SYSTEMATICS, PHYLOGENY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF NEW WORLD WEEVILS TRADITIONALLY OF THE TRIBE CLEONINI (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE; CLEONINAE) Robert Samuel Anderson Department of Entomology University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta, T6G 2E3 Quaestiones Entomologicae CANADA 23:431-709 1987 ABSTRACT A survey of representatives of generic-group names in Cleoninae and consideration of their phylogenetic relationships indicates four genera are represented in the New World. These are: Cleonis Dejean (introduced; 1 species); Stephanocleonus Motschulsky (Holarctic, northern; 6 species including S. confusus n. sp. [type locality, Black Hills, South Dakota], S. immaculatus n. sp. [type locality, Fort McMurray, Alberta], S. parshus n. sp. [type locality, Chalk River, Ontario], and S. stenothorax n. sp. [type locality, Bluefish Caves, Yukon Territory]); Apleurus Chevrolat (southwestern North America, arid lands; 8 species); and, Cleonidius Casey (eastern and western North America, semi-arid and arid lands; 19 species including C. eustictorrhinus n.sp. [type locality, Sacramento, California], C. infrequens n. sp. [type locality, Scott City, Kansas], and, C. notolomus n. sp. [type locality, Grant County, New Mexico]). Cleonidius is hypothesized to be phylogenetically more closely related to traditional Lixini rather than Cleonini and present tribal classification of Cleoninae is regarded as unsatisfactory. The following new generic-group synonymies are presented: Lixus Fabricius (=Epimeces Billberg [type species Curculio filiformis Fabricius, here designated]); Stephanocleonus Motschulsky (^Coniocleonus Motschulsky); Apleurus Chevrolat (^Centrocleonus LeConte, Cleonopsis LeConte, Cleonaspis LeConte, and Dinocleus Casey); and, Cleonidius Casey (^Lixestus Reitter). The following information is given in detail for each of Cleonis, Stephanocleonus, Apleurus (Gibbostethus) n. subg. (type species, Dinocleus hystrix Fall by monotypy), Apleurus (Apleurus), and Cleonidius: synonymic list, notes about synonymy, diagnosis, description, list of included species, and a discussion of phylogenetic relationships. Keys to species of North American Stephanocleonus and Apleurus, and world Cleonidius, are presented. The following information is given in detail for each species considered: synonymic list, notes about synonymy, problems in recognition, description, distribution, natural history information, and chorological relationships. Lixus mixtus LeConte is a junior homonym and is replaced with Cleonidius longinasus, new name. The following new species-group synonymies are presented: Apleurus lutulentus (LeConte) (^Cleonus pulvereus LeConte, Apleurus fossus Chevrolat, and Dinocleus bryanti Van Dyke); Apleurus porosus (LeConte)(=Dinocleus farctus Casey); Apleurus angularis (LeConte) ( = Dinocleus denticollis Casey and Dinocleus porcatus Casey); Apleurus jacobinus (Casey) (^Centrocleonus pilosus LeConte and Cleonus (Dinocleus) capillosus Csiki); Apleurus Present address: Department of Entomology, Texas A & M University, College Station, TX 77843, U. S. A. 432 Anderson albovestitus (Casey) (= Cleonus molitor LeConte, Dinocleus densus Casey, Dinocleus wickhami Casey, Dinocleus interruptus Casey, Dinocleus mexicanus Casey, and Cleonus (Dinocleus) structor Csiki); Apleurus saginatus (Casey) (^Dinocleus dentatus Champion); Cleonidius subcylindricus Casey (=Cleonus (Cleonidius) graniferus Casey); Cleonidius texanus (LeConte) (= Cleonus (Cleonidius) circumductus Casey); Cleonidius frontalis (LeConte) (=Cleonus sparsus LeConte and Cleonus (Cleonidius) stratus Csiki); Cleonidius poricollis (Mannerheim) (^Cleonus (Cleonidius) lobigerinus Casey and Cleonus (Cleonidius) kirbyi Casey); Cleonidius boucardi (Chevrolat) (=Cleonus carinicollis LeConte and Cleonus (Cleonidius) lecontellus Csiki); and, Cleonidius trivittatus (Say) (=Cleonus inornatus LeConte and Cleonus (Cleonidius) bicarinatus Casey). Lixus californicus Motschulsky is considered a nomen dubium. Only for species of Apleurus and Cleonidius are reconstructed phytogenies presented based on analyses of 31 characters in Apleurus and 22 characters in Cleonidius. Apleurus is hypothesized to be the monophyletic sister genus of the Palearctic Chromoderus. In Apleurus, two monophyletic subgenera are recognized. These are Gibbostethus (I species, A. hystrix,) and Apleurus s. s. (7 species). Within Apleurus s. s. included species and hypothesized phylogenetic relationships are as follows: ((((A. albovestitus + A. saginatusj + ((A. jacobinus + A. angularisj + A. porosusjj + A. lutulentusj + A. aztecusj. Cleonidius is monophyletic and hypothesized to comprise an unresolved trichotomy with the Palearctic Lixus (Lixoglyptus) and Cylindropterus. Four monophyletic species groups are recognized in Cleonidius. Along with constituent species and hypothesized phylogenetic relationships, these are: C. erysimi group, (((C texanus + C. longinasusj + C. subcylindricusj + C. pleuralis + (C erysimi + C. eustictorrhinus)); C. americanus group, ((((C. puberulus + C. infrequens) + (C. collaris + C. notolomusJJ + C. canescensj +(C. americanus + C. frontalisJJ; C. poricollis group, (C poricollis + C. calandroidesj; and C. boucardi group, (((C. placidus + C. quadrilineatusj + C. trivittatusj + C. boucardij. Phylogenetic relationships of groups are (((C. boucardi group + C. poricollis group) + C. americanus group) + C. erysimi group). Phylogenetic relationships of the Nearctic species component of Cleonidius are unresolved but the latter is likely sister to the Palearctic species component. Both Apleurus and Cleonidius are hypothesized to have entered North America in savanna or grassland habitats (or their precursors) across Beringia during late Eocene time. In North America, primary diversification has taken place in the arid lands of the southwestern United States although two species of Cleonidius are found in coastal regions of eastern North America. In both genera there appears to be an initial vicariance of lineages, on Compositae, in grassland or mesquite-grassland habitats between California, central Mexico, and the southern Rocky Mountains. Further speciation events in Apleurus appear due primarily to shifts to new, apotypic habitat types at differing altitudes brought about by increased aridity during the later Tertiary; host plant shifts are not a factor because Apleurus species are all associated with Compositae. Host plant shifts, however, primarily between Leguminosae-Rosaceae and likely also Compositae-Cruciferae, and within-habitat-type allopatric speciation appear to predominate as the causes of further speciation in Cleonidius, most species of which remain associated with plesiotypic less-arid habitat types. Habitat shifts promoting speciation in Cleonidius are evident, but are not as associated with formation of increasingly arid habitats as in Apleurus. Evolutionary trends in Apleurus and Cleonidius are discussed and patterns and predictions of biogeographic or evolutionary interest summarized and presented for examination for New World Cleonini 433 general applicability.

    APPENDIX D.2 Plant Survey Memorandum Athos Memo Report To: Aspen Environmental Group From: Lehong Chow, Ironwood Consulting, Inc. Date: April 3, 2019 Re: Athos Supplemental Spring 2019 Botanical Surveys This memo report presents the methods and results for supplemental botanical surveys conducted for the Athos Solar Energy Project in March 2019 and supplements the Biological Resources Technical Report (BRTR; Ironwood 2019) which reported on field surveys conducted in 2018. BACKGROUND Botanical surveys were previously conducted in the spring and fall of 2018 for the entirety of the project site for the Athos Solar Energy Project (Athos). However, due to insufficient rain, many plant species did not germinate for proper identification during 2018 spring surveys. Fall surveys in 2018 were conducted only on a reconnaissance-level due to low levels of rain. Regional winter rainfall from the two nearest weather stations showed rainfall averaging at 0.1 inches during botanical surveys conducted in 2018 (Ironwood, 2019). In addition, gen-tie alignments have changed slightly and alternatives, access roads and spur roads have been added. PURPOSE The purpose of this survey was to survey all new additions and re-survey areas of interest including public lands (limited to portions of the gen-tie segments), parcels supporting native vegetation and habitat, and windblown sandy areas where sensitive plant species may occur. The private land parcels in current or former agricultural use were not surveyed (parcel groups A, B, C, E, and part of G). METHODS Survey Areas: The area surveyed for biological resources included the entirety of gen-tie routes (including alternates), spur roads, access roads on public land, parcels supporting native vegetation (parcel groups D and F), and areas covered by windblown sand where sensitive species may occur (portion of parcel group G).

Mature larvae and pupae of Coniocleonus (Plagiographus) nigrosutura- tus (Goeze, 1777) (Curculionidae: Lixinae: Cleonini) are described and compared with three other cleonine taxa with known larvae. The biology of the species was studied in Romania, Hungary and Slovakia. Common Stork’s-bill (Erodium cicu- tarium) (Geraniaceae) is identi¿ ed as a host plant of both larvae and adults of this weevil. The weevil is very likely monophagous, and previous records of thyme (Thymus sp., Lamiaceae) as the host plant hence appear incorrect. Coniocleonus nigrosuturatus prefers dry, sunny places in grassland habitats, with sparse vegeta- tion, bare ground and patchily growing host plants. Overwintering beetles emerge in early spring (March), feed and mate on the host plants. The highest activity of adults was observed from mid-April to mid-May.

  • Holocene Palaeoenvironmental Reconstruction Based on Fossil Beetle Faunas from the Altai-Xinjiang Region, China
    Holocene palaeoenvironmental reconstruction based on fossil beetle faunas from the Altai-Xinjiang region, China Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of London By Tianshu Zhang February 2018 Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London Declaration of Authorship I Tianshu Zhang hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 25/02/2018 1 Abstract This project presents the results of the analysis of fossil beetle assemblages extracted from 71 samples from two peat profiles from the Halashazi Wetland in the southern Altai region of northwest China. The fossil assemblages allowed the reconstruction of local environments of the early (10,424 to 9500 cal. yr BP) and middle Holocene (6374 to 4378 cal. yr BP). In total, 54 Coleoptera taxa representing 44 genera and 14 families have been found, and 37 species have been identified, including a new species, Helophorus sinoglacialis. The majority of the fossil beetle species identified are today part of the Siberian fauna, and indicate cold steppe or tundra ecosystems. Based on the biogeographic affinities of the fossil faunas, it appears that the Altai Mountains served as dispersal corridor for cold-adapted (northern) beetle species during the Holocene. Quantified temperature estimates were made using the Mutual Climate Range (MCR) method. In addition, indicator beetle species (cold adapted species and bark beetles) have helped to identify both cold and warm intervals, and moisture conditions have been estimated on the basis of water associated species.
