Coleoptera Chrysomelidae) of Sicily: Recent Records and Updated Checklist
DOI: 10.1478/AAPP.982A7 AAPP j Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali ISSN 1825-1242 Vol. 98, No. 2, A7 (2020) THE CASSIDINAE AND CRYPTOCEPHALINI (COLEOPTERA CHRYSOMELIDAE) OF SICILY: RECENT RECORDS AND UPDATED CHECKLIST COSIMO BAVIERA a∗ AND DAVIDE SASSI b ABSTRACT. This paper compiles an updated checklist of the Sicilian Cassidinae and Cryptocephalini species (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae and Cryptocephalinae) starting from a critical bibliographic screening and adding new material, mainly collected by the first author in the last few decades. A total of 61 species is reported, withnew data for many rarely collected taxa. The provided data expand the known distribution of many uncommon species in Sicily. Two species are recorded for the first time: Cassida inopinata Sassi and Borowiec, 2006 and Cryptocephalus (Cryptocephalus) bimaculatus Fabricius, 1781 and two uncertain presences are confirmed: Cassida deflorata Suffrian, 1844 and Cassida nobilis Linné, 1758. The presence of other sixteen species is considered questionable and needs further confirmation. 1. Introduction Leaf beetles are all phytophagous Coleoptera. They are usually of a rather stout build, with a rounded or oval shape, often brightly coloured or with metallic hues. Worldwide some 32500 species in 2114 genera of Chrysomelidae have been described (Slipi´ nski´ et al. 2011), the majority of which occur in the tropics as is the case with numerous other Coleoptera families. Currently, the leaf beetle subfamily Cassidinae comprises the tortoise beetles (Cassidinae s. str.) and the hispine beetles (Hispinae s. str.) (Borowiec 1995; Hsiao and Windsor 1999; Chaboo 2007). So far, the Cassidinae list about 6300 described species within more than 340 genera, being the second most speciose subfamily of leaf beetles (Borowiec and Swi˛etoja´ nska´ 2014). -

Leaf Beetle Larvae
Scottish Beetles BeesIntroduction and wasps to Leaf Beetles (Chrysomelidae) There are approximately 281 species of leaf beetles in the UK. This guide is an introduction to 17 species found in this family. It is intended to be used in combination with the beetle anatomy guide and survey and recording guides. Colourful and often metallic beetles, where the 3rd tarsi is heart shaped. Species in this family are 1-18mm and are oval or elongated oval shaped. The plants each beetle is found on are usually key to their identification. Many of the species of beetles found in Scotland need careful examination with a microscope to identify them. This guide is designed to introduce some of the leaf beetles you may find and give some key Dead nettle leaf beetle (Chrysolina fastuosa ) 5-6mm This leaf beetle is found on hemp nettle and dead nettle plants. It is beautifully coloured with its typically metallic green base and blue, red and gold banding. The elytra are densely punctured. Where to look - Found mainly in wetlands from March to December from the Central Belt to Aberdeenshire and Inverness © Ben Hamers © Ben Rosemary leaf beetle (Chrysolina americana ) 6-8mm The Rosemary beetle is a recent invasive non- native species introduced to the UK through the international plant trade. This beetle is metallic red/burgundy with green striping. There are lines of punctures typically following the green stripes. Where to look - Found in nurseries, gardens and parks. Feeds on lavender and rosemary in particular. There have been records in Edinburgh but this beetle is spreading. -

REVIEW OF CASSIDINAE (COLEOPTERA: CHRYSOMELIDAE) OF THE FAUNA OF LATVIA. – Latvijas Entomologs, 47: 27-57. Abstract. New faunal and ecological information on the leaf-beetle subfamily Cassidinae of the Latvian fauna are presented. Bibliographical information on this group is summarized for the first time. All hitherto known faunal data are given for 20 species. In total, 2111 specimens were studied. Two species, Cassida atrata FABRICIUS, 1787 and C. subreticulata SUFFRIAN, 1844, are excluded from the list of Latvian Coleoptera. An annotated list of Latvian Cassidinae is given, including 3 genera and 21 species. Key words: Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae, Latvia, fauna, distribution, ecology, bibliography. Introduction Latvian tortoise beetles have been irregularly and inadequately investigated until There are 2760 species of the subfamily now. For example, in M. Stiprais (1977) Cassidinae STEPHENS, 1831 or tortoise beetles publication, faunal data on 9 species of Cassida so far known in the world fauna (Borowiec and Hypocassida can be found. In 1993, A. 1999). Of these, four genera and 38 species are Barševskis published his monograph “The reported for Eastern Europe (Biekowski 2004). -
