Young l ABSTRACT TIl.; defensive role played by cantharidin in meloid and oedemerid beetles has been well OOc\l11lenti!d. However. several groups of insects are known to orient positively toward the cberrrical or to the beetles which produce it: Miridae (Hemiptera); Pyrochroidae, An­ thicidae ,Coleoptera): Ceratopogonidae, Anthomyiidae (Diptera); and Braconidae tHymeoopteral. Literature citations are summarized for each of these taxa using current nomencla.tun: and indicating the nature of the association. \\rule re'.ie....ing literature pertinent to research on the systematics and bionomics of the genus Pedilu..s IColeoptera: Pyrochroidae), an intriguing association with a blister beetle I.\feloidael came to my attention. It involved the type specimen of P. impressus which was foond attached to the side of a Meloe angusticollis (Say 1827). SUb5.equent reading revealed that several groups of insects have been observed in ass.ociatioo ....ith meloids. The primary stimulus involved in every case appears to be cantharidm. the blister-causing compound evolved by the Meloidae as a cherrrical defense mechanism.

TIl.; compound may also be produced by the larval stages (Meyer et aL 1968), but Sierra's groop found that cantharidin biosynthesized in males was transferred to females, which were unable to biosynthesize cantharidin from any terpenoid precursors, The chem­ ical is knov.n 10 o.."'CUf in all developmental stages of the majority of meloids analytically examined 1~Ia~er & Johansen 1977, and references cited therein).

Throughout Wisconsin sampling sites were selected based on habitat type and sampling history. Wisconsin endomychids were hand collected from fungi and under tree bark; successful trapping methods included cantharidin- baited pitfall traps, flight intercept traps, and Lindgren funnel traps. Examina- tion of literature records, museum and private collections, and field research yielded 10 species, three of which are new state records. Two dubious records, Epipocus unicolor Horn and Stenotarsus hispidus (Herbst), could not be con- firmed.

  • Elytra Reduction May Affect the Evolution of Beetle Hind Wings
    Zoomorphology https://doi.org/10.1007/s00435-017-0388-1 ORIGINAL PAPER Elytra reduction may affect the evolution of beetle hind wings Jakub Goczał1 · Robert Rossa1 · Adam Tofilski2 Received: 21 July 2017 / Revised: 31 October 2017 / Accepted: 14 November 2017 © The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract Beetles are one of the largest and most diverse groups of animals in the world. Conversion of forewings into hardened shields is perceived as a key adaptation that has greatly supported the evolutionary success of this taxa. Beetle elytra play an essential role: they minimize the influence of unfavorable external factors and protect insects against predators. Therefore, it is particularly interesting why some beetles have reduced their shields. This rare phenomenon is called brachelytry and its evolution and implications remain largely unexplored. In this paper, we focused on rare group of brachelytrous beetles with exposed hind wings. We have investigated whether the elytra loss in different beetle taxa is accompanied with the hind wing shape modification, and whether these changes are similar among unrelated beetle taxa. We found that hind wings shape differ markedly between related brachelytrous and macroelytrous beetles. Moreover, we revealed that modifications of hind wings have followed similar patterns and resulted in homoplasy in this trait among some unrelated groups of wing-exposed brachelytrous beetles. Our results suggest that elytra reduction may affect the evolution of beetle hind wings.

The Virgin Islands are located at the eastern extreme of the Greater Antilles. The northern islands lie on the submerged Puerto Rican Bank, while St. Croix and its sat- ellite islands are separated by a deep trench from the northern islands (Heatwole & MacKenzie 1966).

  • Ant-Like Flower Beetles (Coleoptera: Anthicidae) of the Uk, Ireland and Channel Isles
    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 23: 2010 99 ANT-LIKE FLOWER BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: ANTHICIDAE) OF THE UK, IRELAND AND CHANNEL ISLES DMITRY TELNOV Stopinu novads, Darza iela 10, LV-2130, Dzidrinas, Latvia; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Anthicidae or ant-like flower beetles of the UK, Ireland and Channel Isles are reviewed. A species list, identification key, short diagnoses and illustrations of all taxa are given. Brief information on known ecological preferences of species is given. Key words: identification, distribution, key, United Kingdom, Ireland, fauna, ecology. INTRODUCTION Anthicidae are a cosmopolitan family of small to medium-sized, fast-moving beetles of the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. Anthicidae are represented in the World fauna by approximately 100 genera, and about 3500 species (Chandler, 2010). Only a few species are known from the fossil record. The last revision of the British Anthicidae was published by F. D. Buck (1954) in the well-known series Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects. Since then, there have been numerous nomenclatural changes within Anthicidae, and some additional species (introduced) have been recorded from the UK, making Buck’s key out of date. During 2004 and 2005 a total of 3356 specimens of Anthicidae from the UK and Ireland were examined by the author, mainly from the collections of The Natural History Museum (London), Oxford University Museum of Natural History and National Museum of Ireland. Additional data for more than 2100 specimens were received from other British museums and private collections between 2005 and 2007. A new key and short diagnoses for the genera are presented, as well as data on habitats and general distribution of species.

Devido a isso, este artigo foi desenvolvido visando apresentar as espécies de Miridae que possuem associações ou potenciais associações com plantas no Brasil. Para isso, foram realizadas consultas de artigos, livros e coleções de museus. Ao todo, foram encontradas 168 espécies de mirídeos associadas a plantas; estes dados foram manipulados para a elaboração de gráficos representando as interações entre as espécies de percevejos e as plantas hospedeiras no Brasil. As famílias botânicas Poaceae, Asteraceae, Fabaceae e Solanaceae apresentaram mais espécies de mirídeos associadas e incluem importantes culturas para a economia do país. Com base nestas associações, é possível contribuir para ampliar o conhecimento sobre a biologia e o comportamento alimentar de mirídeos, além de fornecer informações sobre o impacto que podem gerar nos sistemas de produção agrícola no Brasil.
