium (Coleoptera) with Sau3AI, TaqI and C/al restriction enzymes shows the presence of remarkable amounts of highly repetitive DNA sequences in these species. In Tribolium freemani the sequences are tandemly repeated with a satellite monomer of 166 bp, A-T rich (70.5 per cent), representing 31 per cent of the total genome and located in centromeric chromosome areas as demonstrated by in situ hybridization. The sequence has the potential to form secondary structures such as stems or cruciforms due to the presence of frequent inverted repeats. Tribolium castaneum, T. anaphe and T. madens show homologous sequences to T freemani satellite DNA but T confusum, T audax, T brevicornis and other tenebrionid beetles, such as Tenebrio mo/itor and Misolampus goudoti, do not. A phylo- genetic dendrogram, based on the homology and abundance of highly repetitive sequences deduced by dot-blot hybridization, chemotaxonomic and karyological characters, is proposed for the seven studied species of Tribo/ium. Keywords:Coleopera,genus Tribolium, satellite DNA, T freemani. has shown that they can differ considerably in copy Introduction number and DNA sequence. However, some groups Thegenomes of eukaryotic organisms usually contain such as cetaceans and pinnipeds (Arnason & highly repetitive sequences that may constitute from Widegren, 1986, 1989; Arnason et a!., 1984) share less than 1 per cent to more than 50 per cent of the satellite DNAs with a high degree of sequence conser- total nuclear DNA (Skinner, 1977).
