Woodruff Florida State Collection of Arthropods Florida Department ofAgriculture and Consumer Services P.O. Box 147100 Gainesville, Florida 32614-7100 ABSTRACT. With the descriptionof Brachypsectra viva,fosile n. sp., from the Cabo Rojo desert area of Hispaniola, the beetle family Brachypsectridae now contains 4 described species. The family was originally known from the Dominican Republic by Miocene amber fossils of larvae. Genitalia are illustrated for the first time for the family. Relationships of the family within the Elateroidea are briefly discussed. Introduction Head (Fig. 1,2,7,8).

G. de viedmal and M. L. els son' Several works on the order Coleoptera have appeared in recent years, some of them creating new superfamilies, others modifying the constitution of these or creating new families, finally others are genera1 revisions of the order. The authors believe that the current classification of this order, incorporating these changes would prove useful. The following outline is based mainly on Crowson (1960, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1971, 1972, 1973) and Crowson and Viedma (1964). For characters used on classification see Viedma (1972) and for family synonyms Abdullah (1969). Major features of this conspectus are the rejection of the two sections of Adephaga (Geadephaga and Hydradephaga), based on Bell (1966) and the new sequence of Heteromera, based mainly on Crowson (1966), with adaptations.

(type species) from the Middle East (Iran) and A. mirifica sp. n. from Middle Asia (Tajikistan) are described. The genus Asiopsectra gen. n., in contrast to the genus Brachypsectra, is characterized by the 12-segmented bilamellate antennae, the very large and subcontiguous antennal fossae, the strongly raised supra-antennal keels, the very narrow mandibles, the presence of small “window” punctures on the elytra, the lack of keels along the posterior pronotal angles, and only a small patch of excretory hairs at the posterior edge of abdominal ventrite 5. A revised diagnosis for the family Brachypsectridae is given. Keywords Coleoptera; Elateroidea; Brachypsectridae; new taxa; Palaearctic Introduction The infraorder Elateriformia includes many families whose members manifest many similar trends of structural transformations making it difficult both to define family attribution of some groups, and to divide this enormous group into distinct subgroups with reasonable taxonomic significance of different ranks (Lawrence 1988; Lawrence et al.

(type species Tyrannothroscus rex n.sp.) and Pseudothroscus n. gen. (type species Pseudothroscus balticus n. sp.). Four species are described from Baltic amber: Tyrannothroscus rex n. sp., Pseudothroscus balticus n. sp., Potergus superbus n. sp. and Trixagus parvulus n. sp. Pactopus burmensis n. sp. is described from Burmese amber. A phylogenetic analysis of the known throscid genera is performed. Aulonothroscus Horn and Trixagus Kugelann are shown to be sister-groups, the sister-group of this clade is the genus Pactopus Horn and the sister group of these three genera is the genus Potergus Bonvouloir. The oldest previ- ously known throscids were species belonging to the genera Rhomboaspis Kirejtshuk & Kovalev and Potergosoma Kire- jtshuk & Kovalev, both from Lebanese Amber, 125–135 Mya. The present analysis shows that the extinct Baltic amber genera Jaira Muona and Pseudothroscus belong to clades at least as old as the Lebanese fossils. The Burmese amber fossil Pactopus burmensis, 99 Mya, is considerably older than any of the previously known species belonging to the four extant genera: Pactopus, Potergus, Aulonothroscus or Trixagus.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Australian species of Notodascillus Carter are revised based on examination of available type material and extensive collections. Three very closely related species have been recognised: N. brevicornis (Macleay), N. sublineatus Carter and N. iviei sp. n. Detailed generic and species descriptions, key to the species and distribution data are provided. Key words: Coleoptera, Dascillidae, taxonomy, new species, Australia Introduction Dascillidae are a small and rarely studied family that, jointly with the Rhipiceridae, form the superfamily Dascilloidea among the polyphagan beetles. In the past Dascillidae were defined very broadly and included taxa now recognized as families (e.g., Artematopodidae, Cneoglossidae, Eulichadidae, Brachypsectridae, Psephenidae and Scirtidae) or taxa now placed within other families (e.g., Platydascillinae and Haematoides Fairmaire to Byturidae, Singularodaemon Pic to Ptilodactylidae, Pseudokarumia Pic to Telegeusidae, Cydistus to Phengodidae incertae sedis, etc.) (Pic 1914; Crowson 1971; Lawrence 2005).

  • Unlocking the Mystery of the Mid-Cretaceous Mysteriomorphidae
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Unlocking the mystery of the mid‑Cretaceous Mysteriomorphidae (Coleoptera: Elateroidea) and modalities in transiting from gymnosperms to angiosperms David Peris1,8*, Robin Kundrata2,8*, Xavier Delclòs3, Bastian Mähler1, Michael A. Ivie4, Jes Rust1 & Conrad C. Labandeira5,6,7 The monospecifc family Mysteriomorphidae was recently described based on two fossil specimens from the Late Cretaceous Kachin amber of northern Myanmar. The family was placed in Elateriformia incertae sedis without a clear list of characters that defne it either in Elateroidea or in Byrrhoidea. We report here four additional adult specimens of the same lineage, one of which was described using a successful reconstruction from a CT-scan analysis to better observe some characters. The new specimens enabled us to considerably improve the diagnosis of Mysteriomorphidae. The family is defnitively placed in Elateroidea, and we hypothesize its close relationship with Elateridae. Similarly, there are other fossil families of beetles that are exclusively described from Cretaceous ambers. These lineages may have been evolutionarily replaced by the ecological revolution launched by angiosperms that introduced new co-associations with taxa. These data indicate a macroevolutionary pattern of replacement that could be extended to other insect groups. Recently, there have been instances of fossil beetles described from the mid Cretaceous that have included sev- eral studies illustrating the role beetles have played in the major transformation of the continental biota 1–6. Tis feld has expanded rapidly mostly because of Cretaceous amber studies that document a recent increase in the number of new fossil taxa of Coleoptera and, equally important, highly relevant paleoecological studies resulting in major macroevolutionary patterns 7,8.
