Hungary, E-mail: [email protected] Taxonomy, geographical range and subspecific subdivision of Euphydryas maturna are con- sidered. The isolated population from Dobrogea is described as E. maturna opulenta ssp. n. based on external and genital characters. The separation is also supported by the significant genetic differentiation based on 17 allozyme loci. The Dobrogea population was shown to be highly differentiated from the nearby populations in the Carpathian basin. This population may therefore be an relict population and possibly also an evolutionarily significant unit. Its conservation is of high concern as are many other butterfly species inhabiting sparse decidu- ous forests. With 2 tables and 18 figures.

Wolcott has honored me with the request that I write a short foreword for this catalogue, and I do it with pleasure. Wolcott, long the foremost student of the Cleridae in our country, has established for himself a permanent place on the roster of American Coleopterology. The present catalogue reflects his considered opinions concerning many complicated questions of clerid taxonomy and synonymy, with which opinions I find myself in complete agreement. I am sure that he took no pleasure in sup- pressing the well-known but invalidly established name, Hydnocera. Such suppressions are, unfortunately, necessary if we are to derive from the present confused nomenclature, based on the anarchy of individual preference, a stable nomenclature conforming with the International Rules. EDWARD A. CHAPIN United States National Museum 61 INTRODUCTION In order that certain necessary changes in nomenclature and systematics may be made known to those interested in the North American Cleridae, the present revision of existing catalogues is offered.

The New World genus Pyticara SPINOLA Weston OPITZ Abstract: The checkered beetle genus Pyticara SPINOLA is revised for the first time. The genus contains the following species: Pyticara batesiana (GORHAM), Pyticara championi GORHAM, Pyticara duponti SPINOLA, Pyticara implana Opitz, nov.sp., Pyticara lineatohumeralis PIC, and Pyticara simoata OPITZ, nov.sp. Lectotypes are designated for Pyticara batesiana, Pyticara championi, and Pyticara lineatohumeralis. Three new synonymies are established: Ichnea batesiana var. pelonioides GORHAM (= Pyticara batesiana GORHAM) and Pyticara coronata Gorham and Pyticara flavicollis GORHAM (= Pyticara duponti SPINOLA). A Neotype for P. duponti SPINOLA has been selected. The morphology of these beetles suggests predatory and mimetic life styles. Distributional evidence suggests that ancestral Pyticara evolved in highlands of South America, with only P. championi GORHAM crossing the Panamanian portal some 25 million years ago; to eventually attain a wide distribution in Insular Central America. A phylogeny of the species of Pyticara is postulated. It is computer generated with WINCLADA in consort with NONA. Also included in this work are description of species, key to species, 20 line drawings, 10 Scanning Electron Micrographs, 2 distributional maps, and 8 color habitus illustrations.

Durante un ciclo anual de monitoreo se registró la dinámica poblacional de Dendroctonus mexicanus, Dendroctonus frontalis y de diez especies de coleópteros depredadores pertenecientes a las familias Trogossitidae, Cleridae y Salpingidae asociadas a éstos. En el sitio de muestreo se colocaron cinco trampas multiembudo pareadas, una cebada con α-pineno, endo-brevicomina y frontalina, otra a manera de control en un bosque de pino en la comunidad de El Tepozán, municipio de Arroyo Seco, Querétaro durante 2015 y 2016. De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos, el pico de abundancia de los descortezadores fue al final de la primavera y un menor pico se registró a mediados del verano para D. frontalis y el de D. mexicanus fue durante el verano temprano e invierno temprano; mientras que los picos de abundancia de los principales depredadores fueron durante la primavera y verano; en otoño se registró un pequeño incremento de actividad para Temnochila chlorodia, esta especie es considerada como el principal depredador para ambas especies. Las especies Enoclerus boblloydi y Corticotomus californicus son reconocidas como nuevos registros para El Tepozán, Arroyo Seco, así mismo, se discute el papel de las especies aquí mencionadas como depredadores asociados a estos descortezadores.

Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae biologicae (Brno) 99(2): 5–94. – This treatise is the author’s culmination efforts with the checkered beetle subfamily Epiphloeinae Kuwert. The work contains a summation of the natural history of epiphloeine species, discussion of characters and character states found useful for the discernment of epiphloeine genera and species, description of the subfamily, key to genera, synoptic description of the genera, intergeneric hypothesis of phylogeny, catalogue of the species with each species represented by a color photograph, and index of genera, their species, and their synonyms. Keywords. Coleoptera, Cleridae, Epiphloeinae, genera, phylogeny, catalogue Introduction Epiphloeines are New World arbophilic beetles that frequent tree trunks infested with wood decomposing insects such as bark beetles. Within this group of checkered beetles one finds considerable intrageneric diversity of integumental color and body form varies extensively across generic lines. The species of some genera blend beautifully with the dark scabrous characteristic of tree bark; as in members of Plocamocera Spinola and Silverasia Nemésio. In other epiphloeines the elytra are brightly colored, as one finds among species of the mimetic Epiphloeus Spinola and Acanthocollum Opitz.
