  • (Coleoptera) from European Eocene Ambers
    geosciences Review A Review of the Curculionoidea (Coleoptera) from European Eocene Ambers Andrei A. Legalov 1,2 1 Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Frunze Street 11, 630091 Novosibirsk, Russia; [email protected]; Tel.: +7-9139471413 2 Biological Institute, Tomsk State University, Lenina Prospekt 36, 634050 Tomsk, Russia Received: 16 October 2019; Accepted: 23 December 2019; Published: 30 December 2019 Abstract: All 142 known species of Curculionoidea in Eocene amber are documented, including one species of Nemonychidae, 16 species of Anthribidae, six species of Belidae, 10 species of Rhynchitidae, 13 species of Brentidae, 70 species of Curcuionidae, two species of Platypodidae, and 24 species of Scolytidae. Oise amber has eight species, Baltic amber has 118 species, and Rovno amber has 16 species. Nine new genera and 18 new species are described from Baltic amber. Four new synonyms are noted: Palaeometrioxena Legalov, 2012, syn. nov. is synonymous with Archimetrioxena Voss, 1953; Paleopissodes weigangae Ulke, 1947, syn. nov. is synonymous with Electrotribus theryi Hustache, 1942; Electrotribus erectosquamata Rheinheimer, 2007, syn. nov. is synonymous with Succinostyphlus mroczkowskii Kuska, 1996; Protonaupactus Zherikhin, 1971, syn. nov. is synonymous with Paonaupactus Voss, 1953. Keys for Eocene amber Curculionoidea are given. There are the first records of Aedemonini and Camarotini, and genera Limalophus and Cenocephalus in Baltic amber. Keywords: Coleoptera; Curculionoidea; fossil weevil; new taxa; keys; Palaeogene 1. Introduction The Curculionoidea are one of the largest and most diverse groups of beetles, including more than 62,000 species [1] comprising 11 families [2,3]. They have a complex morphological structure [2–7], ecological confinement, and diverse trophic links [1], which makes them a convenient group for characterizing modern and fossil biocenoses.

During a study involving the coffee berry borer, we observed coffee bean weevils emerging from field-collected coffee berries and used micro-computerized tomography (micro-CT) scans to observe the insect inside the berry. Two eggs had eclosed inside the berry, resulting in observations of a newly eclosed adult beetle and a 5th instar larva, each feeding on one of the two seeds. This is the first time since 1775, when the insect was first described, that the insect has been observed inside a coffee berry. Keywords: coffee quality; insect biology; losses; stored coffee; stored product pest 1. Introduction The genus Araecerus Schönherr comprises ca. 75 species [1], with the coffee bean weevil, Araecerus fasciculatus (De Geer) (Coleoptera: Anthribidae), being the most economically important. Chittenden [2,3] coined the name coffee bean weevil and Valentine [1] has published a succinct account on the controversy involving the many different scientific names used for the insect.

  • ANTHRIBIDAE (Fungus Weevils)
    FAMILY ANTHRIBIDAE (Fungus weevils) J. McNamara This family includes 18 species in Canada and Alaska. One of these, the Coffee Bean Weevil, is introduced and may be established in warehouses; this species damages many stored plant materials including seeds. Adults of anthribids are often collected by beating dead or diseased vegetation or by sweeping in weedy areas. The larvae are usually found in similar habitats. Adults feed on fungi, pollen or even bark; larvae feed in plant stems, fungi or woods. The North American genera of Anthribidae have been revised by Valentine (1960); the Canadian species are being revised by Bright and his work is expected to be published soon in the Handbook series "The Insects and Arachnids of Canada".

K1P 6P4, CANADA;[email protected] 3Department of Recent Invertebrates, Virginia Museum of Natural History, 21 Starling Avenue, Martinsville, Virginia 24112; [email protected] ABSTRACT: One-hundred thirty-five taxa (130 identified to species), in at least 97 genera, of weevils (superfamily Curculionoidea) were documented during a 21-year field survey (1998–2018) of the George Washington Memorial Parkway national park site that spans parts of Fairfax and Arlington Counties in Virginia. Twenty-three species documented from the parkway are first records for the state. Of the nine capture methods used during the survey, Malaise traps were the most successful. Periods of adult activity, based on dates of capture, are given for each species. Relative abundance is noted for each species based on the number of captures. Sixteen species adventive to North America are documented from the parkway, including three species documented for the first time in the state. Range extensions are documented for two species. Images of five species new to Virginia are provided. Keywords: beetles, biodiversity, Malaise traps, national parks, new state records, Potomac Gorge. INTRODUCTION This study provides a preliminary list of the weevils of the superfamily Curculionoidea within the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP) national park site in northern Virginia.

  • The Evolutionary History of the Coleoptera
    geosciences Editorial The Evolutionary History of the Coleoptera Alexander G. Kirejtshuk Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Universitetskaya emb. 1, St. Petersburg 199034, Russia; [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 29 January 2020; Accepted: 5 March 2020; Published: 12 March 2020 Abstract: In this Editorial, different aspects of palaeocoleopterological studies and contributions of the issue “The Evolutionary History of the Coleoptera” are discussed. Keywords: classification; problems of taxonomic interpretation of fossils; contributions for studies of palaeoenvironment and faunogenesis “Beetles, like other insects, spread quickly and practically simultaneously (in the geological sense), appearing in different parts of the Earth. The differences in dispersal result not from the difficulty to reach a particular location of the Earth, but because of the difficulty to enter an ecosystem already formed. Thus, the evolutionary potential of beetles is quite high, and the study of their ancient representatives is interesting from many points of view; however, it requires much effort and expertise. Unfortunately, a study of the palaeontology of beetles is a much more complicated task than that of Hymenoptera or Diptera. By the structure of the wing of the latter it is nearly always possible to determine to what large taxon it belongs. For the majority of discoveries of isolated elytra of beetles at the present state of knowledge it is impossible to identify the group to which the beetle with these elytra belongs. However there was a period—the Permian except its very end—when the evolution of elytra was the main evolutionary process in beetles.” Ponomarenko, A.G. Paleontological discoveries of beetles.

KLIMASZEWSK.I Manaaki Whenua — Landcare Research, Private Bag 92170, Auckland, New Zealand Present address: BC Research. 3650 Weshrook Mall, Vancouver V6S SLS, Canada Abstract Klimaszewski, J., 1 997. Biodiversity of New Zealand beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera). Memoirs of the Museum of Victoria 56(2): 659-666. Approximately 5235 species are described for New Zealand, including 354 introduced. They belong to 82 families in two suborders, Adephaga and Polyphaga. The New Zealand beetle fauna is distinguished by the absence of many major lineages, a high level of endem- ism. which in many groups is over 90% at the specific level and over 43% at the generic level (e.g.. Staphylinidae), and the radiation of many groups of genera and species. The origins of New Zealand's beetle fauna are still poorly understood. They are likely to be varied, includ- ing Gondwanan elements and elements which arrived here by short and long-distance dispersal recently and in the remote past. The size of the New Zealand beetle fauna is con- sistent with species number/land area relationships in other areas around the world. Introduction Zealand beetles is that of Kuschel (1990), in the suburb of Lynfield, Auckland, in which 982 The beetles are the largest order of organisms, beetle species were recorded in a diverse veg- with over 350 000 described species world- etation including remnant forest, pastureland, wide. and suburban garden.
