  • Revised Taxonomy of Temognatha Duponti (Boisduval) and T. Stevensii
    Journal of Insect Biodiversity 3(18): 1-25, 2015 http://www.insectbiodiversity.org RESEARCH ARTICLE Revised taxonomy of Temognatha duponti (Boisduval) and T. stevensii (Gehin) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Stigmoderini), with definition of the grandis and stevensii species-groups Magnus Peterson1 1Unit 5/33 Point Walter Road, Bicton, Western Australia 6157. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The nominal species Temognatha duponti (Boisduval, 1835) and T. barbiventris (Carter, 1916) are considered conspecific. The specific name barbiventris (Carter, 1916) syn. nov. is a subjective synonym of the name duponti (Boisduval, 1835). The nominal species Temognatha stevensii (Gehin, 1855) is not considered conspecific with Temognatha duponti (Boisduval, 1835). The specific name stevensii (Gehin, 1855) is revalidated as the name of the species Temognatha stevensii (Gehin, 1855). The specific name tibialis (Waterhouse, 1874) is a subjective synonym of the name stevensii (Gehin, 1855). The prevailing usage (ICZN, Article 33.3.1) of the name stevensii over stewensii is preserved for the species Temognatha stevensii (Gehin, 1855). Both valid species are diagnosed/redescribed and illustrated, and their relationships, biology and distributions are discussed. Complete synonymies and references, and photos/illustrations of some diagnostic head, elytral and genitalic structural features, are also provided. The Temognatha grandis and T. stevensii species-groups are defined. Lectotypes are designated for Buprestis duponti Boisduval, 1835 and Stigmodera tibialis Waterhouse, 1874. Key words: Temognatha, barbiventris, duponti, flavocincta, grandis, stevensii, tibialis, synonyms, redescriptions, Australia, relationships, distributions, habitat, biology. Introduction The identity and synonymy of three nominal species of Temognatha Solier, T. duponti (Boisduval, 1835), T. stevensii (Gehin, 1855) and T. tibialis (Waterhouse, 1874), has been contentious for many years.

  • Beetles (Coleoptera) of the Shell Picture Card Series: Buprestidae by Dr Trevor J
    Calodema Supplementary Paper No. 30 (2007) Beetles (Coleoptera) of the Shell Picture Card series: Buprestidae by Dr Trevor J. Hawkeswood* *PO Box 842, Richmond, New South Wales, Australia, 2753 (www.calodema.com) Hawkeswood, T.J. (2007). Beetles (Coleoptera) of the Shell Picture Card series: Buprestidae. Calodema Supplementary Paper No. 30 : 1-7. Abstract: Cards depicting Buprestidae species (Coleoptera) from Australia in the Shell Picture Card series entitled Australian Beetles (1965) are reviewed in this paper. The original cards are supplied as illustrations with the original accompanying data. Comments on these data are provided wherever applicable. Introduction During the early to mid 1960’s the Shell Petroleum Company issued a number of Picture Card series dealing with the fauna and flora of Australia. The cards were handed out free at Shell service stations across the country (when petrol stations did give proper service!) and were housed in an album which was purchased separately. This paper reviews the Buprestidae (Coleoptera) of the Australian Beetles series (card numbers 301-360)(1965). The other beetle groups will be dealt with in other papers. The reason for these papers is to provide the illustrations and data for future workers since the Shell Picture Card series are rare and have seldom been referred to as a result. The nomenclature used here generally follows that of Bellamy (2003). Species Card no. 315 - Regal Jewel Beetle, Calodema regale (Laporte & Gory) [as Calodema regalis L.& G.] Card data: “This magnificent insect is extremely well named because it is one of the most beautiful members of the Jewel Beetle family (Buprestidae).

We found the brown minute scavenger beetle (Corticaria sp.) at so many survey plots for the Little Things that Run the City project that we dubbed the species ‘Old Faithful’. I’ve recreated the map of the City of Melbourne within the beetle’s body. Can you trace the outline of Port Phillip Bay? Can you recognise the shape of your suburb? Next time you’re walking in a park or garden in the City of Melbourne, keep a keen eye out for this ubiquitous little beetle.

  • Provisional List of Invertebrates Requiring Urgent Management
    Australian Government Bushfire Recovery Package for Wildlife and their Habitat Provisional list of priority invertebrate species requiring urgent management intervention or on-ground assessment The 2019-20 fires of eastern and southern Australia have had severe impacts on many Australian animals and plants. Because there are far more invertebrate species than there are vertebrate or plant species, and many invertebrate species have very localised ranges, it is likely that the fires will have severely affected many more invertebrate than plant or vertebrate species. However, for invertebrate species, the severity of this impact can be challenging to assess, because distributional information is typically limited, there are few monitoring programs for invertebrates, there is limited information on the susceptibility of most invertebrates to fire, invertebrates are poorly represented on threatened species lists, and the conservation status of most invertebrate species is unknown. In order to help guide conservation responses, this report identifies 191 invertebrate species known or presumed to have been severely affected by the 2019-20 fires. This prioritisation is based mostly on spatial analysis of the extent of overlap between species’ distributional range and fire, with such analysis considering the following groups of Australian invertebrate species: • approximately 700 invertebrate species listed as threatened under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 or equivalent state and territory legislation or on the global IUCN Red List of Threatened Species • invertebrate species considered to be of concern by state and territory agencies and by some experts, because of fire impacts • some taxonomic groups likely to contain many fire-affected species. The analysis considered potential impacts from fires in southern and eastern Australian between 1 July 2019 and 24 February 2020 identified in the National Indicative Aggregated Fire Extent Dataset.

  • Aspects of Female Reproductive Biology of Two Southwestern Australian Temognatha Species (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)
    l\ecords of the Western Australian Museum 18: 203-208 (1996). Aspects of female reproductive biology of two southwestern Australian Temognatha species (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) Magnus Peterson Unit 35/12 Wellington Street, Mosman Park, Western Australia 6012, Australia Abstract - Oviposition behaviour is described for the first time in a Temognatha species, T. chalcodera (Thomson, 1878). Allocasuarina acutivalvis (F. Muel\.) L. Johnson subsp. acutivalvis (Casuarinaceae) is the first recorded larval hostplant for T. chalcodera. Pre-oviposition behaviour is described for the first time in Temognatha bruckii (Thomson, 1878) and T. chalcodera. In-situ photos of T. chalcodera oviposition and T. bruckii pre-oviposition behaviour are provided. The published literature on pre-oviposition behaviour in Temognatha is reviewed. The Temognatha variabilis species-group is defined and diagnosed. Possible reasons for evolution of the apomorphic oviposition/pre-oviposition behaviour in these species are discussed. INTRODUCTION OBSERVATIONS Temognatha Solier, 1833 is a moderately large Temognatha (Temognatha) bruckii Australian stigmoderine genus of ca. 85 valid (Thomson, 1878) known taxa, the bionomics of which are poorly Figure 1 known.

    Calodema Volume 8 (2006) Book Review: Bellamy, C.L. (2003). Zoological Catalogue of Australia 29.5. Coleoptera: Buprestoidea. CSIRO Publishing, Collingwood, Victoria. by Dr Trevor J. Hawkeswood* *PO Box 842, Richmond, New South Wales, 2753, Australia (www.calodema.com) Hawkeswood, T.J. (2006). Book Review: Bellamy, C.L. (2003). Zoological Catalogue of Australia 29.5. Coleoptera: Buprestoidea. CSIRO Publishing, Collingwood, Victoria. Calodema, 8: 29-32. Abstract: A detailed book review is provided on the Buprestidae of Australia catalogue entitled “Zoological Catalogue of Australia 29.5. Coleoptera: Buprestoidea” by C.L. Bellamy, CSIRO Publishing, Victoria. [Recommended retail price in Australia: $140.00] . The long awaited taxonomic catalogue of the Buprestidae of Australia was finally published in 2003. The publication is actually dated 2002 but did not appear until early 2003. C.L. Bellamy is well known as perhaps one of the world’s leading Buprestidologists, although in most of his publications there are significant errors and differences in opinion from that of other authors. The present Australian buprestid catalogue is a huge work and at the first instance it appears to have had the last word on the taxonomy of the Australian Buprestidae. However this book contains numerous errors and many taxonomic and biological omissions. And even Bellamy himself admits that the taxonomy of many of the genera is outdated and there is a requirement for modern revisions. There are 4 coloured plates (paintings) of dead specimens near the beginning of the book which appear to have a washed out look - in other words their true colours are not represented. I know of a number of amateurs/collectors/photographers who have a vast collection of coloured slides of living Buprestidae.

Its development would not have been possible without substantial support and contributions from members of a Working Group and Advisory Committee, members of which are listed in Appendix 1. Finally, it would also not have been possible without the contributions, vision, patience, good will, and constructive feedback of the entire taxonomy and biosystematics community, and of the community’s many stakeholders and end users, in Australia and New Zealand. © Australian Academy of Science 2018 ISBN 978 0 85847 593 9 This work is copyright.

We found the brown minute scavenger beetle (Corticaria sp.) at so many survey plots for the Little Things that Run the City project that we dubbed the species ‘Old Faithful’. I’ve recreated the map of the City of Melbourne within the beetle’s body. Can you trace the outline of Port Phillip Bay? Can you recognise the shape of your suburb? Next time you’re walking in a park or garden in the City of Melbourne, keep a keen eye out for this ubiquitous little beetle.
