Price1 and Daniel K. Young1 ABSTRACT The first comprehensive survey of Wisconsin Endomychidae was initiated in 1998. Throughout Wisconsin sampling sites were selected based on habitat type and sampling history. Wisconsin endomychids were hand collected from fungi and under tree bark; successful trapping methods included cantharidin- baited pitfall traps, flight intercept traps, and Lindgren funnel traps. Examina- tion of literature records, museum and private collections, and field research yielded 10 species, three of which are new state records. Two dubious records, Epipocus unicolor Horn and Stenotarsus hispidus (Herbst), could not be con- firmed.

Juni 2008 Systematic Catalogue of the Cryptophagidae of the Madeira Archipelago and Selvagens Islands 1 (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea) TP PT Jens ESSER Introduction Since T. V. WOLLASTON 1847 visited for first time the Madeiran archipelago he and other entomologists collected a lot of beetles from there. WOLLASTON published a few longer and shorter papers (WOL- LASTON 1854, 1857, 1864, 1871a, 1871b) about the beetles and described a lot of beetles including a few Cryptophagidae. Later, some other authors collected and published about Cryptophagidae from the Madeiran archipelago. One further species was described by BRUCE (1940), which is no longer a valid species. So, all three endemic species from the archipelago were described by WOLLASTON. For further information about the Atlantics see ASSING & SCHÜLKE (2006). The Cryptophagidae on the Madeiras and Selvagens Today we know 17 species of Cryptophagidae recorded from the Madeiran archipelago and no species from the Selvagens Islands. Three of these species are endemic (18 %), known only from Madeira proper. There is no endemic species known from the other islands. The other 14 species are widespread in Europe or in the Mediterrian Region, the most are widespread in the Palaearctic Region, one species is cosmopolitan. There is no doubt that the most or all of the not-endemic species reached 1 TP PT This contribution is dedicated to Dieter ERBER (1933–2004), who inspirated me to this work. 31 the Madeira archipelago together with human settlement.

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.

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).
