Leaf beetles of Kayseri province with new and interesting data for Turkey: Part I - Subfamilies Donaciinae to Galerucinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Munis Entomology & Zoology, 16 (Supplement): 1557-1620] ABSTRACT: The paper presents updated fauna of Donaciinae, Criocerinae, Clytrinae, Cryptocephalinae, Eumolpinae, Chrysomelinae and Galerucinae subfamilies of Kayseri province with new and interesting data. In the present study, a total of 2647 leaf beetle specimens were collected and evaluated from various localities in Kayseri province in 2015- 2019. Accordingly, the current fauna of Kayseri province includes 103 species (including previously known species) of 32 genera belonging to these subfamilies. With the present study, 83 species which 45 of them are also previously known species, are studied and evaluated, thus, the known fauna of Kayseri province was increased 37 percent. A total of 37 taxa which 17 of them are the little-known or rare taxa, are recorded as new to Kayseri province, while 3 species as Donacia kraatzi Weise, Smaragdina judaica (Lefevre) and Nymphius stylifer (Weise) are reported from Central Anatolian region of Turkey for the first time. In addition, Labidostomis korbi Weise, 1902 is objectively recorded for the first time after about 120 years from its original description, and Smaragdina affinis affinis (Illiger, 1794) is recorded for the second time after 46 years from its first record in Turkey. Moreover, a new species and a new subspecies described recently as Hydrothassa anatolica Coral-Şahin & Özdikmen, 2019 and Chrysolina sanguineocincta pinarbasiense Özdikmen, Coral-Şahin & Bal, 2020 were discovered on the bases of the specimens presented in the present study. KEY WORDS: Chrysomeloidea, Chrysomelidae, new data, fauna, Kayseri, Turkey Chrysomelidae family is one of the most important and species-rich families of the order Coleoptera. The Chrysomelidae family is represented by more than 2500 genera and over 38.000 species belonging to 19 subfamilies all over the world (Seeno & Wilcox, 1982). According to estimates, the number of species is thought to be more than 60.000 (Jolivet, 1988; Reid, 1995; Suzuki, 1996). The members of the Chrysomelidae family, which have a worldwide distribution except for the northern polar region (Arctic region), are represented approximately by 560 genera and 3500 species in the Palaearctic region, and 91 genera and 930 species in Turkey (Löbl & Smetana, 2010; Ekiz et al., 2013; Özdikmen et al., 2014). They have become an important subject of agricultural entomology and agroecosystems, since almost all species of the Chrysomelidae family feed on Munis Entomology & Zoology Mun. Ent. Zool. 1558 https://www.munisentzool.org/ 16 (Supplement) ISSN 1306-3022 (September, 2021) © MRG ___________________________________________________________ plants, some of them are cultivar pests and even some of them are quarantine species. The leaf beetle species cause significant damage, especially by feeding on the leaves of plants (Hsiao, 1988). When many species reach high populations, they cause significant crop loss in crop plants. Jolivet et al. (1988) stated that the subfamilies of Criocerinae, Eumalpinae, Galerucinae, Alticinae, Hispinae and Chrysomelinae contain important plant pest species and there are some species cause significant economic losses in these subfamilies. In addition, it is known that species belonging to this family cause damage by carrying diseases apart from their direct damages, and adults and larvae of many species feed on plants and carry bacteria, viruses and fungal diseases (Borror & DeLong, 1966; Kısmalı, 1973; Jolivet et al., 1988; Booth et al., 1990). Potential virus carriers for agricultural products are species belonging to the subfamilies Criocerinae, Chrysomelinae, Alticinae and Galerucinae. The main plant families affected are Fabaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Poaceae and Solanaceae (Gillot, 1995). In addition to their damage, some species of Chrysomelidae family are used as biological control agents in the control of some weeds that are frequently encountered in agricultural areas and cause significant problems (Jolivet et al., 1988; Booth et al., 1990; Aslan, 1994). Turkey is one of the countries with the richest biodiversity. 65 million years ago, when Anatolia began to form, the mountain ranges formed by the compression of the continents made a physical impact on the rapidly spreading flowering plants and insects, causing these creatures to diversify into different species that separated their communities. In addition, in various ground movements and geological processes, especially in the glacial periods in Central and Northern Europe, living things migrated from unfavorable regions and took refuge in Anatolia and diversified in their environment. Thus, Anatolian lands, which are also a shelter for African and Asian species, have become quite rich in terms of species. Turkey, which is the transition point between the north and the south, and also the west and the east, contains 3 different regions that are important in terms of biodiversity: Euro-Siberian, Irano-Turan and Mediterranean from 37 flora regions of the world. Turkey, where three different regions meet in an area that covers a very small part of the world, shows the characteristics of a small continent in terms of biological diversity. In addition to the presence of species belonging to three different flora, the transition areas between these regions constitute areas very rich in terms of endemic and hybrid species. Turkey is the country with the richest flora in the temperate climate zone, with over 10,000 species of natural flowering plants and ferns. One third (34.4%) of its flora consists of endemic species (Özhatay et al., 2003). Since plants are the first step of the food chain and the distribution of insect species is dependent on plants, this information about the plant geography of the region is also very important and guiding in terms of insect biodiversity. In this context, it is important to ensure the awareness of the fauna and to establish a good data infrastructure. The province of Kayseri, which is the study area, is located between 37º45' and 38º18' north latitudes and 34º56' and 36º58' east longitudes (Map 1). Average altitude above sea level is 1150 meters. It is located in the Seyhan and Kızılırmak Basins. The territory of Kayseri province, located in the upper Kızılırmak section of Central Anatolia, is shaped in a fractured-folded structure in the northeast- southwest direction, with three parallel mountain ranges and plateaus and depression basins between them. Heights start from 1050 m and end at 3917 m at Munis Entomology & Zoology Mun. Ent.

Approximately 20 percent of the provincial area is the area of Pınarbaşı district. This is followed by Develi, Tomarza and Sarız (Uruç, 2005; URL-1, 2016; URL-2, 2019). There are steppe climate characteristics in many parts of Kayseri province. Summers are hot and dry, winters are cold and snowy. In high places, the highland climate prevails. The average temperature in the province is 10.6 °C, the lowest temperature is -32.5 °C, and the highest temperature is 40.7 °C. The altitude is 1054 m (URL-2, 2019). The most important and highest mountain of the province is the Erciyes Mountain, which is 3917 meters high, an extinct cluster volcano with many secondary volcanic peaks on its chest and skirts. Other important mountains are Aladağ (3735 m), Dumanlı Mountains (3024 m), Binboğa (2856 m), Hınzır (2500 m), Bakırdağ (2462 m), Tahtalı (2100 m), Soğanlı (2100 m), Rostan (2100 m), Beydağı (2054 m), Kızılviran (1950 m), Aygörmez (1950 m), Hodul (1937 m) and Koramaz (1900 m). Important natural lakes are Camız lake, Çöl lake, Sarı lake, Yay lake and Tuzla lake. In addition, there are dams and ponds of various sizes. These are Ağcaşar Dam, Akköy, Kovalı, Sarımsaklı and Sel Kapanı Dam, and Efkere, Karakuyu, Şıhlı, Tekir and Zincidere ponds. Kızılırmak is the most important river of the province. 128 kilometers of Kızılırmak river is located within the provincial borders

See Annex 1 and Annex 2 for further information. 1. Introduction Every five years, the country nature conservation bodies (Natural England, Natural Resources Wales and NatureScot), working jointly through the UK Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), review Schedules 5 and 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (WCA) 1981. The review will provide recommendations to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and to Ministers for the Environment in the Scottish Government and Welsh Government for changes to these schedules2. This is known as the Quinquennial Review (QQR). As part of the QQR, stakeholders are provided with the opportunity to propose changes to the species on the schedules. This Information Pack has been produced for the 7th QQR (QQR 7). It is important to note that this QQR differs from previous ones. The Information Pack explains the new selection criteria, provides a timetable, and explains the process to be used by stakeholders. Contact details of the QQR Inter-agency Group who are managing QQR 7, are listed in Section 5. In addition, the Information Pack provides details of how to complete the online survey through which stakeholders propose new species for inclusion on, or removal of existing species from Schedules 5 and 8, or propose a change to how species are protected on the schedules.

Infection by endosymbiotic “male-killing” bacteria in Coleoptera. Folia Biologica (Kraków) 66: 165-177. Wolbachia, Rickettsia, Spiroplasma and Cardinium are endosymbiotic and intracellular bacteria known to cause numerous disorders in host reproduction, reflected in their common name “male-killers”. In this study, 297 beetle species from various taxonomic groups were screened with the use of molecular markers for the presence of infection by any of these endosymbionts. Wolbachia was found to be the most common “male-killer” among beetle hosts as it infected approx. 27% of species. Rickettsia, Spiroplasma and Cardinium were much less prevalent as they infected: 8%, 3% and 2%, respectively, of the studied beetle species. This is the first report of Cardinium presence in beetle hosts. Incidences of co-infection of two bacteria taxa were very rare and only two weevil species were found to be infected by three different bacteria. These findings suggest that endosymbiotic bacteria inhabit their host at various levels of prevalence and that particular taxa usually infect different hosts, suggesting some competition among “male-killers”.

  • Herbivorous Beetle Networks: Molecular Characterization of Trophic Ecology Within a Threatened Steppic Environment

In this study, we present a survey of ecological associations between herbivorous beetles and host plants from seriously threatened European steppic grasslands. We determined host plants for the majority (65%) of steppic leaf beetles (55 species) and weevils (59) known from central Europe using two barcodes (trnL and rbcL) and two sequencing strategies (Sanger for mono/ oligophagous species and Illumina for polyphagous taxa). To better understand the ecological associations between steppic beetles and their host plants, we tested the hypothesis that leaf beetles and weevils differ in food selection as a result of their phylogenetic relations (within genera and between families) and interactions with host plants. We found 224 links between the beetles and the plants. Beetles belonging to seven genera feed on the same or related plants. Their preferences were probably inherited from common ancestors and/or resulted from the host plant’s chemistry. Bee- tles from four genera feed on different plants, possibly reducing intrageneric competi- tion and possibly due to an adaptation to different plant chemical defences.

The leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) of the Pirin Mountain (Bulgaria). – Historia naturalis bulgarica, 17: 51-79. Abstract. The paper reviews the diversity of leaf beetles of Pirin Mts, South Bulgaria. Two- hundred and eghty nine (sub)species are hitherto registered on the territory of the mountain (of them 38 are new records), which counts to approx. 57 % of the Bulgarian chrysomelid fauna. Of them, six species (Clytra valeriana tetrastigma, Luperus graecus, Gonioctena pallida reticulata, Oreina speciosissima drenskii, O. virgulata ljubetensis, Aphthona parnassicola) are Balkan endemics, and one (Longitarsus behnei) is local endemic. The dominant zoogeographical complexes are: Siberian (150 taxa), and European (113 taxa). Key words: Leaf beetles, Chrysomelidae, Faunistics. Zoogeography, Pirin Mts, Bulgaria Introduction The Chrysomelidae fauna of the Pirin Mountain has not been a subject of special investigations. Nevertheless, 289 species and subspecies have been established in the mountain by now (38 of them are herein newly recorded as belonging to the fauna of the mountain; asterisked in the faunistic list). That number is sizable considering that it represents 57 % of the taxa known in Bulgaria. It cannot be affirmed, however, that the faunistic composition is finally fixed. Findings of some rather more widespread species are quite possible, especially in the low parts of the mountain. It is also possible some other high mountain relicts, Mideuropean in origin, to be found (particularly representatives of Oreina and Chrysolina).

  • 623 British Centipedes Text
    TEST VERSION 2010 Keys to the adults of Seed and Leaf Beetles of the British Isles. (Coleoptera: Bruchidae, Orsodacnidae, Megalopodidae & Chrysomelidae) By David Hubble ii The accurate identification of specimens is a fundamental part of most forms of biological fieldwork. Although the 'popular' groups, such as wild flowers and butterflies, are well- served by numerous aids to identification, many of the other groups are neglected. Unfortunately, even in those cases where guides are available, they may be inappropriate or inapplicable. The Field Studies Council's AIDGAP project (Aids to Identification in Difficult Groups of Animals and Plants) aims to provide clearly written and illustrated guides to enable the non-specialist to identify specimens in the field and lab. Although written and edited by specialists, all AIDGAP guides are extensively 'tested' before final publication. This ensures that the keys are subjected to extensive field tests by beginners and people with little or no experience in the groups being covered. Keys to the adults of Seed and Leaf Beetles of the British Isles This new AIDGAP key to Seed and Leaf Beetles is being tested over the summer. Please try the key out and see how easy you find it to use. Feedback from testers is a critical part of the AIDGAP project, we value all your comments on the keys accuracy, ease of use etc, whether these are critical or otherwise. The author will revise the final version in light of this feedback; so all comments are potentially useful, no matter how trivial they may appear.

ZooKeys 856: 115–135. https://doi. org/10.3897/zookeys.856.32564 Abstract Based on 168,674 records in the database ChryFaun changes in distribution and abundance of leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae s.l.) in Central Europe were analysed from 1900 through 2009. From the first decade (1900–1909) to the last (2000–2009) the number of records per decade increased by factor 26, from 1513 to 41,269. The number of species increased from 395 in decade 1 to 606 in decade 10, but only 532 were reported in decade 11. The number of species with fewer records increased from 1990 although the total number of records increased continuously. Decrease and increase is found likewise in mono-, oligo-, and polyphagous species. Twenty-two species (3.0%) have not been reported since 1990, and 42 (5.8%) since 2000.

  • The Leaf Beetles and Their Allies Chrysomelidae, Megalopodidae and Orsodacnidae Species Status No.19
    Natural England Commissioned Report NECR161 A review of the scarce and threatened beetles of Great Britain The leaf beetles and their allies Chrysomelidae, Megalopodidae and Orsodacnidae Species Status No.19 First published 24 October 2014 www.naturalengland.org.uk Foreword Natural England commission a range of reports from external contractors to provide evidence and advice to assist us in delivering our duties. The views in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of Natural England. Background Decisions about the priority to be attached to the conservation of species should be based upon objective assessments of the degree of threat to species. The internationally-recognised approach to undertaking this is by assigning species to one of the IUCN threat categories using the IUCN guidelines. This report was commissioned to update the national threat status of beetles within selected families. Reviews for other Beetle families as well as for other invertebrate groups will follow.
