Abstract The diversity of Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) of the Tropical Dry Forest of the Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve (RBCC) in the state of Jalisco and the Sierra de Huautla Biosphere Reserve (REBIOSH) in Morelos, Mexico was analyzed using Malaise traps. Monthly sampling was carried out for one year in each study area. Fifteen individuals representing seven species were collected at the RBCC; these include Azya orbigera Mulsant, Diomus sp. 1, Diomus debilis (LeConte), Scymnobius flavifrons (Melsheimer), Zagloba beaumonti Casey, Scymnus (Pullus) dozieri Gordon, and Stethorus caseyi Gordon and Chapin. The estimated richness for the RBCC was 12 species, and the true diversity was 5.65 effective species. All of the species recorded for the RBCC represent new records for the state of Jalisco as well. For the REBIOSH, 28 specimens representing two species were collected. These included 27 individuals of Brachiacantha bistripustulata (Fabricius) and a single individual of Epilachna tredecimnotata (Latreille), both of which represent new records for the state of Morelos. The true diversity was 1.16 effective species. This work is the first to characterize the diversity of Coccinellidae in the Tropical Dry Forest of Mexico. Resumen Se analizó la diversidad de Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) del Bosque Tropical Caducifolio de la Reserva de la Biosfera Chamela-Cuixmala (RBCC) en el estado de Jalisco y de la Reserva de la Biosfera de la Sierra de Huautla (REBIOSH) en Morelos, México, utilizando trampas Malaise. Se realizaron muestreos mensuales durante un año en cada área de estudio. En la RBCC se recolectaron 15 individuos que representaron siete especies, entre ellas Azya orbigera Mulsant, Diomus sp. 1, Diomus debilis (LeConte), Scymnobius flavifrons (Melsheimer), Zagloba beaumonti Casey, Scymnus (Pullus) dozieri Gordon y Stethorus caseyi Gordon y Chapin. La riqueza estimada para la RBCC fue de 12 especies, y la diversidad real fue de 5.65 especies efectivas. Todas las especies registradas para la RBCC representan nuevos registros para el estado de Jalisco. Para la REBIOSH se recolectaron 28 ejemplares que representan dos especies. Estas incluyeron 27 individuos de Brachiacantha bistripustulata (Fabricius) y un solo individuo de Epilachna tredecimnotata (Latreille), las cuales representan nuevos registros para el estado de Morelos. La diversidad real fue de 1.16 especies efectivas. Este trabajo es el primero en caracterizar la diversidad de Coccinellidae en el Bosque Tropical Caducifolio de México.

Abstract Falsoceratoprion pecki Ferreira and Ivie, new species from Cuba, is the first extant and second species of the genus Falsoceratoprion Ferreira, 2022. The new species is diagnosed, described, illustrated, and compared with the fossil species Falsoceratoprion fumagalliae Ferreira, 2022. A key to the West Indian Lycidae genera is provided. The record of Metapteron testaceipenne Pic, 1922 in Cuba is found to be incorrect and this species, along with the genus Metapteron Bourgeois, 1905, is removed from the West Indian fauna. Resumen Falsoceratoprion pecki Ferreira et Ivie se describe como una nueva especie para Cuba, esta es la segunda especie perteneciente a Falsoceratoprion Ferreira, 2022 y la primera especie no extinta dentro de este género. La nueva especie se diagnostica, describe, ilustra y compara con la especie fósil Falsoceratoprion fumagalliae Ferreira, 2022. Se proporciona una clave para determinar los géneros de Lycidae de las Indias Occidentales. Se encontró como incorrecto el registro de Metapteron testaceipenne Pic, 1922 para Cuba, por lo que esta especie y el género Metapteron Bourgeois, 1905 es removido de la fauna de las Indias Occidentales.

Abstract The phylogenetic relationships and generic classification of the Calochrominae (Lycidae) were recently revised, modifying the whole concept of the subfamily. Among these changes, the genus Adoceta Bourgeois, originally distributed in northern Africa, was proposed as a synonym of Lygistopterus Mulsant. Consequently, two North American species described in Adoceta, Adoceta apicalis Green, 1949 and Adoceta ignita Green, 1949, were transferred to Lygistopterus. In our study, we provide a morphological overview of these two species and the molecular placement of Lygistopterus ignitus within the Calochrominae. Both approaches converged, and we provide evidence that these species should be transferred to the genus Macrolygistopterus Pic, and new generic combinations are proposed: Macrolygistopterus ignitus (Green, 1949), new combination and Macrolygistopterus apicalis (Green, 1949), new combination. We also present clarifications on the status of the New World calochromines, and formally transfer the following species placed in Calochromus Guérin-Méneville to Lygistopterus: Lygistopterus perfacetus (Say, 1825), new combination, Lygistopterus fervens (LeConte, 1881), new combination, Lygistopterus dimidiatus (LeConte, 1875), new combination. A key for the genera of Calochrominae of the Americas is provided along with illustrations of the monotypic Caloptognatha beameri Green, 1954 and an updated checklist of North America north of Mexico calochromine species.

More than 60 species of non-native Carabidae have been introduced into North America, with most of Palearctic origins (Bousquet 2012). Paradromius linearis (Olivier, 1795) is a broadly distributed Palearctic species (Löbl and Smetana 2003) recently recorded from North America based on a single specimen from Nova Scotia, Canada (Lewis 2022). To date, more than a dozen species of non-native Carabidae have been documented from California (Bousquet 2012; LaBonte 2022; Maddison et al . 2018; Sokolov and Kavanaugh 2014). California bycatch from the Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) survey for non-native bark and ambrosia beetles (Rabaglia et al . 2019) included three specimens of a suspicious lebiine carabid (Fig. 1A). These readily keyed to P. linearis in Trautner and Geigenmüller (1987) and the habitus and frons matched the images in Lewis (2022) (Figs. 1A, B). Definitive diagnostic characters include the striate frons
