  • Coleoptera: Myxophaga) and the Systematic Position of the Family and Suborder
    Eur. J. Entomol. 103: 85–95, 2006 ISSN 1210-5759 On the head morphology of Lepiceridae (Coleoptera: Myxophaga) and the systematic position of the family and suborder ERIC ANTON 1 and ROLF G. BEUTEL2 Institut für Spezielle Zoologie und Evolutionsbiologie mit Phyletischem Museum, FSU Jena, 07743 Jena, Germany; e-mails: 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected] Key words. Lepiceridae, head morphology, systematic position, function Abstract. Adult head structures of Lepicerus inaequalis were examined in detail and interpreted functionally and phylogenetically. The monogeneric family clearly belongs to Myxophaga. A moveable process on the left mandible is an autapomorphy of the subor- der. Even though Lepiceridae is the “basal” sistergroup of the remaining three myxophagan families, it is likely the group which has accumulated most autapomorphic features, e.g. tuberculate surface structure, internalised antennal insertion, and a specific entogna- thous condition. Adults of Lepiceridae and other myxophagan groups possess several features which are also present in larvae (e.g., premental papillae, semimembranous mandibular lobe). This is probably related to a very similar life style and has nothing to do with “desembryonisation”. Lepiceridae and other myxophagans share a complex and, likely, derived character of the feeding appa- ratus with many polyphagan groups (e.g., Staphyliniformia). The mandibles are equipped with large molae and setal brushes. The latter interact with hairy processes or lobes of the epi- and hypopharynx. This supports a sistergroup relationship between both sub- orders. INTRODUCTION association with semiaquatic species [e.g., Georissus, Lepicerus is a rather enigmatic and highly unusual Paracymus confusus Wooldridge, 1966, Anacaena debilis genus of Coleoptera.

We present a brief biography of Dr. Cleide Costa, eminent entomologist from Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZUSP). She has been dedicating the last six decades to the study of adults and immatures of Coleoptera. Dr. Costa is the pioneer in collecting and rearing immature beetles in Brazil, being responsible for establishing the most extensive Latin American collection of reared immatures Coleoptera. We discuss central aspects of her personal history, as well as career landmarks and achievements. A compilation of taxa introduced to science by her, taxa named in her honor, and a full list of her scientific, educational and cultural production are provided in chronological order. More than a biographical account, this publication is an acknowledgment of Dr. Cleide Costa’s legacy to entomology. Key-Words. Biography, Festschrift, Publications, Tribute.
