Scott A SYNOPSIS OF THE GENERA OF NEOTROPICAL CARABIDAE (INSECTA: COLEOPTERA) HANS REICHARDT1 Museu de Zoologia Universidade de Sto Paulo Quaestiones Entomologicae Sab Paulo, Brasil 13: 346-493, 1977 The species of Neotropical Carabidae (including traditional carabids, as well as cicindelids, rhysodids and paussids) are grouped in 336 genera, 50 tribes, and nine subfamilies. Additional ranks recognized, where appropriate, are subtribe, group, and subgenus. Keys are provided to the adult stage for taxa of supraspecific rank, except the following: genera of Clivinina (Scari- tini); sub tribes and genera of Trechini; subtribes and genera of Pterostichini; and subtribes of Lebiini. For each taxon, the geographical range is described in terms of continental and poli­ tical boundaries, numbers of included lower-level taxa are indicated, and references useful for identification are presented. The following changes are proposed: Ardistomiellus Kult, 1950 is made a junior synonym of Semiardistomis Kult, 1950; Reichardtula Whitehead, new name, replaces Eupalamus Schmidt-Goebel, 1846 (not Wesmael, 1845); Macracanthus Chaudoir, 1846 is ranked as a genus rather than as a subgenus o/Masoreus Dejean, 1828; and Ophryognathus Chaudoir, 1876 is included as a subgenus of Macracanthus. Seven groups of tribes represented in the Neotropical Region are recognized, based on distribution patterns: exclusively Neotro­ pical (six tribes); Inabrazilian (Old World Tropics, and tropical South America —10 tribes); Australian-South American (three tribes); Holarctic (northern groups that are localized prin­ cipally at higher elevations in northern Middle America — five tribes); Holarctic-South Ameri­ can (Trachypachini only); pan-tropical (exclusively or predominantly in the tropics of the world, including the Australian Region — five tribes); and world-wide (on all continents, ex­ cept Antarctica — 19 tribes). In the West Indies, the family Carabidae is represented by 24 tri­ bes, of which seven (Cicindelini, Scaritini, Rhysodini, Bembidiini, Pterostichini, Harpalini, and Lebiini) have more than a dozen species there. Os Carabidae [inclusive cicindelideos, risodideos e paussideos) neotropicais sao reunidos em 336 geJieros, 50 tribos e 9 subfamilias. O presente trabalho inclui chaves para imagos a nivel supra-especifico, exceto: ge'neros de Clivinina (Scaritini) e de Pelmatellina (Harpalini); subtribos e ge'neros de Trechini e de Pterostichini: subtribos de Lebiini. Dd-se para cada taxon: distribuicao geogrdfica em termos de limites continentals e polttlcos; numero de categorias imedlatamente inferiores; refer- gncias de utiltdade para identificacoes. Propoem-se as mudancas seguintes: Ardistomiellus Kult, 1950 se converte em sindn­ imo secunddrio de Semiardistomis Kult, 1950; Reichardtula Whitehead, nome novo, suplanta Eupalamus Schmidt-Goebel, 1846 (nao Wesmael, 1845): Macracanthus Chaudoir, 1846, classifica-se como ge'nero e nao subge'nero de Masoreus Dejean, 1828, e Ophryognathus Chaudoir, 1876 se inclui como subggnero de Macracanthus. Com base nos padroes de distribuicao, reconhecem-se sete grupos de tribos na Regiao Neotropical: exclusivamente neotropicais (6 tribos); Inabrasilianas (tropicos do Velho Mundo e da America do Sul, 10 tribos); Australiano-sul-amerlcanas (3 tribos); Holdrtlcas (grupos setentrionais localizados principalmente nas altas altitudes da A me'rica Central, 5 tribos); Holdrtico-sul-americanas (s6 Trachypachini); Pan-tropicais (exclusiva ou predominantemente nos trdpicos do globo, incluindo a Regiao Australiana, 9 tribos). Nas Antilhas os carabideos estao representados por 24 tribos e apenas 7 (Cicindelini, Scaritini, Rhysodini, Bembidiini, Pterostichini, Harpalini, and Lebiini) com mais de uma duzia de espicies. Las especies de Carabidae neotropicales (tncluyendo cardbidos tradicionales, asl como ciclndelidos, risddidos y paiisldos) estdn agrupados en 349 ge'neros, 53 tribus y ocho subfamilias. Subtribus y subge'neros estdn reconocidos ademds reconocidos ademds como tangos adicionales para los lugares apropiados. Se proveen claves para el estado adulto de taxa de rango supra- especifico, con excepcidn de los siguientes: ge'neros de Pelmatellina (Harpalini); y subtribus de Lebiini. La extensidn geogrdf­ ica se describe para cada taxon en tdrminos de limites continentales y politicos, se indica el AUmero de taxa de bajo nivel in- cluidos y se mencionan referencias Utiles para la identificacidn. Se proponen los seguienter cambio: Ardistomiellus Kult, 1950 se usa como un sindnimo secundario de Semiardistomis Kult, 1950. El nuevo nombre Reichardtula Whitehead reemplaza Eup­ alamus Schmidt-Goebel, 1846 (y no Wesmael, 1845); Macracanthus Chaudoir, 1846 se coloca como ge'nero en vez del subge'n- 1. Deceased 348 Reichardt ero de MasoreusDejean, 1828, y Ophryognathus Chaudoir, 1876 se incluye como el subge'nero de Macracanthus. Se reconocen 7 grupos de tribus representadas en la Regidn Neotropical, basados en patrones distintos: exclusivamente neotropicales (seis tribusj; inabresianos (trdpicos del Viejo Mundo y Sudame'rica tropical -10 tribus): Australianos-Sudamericanos (3 tribus); holdrticos (grupos del norte localizados principalement a altitudes mayores en el norte de Centro America - 5 tribus); Hol- drticos - Sudamericanos (Trachypachini, unicamente); pan-tropical (exclusivo o predominante en los trdpicos del mundo, incluyendo la regidn australiana - S tribus); y mundial (en todos los continentes. excepto Antdrctica - 22 tribus). En las Antil- las, lafamilia Carabidae estd representada por 24 tribus, de las cuales unicamente siete (Cicindelini, Scaritini, Rhysodini, Bern- bidiini, Pterostichini, Harpalini, and Lebiini) cuentan con mds de una docena de especies en ese lugar.

Ball) The original manuscript on which this paper is based was received for comments from its author in January, 1976. During the fall of that year, he and I were planning to undertake a joint venture in study of carabid systematics, and this included completion of a treatment of the genera of Neotropical Carabidae. It was not intended that I should be co-author of this segment of the work: rather I was to offer advice and criticism. Regrettably, Hans Reichardt was killed in a tragic automobile accident in July, 1976, and that ended our plans. The tragedy would be compounded if the general synopsis of Neotropical Carabidae died with its author. As I received it, the work was incomplete. What was to be done? Lacking both the necessary detailed knowledge of South American carabids and time that would be required to become sufficiently knowledgeable to complete the manuscript as Hans would have been able to do, I undertook to make those additions and modifications that I knew would be im­ provements. This included arranging for the illustrations, whose sources are duly acknowled­ ged. I also added information about a few groups that enter northern Mexico, to increase the Genera of Neotropical Carabidae 349 range of coverage, and solicited and received advice and assistance from Terry L. Erwin and Donald R. Whitehead. Our additions are indicated in the text by our initials, in square brackets. Generally, though, I restricted my contributions to those that would be made by a conscientious editor. Thus, this paper is less than perfect, but much better than what was previously availa­ ble to those interested in Neotropical Carabidae. The manuscript was written in English, and so it has been published in that language. How­ ever, to increase its usefulness to Latin Americans, a Portugese translation is provided of the abstract and to the key to Tribes. I hope that this publication is of help to all of those who wish to identify Neotropical cara- bids. But, above all, I hope that it may encourage and inspire some young South American to carry on the work that was brought to a halt with the untimely death of my friend and respec­ ted colleague. INTRODUCTION This work was started about four years ago, and summarizes the systematics of the family, with keys to subfamilies and tribes, a discussion of the individual tribes, with keys where pos­ sible to genera and a list of genera with comments on bibliography and known species, includ­ ing the scant information on immature stages and way of life. Originally the work was intended to be restricted to Brazil, but this geographical limitation is not justified, and I have extended it to include the whole of the Neotropical Region. Its importance is obvious. The family Carabidae is one of

  • The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution
    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

Los coleópteros de la familia Carabidae conforman gran parte de la biodiversidad de los suelos de los agroecosistemas y por eso son buenos organismos modelo para estudiar la composición y la estructura de las comunidades. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron: a) analizar la diversidad de Carabidae (riqueza, actividad, composición y estructura del ensamble) en ambientes con distinto uso antrópico; b) conocer la asociación de las especies de Carabidae con la vegetación herbácea; c) analizar la proporción de especies de acuerdo a la cantidad de ambientes que ocupan, su capacidad de dispersión por medio del vuelo y su sinantropía; d) identificar potenciales especies típicas de los distintos ambientes, y e) registrar la presencia de larvas. El estudio se realizó en un agroecosistema de la Laguna Nahuel Rucá (37°37’04’’ S - 57°25’16’’ O). Se seleccionaron distintos ambientes de muestreo: tres ambientes de bosque, tres ambientes abiertos y un ambiente mixto, que fueron muestreados mensualmente mediante trampas "pitfall" a lo largo de un año. Se elaboró un índice para clasificar el grado de modificación antrópica de cada ambiente. Los valores más altos de riqueza se observaron en los ambientes de bosque.

  • Coleoptera: Carabidae) Diversity
    VEGETATIVE COMMUNITIES AS INDICATORS OF GROUND BEETLE (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE) DIVERSITY BY ALAN D. YANAHAN THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Dr. Steven J. Taylor, Chair, Director of Research Adjunct Assistant Professor Sam W. Heads Associate Professor Andrew V. Suarez ABSTRACT Formally assessing biodiversity can be a daunting if not impossible task. Subsequently, specific taxa are often chosen as indicators of patterns of diversity as a whole. Mapping the locations of indicator taxa can inform conservation planning by identifying land units for management strategies. For this approach to be successful, though, land units must be effective spatial representations of the species assemblages present on the landscape. In this study, I determined whether land units classified by vegetative communities predicted the community structure of a diverse group of invertebrates—the ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae). Specifically, that (1) land units of the same classification contained similar carabid species assemblages and that (2) differences in species structure were correlated with variation in land unit characteristics, including canopy and ground cover, vegetation structure, tree density, leaf litter depth, and soil moisture. The study site, the Braidwood Dunes and Savanna Nature Preserve in Will County, Illinois is a mosaic of differing land units. Beetles were sampled continuously via pitfall trapping across an entire active season from 2011–2012. Land unit characteristics were measured in July 2012. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordinated the land units by their carabid assemblages into five ecologically meaningful clusters: disturbed, marsh, prairie, restoration, and savanna.

  • A Genus-Level Supertree of Adephaga (Coleoptera) Rolf G
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Organisms, Diversity & Evolution 7 (2008) 255–269 www.elsevier.de/ode A genus-level supertree of Adephaga (Coleoptera) Rolf G. Beutela,Ã, Ignacio Riberab, Olaf R.P. Bininda-Emondsa aInstitut fu¨r Spezielle Zoologie und Evolutionsbiologie, FSU Jena, Germany bMuseo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid, Spain Received 14 October 2005; accepted 17 May 2006 Abstract A supertree for Adephaga was reconstructed based on 43 independent source trees – including cladograms based on Hennigian and numerical cladistic analyses of morphological and molecular data – and on a backbone taxonomy. To overcome problems associated with both the size of the group and the comparative paucity of available information, our analysis was made at the genus level (requiring synonymizing taxa at different levels across the trees) and used Safe Taxonomic Reduction to remove especially poorly known species. The final supertree contained 401 genera, making it the most comprehensive phylogenetic estimate yet published for the group. Interrelationships among the families are well resolved. Gyrinidae constitute the basal sister group, Haliplidae appear as the sister taxon of Geadephaga+ Dytiscoidea, Noteridae are the sister group of the remaining Dytiscoidea, Amphizoidae and Aspidytidae are sister groups, and Hygrobiidae forms a clade with Dytiscidae. Resolution within the species-rich Dytiscidae is generally high, but some relations remain unclear. Trachypachidae are the sister group of Carabidae (including Rhysodidae), in contrast to a proposed sister-group relationship between Trachypachidae and Dytiscoidea. Carabidae are only monophyletic with the inclusion of a non-monophyletic Rhysodidae, but resolution within this megadiverse group is generally low. Non-monophyly of Rhysodidae is extremely unlikely from a morphological point of view, and this group remains the greatest enigma in adephagan systematics.

  • (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from Madeira Island
    New data on the spatial distribution of endemic ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from Madeira Island MÁRIO BOIEIRO, MAB STUDY GROUP* & ARTUR R.M. SERRANO Boieiro, M., MAB Study Group & A.R.M. Serrano (in press). New data on the spatial distribution of endemic ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from Madeira Island. Arquipelago. Life and Marine Sciences 29: 15-23. Based on standardised sampling methods covering a large fraction of native forest on Ma- deira Island, new distribution data is reported for 33 species of endemic ground beetles. Most of these species have been found in new localities and their distribution range is now better known. Dromius angustus alutaceus Wollaston, 1857 was "rediscovered" after more than fifty years since the last known record and two rare Philorhizus species (P. conicipen- nis (Fauvel, 1905) and P. vieirai Mateu, 1957) were also located. Furthermore, two other arboreal endemics (Olisthopus ericae Wollaston, 1854 and O. maderensis Wollaston, 1854) were recorded from many new localities. This work represents a considerable improvement of the knowledge on the distribution of ground beetle species endemic to Madeira, hence contributing to future management plans targeting the conservation of endemic biota.
