    ISSN 0966 2235 LATISSIMUS NEWSLETTER OF THE BALFOUR-BROWNE CLUB Number Forty Five February 2020 Liopterus haemorrhoidalis (Fab.) found in a heathland pool in Dorset, England by Peter Sutton. ADDRESSES The addresses of authors of articles and reviewed works are mainly given at the end of this issue of Latissimus. The address for other correspondence is: Professor G N Foster, 3 Eglinton Terrace, Ayr KA7 1JJ, Scotland, UK – [email protected] 1 LATISSIMUS 45 February 2020 TOWARDS A PHOTOGUIDE FOR THE LARGER BRITISH WATER BEETLES Peter Sutton For some time now, I have been working on a sequel to The Larger Water Beetles of the British Isles (Sutton 2008) in a bid to photograph all of the large and spectacular aquatic Coleoptera of Britain. The trials and tribulations of the search for these fascinating insects are described in a recent article in British Wildlife (Sutton 2017). This article also reveals that some of the medium-sized species of interest, such as those of the genus Rhantus have been included, as have species from other groups, including the raft spider, Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck) and a rare wasp, Chalcis sispes (L.), parasitic on soldierflies (Stratiomyidae), which collectively highlight the conservation importance of some of the very special habitats in which they may be found. Figure 1 Rhantus frontalis (Marsham), brackish pool, Canvey Island, South Essex February 2020 LATISSIMUS 45 2 The prospective book, therefore, covers a good number of medium-sized water beetles (7- 13 mm), from the Piles Beetle Liopterus haemorrhoidalis (Fab.) (6.3-7.9 mm) to the comparatively large Ilybius ater (12.5 -14.5 mm), known by some in Britain as the Mud Dweller.

  • World Catalogue of Dytiscidae – Corrections and Additions, 3 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)
    ©Wiener Coleopterologenverein (WCV), download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Koleopterologische Rundschau 76 55–74 Wien, Juli 2006 World Catalogue of Dytiscidae – corrections and additions, 3 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) A.N. NILSSON &H.FERY Abstract A third set of corrections and additions is given to the World Catalogue of Dytiscidae (NILSSON 2001) including the first and second sets of corrections and additions (NILSSON 2003 & 2004). Megadytes lherminieri (GUÉRIN-MÉNEVILLE, 1829) has priority over M. giganteus (LAPORTE, 1835). The species name Dytiscus silphoides PONZA, 1805 is declared as a nomen oblitum, in order to ensure the continuous usage of its junior synonym Deronectes opatrinus (GERMAR, 1824) as a valid name (nomen protectum). The preoccupied name Hydroporus ruficeps AUBÉ, 1838 is replaced with Hydroporus pseudoniger nom.n. New taxa published before January 1, 2006 are added. The number of recent species of the family Dytiscidae is now 3959. Key words: Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, world, replacement name, catalogue, corrections, additions. Introduction The World catalogue of Dytiscidae (NILSSON 2001) was recently updated in two sets of corrections and additions (NILSSON 2003, 2004, here referred to as CA1 and CA2), covering works published up to January 1, 2004. This third update includes new taxa and other taxonomic acts published before January 1, 2006. The age of some fossil species have been reconsidered according to EVENHUIS (1994). The transfer of species from Copelatus to genus Papuadytes suggested by BALKE et al. (2004a) follows instructions given by BALKE (in litt.). The number of recent species of Dytiscidae is now 3959.

We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) Accepted 13 February 2018 of this organism (16,388 bp). The genome includes a typical set of genes (13 protein-coding genes KEYWORDS (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes) and 1 non-coding region with an arrangement identical to Mitochondrial genome; that observed in most insect genomes. Twelve PCGs had the typical ATN start codon, whereas ND1 had þ Carabidae; Cicindela the atypical TTG codon. The AT-rich region is 1629-bp long, composed of 80.0% A T nucleotides, and anchoralis; Endangered has no long repeat sequences. Phylogenetic analyses with concatenated sequences of the 13 PCGs and species; phylogeny 2 rRNA genes, using the Bayesian inference (BI) method, placed C. anchoralis as a sister to the within- subfamilial species Habrodera capensis, with the highest nodal support presented by both BI and maximum likelihood (ML) methods. Three subfamilies represented by more than one species (Cicindelinae, Harpalinae, and Carabinae) were all determined by both BI and ML analyses to form strong monophyletic groups. The tiger beetle, Cicindela anchoralis Chevrolat, 1845 determined using PartitionFinder 2 and the Greedy algorithm (Coleoptera: Carabidae), which has been listed as an (Lanfear et al.

Despite continuous attention from systematists and ecologists, existing phylogenetic hypotheses remain unsatisfactory because of limited taxon sampling or low node support. Here we provide a phylogenetic tree inferred from four gene fragments (cox1, rrnL, H3 and SSU, 4000 aligned base pairs), including 222 species in 116 of 174 known genera and 25 of 26 tribes. We aligned ribosomal genes prior to tree building with parsimony and Bayesian methods using three approaches: progressive pair-wise alignment with refinement, progressive alignment modeling the evolution of indels, and deletion of hypervariable sites. Results were generally congruent across alignment and tree inference methods. Basal relationships were not well defined, although we identified 28 well supported lineages corresponding to recognized tribes or groups of genera, among which the most prominent novel results were the polyphyly of Dytiscinae; the grouping of Pachydrini with Bidessini, Peschetius with Methlini and Coptotomus within Copelatinae; the monophyly of all Australian Hydroporini (Necterosoma group), and their relationship with the Graptodytes and Deronectes groups plus Hygrotini.

    235 Biological Studies in Hawaiian Water-Loving Insects PART I Coleoptera or Beetles PART II Odonata or Dragonflies BY FRANCIS X. WILLIAMS (Presented at the meeting of Dec. 5, 1935) FOREWORD This work was done at intervals, as opportunity offered, during the past six years and concerns chiefly the Island of Oahu, on which is the city of Honolulu. Numerous excursions into the field were made. Some of these were incidental to Experiment Station business. Very scant observations were made on the Island of Kauai, and hardly more, on the Island of Maui. A certain amount of data were obtained from the lowlands of Molokai, while late in 1933, the writer was fortunate in being able to spend a week at the Puuohoku Ranch, at the eastern end of that island and, in company with his brother, engaged in engineering work, to pene trate well into the rugged mountains and explore stream and waterfall. On the large Island of Hawaii, with an area of 4,015 square miles and mountains rising to nearly 14,000 feet, observa tions on water-loving insects were made in various scattered loca lities, and more at length and in detail when in the fall of 1931, in company with Mr. O. H. Swezey, about a week was spent at the forest nursery at Nauhi Gulch, at an elevation of 5,200 feet on the slopes of Mauna Kea, the summit of which, altitude 13,784 feet, was also visited. Thanks are due to Mr. O. H. Swezey for assistance both in the field and in the laboratory; to Mr.

Aquatic beetle fauna of Greek holiday islands (Rhodes, Crete and Corfu) (Coleoptera, Hydradephaga, Hydro- philoidea, Hydraenidae). Spixiana 40 (1): 41-60. Detailed new records of 101 aquatic beetle taxa from 179 sites of Rhodes, Crete and Corfu Islands were given. Further species which were only known from these islands based on publication data and database records were also listed. Regarding the eight discussed families, 11, 16 and 18 species were recorded for the first time, and the number of water beetle taxa known from of Rhodes, Crete and Corfu raised to 48, 79 and 112, respectively.
