Anchastus augusti (Candèze, 1863) is an infrequently encountered elaterid in the United States, previously known only from Cameron County, Texas (Heffern and Brattain 1991). Conoderus pictus (Candèze, 1859) is known in the United States as an introduced species in Florida (Johnson 2018; Mathison 2021). Both species were collected and documented in Webb County, Texas, signifying a range extension for A. augusti and a new state record for C. pictus. With the increased use of citizen science platforms such as iNaturalist, additional new distributional records for both species are also noted. Specimens examined are deposited in the B. A. Mathison Collection (BAMC) and the T. J. Hedlund Collection (TJHC).

Abstract A species is newly recorded from Paraguay, Sylvicanthon monnei Cupello and Vaz-de-Mello, 2018, and the previously dubious record of Sylvicanthon candezei (Harold, 1869) from the country is confirmed. Agamopus viridis Boucomont, 1928, Pseudocanthon chaquensis Nazaré-Silva and Silva, 2021, and Pseudocanthon pantanensis Nazaré-Silva and Silva, 2021 are newly recorded from Paraguay, and Pseudocanthon xanthurus (Blanchard, 1846), already known from humid southern areas of the country, is newly recorded from its northern Dry Chaco. The publication date of P. xanthurus—1846, not 1843, 1845, or 1847 as previously mentioned—is clarified, and additional data on the chromatic population structure of Bolbites onitoides Harold, 1868 in Paraguay are presented.

Abstract The larva of Laccophilus yoshitomii Watanabe and Kamite, 2018 from Japan is described for the first time, with an emphasis on the chaetotaxy analysis of the cephalic capsule, head appendages, legs, last abdominal segment, and urogomphi. The larva of L. yoshitomii is characterized as follows: setae MX5 and MX6 curved posteriorly, seta FE5 longer than FE6, setae TI1 and TI7 approximately the same length, seta AB11 longer than AB15, setae UR2–4, 7 long (instar I), and each posterolateral margin of PA with 2 secondary setae (instar II–III). Wild individuals tend to be darker than reared individuals, probably owing to the lightness and color of the surrounding environment.

Abstract Cyclocephala ignota Ratcliffe and Seidel is described as a new species from Bolivia. A description, diagnosis for distinguishing the species, illustrations, and a distribution map are provided. The new species is morphologically bizarre compared to most other Cyclocephala Dejean, 1821 species because of its dorsoventrally depressed body shape and dense pilosity.

The genus Scymnus Kugelann, 1794 belongs to the tribe Scymnini in the subfamily Coccinellinae and is distributed worldwide (Che et al. 2021; Ślipiński 2007). More than 800 species of this genus are known to date (Gordon 2000; Kovář 2007; Pang and Yu 1993; Pang et al. 2004; Poorani 2002; Ślipiński 2007). This genus is divided into eight subgenera of which four are reported from India, Neopullus Sasaji, 1971, Orthoscymnus Canepari, 1997, Pullus Mulsant, 1846, and Scymnus Kugelann, 1794 (Chen et al. 2013; Poorani 2002). Many species of this genus, including economically important species, are unknown due to poor sampling and documentation, and as a result, only eight species have been reported from India (Poorani 2002; Poorani and Thangjam 2019). Chen et al. (2013) revised the subgenus Scymnus from China and described 27 new species, including Scymnus (Scymnus) arciformis Chen, Wang, and Ren, 2013 from Yunnan and Hainan. The aim of this paper is to report S. arciformis for the first time from India, from a mango (Mangifera indica L.; Anacardiaceae) tree in Jharkhand heavily infested with leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae). With this addition, the number of species of S. (Scymnus) in the Indian fauna has increased to nine. The paper with the original description (Chen et al. 2013) lacks detailed description and illustrations of head appendages, terminal ventrites, and female genitalia. Here we include illustrations and descriptions of these structures, providing measurements and ratios to allow for more precise identification as well as differentiation of the sexes of this species. The antenna and mouthparts were dissected, dehydrated with ethanol, then preserved in a cavity slide with glycerol. For genitalia dissection, the specimens were relaxed overnight, and the abdomen was removed and kept in 10% KOH for 30 minutes. The genitalia and terminal abdominal segments were dissected, rinsed with water, dehydrated in ethanol, then preserved in genitalia vials after imaging. General morphological characters were studied using a Leica stereo zoom microscope M205C and M205FA and imaging was done using a Leica MC190HD and Leica EC4 digital camera. The maps were constructed using Google Maps. Morphological terminology used mainly follows Chen et al. (2013) and Ślipiński (2007). Adobe Photoshop 7 software was used for processing the images. Voucher specimens were deposited in the National Pusa Collection (NPC), Division of Entomology, ICAR-IARI Research Institute, New Delhi, India.
Scymnus Kugelann属,1794年属于Coccinellinae亚科中的Scymnini部落,分布于世界各地(Che et al.2021;西利平斯基,2007年)。到目前为止,已知该属有800多种(Gordon 2000;Kovář2007;Pang和Yu 1993;Pang等人2004;Poorani 2002;希利平斯基2007)。该属分为八个亚属,其中四个来自印度,Neopullus Sasaji,1971,Orthoscymnus Canepari,1997,Pullus Mulsant,1846和Scymnus Kugelann,1794(Chen等人,2013;Poorani,2002年)。该属的许多物种,包括经济上重要的物种,由于采样和文献记录不佳而未知,因此,印度只报告了8个物种(Poorani 2002;Poorani和Thangjam 2019)。Chen et al.(2013)对中国伞菌亚属进行了修订,并描述了27个新种,包括云南和海南的伞菌(伞菌)arciformis Chen、Wang和Ren,2013。本文的目的是首次报道来自印度贾坎德邦一棵深受叶蝉侵扰的芒果树(Mangifera indica L.;Anacardiaceae)上的弓形S.arciformis(半翅目:蝉科)。加上这一点,印度动物群中的S.(Scymnus)物种数量已增至9种。具有原始描述的论文(Chen等人,2013)缺乏对头部附属物、末端腹肌和女性生殖器的详细描述和插图。在这里,我们包括了这些结构的插图和描述,提供了测量和比率,以便更准确地识别和区分该物种的性别。解剖触角和口器,用乙醇脱水,然后用甘油保存在空腔玻片中。对于生殖器解剖,将标本放松过夜,取出腹部并在10%KOH中保存30分钟。生殖器和腹部末段被解剖,用水冲洗,在乙醇中脱水,然后在成像后保存在生殖器小瓶中。使用徕卡立体变焦显微镜M205C和M205FA研究一般形态特征,并使用徕卡MC190HD和徕卡EC4数码相机进行成像。这些地图是用谷歌地图制作的。形态学术语的使用主要遵循Chen等人(2013)和Šlipiński(2007)。使用Adobe Photoshop 7软件对图像进行处理。凭证标本存放在印度新德里ICAR-IARI研究所昆虫科国家Pusa收藏馆。

Abstract The diel activity of dung beetles is poorly understood in Australia. Understanding diel activity is fundamental to understanding the ecology and management of these insects. The diel activity is typically measured using ground-based pitfall traps, which require manual changing. Here we showcase a time sorting pitfall trap (TSPT) that allows for automated time sorted sampling of dung beetle communities to help investigate diel activity and determine abiotic triggers of diel activity. Testing was undertaken to determine the following: 1) Can the TSPT capture dung beetles at eight (3-hr interval) time points throughout a 24-hr period? 2) How efficiently can the TSPT capture dung beetles compared to a ground-based pan trap? 3) How does the height of the TSPT (standing vs. buried) affect the species diversity and abundance? We found that the TSPT successfully captured dung beetles at different time intervals, providing an assessment of beetle activity. We provide examples from two locally abundant dung beetles species, Labarrus lividus (Olivier, 1789) (Aphodiinae) and Onthophagus binodis (Thunberg, 1818) (Scarabaeinae). The height of the TSPT negatively influenced species diversity and abundance compared to ground-based pan traps. When we compared the results of pan traps and the equivalent of a buried TSPT (TSPT lid with pan trap underneath set at ground height), no difference was detected in overall species diversity, yet abundance was still reduced. When the height of the TSPT was reduced, only 20% of the abundance was captured compared to the ground pan trap. Overall, the TSPT worked for the intended purpose of measuring diel activity though it should be buried or have its height reduced to improve capture rate.

The height of the TSPT negatively influenced species diversity and abundance compared to ground-based pan traps. When we compared the results of pan traps and the equivalent of a buried TSPT (TSPT lid with pan trap underneath set at ground height), no difference was detected in overall species diversity, yet abundance was still reduced. When the height of the TSPT was reduced, only 20% of the abundance was captured compared to the ground pan trap. Overall, the TSPT worked for the intended purpose of measuring diel activity though it should be buried or have its height reduced to improve capture rate.","PeriodicalId":50668,"journal":{"name":"Coleopterists Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42224158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
