Shropshire Entomology – April 2011 (No.3) A bi-annual newsletter focussing upon the study of insects and other invertebrates in the county of Shropshire (V.C. 40) April 2010 (Vol. 3) Editor: Pete Boardman [email protected] ~ Welcome ~ Welcome to the 3rd edition of the Shropshire Entomology newsletter. By the time you receive this the recording season should be under way and hopefully those cold and miserable winter days will be but a mere memory. Also underway will be the Invertebrate challenge programme of training days, a three year project funded by The Heritage Lottery Fund and The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, which will be running around 100 events in total concentrating on the identification of some of Shropshire’s most under-recorded and under-studied invertebrates. It will also enable Shropshire Entomology to continue for the next three years, as well as enable my involvement with the SEDN as manager of the invertebrate database. Many thanks once more to everyone who has contributed to this edition. It can only function as a ‘newsletter’ if people contribute articles of news and views, so please do consider submitting articles that relate to entomology in Shropshire or entomology in general. The deadline for submission of content for Vol. 4 is Friday 16th September 2011. Please feel free to pass this newsletter on to anyone you feel might be interested in it. Note – past newsletters will soon be able to be downloaded as PDF’s from www.invertebrate-challenge.org.uk. ~ Contents ~ The Keeled Skimmer Orthetrum coerulescens -
Contribution to the Knowledge of the Clown Beetle Fauna of Lebanon, with a Key to All Species (Coleoptera, Histeridae)

ZooKeys 960: 79–123. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.960.50186 Abstract The occurrence of histerids in Lebanon has received little specific attention. Hence, an aim to enrich the knowledge of this coleopteran family through a survey across different Lebanese regions in this work. Sev- enteen species belonging to the genera Atholus Thomson, 1859,Hemisaprinus Kryzhanovskij, 1976, Hister Linnaeus, 1758, Hypocacculus Bickhardt, 1914, Margarinotus Marseul, 1853, Saprinus Erichson, 1834, Tribalus Erichson, 1834, and Xenonychus Wollaston, 1864 were recorded. Specimens were sampled mainly with pitfall traps baited with ephemeral materials like pig dung, decayed fish, and pig carcasses. Several species were collected by sifting soil detritus, sand cascading, and other specialized techniques. Six newly recorded species for the Lebanese fauna are the necrophilous Hister sepulchralis Erichson, 1834, Hemisap- rinus subvirescens (Ménétriés, 1832), Saprinus (Saprinus) externus (Fischer von Waldheim, 1823), Saprinus (Saprinus) figuratus Marseul, 1855, and Saprinus (Saprinus) niger (Motschulsky, 1849) all associated with rotting fish and dung, and the psammophilousXenonychus tridens (Jacquelin du Val, 1853). -

Gaertn. in those 57 alder stands which exhibited the most severe signs of dying back. The surveys revealed the presence of 28 species of insects belonging to various different orders. The most common species were Agelastica alni, Xiphydria camelus, Xyleborinus attenuatus (Bland.) (=X. alni Nissima) and Saperda scalaris. It seems that none of the species of insects identified would be expected to cause die back of alder over a large area. However, it was confirmed that insects do participate in the process of dying back of alder stands. Key words: insects, black alder, Alnus glutinosa, stands die back 1. Introduction depressions. In such places, in areas of boggy mixed broadleaved forest (BMBF), alder forest (AF), ash- In Poland, among the three native alder species, alder swamp forest (AASF), flood plain forest (FPF) black alder Alnus glutinosa (L.)

Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) in Azerbaijan
Turk J Zool 25 (2001) 41-52 © T†BÜTAK A Study of the Ecofaunal Complexes of the Leaf-Eating Beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) in Azerbaijan Nailya MIRZOEVA Institute of Zoology, Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences, pr. 1128, kv. 504, Baku 370073-AZERBAIJAN Received: 01.10.1999 Abstract: A total of 377 leaf-eating beetle species from 69 genera and 11 subfamilies (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) were revealed in Azerbaijan, some of which are important pests of agriculture and forestry. The leaf-eating beetle distribution among different areas of Azerbaijan is presented. In the Great Caucasus 263 species are noted, in the Small Caucasus 206, in Kura - Araks lowland 174, and in Lenkoran zone 262. The distribution of the leaf-eating beetles among different sites is also described and the results of zoogeographic analysis of the leaf-eating beetle fauna are presented as well. Eleven zoogeographic groups of the leaf-eating beetles were revealed in Azerbaijan, which are not very specific. The fauna consists mainly of the common species; the number of endemic species is small. Key Words: leaf-eating beetle, larva, pest, biotope, zoogeography.

Humber Insect Mycologist and Curator, ARSEF UPDATED July 2011 Some seemingly dramatic and comparatively recent changes in the classification of a number of fungi may continue to cause confusion or a degree of discomfort to many of the clients of the cultures and informational resources provided by the ARSEF culture collection. This short treatment is an attempt to summarize some of these changes, the reasons for them, and to provide the essential references to the literature in which the changes are proposed. As the Curator of the ARSEF collection I wish to assure you that these changes are appropriate, progressive, and necessary to modernize and to stabilize the systematics of the fungal pathogens affecting insects and other invertebrates, and I urge you to adopt them into your own thinking, teaching, and publications. -

Of Sicily: New Records and an Updated Checklist
DOI: 10.1478/AAPP.972A7 AAPP j Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali ISSN 1825-1242 Vol. 97, No. 2, A7 (2019) THE HISTERIDAE (COLEOPTERA: HISTEROIDEA) OF SICILY: NEW RECORDS AND AN UPDATED CHECKLIST COSIMO BAVIERA a∗ AND PIERPAOLO VIENNA b ABSTRACT. This paper is an updated checklist of the Sicilian Histeridae. Listed species originate from published data together with new material collected by the authors and other entomologists in the past last few decades. One hundred and four species and subspecies are reported, with new distribution data for many rare species in Sicily. 1. Introduction Clown beetles, also known as histerid beetles, are mostly predacious Coleoptera. They are usually of a rather stout build, with a rounded or oval shape, but may also be cylindrical or dorsoventrally flattened as in some saproxylic species and range between 0.5 and20 mm in length (Penati 2009). Worldwide some 4,300 species in 350 genera of Histeridae have been scientifically described (Slipinski et al. 2011), the majority of which occur in the tropics as is the case with numerous other Coleoptera families (Johnson 2002). All species are characterized by a retractile head (except Hololeptini and Spelaeacritus) and appendices, truncate elytra (which usually leave the last two abdominal segments exposed) and geniculate antennae with a compact club, consisting of three segments. Most species are black, but some are brown, reddish, metallic blue or green, while others have elytral markings varying in colour from yellowish to red. Adults live in diverse habitats such as leaf litter, sand, dead wood, under stones and under carrion. -
