  • The First Record of the Longhorn Beetle Chlorophorus Herbstii (Brahm, 1790) (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) from Norway
    © Norwegian Journal of Entomology. 25 June 2012 The first record of the longhorn beetleChlorophorus herbstii (Brahm, 1790) (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) from Norway PER KRISTIAN SOLEVÅG & FRODE ØDEGAARD Solevåg, P.K. & Ødegaard, F. 2012. The first record of the longhorn beetle Chlorophorus herbstii (Brahm, 1790) (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) from Norway. Norwegian Journal of Entomology 59, 59–62. In this paper we present the first records of the longhorn beetleChlorophorus herbstii (Brahm, 1790) from Hole, Buskerud in Norway. The species was found in a southwest faced stone scree with a mixed composition of tree species, dominated by lime. Several rare and red listed species of Coleoptera and Hymenoptera were found at the same site, indicating a high variety of insects dependent on trees in different stages of decomposition. Ecology and distribution of the species is briefly discussed. Key words: Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Chlorophorus herbstii, Norway. Per Kristian Solevåg, Barlindveien 9D, NO-3408 Tranby, Norway.

The species is Hole: Nes (32V Ø571905 N6652015) 13 May mostly confined to lime Tilia( cordata), but is 2011. Further investigation in the same trunk occasionally found on oak (Quercus spp.) and later in the season revealed another two dead other tree species favoured by a warm climate specimens on the 25 June 2011.

  • A Systematic Study of the Family Rhynchitidae of Japan(Coleoptera
    Humans and Nature. No. 2, 1 ―93, March 1993 A Systematic Study of the Family Rhynchitidae of Japan (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea) * Yoshihisa Sawada Division of Phylogenetics, Museum of Nature and Human Activities, Hyogo, Yayoi~ga~oka 6, Sanda, 669~ 13 fapan Abstract Japanese RHYNCHITIDAE are systematically reviewed and revised. Four tribes, 17 genera and 62 species are recognized. Original and additional descriptions are given, with illustrations of and keys to their taxa. The generic and subgeneric names of Voss' system are reviewed from the viewpoint of nomenclature. At the species level, 12 new species Auletobius planifrons, Notocyrtus caeligenus, Involvulus flavus, I. subtilis, I. comix, I. aes, I. lupulus, Deporaus tigris, D. insularis, D. eumegacephalus, D. septemtrionalis and D. rhynchitoides are described and 1 species Engnamptus sauteri are newly recorded from Japan. Six species and subspecies names Auletes carvus, A. testaceus and A. irkutensis japonicus, Auletobius okinatuaensis, Aderorhinus pedicellaris nigricollis and Rhynchites cupreus purpuleoviolaceus are synonymized under Auletobius puberulus, A. jumigatus, A. uniformis, Ad. crioceroides and I. cylindricollis, respectively. One new name Deporaus vossi is given as the replacement name of the primally junior homonym D. pallidiventris Voss, 1957 (nec Voss, 1924). Generic and subgeneric classification is revised in the following points. The genus Notocyrtus is revived as an independent genus including subgenera Notocyrtus s. str., Exochorrhynchites and Heterorhynchites. Clinorhynckites and Habrorhynchites are newly treated as each independent genera. Caenorhinus is newly treated as a valid subgenus of the genus Deporaus. The genera Neocoenorrhinus and Piazorhynckites are newly synonymized under Notocyrtus and Agilaus, respectively, in generic and subgeneric rank. A subgeneric name, Aphlorhynehites subgen.

The aim of the study was the effect of the human-caused environ- mental changes on the structure of weevil fauna (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) as a result of the water dams construction. The research was carried out at six sites located in the area around the artifi cial Complex of Water Reservoirs Czorsztyn-Niedzica and Sromowce Wyżne in the southern Poland (Western Carpathians) in two periods: I (1992–1993), and II (1996–1997). The species composition, species richness, abundance, and species diversity indices varied signifi cantly between both periods. The serious changes were recorded for the studied fauna in a relatively short time. We assume that the general increase of the species richness and the fauna diversity profi le, as well as the popula- tion size of some stenotopic weevils may have been caused by temporary effect of the increased number of new biotopes under strong anthropogenic pressure and succession.

  • Provisioning Patterns and Choice of Prey in the Digger Wasp Cerceris Arenaria (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae): the Role of Prey Size
    NOTE Eur. J. Entomol. 102: 801–804, 2005 ISSN 1210-5759 Provisioning patterns and choice of prey in the digger wasp Cerceris arenaria (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae): the role of prey size CARLO POLIDORI, ROBERTO BOESI, FRANCESCO ISOLA and FRANCESCO ANDRIETTI Dipartimento di Biologia, Sezione di Zoologia e Citologia, Università degli Studi di Milano, via Celoria 26, 20133 Milano, Italy; e-mail: cpolidori @virgilio.it Key words. Cerceris arenaria, Hymenoptera, Crabronidae, behaviour, nest provisioning, prey, Curculionidae, hunting specialization Abstract. At a nest site in Northern Italy of females of the weevil-hunting digger wasp Cerceris arenaria L. (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) the provisioning activity and predator-prey relationship were investigated, in particular their specialization in choice of prey. Females were active from middle of June to end of July, and from 8.00 to 19.00. The wasps made provisioning flights throughout the day, mostly in late morning and early afternoon. Individual wasps generally only hunted for 1 or 2 prey species of all those available, maybe because of their higher abundance. The size of prey, which is positively correlated with that of the female wasps, seems to be the main factor determining choice of prey. The nature of the provisioning flights seems to be related to the size of the prey, being more frequent and shorter for smaller weevils. The correlation between prey and wasp biomass is discussed in relation to the size range of the wasps. INTRODUCTION “small” (about 0.7–1.2 mm), “medium” (1.3–1.9 mm) or “large” prey (2.0–2.7 mm). The accurately measured wasps and prey Recent studies on sphecoid wasps have focused on predator- came from an area close to the aggregation of nests.

Range of chorotypes and biogeography analysis of Latvian Curculionidae (except Scolytinae and Platypodinae) is presented in current paper. List of forecasted weevils species of Latvian fauna is compilled. Key words: Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Latvia, fauna, taxonomical structure, chorotypes, forecasted species.

Our objective was to analyze the spatial patterns of arthropod assemblages along a gradient of different stabilization levels, which represents the different stages of dune stabilization - from the shifting crest of the dune to the stabilized crusted interdune. The study was carried out at the sand dunes of the northwestern Negev in Israel. Data was collected using dry pitfall traps over two consecutive years during the spring along northern windward aspects.
