REVISÃO DO GÊNERO Oplognathus MACLEAY, 1819 (COLEOPTERA: MELOLONTHIDAE: RUTELINAE: RUTELINI) por TAMARA GOMES CARVALHO (Sob Orientação do Professor Paschoal Coelho Grossi – UFRPE) RESUMO Oplognathus MacLeay, 1819 apresenta três espécies descritas, todas exclusivas do Brasil, sendo elas: O. bahianus (Ohaus, 1912); O. helmenreichi (Ohaus, 1905) e O. kirbii MacLeay, 1819, esta última é a espécie tipo do gênero. Esse gênero pertence a subtribo Areodina (Rutelini, Rutelinae) que contém 43 espécies distribuídas em 11 gêneros, sendo 10 nas Américas e um na África. Os gêneros que ocorrem no Brasil são: Areoda MacLeay, 1819 (3 spp.); Byrsopolis Burmeister, 1844 (6 spp.); Moronius Grossi & Vaz-de-Mello, 2015 (1 sp.); e Oplognathus MacLeay, 1819 (3 spp.). Oplognathus diferencia-se de outros Areodina com base em três características: ápice do clípeo nos machos trilobado e estendendo-se além do labro em vista ventral; processo mesoventral presente, excedendo anteriormente as coxas médias, e parâmeros assimétricos. O conhecimento taxonômico de Oplognathus está quase que totalmente restrito às descrições originais. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi revisar as espécies de Oplognathus MacLeay, 1819 com a redescrição do gênero e das espécies, incluindo ilustrações das principais características diagnósticas, mapa de distribuição e uma chave dicotômica para identificação das suas espécies.

Check List of the Rutelinae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) of Oceania
CHECK LIST OF THE RUTELINAE (COLEOPTERA, SCARABAEIDAE) OF OCEANIA By FRIEDRICH OHAUS BERNICE P. BISHOP MUSEUM OCCASIONAL PAPERS VOLUME XI, NUMBER 2 HONOLULU, HAWAII PUBLISHED BY THE MUSJ-:UM 1935 CHECK LIST OF THE RUTELINAE (COLEOPTERA, SCARABAEIDAE) OF OCEANIA By FRIEDRICH OHAUS MAINZ, GERMANY BIOLOGY The RuteIinae are plant feeders. In Parastasia the beetle (imago) visits flowers, and the grub (larva) lives in dead trunks of more or less hard wood. In Anomala the beetle is a leaf feeder, and the grub lives in the earth, feeding on the roots of living plants. In Adoretus the beetle feeds on flowers and leaves; the grub lives in the earth and feeds upon the roots of living plants. In some species of Anornala and Adoretus, both beetles and grubs are noxious to culti vated plants, and it has been observed that eggs or young grubs of these species have been transported in the soil-wrapping around roots or parts of roots of such plants as the banana, cassava, and sugar cane. DISTRIBUTION With the exception of two species, the Rutelinae found on the continent of Australia (including Tasmania) belong to the subtribe Anoplognathina. The first exception is Anomala (Aprosterna) antiqua Gyllenhal (australasiae Blackburn), found in northeast Queensland in cultivated places near the coast. This species is abundant from British India and southeast China in the west to New Guinea in the east, stated to be noxious here and there to cultivated plants. It was probably brought to Queensland by brown or white men, as either eggs or young grubs in soil around roots of bananas, cassava, or sugar cane. -
Quick Guide for the Identification Of
Quick Guide for the Identification of Maryland Scarabaeoidea Mallory Hagadorn Dr. Dana L. Price Department of Biological Sciences Salisbury University This document is a pictorial reference of Maryland Scarabaeoidea genera (and sometimes species) that was created to expedite the identification of Maryland Scarabs. Our current understanding of Maryland Scarabs comes from “An Annotated Checklist of the Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) of Maryland” (Staines 1984). Staines reported 266 species and subspecies using literature and review of several Maryland Museums. Dr. Price and her research students are currently conducting a bioinventory of Maryland Scarabs that will be used to create a “Taxonomic Guide to the Scarabaeoidea of Maryland”. This will include dichotomous keys to family and species based on historical reports and collections from all 23 counties in Maryland. This document should be cited as: Hagadorn, M.A. and D.L.
