Researches on Leaf-Beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in The Entomol.rom., 11: 13-18, 2006 ISSN 1224 - 2594 Researches on leaf-beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in the black pine of Banat (Pinus nigra banatica) habitate and adjacent areas from the „Domogled-Valea Cernei” National Park (Romania) Alexandru cR i ş A n Summary A rsearch on leaf-beetles made in 2005 in the black pine of Banat habitate and adjacent areas in the Domogled-valea Cernei National Park revealed the prsence of 55 species from 22 genera and 8 subfamilies. The subfamilies Alticinae and Cryptocephalinae were the best represented, in accord with the habitate conditions. A serie of 13 species here rgistered are rare and endangered species, other species found only in that area the characteristical vegetal food species. Rezumat Cercetări asupra crizomelidelor (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) în habitatul pinului negru de Ba- nat şi ariile adiacente din cadrul Parcului Naţional “Domogled-Valea Cernei” În urma unei investigaţii facute în 2005 în zona studiată, am identificat 55 de specii de cri- zomelide din 22 de genuri şi 8 subfamilii. Subfamiliile Alticinae şi Cryptocephalinae au fost cel mai bine reprezentate, in acord cu condiţiile de habitat oferite de această arie. Un număr de 13 specii dintre cele identificate sunt considerate rare şi periclitate; alte specii găsesc doar in această zonă baza tzrofică caracteristică.

They are used with the bait of fermenting liquids (beer, wine) with the addition of sugar and other carbohydrates. The research was conducted in 2018-2020 in several regions of Russia. It was possible to identify 294 species from 45 Coleoptera families during this time. Simple traps have been shown to be highly effective and can be used to study insect biodi- versity in forest ecosystems. Abstract: The possibilities of applying various methods to study Coleoptera give unexpected and original results. The studies were carried out with the help of fermental crown traps in 2018-2020 on the territory of eight regions in the central part of European Russia. The biodiversity of Cole- optera that fall into crown traps includes 294 species from 45 families. The number of species at- tracted to the fermenting bait is about a third of the total number of species in the traps (this is 97.4% of the number of all caught specimens).

In this study we present a faunistic overview of an investigation of arboreal phytophagous beetles collected from primeval forests and managed forests of Białowie ża and Borecka Forests by insecticidal knock-down in 2001 and 2002. The whole dataset is based on 122 fogging samples and on stem eclector samples from 49 trees. In the area of Białowie ża Forest 78 fogging samples from common oak ( Quercus robur L.), 28 from spruce ( Picea abies (L.) KARST .), 13 from hornbeam ( Carpinus betulus L.) and 3 from different trees ( Acer platanoides L., Populus tremula L., Pinus sylvestris L.) were taken. The samples from ancient woodland, primary forest sanctuaries, and different-aged managed forest stands revealed 129 phytophagous beetle species and 24458 individuals of the families Chrysomelidae, Bruchidae, Anthribidae, Rhynchitidae, Attelabidae, Apionidae, Nanophyidae, and Curculionidae. The stem eclector catches resulted in 32 species and 7077 individuals of Chrysomelidae, Anthribidae, Apionidae and Curculionidae. In the area of Borecka Forest 11 trees were fogged (3 Quercus robur L., 4 Picea abies , 3 Carpinus betulus and 1 Tilia cordata MILL .), resulting in 25 species and 1531 individuals. The following seven species,mainly collected by fogging, were previously not recorded from Białowie ża forest: Zeugophora frontalis, Longitarsus curtus, Cryptocephalus nitidus, Crepidodera nitidula, Bruchidius marginalis, Acanthoscelides obtectus , and Phaeochrotes cinctus .

  • The Leaf Beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) of the Pirin Mountain (Bulgaria)
    Historia naturalisThe bulgarica,leaf beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) of the Pirin Mountain (Bulgaria) 51 17: 51-79, 2006 The leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) of the Pirin Mountain (Bulgaria) Blagoy GRUEV GRUEV B. 2006. The leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) of the Pirin Mountain (Bulgaria). – Historia naturalis bulgarica, 17: 51-79. Abstract. The paper reviews the diversity of leaf beetles of Pirin Mts, South Bulgaria. Two- hundred and eghty nine (sub)species are hitherto registered on the territory of the mountain (of them 38 are new records), which counts to approx. 57 % of the Bulgarian chrysomelid fauna. Of them, six species (Clytra valeriana tetrastigma, Luperus graecus, Gonioctena pallida reticulata, Oreina speciosissima drenskii, O. virgulata ljubetensis, Aphthona parnassicola) are Balkan endemics, and one (Longitarsus behnei) is local endemic. The dominant zoogeographical complexes are: Siberian (150 taxa), and European (113 taxa). Key words: Leaf beetles, Chrysomelidae, Faunistics. Zoogeography, Pirin Mts, Bulgaria Introduction The Chrysomelidae fauna of the Pirin Mountain has not been a subject of special investigations. Nevertheless, 289 species and subspecies have been established in the mountain by now (38 of them are herein newly recorded as belonging to the fauna of the mountain; asterisked in the faunistic list). That number is sizable considering that it represents 57 % of the taxa known in Bulgaria. It cannot be affirmed, however, that the faunistic composition is finally fixed. Findings of some rather more widespread species are quite possible, especially in the low parts of the mountain. It is also possible some other high mountain relicts, Mideuropean in origin, to be found (particularly representatives of Oreina and Chrysolina).

Gruev Department of Zoology, University of Plovdiv, Tzar Assen Street 24, BG-4000, Bulgaria INTRODUCTION VIKTOR APFELBECK (1912, 1914, 1916) published for the first time a complete faunistic information about all the leaf bettle taxa established in the Balkan Peninsula. He summarized the literature data and brought a large contribution of his own to the knowledge of the family Chrysomelidae including the results of his expeditions in a number of Balkan countries. Later works by various authors on leaf beetles of separate parts of the peninsula have been appeared, most extensive of which are those of: ROUBAL (1931-1934), NOVAK (1952, 1970), MÜLLER (1953), MOHR (1965, 1966), NONVEILLER (1978, 1984), GRUEV (1979, 1990, 1992, 1998), GRUEV and TOMOV (1984, 1986, 1998), BRELIH, DÖBERL, DROVENIK and PIRNAT (2003). The total number of the Chrysomelidae taxa of the Balkan Peninsula after Apfelbeck is 477. The present number (having in mind newly recorded and newly described taxa as well as synonyms and other nomenclaturial changes) of the established taxa is 791. Between 120 and 130 have been originally described on the basis of material from the Balkan Peninsula. 23 A comparative list… LIST OF THE TAXA ESTABLISHED IN THE BALKAN COUNTRIES: (Abbreviations: I – Italy [Balkan part], Sl –Slovenia [Balkan part], Cr – Croatia [Balkan part], Mg – Montenegro, BH – Bosnia-Herzegovina, M –

  • Glos Species of Conservation Concern
    Gloucestershire Key Wildlife Sites Handbook Part 3: Appendices Appendix 3 – Species of conservation concern in Gloucestershire This Appendix contains the reference species lists for use when assessing the minimum thresholds for selecting KWS on species grounds. General thresholds for different categories of species conservation status are detailed in Part 2 of the KWS Handbook, Section 2.6. Key species groups such at bats, amphibians and butterflies also have an accompanying rationale for site selection, provided by the relevant expert County Recorders. “Schedule” in the Status column of the species lists refers to schedules of The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (and subsequent amendments) unless otherwise stated. IUCN Red List refers to the IUCN Global Red List; National Red List is the national listing based on IUCN criteria but applied regionally rather than globally. A longer summary of the legislation and designation categories relating to species status is listed in Appendix 4 . The relevant threshold from the Species Criteria in Section 2.6 is included next to each species list, or individual species entry where applicable. Please note that these tables will be subject to regular updates as and when the status of species is reviewed, and that some species may occasionally be added to, or removed from, the lists. Species assemblage indices may also change from time to time. Please check that you have the latest version of Appendix 3 before assessing a site for KWS selection! If in doubt, a master list of all UK conservation designations is available from the JNCC website here: http://www.jncc.gov.uk/page-3408.

ZooKeys 856: 115–135. https://doi. org/10.3897/zookeys.856.32564 Abstract Based on 168,674 records in the database ChryFaun changes in distribution and abundance of leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae s.l.) in Central Europe were analysed from 1900 through 2009. From the first decade (1900–1909) to the last (2000–2009) the number of records per decade increased by factor 26, from 1513 to 41,269. The number of species increased from 395 in decade 1 to 606 in decade 10, but only 532 were reported in decade 11. The number of species with fewer records increased from 1990 although the total number of records increased continuously. Decrease and increase is found likewise in mono-, oligo-, and polyphagous species. Twenty-two species (3.0%) have not been reported since 1990, and 42 (5.8%) since 2000.
