Abstract. Spermathecae of the type species of six subgenera in the genus Cassida Linnaeus, 1758 have been studied and figured. Spermathecal structures of these species on the base of 24 specified characters were evaluated in detail under both stereo microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). It is demonstrated that the characteristics of the spermathecal structure obtained particularly with SEM studies can be used at almost all taxonomic level diagnostically. It is obvious that the characteristics, however, will have different values for different taxonomic categories. As a result of this study, in spermathecae, vasculum, ampulla, ductus glandula auxiliaris and ductus spermatheca are generally constant in shape within species, but distinctive and useful in comparison with other species. As an important output of the study, it is observed that the type species and therefore the subgenera can be divided chiefly into 3 diverse group based on spermathecal structures: C. seraphina in C. (Alledoya) and C. nebusa in C. (s. str.) as Group I; C. nobilis in C. (Cassidulella) as Group II; C. viridis in C. (Odontionycha), C. brevis in C. (Onychocassis) and C. murrea in C. (Pseudocassida) as Group III. The new grouping is discussed previous groupings based on host plants and stereo microscopic abservations due to lack of available SEM studies. Eventually, the spermathecal structure of the species examined in this study was found to be distinctive not only at the subgenus level but also at the species level. According to the ultrastructure of spermatheca, it was revealed that the genus Cassida Linnaeus, 1758 is a polyphyletic group, not monophyletic. In addition, the key to the diagnosis, which is formed according to the general characters and external and spermatecal morphological features of adults of the studied species, is given.

ABSTRACT The long-legged ant, Anoplolepis gracilipes, is a widespread pest in moist lowlands of the Paleotropics, known for population explosions particularly on islands. The only Neotropical populations occur in Mexico, first reported >120 years ago from Baja California Sur. It has since spread south through much of western Mexico, but was seemingly prevented from expanding eastward by the arid steppe climate of the Central Mexican Plateau. Here, we report records of continued spread of A. gracilipes in Mexico, including into central and southeastern regions. It is now known from 13 states (in order of earliest record): Baja California Sur, Sinaloa, Nayarit, Colima, Guerrero, Jalisco, Aguascalientes, Quintana Roo, Michoacán, Yucatán, México State, Chiapas, and Veracruz. There now seem to be no natural barriers preventing its further spread through moist tropical lowlands of Central and South America. From there, A. gracilipes may spread to Caribbean islands, where its ecological impact could be disastrous.

ABSTRACT Five Chinese species of click-beetles of the genus Gamepenthes Fleutiaux, 1928 are discussed, i.e., G. antennatus (Miwa, 1934); G. holzschuhi Schimmel, 2003; G. hubeiensis Schimmel, 2003; G. jiangxiensisi Schimmel, 2004 and G. montivagus (Miwa, 1929). Two new species, G. clavator Liu & Jiang, sp. n. and G. cuneus Liu & Jiang, sp. n., are described from southern China. Gamapenthes versipellis is removed from the fauna of the Elateridae of China because the records were based on misidentifications. A preliminary key to the species of Gamepenthes in China and a distribution map of the Chinese species of the genus are provided.

ABSTRACT The ecological properties and zoogeographical composition of the Elateridae fauna of the Eastern Black Sea region is presented. During field studies, 53 species belonging to five subfamilies and 23 genera were collected. Among these, 13 species are recorded for the first time from the research area and detailed locality records for Turkey were given for two of them. With the addition of previously reported one subfamily, 11 genera and 61 species from research area in present literature, it is exhibited that there are six subfamilies, 34 genera and 114 species belong to Elateridae fauna of the Eastern Black Sea region, which represents almost 23.1% of Elateridae fauna of Turkey. Most of the Elateridae fauna of the Black Sea region comprises from the species of subfamilies Elaterinae and Dendrometrinae. The genus Athous is the most species-rich genus. Results of this study also exhibit that, species numbers of research area represents 25.3% of total species numbers of detected genera of Turkey. Artvin province is the most species-rich part of research area. The Black Sea region of Turkey shares the most species in common with the European part of the Western Palaearctic region.

ABSTRACT The scope of this study is to evaluate the faunistic, ecological and geographical composition of the subfamily Aleocharinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) of the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. Eighty species were detected by field studies between 2013 and 2015 in the Eastern Black Sea Region. We concluded that the following five species – Aleochara binotata Kraatz, 1856, A. ruficornis Gravenhorst, 1802, Atheta liturata Stephens, 1832, Gyrophaena poweri Crotch, 1867, Zyras collaris (Paykull, 1800) – are new records for Turkey. Seven species are endemic for Turkey and 40 species are new records for the Eastern Black Sea Region. Also, detailed locality records of two species, Aleochara moerens Gyllenhal, 1827 and Atheta oblita (Erichson, 1839), are given for Turkey.
