BARR, JR. The University of Kentucky, Lexington Trechoblemus Ganglbauer is a genus of trechine beetles (Tre- chinae: Trechini: Trechina) previously known only from Europe and Asia. It formed the type genus of Jeannel's "S6rie phyl6tique de Trechoblemus". and is generally regarded as closely related to cavernicolous trechines in Japan, the Carpathians and Transylvanian Alps of eastern Europe, and eastern United States (Barr, I969; Jeannel, I928, I962; U6no and Yoshida, I966). The large cave beetle genus Pseudanophthalmus Jeannel, with approximately 75 species in caves of ten eastern States, the monobasic genus Nea- phaenops Jeannel, from Kentucky caves, and the dibasic genus ]gelsonites Valentine, ]rorn Tennessee and Kentucky, are part of the Trechoblemus complex. The apparent restriction of Trechoblemus to Eurasia led previous investigators to conclude that, with respect to the richly diverse trechine fauna in caves of eastern United States, "there are no im- mediate, ancestral genera now present in North America" (Barr, 969, p. 83). Although there is at least one edaphobitic (obligate in soil) species of American Pseudanophthalmus known (P. sylvaticus Barr, I967), in the mountains of West Virginia, it has already lost eyes, wings, and pigment, and merely indicates that many of the "regressive" evolutionary changes in ancestral Pseudanohthal- mus may have taken place in the soil or deep humus before the beetles became restricted to caves. Most of the species of Pseuda- nophthalmus from eastern Europe (Barr, 964) are also eyeless edaphobites. -

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] 2Laboratory for Insect Pathology, Department of Entomology, LSU Agricultural Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, 70803, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Anillinus langdoni–species group is characterized and two new species are described, Anillinus cieglerae Sokolov and Carlton sp. nov. and A. pusillus Sokolov and Carlton sp. nov., both from Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The langdoni–group includes four species at present, three apparently endemic to the Great Smoky Mountains and adjacent mountains of western North Carolina/Tennessee, and a fourth from South Mountains of middle North Carolina. They are distinguished mainly using characters of the male genitalia and to a lesser extent, differences in shapes of female sper- mathecae. Phylogenetic analyses based on aedeagal morphology and COI gene sequences yielded conflicting results, with the later providing a phylogeny that was more parsimonious with expectations based on geographic distributions. Speciation within the group may derive from ecological constraints and altitudinal fluctuations of habitat corridors dur- ing past climate changes combined with the impact of local watersheds as fine scale isolating mechanisms. Key words: Coleoptera, Adephaga, Carabidae, Anillinus, South Appalachians, new species, taxonomy, identification key, COI gene sequences, phylogeography Introduction The genus Anillinus Casey is one of the most diverse genera of carabid beetles in the Southern Appalachian region of eastern United States. -

30 THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST Vol. 42, Nos. 1 & 2 An Annotated Checklist of Wisconsin Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Peter W. Messer1 Abstract A survey of Carabidae in the state of Wisconsin, U.S.A. yielded 87 species new to the state and incorporated 34 species previously reported from the state but that were not included in an earlier catalogue, bringing the total number of species to 489 in an annotated checklist. Collection data are provided in full for the 87 species new to Wisconsin but are limited to county occurrences for 187 rare species previously known in the state. Recent changes in nomenclature pertinent to the Wisconsin fauna are cited. ____________________ The Carabidae, commonly known as ‘ground beetles’, with 34, 275 described species worldwide is one of the three most species-rich families of extant beetles (Lorenz 2005). Ground beetles are often chosen for study because they are abun- dant in most terrestrial habitats, diverse, taxonomically well known, serve as sensitive bioindicators of habitat change, easy to capture, and morphologically pleasing to the collector. North America north of Mexico accounts for 2635 species which were listed with their geographic distributions (states and provinces) in the catalogue by Bousquet and Larochelle (1993). In Table 4 of the latter refer- ence, the state of Wisconsin was associated with 374 ground beetle species. That is more than the surrounding states of Iowa (327) and Minnesota (323), but less than states of Illinois (452) and Michigan (466). The total count for Minnesota was subsequently increased to 433 species (Gandhi et al. 2005). Wisconsin county distributions are known for 15 species of tiger beetles (subfamily Cicindelinae) (Brust 2003) with collection records documented for Tetracha virginica (Grimek 2009). -

Simple Summary: The Duvalius cave beetles have a wide distribution in the Palearctic region. They have distinct adaptations to life in soil and subterranean habitats. Our present study intends to extend the knowledge on the morphology of cave Carabidae by describing two larvae belonging to different species of Duvalius and the ultrastructural details with possible implications in taxonomy and ecology. These two species are endemic for limited areas in the northern and north-western Romanian Carpathians. Our study provides knowledge on the biology and ecology of the narrow endemic cave beetles and their larvae are important in conservation and to establish management measures.

A New Genus and Species of Troglobitic Trechinae (Coleoptera, Carabidae) from Southern China
Int. J. Speleol., 25,1-2 (1996): 33-41. 1997 A new genus and species of troglobitic Trechinae (Coleoptera, Carabidae) from southern China Augusto Vigna Taglianti * SUMMARY Guizhaphaenops zorzini n.gen.n.sp. is described from Anjia Yan Cave, Shuicheng County, Guizhou (China). This highly specialized troglobite species is easily recognizable from the other cave dwelling Trechini from China for the main morphological external characters, but its true re- lationships remain uncertain, the male being still unknown. Similar in habitus to Cathaiaphaenops and to Sinotroglodytes. the new taxon is much more related to the latter, being dorsally glabrous and having the mentum fused with the submentum, with a deep oval fovea, but it differs in its elongated head, with incomplete frontal furrows and without posterior frontal setae. Only few years ago an extraordinary new genus and species, Sinaphaenops mirabilissimus Ueno & Wang, 1991, was discovered in Guizhou (Libo County), in Southeast China; it was the first record of an anophthalmic trechine beetle from mainland China (Ueno & Wang, 1991). None of the eyeless trechine spe- cies, quite abundant in the temperate zones, especially in Northern Hemisphere and also in Eastern Asia, with many genera and species described from Taiwan, Korea and especially Japan (see also Vigna Taglianti & Casale, 1996), was pre- viously known from China. Another new genus and species, Dongodytes fowleri Deuve, 1993, was described two years later from Guangxi, collected by an ex- pedition organized by Chinese and British speleologists. Recently, in a paper by Deuve (1996), three other anophthalmic cave- dwelling trechines were described from Northwest Hunan, collected in the karst of Longshan in August 1995, by French and Chinese speleologists of the expe- dition "Xiangxi 95"; they were ascribed to two new genera (Cathaiaphaenops and Sinotroglodytes) and to one new subgenus (Cimmeritodes) of the Japanese genus Gotoblemus Deno, 1970. -

E-mail: [email protected] *In: Cerretti, P., Mason, F., Minelli, A., Nardi, G. & Whitmore, D. (Eds), Research on the Terrestrial Arthropods of Sardinia (Italy). Zootaxa, 2318, 1–602. Abstract An up-to-date checklist of the ground beetles of Sardinia and surrounding islets is presented. The presence on the island of 379 species is confirmed, while 41 are here considered of doubtful occurrence. All endemic elements are indicated and concise information is given on the Italian distribution of each species, together with the chorotype of recurrent pattern of main distribution. Key words: Carabidae, checklist, distribution, chorotypes, endemics, Sardinia, Italian fauna Introduction The first list of the ground beetles of Sardinia was published as an appendix in a paper by Casale and Vigna Taglianti (1996). Such list, with 351 species, was the result of the critical examination of all bibliographical data on Sardinia and especially of the material collected by Italian entomologists during more than thirty years of research trips in mainland Sardinia and its surrounding small islands and archipelagos. The nomenclature and taxonomy of that list followed the “Checklist delle specie della fauna italiana” (Vigna Taglianti 1993), the first attempt to update the list of Italian carabids after Magistretti’s (1965) catalogue. -
