Abstract. A large-scale phylogenetic study is presented for Cucujoidea (Coleoptera), a diverse superfamily of beetles that historically has been taxonomically difficult. This study is the most comprehensive analysis of cucujoid taxa to date, with DNA sequence data sampled from eight genes (four nuclear, four mitochondrial) for 384 coleopteran taxa, including exemplars of 35 (of 37) families and 289 genera of Cucujoidea. Maximum-likelihood analyses of these data present many significant relationships, some proposed previously and some novel.

  • Phylogenetic Systematics of the Cerylonid Series of Cucujoidea
    PHYLOGENETIC SYSTEMATICS OF THE CERYLONID SERIES OF CUCUJOIDEA (COLEOPTERA) by JAMES A. ROBERTSON (Under the Direction of Joseph V. McHugh) ABSTRACT We conduct a large-scale phylogenetic investigation of the Cerylonid Series (C.S.) of Cucujoidea, a diverse group of cucujoid beetles comprising 9,600 species classified in eight families, using morphological data (76 taxa ! 147 adult and larval characters), molecular data (341 taxa ! 9 genes: 18S, 28S, H3, 12S, 16S, COI, COII, CAD and ArgK) and a combination of the two datasets. In total, our analyses suggest the following: the C.S. is a monophyletic group based on both morphological and molecular evidence; the superfamily Cucujoidea is paraphyletic with respect to the remaining superfamilies in the series Cucujiformia; the C.S. represents a unique clade within Cucujiformia and should be recognized as its own supferfamily, Coccinelloidea, within the series; Byturidae and Biphyllidae should be transferred to Cleroidea; the C.S. families Corylophidae, Coccinellidae, Latridiidae, and Discolomatidae, are monophyletic; Cerylonidae, Endomychidae, and Bothrideridae are paraphyletic. Bothrideridae is split into two distinct families comprising the former Bothriderinae (as Bothrideridae) and the other including the remaining subfamilies (as Teredidae); the cerylonid subfamily Euxestinae is included within Teredidae; the new concept of Cerylonidae includes the following subfamilies: Ceryloninae, Ostomopsinae, Murmidiinae, Discolomatinae and Loeblioryloninae (inserte sedis); the status of the putative

The example that he has set has shaped the type of scientist that I strive to be. Jeff has given me tremendous intelectual freedom to develop my own research interests and has been a source of sage advice both scientific and personal. I also appreciate the guidance, insight, and encouragement of professors Esther Betrán, Paul Chippindale, John Fondon, and Matthew Fujita. I have been fortunate to have an extended group of collaborators including professors Doris Bachtrog, Nate Hardy, Mark Kirkpatrick, Laura Ross, and members of the Tree of Sex Consortium who have provided opportunities and encouragement over the last five years. Three chapters of this dissertation were the result of collaborative work. My collaborators on Chapter 1 were Laura Ross and Doris Bachtrog; both were involved in data collection and writing. My collaborators for Chapters 4 and 5 were Laura Ross (data collection, analysis, and writing) and Nate Hardy (tree inference and writing). I am also grateful for the group of graduate students that have helped me in this phase of my education. I was fortunate to share an office for four years with Eric Watson.

Borissiak Paleontological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Profsoyuznaya 123, Moscow, 117868 Russia. ABSTRACT. Europs makarovi sp.n. is described from Mexican amber (Chiapas, Simojo- vel). This new species seems similar to the extant E. cognatus Sharp, 1900 and E. sulcicollis Bousquet, 2003, but differs from them because of the relatively longer head, and much stronger puncturation of the head and pronotum. The new species of Europs is distinguished from all contemporary species of the genus by a combination of features: uniformly dark body colour; relatively long head (the ratio of head length to length of pronotum is 0.76); very coarse head puncturation; disc of pronotum with 2 longitudinal, more or less parallel, punctate grooves, forming a lyre figure; a wide impunctate medial area between grooves (as wide as diameters of 7–8 punctures); not rounded but triangularly produced coxal line in the first ventrite; proportionally longer elytra (LE/LP > 1.98).

The conservation status of invertebrates in Canterbury. Conservation Advisory Science Notes No. 320, Department of Conservation, Wellington. Keywords: endangered invertebrates, identification, research priorities, conservation status, Canterbury. 1. Introduction New Zealand has a very rich terrestrial invertebrate fauna. Watt (1975) estimated there were 9460 described species of insects, which does not include the gastropods and several highly diverse arthropod groups. Current estimates suggest a total insect fauna in New Zealand of between 17 500 and 20 400 species, but probably at least 20 000 species (Emberson 1998). In comparison with other groups, such as plants (2046 indigenous species ((Landcare Herbarium, 1998 cited in Emberson, in press)) the New Zealand insect fauna clearly accounts for the bulk of New Zealand's macroscopic biodiversity. Species level endemism is very high; Lepidoptera 94%, Orthoptera 95%, Coleoptera 96%, Plecoptera, Trichoptera and Ephemeroptera 100%. New Zealand also has several endemic families and many endemic genera (Watt 1975). The threats faced by invertebrates can, in general, be placed in four broad categories (New 1995); (1)The effect of habitat destruction/modification including habitat frag- mentation. (2)Effects of pollution and pesticides (not currently known to be of major importance in New Zealand).

  • External Exoskeletal Cavities in Coleoptera and Their Possible
    Entomological Science (2010) 13, 81–98 doi:10.1111/j.1479-8298.2009.00351.x REVIEW ARTICLE External exoskeletal cavities in Coleoptera and their possible mycangial functionsens_351 81..98 Vasily V. GREBENNIKOV1 and Richard A. B. LESCHEN2 1Entomology Research Laboratory, Ottawa Plant & Seed Laboratories, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; and 2New Zealand Arthropod Collection, Auckland, New Zealand Abstract This paper reviews the occurrence of external exoskeletal cavities in beetles and provides critical reassess- ment of their possible mycangial function. In most reported cases, the decision to attribute mycangial function to exoskeletal cavities was based solely on the combination of two factors: (i) observation of these cavities on beetle’s body; and (ii) knowledge that this particular beetle species uses fungi as a food source. Such reasoning resulted in the assumption, occasionally premature and not supported by other evidence, that exoskeletal pits in the following families may function as mycangia: Rhysodidae, Ptiliidae, Staphylinidae, Hybosoridae, Scarabaeidae, Derodontidae, Ptinidae, Jacobsoniidae, Boganiidae, Cryptophagidae, Endomy- chidae, Erotylidae, Latridiidae, Nitidulidae, Phloeostichidae, Silvanidae, Sphindidae, Pyrochroidae, Anthri- bidae, Attelabidae and Curculionidae. We conclude that only two beetle families include species with adequately documented cases of external exoskeletal mycangia: (i) Curculionidae (some Scolytinae and Platypodinae); and (ii) the structurally complex mycangia of Attelabidae
