Zoosystema 35 (4): 537-549. http://dx.doi.org/10.5252/z2013n4a7 ABSTRACT Augosoma centaurus Fabricius, 1775 (Melolonthidae: Dynastinae), one of the largest Scarabaeoid beetles of the Ethiopian Region, is classified in the tribe Dynastini MacLeay, 1819, principally on the basis of morphological characters of the male: large frontal and pronotal horns, and enlargement of fore legs. With the exception of A. centaurus, the 62 species of this tribe belong to ten genera grouped in Oriental plus Australasian and Neotropical regions. We performed cytogenetic studies of A. centaurus and several Asian and Neotropical species of Dynastini, in addition to species belonging to other sub-families of Melolonthidae Leach, 1819 and various tribes of Dynastinae MacLeay, 1819: Oryctini Mulsant, 1842, Phileurini Burmeister, 1842, Pentodontini Mulsant, 1842 and Cyclocephalini Laporte de Castelnau, 1840. The karyotypes of most species were fairly alike, composed of 20 chromosomes, including 18 meta- or sub-metacentric autosomes, one acrocentric or sub-metacentric X-chromosome, and one punctiform Y-chromosome, as that of their presumed common ancestor. -

EL GÉNERO DYNASTES MAC LEAY, 1819 EN LA ZONA DE TRANSICIÓN MEXICANA (COLEOPTERA: MELOLONTHIDAE: DYNASTINAE) Miguel Ángel
Boletín Sociedad Entomológica Aragonesa, nº 45 (2009) : 23−38. EL GÉNERO DYNASTES MAC LEAY, 1819 EN LA ZONA DE TRANSICIÓN MEXICANA (COLEOPTERA: MELOLONTHIDAE: DYNASTINAE) Miguel Ángel Morón Instituto de Ecología, A. C. Apartado Postal 63, Xalapa, Veracruz 91000 México − [email protected] Resumen: Se presenta una síntesis de los datos de distribución geográfica y ecológica de las especies de Dynastes Mac Leay que se encuentran entre el sur de los Estados Unidos y Honduras, que fundamenta análisis de trazos y de parsimonia de endemismos para proponer una hipótesis sobre la diversificación del género en la Zona de Transición Mexicana (ZTM). Con base en caracteres morfológicos y la distribución se propone pasar D. hyllus moroni Nagai a la categoría de especie, stat. n., y sinonimizar D. miyas- hitai Yamaya con D. hyllus Chevrolat, syn. n. Cuatro especies son exclusivas de la ZTM, y dos solo penetran parcialmente en ella. Dynastes hyllus se distribuye en cuatro provincias biogeográficas de montaña; D. granti Horn se localiza en la mitad norte de la provincia de la Sierra Madre Occidental y su extensión hacia el suroeste de EUA; D. maya Hardy es exclusiva de la provincia de Chiapas; D. moroni Nagai es endémica de la Sierra de Los Tuxtlas; mientras que dos subespecies de D. hercules (L.) son raras en parte de las provincias de Chiapas y el Golfo de México; y D. tityus (L.) solo penetra ligeramente en el límite noreste de la ZTM. Los dos trazos generalizados obtenidos corresponden en parte con los dominios Mexicano de Montaña y Mesoamericano (sensu Mo- rrone, 2004). -

Format h 270 mm x w 180 mm A life-size guide to six hundred species from around the world 1 1 w 7 ⁄8 ins x h 10 ⁄2 ins More than one fifth of all known life forms on this planet are beetles. Extent 656 pages | 140,000 words They are extraordinarily visually diverse: renowned British geneticist hardback JBS Haldane, when asked what could be inferred about God from a Copyright © The Ivy Press 2012 study of His works, replied, “An inordinate fondness for beetles.” The Book of Beetles uncovers 600 significant examples, selected as part of a genome program. They are shown in glorious photographs, life size and in detail, alongside an engraving offering a side or open-winged view. Each profile includes a population distribution map, a table of essential information, and a commentary revealing notable characteristics, related species, and a diagnosis of the specimen’s importance in terms of taxonomy, rarity, behavior, and scientific significance. Arranged taxonomically, this essential reference reveals the variety and importance of beetles for the first time. Patrice Bouchard is research scientist and curator of Coleoptera at the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids, and Nematodes. Co-author of four books including the 1,000-page Family-group names in Coleoptera and the award-winning Tenebrionid Beetles of Australia, Bouchard is also on the editorial board of The Canadian Entomologist, ZooKeys, and Zoological Bibliography.

Se compiló información publicada y se complementó con la revisión de material del grupo resguardado en colecciones institucionales y particulares. Se registraron un total de 318 especies pertenecientes a siete familias, incluidas en 20 subfamilias, 56 tribus, y 120 géneros. Las familias mejor representadas fueron: Curculionidae y Dryopthoridae con 226 y 43 especies respectivamente. El género mejor representado fue Rhodobaenus con 29 especies y Conotrachelus con 20, Geraeus con 13 y con Trichapion con 12 y Sibinia con 11. La información en los datos de colecta no fue la suficiente para establecer las relaciones entre los tipos de vegetación y sus plantas hospederas de la flora de Morelos. Se sugiere realizar más estudios para obtener la diversidad de los Curculionoidea en Morelos, sus relaciones y en las diferentes condiciones ambientales de la región. -
CITES Cop15 Proposals TRAFFIC Recommendations
TRAFFIC Recommendations on the Proposals to Amend the CITES Appendices at the 15th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties Doha, Qatar 13–25 March 2010 Downloaded from www.traffic.org/cop15 RECOMMENDATIONS TRAFFIC Recommendations on the Proposals to Amend the CITES Appendices at CoP15 Species Comment Recommendation 1 Canis lupus. CoP15 Prop. 1 [Switzerland (as a Depositary Government, at the request of the ACCEPT Animals Committee)] Addition of an annotation to the species Canis lupus listed in Appendix I and II reading: “Exclude the domesticated form and the dingo which are referenced as Canis lupus familiaris and Canis lupus dingo”. This proposal to annotate the listing of the Grey Wolf Canis lupus in the CITES Appendices aims to clarify that the provisions of the Convention do not apply to the Domestic Dog and Dingoes, two C. lupus subspecies included under the more recently adopted CITES standard taxonomic reference for mammals. The suggested annotation provides necessary clarification that these subspecies are not subject to CITES provisions. However, if possible, reference should be made in the annotation to 60 plus synonyms for the two subspecies proposed for exclusion. 2 Lynx rufus CoP15 Prop. 2 [United States of America] Deletion from Appendix II. REJECT This North American cat species is sustainably harvested in large numbers for its fur, and its populations remain well managed and are stable or increasing throughout its range. For these reasons the species would merit removal from the Appendices. However, the Bobcat Lynx rufus was included in the CITES Appendices because of its similarity of appearance to other Felidae species that were threatened by international trade. -
