  • Additions, Deletions and Corrections to the Staphylinidae in the Irish Coleoptera Annotated List, with a Revised Check-List of Irish Species
    Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society Number 41 (2017) ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO THE STAPHYLINIDAE IN THE IRISH COLEOPTERA ANNOTATED LIST, WITH A REVISED CHECK-LIST OF IRISH SPECIES Jervis A. Good1 and Roy Anderson2 1Glinny, Riverstick, Co. Cork, Republic of Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 21 Belvoirview Park, Belfast BT8 7BL, Northern Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> Abstract Since the 1997 Irish Coleoptera – a revised and annotated list, 59 species of Staphylinidae have been added to the Irish list, 11 species confirmed, a number have been deleted or require to be deleted, and the status of some species and names require correction. Notes are provided on the deletion, correction or status of 63 species, and a revised check-list of 710 species is provided with a generic index. Species listed, or not listed, as Irish in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera (2nd edition), in comparison with this list, are discussed. The Irish status of Gabrius sexualis Smetana, 1954 is questioned, although it is retained on the list awaiting further investgation. Key words: Staphylinidae, check-list, Irish Coleoptera, Gabrius sexualis. Introduction The Staphylinidae (rove-beetles) comprise the largest family of beetles in Ireland (with 621 species originally recorded by Anderson, Nash and O’Connor (1997)) and in the world (with 55,440 species cited by Grebennikov and Newton (2009)). Since the publication in 1997 of Irish Coleoptera - a revised and annotated list by Anderson, Nash and O’Connor, there have been a large number of additions (59 species), confirmation of the presence of several species based on doubtful old records, a number of deletions and corrections, and significant nomenclatural and taxonomic changes to the list of Irish Staphylinidae.

  • Beetles Species List
    BLACKMOORFOOT BEETLES Blackmoorfoot Reservoir is situated at the base of the Pennines c. 5.6 km SW of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire (GR: SE098127) at an elevation of 256 m a.s.l. Construction began on 1 May 1871 and the reservoir was filled to overflowing by 20 December 1876. As with most Victorian reservoirs, Blackmoorfoot was formed by damming a valley, but due to the topography, it was necessary to build two dam walls. The total cost of the reservoir was £260,549. The surface area of the reservoir is relatively large (c. 41 ha) but being situated at the base of the Pennines, and having a maximum depth of 12 m, there are no marginal or submerged plant communities (with the exception of small outcrops of Amphibious Bistort Persicaria amphibia along the west bank). Plantations of deciduous woodland (in which Rhododendron is dominant) fringe the west and east banks and there is a more extensive wooded area on the western half of the south bank. A small oak woodland (Orange Wood) lies immediately to the south of the reservoir and is included in the recording area. The bird life of the area has been documented since the 1950s, but it was not until the mid-1970s that other life-forms began to be scrutinised with any seriousness. Since this time a number of specialists have been invited to the reservoir with a view to identifying organisms within their specialisation. With the advent of the Recorder database it became possible to maintain records that were easily accessible and workable. It was therefore decided that a subsite approach would be the best way forward: 16 subsites were erected.

  • The Insects and Other Invertebrates of Alderley Edge
    13 The insects and other invertebrates of Alderley Edge Dmitri V. Logunov and Roger L. H. Dennis Introduction Dmitri V. Logunov Insects glistened in the sunshine, Insects skated on the water, Filled the drowsy air with buzzing. H. W. Longfellow (1856), Hiawatha, Pt 2, XVIII, The Death of Kwasind From every point of view, ‘bugs’ – the insects and other invertebrates – represent the most diverse group of organisms both locally on Alderley Edge and nationally in the British Isles. The total number of bugs recorded from the Edge by the Alderley Edge Landscape Project (AELP) is 1,732 species: they are listed in Appendix 13.1. The total numbers of the eight groups of bugs recorded on the Edge is summarised in Table 13.1. The best-represented are the harvestmen, with their total accounting for 44 per cent of the British species; the least represented are the Hymenoptera, at 1.7 per cent. As a whole, the groups given in Table 13.1 make up about 7 per cent of the British list of invertebrate species. The total of 1,732 species for Alderley Edge is by no means exhaustive because for many practical reasons only selected groups were surveyed and identi- fied. For instance, the soil fauna remains totally unknown. Given that over 2,135 species of insects and other inver tebrates have been found in just a single ordinary suburban garden in Leicester (although collected The insects and other invertebrates of Alderley Edge 221 Table 13.1.
