Čeleď: Carabidae
Velikost 11-17 mm. Černý, málo lesklý, Krovky jsou vpředu tečkovaně rýhované a vzadu zrnité. Mají bronzový nádech a tři nápadné řetízkovité pruhy. Holeně, chodidla, kusadla a tykadla (kromě prvního článku) mají oranžové až rezavě-červené zbarvení.
Na dospělce narazíme nejčastěji v lesích, často u potoků od dubna do září. Přes den pod kameny, listím, kůrou nebo v mechu. Na lov se vydávají převážně v noci, ve dne jen za deštivého počasí. Díky své prodloužené hlavě jsou specializováni na průnik do ulit měkkýšů, kteří tvoří převážnou část jejich potravy. Od října začínají zimovat, nejčastěji pod kůrou nebo přímo ve dřevě. Na obranu vystřikují páchnoucí sekret.
Objevuje se v pahorkatinách i ve vysokých horách a často se vyskytuje i s naším druhým úzkoštítníkem (Cychrus caraboides), ale je mnohem vzácnější.
Juan Pablo Botero and Antonio Santos-Silva. New species and taxonomical notes on Bolivian Lamiinae (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae).. Studies on Neotropical Fauna & Environment 59(1):237 - 254, 2024.
Abstract One new genus and three new species of Lamiinae are described from Bolivia: Leptocometes wappesi sp. nov. (Acanthocinini); Pentheochaetes pulcherrima sp. nov. (Acanthocinini); and Guarayo phantasmaticus, gen. nov., sp. nov. (Parmenini). The female of Periestola raphaeli is illustrated for the first time, and the differences compared with the male are reported. Estola basiflava is synonymized with Estola densepunctata. The alternative of couplet '36' from the key to South American genera of Acanthocinini with erect setae on elytral surface is modified. The species group name of three Lamiinae is corrected.

Jakub Goczał, Rolf G Beutel, Matthew L Gimmel and Robin Kundrata. When a key innovation becomes redundant: Patterns, drivers and consequences of elytral reduction in Coleoptera.. Systematic Entomology 49(2):193 - 220, 2024.
Abstract The transformation of the fore wings into strongly sclerotized protective covers (elytra) is considered a fundamental evolutionary innovation of the megadiverse order Coleoptera. Surprisingly, these multifunctional structures have been reduced in many distantly related groups of beetles. Patterns, drivers and the evolutionary implications of this modification have never been comprehensively discussed. In the present study, we surveyed the entire order Coleoptera to analyse the patterns of elytral shortening and loss, with a special focus on prevalence, forms, degree of reduction and the functional background of this significant deviation from the coleopteran ground plan. Our analysis revealed that about 20% of all extant species (roughly 88,000 out of 442,275 spp.), distributed across all four suborders, have shortened or even absent elytra. The elytral loss was more frequent within the polyphagan series Elateriformia and Staphyliniformia. Moreover, we found that elytral reduction has URL BibTeX

Comparative genomics provides insights into molecular adaptation to hypermetamorphosis and cantharidin metabolism in blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae).. Integrative Zoology, page 1, 2024.
Abstract Blister beetles (Coleoptera: Meloidae) are currently subdivided into three subfamilies: Eleticinae (a basal group), Nemognathinae, and Meloinae. These are all characterized by the endogenous production of the defensive terpene cantharidin (CA), whereas the two most derived subfamilies show a hypermetamorphic larval development. Here, we provide novel draft genome assemblies of five species sampled across the three blister beetle subfamilies (<italic>Iselma pallidipennis</italic>, <italic>Stenodera caucasica</italic>, <italic>Zonitis immaculata</italic>, <italic>Lydus trimaculatus</italic>, and <italic>Mylabris variabilis</italic>) and performed a comparative analysis with other available Meloidae genomes and the closely‐related canthariphilous species (<italic>Pyrochroa serraticornis</italic>) to disclose adaptations at a molecular level.

Abstract A partially skeletonized human corpse was found in bushes in Selangor, Malaysia in June 2020. Entomological evidence was collected during the autopsy and sent to the Department of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) for minimum postmortem interval (PMImin) analysis. Standard protocols were applied when processing preserved and live insect specimens of both larval and pupal stages. Entomological evidence revealed that the corpse was colonized by Chrysomya nigripes Aubertin, 1932 (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and Diamesus osculans (Vigors, 1825) (Coleoptera: Silphidae). Chrysomya nigripes was chosen as the PMImin indicator as this fly species is an earlier colonizer compared to D. osculans beetle larvae which their presence is the indicative of late stage of decomposition. For the present case, the pupae of C. nigripes were the oldest insect evidence collected and based on the available developmental data, the estimated minimum PMI was URL BibTeX

Abstract Phlyctinus callosus and P. xerophilus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are two cryptic species of native entimine weevils, previously grouped together under the P. callosus sensu lato concept, that are pests of economic importance to the deciduous fruit and vine industry in the Western Cape province of South Africa. Laboratory bioassays were conducted using entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) isolates of Beauveria and entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), Heterorhabditis indica and Steinernema yirgalemense, to determine differences in susceptibility of adult P. callosus and P. xerophilus to potential biological control agents. The test arena used was 24‐well bioassay plates with an inoculation rate of 200 infective juveniles (IJs)/insect for EPNs and 5 × 105 conidia/insect for EPF. Insects were inoculated using a 12.7 mm filter paper impregnated with 50 μL of entomopathogen suspension. Infection was determined after 96 h incubation for EPNs through dissection of cadavers.

Abstract Ladybird beetles are well acknowledged predators of soft bodied insect pests. Mass production of these beetles for biological control is widely practiced in the world against different insect pests. Many insects can modulate their life processes with respect to low temperatures and this attribute can wisely be used to increase their shelf life for mass rearing. The possibility of short-term storage for adults and larval stages of seven spotted ladybird beetle under low temperature conditions was examined in the present study. The results showed that adults survived well up to five weeks of storage period at two temperature regimes. However, duration of cold storage affected the post storage survival of adult and larvae of C. septempunctata. Better survival was recorded in beetles stored at 4°C after their removal from cold conditions. Larval survival declined gradually with increased storage length. Most of the larval instars remain alive under storage conditions up to four weeks, but URL BibTeX

Abstract The false blister beetle tribe Stenostomatini includes only the genus Stenostoma , with four species showing an intriguing distribution: Stenostoma lowei (Madeira), Stenostoma cossyrense (Pantelleria), Stenostoma melitense (Malta and southern Sicily) and Stenostoma rostratum, widely distributed along the Mediterranean and North Atlantic coasts. The evolutionary history leading to this distribution has not been investigated. Here, we explore the phylogeny and evolutionary history of the tribe, adopting an integrative approach that combines morphological and molecular data (mitochondrial COI and nuclear CAD and 28S). Moreover, we propose a new key for species identification and update the knowledge on adult and larval ecology. Finally, we propose the following explanation for the current distribution of the species. The genus originated in the Miocene, with S. lowei belonging to the oldest lineage. The remaining species share a common ancestor, dating to the Messinian Salinity Crisis. S URL BibTeX

Teo Delić, Roman Lohaj, Jiří Brestovanský, Daniel Čáha and Branko Jalžić. Questioning the monophyly of Anthroherponina (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Cholevinae: Leptodirini) and description of three new, ecologically ultraspecialized subterranean species.. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 200(3):736 - 754, 2024.
Abstract The beetle subtribe Anthroherponina (Coleoptera: Leiodidae), including also ecologically specialized and semi-aquatic hygropetricolous genera, presents one of the most illustrative examples of morphological variability in cave-adapted animals. However, phylogenetic relations within the tribe remain dubious. Recent exploration of deep-phreatic caves of the Western Balkans Dinaric Karst enabled us to collect all known Anthroherponina genera and access new populations of hygropetricolous beetles, representatives of the iconic Hadesia and elusive Nauticiella. We studied the taxonomic structure of newly collected semi-aquatic beetle populations by using traditional morphology and deploying uni- and multilocus molecular species delimitation. In addition, we tested the monophyly of the subtribe Anthroherponina and set the group's evolutionary development into a palaeogeographic context by reconstructing a multilocus calibrated phylogeny. As a result, three new species of specialized semi-aqu URL BibTeX

Abstract AbstractGlobally, the coffee berry borer (CBB) <italic>Hypothenemus hampei</italic> (Ferreri) is the most severe pest of the commercial coffee species arabica coffee (<italic>Coffea arabica</italic>). Heterogenous landscapes characterize many coffee-growing areas. We studied the phenology of coffee and the abundance, and development of infestation by CBB within the context an altitudinal gradient in the coffee-growing region of Caldas, Colombia. This was between 1200 m and 1800 m (a.s.l.) from September 2019 to July 2020 covering two seasons of coffee flowering. Coffee berry phenology did not differ over the altitudinal gradient studied, but CBB abundance and berry infestation differed in quantity and timings, with lower altitudes having higher abundances and proportions of infestation than higher altitudes. In the context of CBB management, October through to December is vital for coffee farms <1500 m as CBB abundance and infestation both spike, and March to June is key for farms bet URL BibTeX

DNA metabarcoding of gut microbiota reveals considerable taxonomic differences among wild individuals of the dung beetle Trypocopris pyrenaeus (Coleoptera: Geotrupidae).. European Journal of Entomology 121:40 - 53, 2024.
Abstract The gut microbiota of dung beetles comprises bacteria, archaea, and fungi. Most studies have only considered the bacterial element and focused on differences between species reared in the lab. This study considered microorganisms from the gut of Trypocopris pyrenaeus and concentrated on differences among wild individuals of an alpine Italian population. We revealed remarkable interindividual variation in the taxonomic composition of microbiota. Core taxa were few, while individuals harboured many exclusive taxa. Therefore, considering only a few individuals to describe the microbiota of a species is not sufficient. The study also revealed that the nMDS ordination of individuals based on prokaryotes was different from that based on fungi, meaning that both groups should be considered in microbiota analyses and that one microbic group cannot be considered a surrogate of the other. We identified many functions potentially provided by the microbiota and found the taxonomic richness of pro URL BibTeX

Abstract Dermestes frischii Kugelann, 1792 and Dermestes undulatus Brahm, 1790 are the most abundant species worldwide at outdoor or indoor crime scenes during the dry and skeletal stages of decomposition. The attribution of larval age in these beetles is problematic due to the variable number of instars, which is influenced by environmental factors. In this study, a morphometric approach was used to look for potential morphological features as evidence of larval stages. Breeding and monitoring were performed for both species in an incubator with a preset temperature of 28°C ± 0.5 without a photoperiod. Morphometric measurements were made on 10 larvae per instar for each species using length, width, and thickness parameters. Linear discriminant analysis was then used to generate decision boundaries that clearly separated larval stages. The cross‐validation procedure demonstrated that the morphometric approach successfully discriminated adjacent larval stages in both species with high values of URL BibTeX

Abstract Two new species of Hesperopenna Medvedev & Dang, 1981 are described from Singapore: H. temasek sp. nov. and H. bakeri sp. nov. The specimens of both new species were collected by Charles Fuller Baker and found in the unidentified Galerucinae material deposited in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC. Hesperopenna temasek sp. nov. is diagnosed by the black extreme elytral suture in the basal third, antennae longer than the body, the structure of the penis, and the last abdominal ventrite with two deep U-shaped incisions in females. Hesperopenna bakeri sp. nov. is diagnosed by the black tibia and first two tarsomeres, and the structure of the penis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] URL BibTeX

Abstract Between 2003 and 2006, the Regional Agency for Services to Agriculture and Forestry of Lombardy planted a new forest in the province of Mantua (San Giorgio Bigarello), the "Foresta Carpaneta". One aim for this new forest is to associate the conservation of biodiversity and recreational activities. To investigate the evolution of biological diversity of the "Foresta Carpaneta", carabids were one of the groups chosen, because they are good biological indicator for forest habitats. Pitfall traps were placed in two sites in the years 2006/07 and 2020/21. In the first sampling period, when the forest was still very young and open, an average of 23.5 species were caught at each site. All species caught were typical for open grasslands, ecotones, pioneer vegetation and fields. In 2020/21, in the now more mature forest an average of only 9 species were collected in each site. This decrease in species richness was accompanied by a considerable difference in the composition of the carabid fauna. During the second sampling period two forest generalists were caught for the first time: Notiophilus rufipes Curtis 1829 and Pterostichus (Platysma) niger niger (Schaller 1783). However, carabid species that depend on mature forest stands were absent. These species, which generally disperse poorly, can only arrive from old forests. However, the "Foresta Carpaneta" is separated from the nearest old forest by fields, streets, urban centres and industrial areas, which are barriers for the dispersal of forest specialist carabids. These results suggest that complete forest communities will not autonomously establish in the "Foresta Carpaneta" in the foreseeable future. BibTeX

Abstract Two jewel beetle species native to Europe, the cypress jewel beetle, Lamprodila (Palmar, Ovalisia) festiva L. (Buprestidae, Coleoptera), and the sinuate pear tree borer, Agrilus sinuatus Olivier (Buprestidae, Coleoptera), are key pests of ornamental thuja and junipers and of orchard and ornamental rosaceous trees, respectively. Although chemical control measures are available, due to the beetles' small size, agility, and cryptic lifestyle at the larval stage, efficient tools for their detection and monitoring are missing. Consequently, by the time emerging jewel beetle adults are noticed, the trees are typically significantly damaged. Thus, the aim of this study was to initiate the development of monitoring traps. Transparent, light green, and purple sticky sheets and multifunnel traps were compared in field experiments in Hungary. Light green and transparent sticky traps caught more L. festiva and A. sinuatus jewel beetles than non-sticky multifunnel traps, regardless of the larger size of the colored surface of the funnel traps. Although light green sticky sheets turned out to be optimal for both species, using transparent sheets can reduce catches of non-target insects. The key to the effectiveness of sticky traps may lie in the behavioral responses of the beetles to the optical features of the traps.BACKGROUND: Two jewel beetle species native to Europe, the cypress jewel beetle, Lamprodila (Palmar, Ovalisia) festiva L.

Abstract The purpose of this work was to identify the species of ladybugs in the multiannual alfalfa fields in the Republic of Moldova. The main role of the overwhelming majority of ladybug species in the wild is the consumption of aphids, whiteflies, phytophagous mites, woolly lice and a wide range of other soft-bodied pests. In alfalfa fields, too, ladybirds consume plant lice, which damage the leaves and tender stalks of alfalfa by puncturing them and consume the sap, infecting the plant with viruses. According to updated data, 48 species of ladybugs have been identified in the Republic of Moldova (BUȘMACHIU et al., 2022). The most common species native for the Republic of Moldova include Hippodamia variegata, Coccinela septempunctata, Subcocinella 24-punctata, Propylea quatuordecimpunctata, P. quatuordecimpunctata, Scymnus frontalis and S. nigrinus. Less common in alfalfa fields are the species Hippodamia tredecimpunctata, Tytthaspis sedecimpunctata, Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata and Vibidia duodecimguttata. The last one was collected in one field and in a single specimen. One species of Coccinellidae -Platynaspis luteorubra is cited for the first time for the Republic of Moldova. BibTeX

Abstract Global plant trade represents one of the main pathways of introduction for invertebrates, including insects, throughout the world. Non-native insects include some of the most important pests affecting cultivated and ornamental plants worldwide. Defining the origins and updating the distribution of non-native invasive species is pivotal to develop effective strategies to limit their spread. The agave weevil, Scyphophorus acupunctatus (Coleoptera, Dryophthoridae), is a curculionid beetle native to Central and North America, although it also occurs in Eurasia, Africa, Oceania and South America as a non-native species. Despite being widespread, the extent of occurrence and origins of European populations of the agave weevil have been overlooked. In the present study, the current and potential worldwide distribution of S. acupunctatus was assessed and an analysis of its genetic diversity in the native and non-native ranges was performed. By analysing occurrences from local phytosanitary bulletins and citizen-science platforms, the agave weevil was confirmed to be widely distributed and to occur on all continents, except Antarctica. Additionally, there is potential for expansion throughout the world, as estimated by species distribution models. Nucleotide and haplotype diversity of the COXI mitochondrial gene (about 650 bp) was lower in the non-native (n = 39 samples) than native populations (n = 26 samples). The majority of introduced individuals belonged to the same haplotype, suggesting that most introductions in Europe might have occurred from a small geographical area in Central America. Constant transboundary monitoring and national laws must be considered to reduce the spread of the agave weevil, given that a bridgehead effect may occur from non-native populations to new suitable areas.

Abstract Widely distributed phoretic blister beetles usually display unstructured geographic patterns of genetic diversity within species, resulting from recurrent long-dispersal events across their range. To investigate the extent of this pattern in the phoretic genus Lampromeloe, and particularly in western Mediterranean and European populations of L. variegatus, we performed: (1) a phylogeographic analysis based on fragments of the mitochondrial genes COI and 16S, and (2) a morphological revision based on qualitative and morphometric traits. Two allopatric lineages were recovered within L. variegatus, one distributed across Europe and the other in North Africa. These lineages are readily distinguishable based on morphological traits. We conclude that these lineages constitute two diagnosable evolutionary units and, consequently, we describe the North African populations as a new species, Lampromeloe pantherinus sp. nov. The new species is closely related to L. variegatus, from which it differs mainly by the elytral macrosculpture and by the shape of male genitalia. The elytral macrosculpture of L. pantherinus is somewhat similar to that of L. cavensis, a species widely distributed in the lowlands of the Mediterranean Basin. However, these two non-sister species can be distinguished by the morphology and macrosculpture of the pronotum and by the shape of the male genitalia. BibTeX

Abstract The genus Heteropsectropus Kaszab, 1941 (Tenebrionidae: Blaptinae: Platynotini) is revised to include the following three species: H. aenescens Kaszab, 1941 (type species); H. difficilis Koch, 1954; H. longantennatus Koch, 1954. Four synonymies are proposed: H. difficilis (= H. amaroides Koch, 1954 syn. nov., = H. natalensis Koch, 1954 syn. nov., = H. transvaalensis Koch, 1954 syn. nov.) and H. longantennatus Koch, 1954 (= H. montisdraconis Koch, 1954 syn. nov.). A new genus, Muelleropsectropus gen. nov., is introduced to accommodate Schyzoschelus malaisei Koch, 1954. Additionally, the following synonomies are introduced within Schyzoschelus Koch, 1954: Schyzoschelus dumosicola (= Schyzoschelus dumosicola var. diversipenis Koch, 1954 syn. nov.) and Schyzoschelus simplicipes (= Schyzoschelus simplicipes willowmorensis Koch, 1954 syn. nov.). Diagnostic features and relations between the genera of the Schyzoschelus generic group are discussed and an identification key to the genera and the species of Heteropsectropus is provided. Ovovivipary is reported for H. difficilis and represents the 15th known case of this mode of reproduction for darkling beetles. The first description of pupal morphology for the subtribe Eurynotina is provided as well as that of the first- and later instar larvae.http://zoobank.org/urn: lsid: zoobank.org: pub:4BBC4EBB-C09B-4083-B731-96AB843B4965http://zoobank.org/urn: lsid: zoobank.org: act:4D466EB6-2F12-4EA2-8D25-8DAA31C86787 BibTeX

Four synonymies are proposed: H. difficilis (= H. amaroides Koch, 1954 syn. nov., = H. natalensis Koch, 1954 syn. nov., = H. transvaalensis Koch, 1954 syn. nov.) and H. longantennatus Koch, 1954 (= H. montisdraconis Koch, 1954 syn. nov.). A new genus, Muelleropsectropus gen. nov., is introduced to accommodate Schyzoschelus malaisei Koch, 1954. Additionally, the following synonomies are introduced within Schyzoschelus Koch, 1954: Schyzoschelus dumosicola (= Schyzoschelus dumosicola var. diversipenis Koch, 1954 syn. nov.) and Schyzoschelus simplicipes (= Schyzoschelus simplicipes willowmorensis Koch, 1954 syn. nov.). Diagnostic features and relations between the genera of the Schyzoschelus generic group are discussed and an identification key to the genera and the species of Heteropsectropus is provided. Ovovivipary is reported for H. difficilis and represents the 15th known case of this mode of reproduction for darkling beetles. The first description of pupal morphology for the subtribe Eurynotina is provided as well as that of the first- and later instar larvae.http://zoobank.org/urn: lsid: zoobank.org: pub:4BBC4EBB-C09B-4083-B731-96AB843B4965http://zoobank.org/urn: lsid: zoobank.org: act:4D466EB6-2F12-4EA2-8D25-8DAA31C86787",

Abstract The click-beetle genus Elathous Reitter, 1890 (Elateridae: Dendrometrinae) contains almost 50 species distributed in the Palaearctic and Nearctic realms. Specimens of this genus are rare in collections, partly due to their largely unknown biology and ecology. Until now, larvae were known only for three species, all of them described decades ago. Due to the intensive fieldwork research by the first author, who found larvae of Elathous agilis Ne'meth, 2019 in Lebanon and Elathous brucki (Cande'ze, 1878) in Greece, we have an opportunity to describe their morphology for the first time. We compare them with each other and the remaining known larvae of Elathous and related genera. Although we are able to differentiate larvae of all known Elathous species, our limited knowledge on dendrometrine immature stages as well as the genus-level systematics is insufficient to propose a reliable generic diagnosis for Elathous based on the larval morphology. Additionally, we provide updated information on biology and ecology of Elathous species. BibTeX

Abstract Natural forests (closed habitats) and meadows (open habitats) are essential for the conservation of terrestrial biodiversity. Pubescent biotopes are of considerable importance as well. It is crucial to obtain data on the spatial distribution of Coleoptera in such biotopes because it helps protect natural biotopes. The research was conducted in 2020 on the territory of the Republic of Mordovia (the center of the European part of Russia). Beer traps (with beer bait) were used to collect Coleoptera. The collections were carried out from April to October in various forests and open biotopes. To clarify the spatial distribution of Coleoptera, various forest interiors (meadow, edges, in the depths of the forest) were studied at two experimental sites. A total of 7771 Coleoptera specimens were recorded. In the open biotopes, the smallest numerical abundance of Coleoptera was obtained with relatively high species richness. The lowest species richness was obtained in the depths of the forest at a height of 7.5 m. The edges of forests at a height of 1.5 m differed in the maximum species richness and number. At a height of 7.5 m, the number of Coleoptera was the greatest, but the species diversity was very low. The number of saproxious species was higher in forest biotopes. The number of anthophilic species was higher in the traps installed at the bottom. Differences in the number of species and individuals on different edges (northern, eastern, and western) were also determined. Thus, on the eastern and northern edges, in contrast to the western edge, the numerical abundance at the top was higher than at the bottom. BibTeX
