Forensic entomology can help to estimate the time elapsed since death by studying the necrophagous insects collected on a cadaver and its surroundings. In this paper forty eight species (369 specimens) are listed that belong to seven families: Silphidae (3 species), Staphylinidae (6 species), Histeridae (11 species), Anobiidae (4 species), Cleridae (6 species), Dermestidae (14 species), and Nitidulidae (4 species).

  • Ataenius Heinekeni Wollatson, 1894 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Aphodiinae)
    (A. heinekeni) Ataenius heinekeni Wollatson, 1894 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Aphodiinae) By: Edrick Lugo Millán & Verónica Acevedo Ramírez, Juliana Cardona, Nico Franz Geographic Range: Bahamas (Andros), Barbados (probably introduced), Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico (Quebradillas- east of Lago Guajataca, Bayamón, Mayagüez), St. Thomas. USA (SC-FLTX), Mexico to Brazil, introduced to Ascension and Madeira islands. Habitat: A. heinekeni beetles were beaten from leaves, collected under leaves and logs on hard ground, under live-oak trees, on old rice-field dams, under roadside debris and at coastal coppice trap. (Jerath,1960). They are mainly found in animal dung and decaying material. Physical Description: Ataenius is distinguished from other genera of the Eupariini by a combination of characters, among them head narrower than pronotum, anterior clypeus visible from above, pronotum laterally without denticles and at most sparsely to moderately ciliate, sides of pronotum not explanate, elytra often with basal margination, front tibiae with slanted anterior margin, middle and hind tibiae not flattened, uniformly wider from base, hind tibiae straight with outer apical angle spiniformly prolonged, tarsi normal with first segment often as long as the following three segments combined (SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY, no 154). Length 4.3.-5.5 mm. Usually reddish-brown to black, few with color patterns, some dorsally setose.. Head moderately convex, surface smooth, granulate, wrinkled, or rugose. Abdominal fluting is distinct. External sexual dimorphisms are subtle, if present. Life Stages: The life cycle of Ataenius beetles is not well known but apparently they are humus feeders in the soil, with a few species attracted to decaying vegetation and to animal dung.

  • 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.

  • Coleoptera: Leiodidae) from Jamaica and Puerto Rico, with a Discussion of Wing Dimorphism*
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carleton University's Institutional Repository NEW RECORDS AND SPECIES OF LEIODINAE AND CATOPINAE (COLEOPTERA: LEIODIDAE) FROM JAMAICA AND PUERTO RICO, WITH A DISCUSSION OF WING DIMORPHISM* BY STEWART B. PECK Department of Biology, Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario, K1S 5B6, Canada Since my earlier reports on the Leiodidae of Jamaica and Puerto Rico (Peck, 1970, 1972), I have had the opportunity to spend an additional 13 weeks in field work on these islands. In Jamaica this was from mid-December to mid-January, 1972-1973, and from late July to early September, 1974. In Puerto Rico it was from early to late May, 1973, and a week in June, 1974. This has resulted in new data on the leiodids of these islands, which are presented here. Ad- ditional data and information on forest habitat sites may be found in Peck and Kukalova-Peck (1975), and on cave sites in Peck (1974, 1975). Methods and materials are similar to those utilized for my earlier papers. Collections were primarily made in forests with pitfall traps baited with carrion and human dung (Newton and Peck, 1975); by Berlese-Tullgren funnel extraction of arthropods from sifted forest litter, and from bat guano accumulations in caves. In this work, 259 kg (770 liters) of sifted forest litter were processed for Jamaica and 93 kg (171 liters) for Puerto Rico, in addition to many other extractions from samples of bat guano. Most of the arthropod residues from these collections are deposited with the Field Mu- seum (Chicago).

  • Larvae of Ataenius (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae
    Eur. J. Entomol. 96: 57—68, 1999 ISSN 1210-5759 Larvae ofAtaenius (Coleóptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae): Generic characteristics and species descriptions José R. VERDÚ and E duardo GALANTE Departamento de Ciencias Ambientales y Recursos Naturales, Universidad de Alicante, E-03080 Alicante, Spain Key words.Scarabaeidae, Aphodiinae, Ataenius, larvae, description, key, dung beetles, turfgrass beetles, taxonomy Abstract. We compared the larval morphology of the genera Ataenius and Aphodius. The third larval instars of five Ataenius species: Ataenius opatrinus Harold, A. picinus Harold, A. platensis (Blanchard), A. simulator Harold and A. strigicauda Bates, are described or redescribed and illustrated. The most important morphological characteristics of the larvae of Ataenius are found in the respiratory plate of thoracic spiracle, the setation of venter of the last abdominal segment, the setation of the epicranial region and the morphology of the epipharynx. A key to larvae of the known species of Ataenius is included. INTRODUCTION del Sacramento (Uruguay). For the purpose of laboratory studies, a total of 10 to 20 adult specimens of each species were The genus Ataenius Harold comprises 320 species, of kept in cylindrical plastic breeding cages (20 cm high, 10 cm which 228 species are found in America, 49 in Australia, wide) with moist soil and dry cow dung from which they had 11 in Africa, 6 in East Asia, 2 in Madagascar, and single been collected.

Of the 4,500 moth species found in the state, Steve has confirmed close to 1,200 on the property, and he isn't done yet! He found one of the biggest populations of the endangered Papaipema silphii moths (Silphium borer) in the state as well as 36 species of Catocola moths (underwings), them.

HANDBOOKS FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF BRITISH INSECTS The aim of this series of publications is to provide illustrated keys to the whole of the British Insects (in so far as this is possible), in ten volumes, as follows : I. Part 1. General Introduction. Part 9. Ephemeroptera. , 2. Thysanura. 10. Odonata. , 3. Protura. , 11. Thysanoptera. 4. Collembola. , 12. Neuroptera. , 5. Dermaptera and , 13. Mecoptera. Orthoptera. , 14. Trichoptera. , 6. Plecoptera. , 15. Strepsiptera. , 7. Psocoptera. , 16. Siphonaptera. , 8. Anoplura. 11. Hemiptera. Ill. Lepidoptera. IV. and V. Coleoptera. VI. Hymenoptera : Symphyta and Aculeata. VII. Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea. VIII. Hymenoptera : Cynipoidea, Chalcidoidea, and Serphoidea. IX. Diptera: Nematocera and Brachycera. X. Diptera: Cyclorrhapha. Volumes 11 to X will be divided into parts of convenient size, but it is not possible to specify in advance the taxonomic content of each part. Conciseness and cheapness are main objectives in this new series, and each part will be the work of a specialist, or of a group of specialists.
