Philippine Carahidae (Col.) Collected by the Noona Dan Expedition Entomologiske Meddelelser 35 (1967) (Noona Dan Papers No. 47.) Philippine Carahidae (Col.) collected by the Noona Dan Expedition. By C. J. Louwerens (Hilversum). I have to thank Dr Borge Petersen (Universitetets Zoologiske Museum, Kobenhavn), who was kind enough as to submit to me for study the Carabidae collected by the Danish Noona Dan Ex­ pedition to the Philippines and the Bismarck Islands in 1961 and 1962 (Petersen 1966). I am much obliged too to Prof. P. J. Darlington Jr (Cambridge, U.S.A.), Ing. Jedlicka Arnost (Praha), Mr. R. D. Pope (British Museum, London), Dr Shun-ichi Ueno (Tokyo) and Prof. S. L. Straneo (Milano) for their kind help and advice, which they all readily gave me, when asked for. This paper contains the descriptions of two new species from the Philippines and an enumeration of all Philippine species col­ lected (except two species described by Straneo 1967), with a few notes as to geographical distribution, etc. A second paper will deal with the Carabidae brought home from the Bismarck Islands. The arrangement of the species examined is alphabetical. It is to be understood, that all specimens are collected in the second half of 1961, most of them caught by Mercury light or in Malaise traps.

The Phi­ lippine specimens (Fig. 1) are extremely like yokohamae in size Fig. 1. Armatocillenus yokohamae Bates, of Palawan, left side. as well in color, but most of them also bear an ill defined apical spot on the elytra. They differ only slightly in the shape of the pronotum. In yokohamae the pronotal anterior angles are more advanced and the sides of the pronotum a little more contracted behind. In my opinion the differences are of minor importance. Also in Japan.

This species is very much like yunnax Darl., originally describ­ ed from Dominican Republic by P. J. Darlington Jr (1939) and also occuring in New Guinea and the Aru Isl. (Darlington, 1962). Through the kindness of Prof. Darlington I was able to compare the specimens of the Philippines and the Bismarck Isl. with 2 paratypes of yunnax from Sanchez, Dominican Republic. After careful examination I could not find sufficient differences to re­ cognize two species. Nevertheless it is possible, that yunnax and singularis are different. According to Darlington (1962) yunnax is slightly larger than singularis, with more prominent eyes and relatively slightly wider prothoracic base. Tachys umbrosus Motch. (Bull. Soc. Imp. Nat.

  • Coleopteran Survey in the Kah-Nyawvillage ,Chaungzon
    Dagon University Commemoration of 25th Anniversary Silver Jubilee Research Journal 2019, Vol.9, No.2 245 Coleopteran survey in the Kah-nyawvillage ,Chaungzon Township, Mon State Nu NuTun1 Abstract A survey of beetle faunal occurrences and composition was studied in the Kah-nyawvillage,Chaungzon Township, Mon State during December 2017 to October 2018.Beetles were collected by standard trapping method and bare hand collection methods in only one site with two crops growing season. A total of 22 species of beetles representing 7 families of Cerambycidae, Chrysomelidae, Coccinellidae, Bolboceratidae, Carabidae, Scarabaeidae, and Hydrophilidae were recorded in this study. Among these families, family Coccinellidae was the most diverse beetles recorded in the study area, while the family Hydrophilidae ,Bolboceratidae and Cerambycidaewere the least diverse beetle recorded with one species only. Keywords: Coleoptera, beetles, growing season Introduction Insects are the largest group of animals in the world. The numbers of insects are more or less the same amount compared to the numbers of all other animals together. The beetles, described in the world are about four hundred thousand species and it is about 40% of total known insects of the world. One of the most distinctive features of the Coleoptera is the structure of the wings. Most beetles have four wings, with the front pair thickened, leathery or hard and brittle, and usually meeting in a straight line down the middle of the back and covering the hind wings (hence the order names coleo-sheath, ptera-wings). The hind wings are membranous, usually longer than the front wings, and when not in used are folded up under the front wings.

  • Current State of Knowledge on Wolbachia Infection Among Coleoptera: a Systematic Review
    Current state of knowledge on Wolbachia infection among Coleoptera: a systematic review Łukasz Kajtoch1 and Nela Kotásková2 1 Institute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals Polish Academy of Sciences, Krakow, Poland 2 Faculty of Science, University of Ostrava, Ostrava, Czech Republic ABSTRACT Background. Despite great progress in studies on Wolbachia infection in insects, the knowledge about its relations with beetle species, populations and individuals, and the effects of bacteria on these hosts, is still unsatisfactory. In this review we summarize the current state of knowledge about Wolbachia occurrence and interactions with Coleopteran hosts. Methods. An intensive search of the available literature resulted in the selection of 86 publications that describe the relevant details about Wolbachia presence among beetles. These publications were then examined with respect to the distribution and taxonomy of infected hosts and diversity of Wolbachia found in beetles. Sequences of Wolbachia genes (16S rDNA, ftsZ) were used for the phylogenetic analyses. Results. The collected publications revealed that Wolbachia has been confirmed in 204 beetle species and that the estimated average prevalence of this bacteria across beetle species is 38.3% and varies greatly across families and genera (0–88% infected members) and is much lower (c. 13%) in geographic studies. The majority of the examined and infected beetles were from Europe and East Asia. The most intensively studied have been two groups of herbivorous beetles: Curculionidae and Chrysomelidae. Coleoptera harbor Wolbachia belonging to three supergroups: F found in only three species, and A and B found in similar numbers of beetles (including some doubly infected); however Submitted 14 November 2017 the latter two were most prevalent in different families.

Keywords Anophthalmy, China, Guizhou Province, new species, troglobiomorphy Introduction Ptomaphagini is, after Leptodirini, the richest tribe of Cholevinae in species living in subterranean environment (caves or other subterranean habitats). Unlike Leptodi- rini, in which all species except a few dozen are anophthalmic, cave-dwelling species of Ptomaphagini are at most microphthalmic, a single species is fully anophthalmic. The tribe is presently divided into three subtribes: Baryodirina, Ptomaphagina, and Ptomaphaginina (Perreau 2000).

A plusieurs reprises, j'ai eu l'occasion de faire remarquer qu'il n'en etait rien. En effet, jusqu'ä ces dernieres annees, seules les cötes etaient relativement bien prospectees au point de vue zoologique et l'interieur des terres n'avait donne lieu qu'ä des recoltes limitees. Gräce aux recherches entreprises par Mr. Andre Villiers, sous les auspices de l'Institut Francais d' Afrique Noire, de Dakar, et gräce aussi aux recoltes de Mr. Maxime Lamotte dans La region du Mont Nimba, une explora- tion methodique de ces territoires se fait jour.

Sims Department of Entomology Smithsonian Institution Washington, D.C. 20560 U. S. A. Quaestiones Entomologicae 20:351-466 1984 ABSTRACT The fauna of the Greater Antilles was extensively sampled and studied by P.J. Darlington, Jr., beginning with his early field trips there in 1934 and ending with his paper on tropical island carabids in 1970. The Lesser Antilles and Bahamas have had far less attention; most islands have not yet been sampled. The following tribes are recorded within the geographic area covered by the present study, which includes the Greater and Lesser Antilles, Bahamas, and most smaller islands not on the continental shelf: Carabini; Megacephalini; "Cicindelini; Enceladini; Pseudomorphini; Scaritini; "Clivinini; Ozaenini; Brachinini; 'Rhysodini; Trechini; Pogonini; "Bembidiini; Morionini; *Pterostichini; Panagaeini; Callistini; Oodini; Licinini; 'Harpalini; Ctenodactylini; Perigonini; Lachnophorini; Cyclosomini; Masoreini; Pentagonicini; Odacanthini; 'Lebiini; *Zuphiini; Galeritini. The tribes whose names are marked with an asterisk each have more than a dozen species thus far recorded from the West Indies. The tribes which occur in this area are also extensively distributed in the world, and are well represented in the Neotropical Region.
