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.

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

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.

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",

International Journal of Pest Management, pages 1 - 12, 2024.
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 The leaf chafer tribe Alvarengiini Frey, a long‐neglected taxon that has been overlooked in the biodiversity literature from its inception, is revised for the first time. As a result of this research, the tribe is composed of two species in two genera distributed from Bahia, Brazil (in the north), to Paraná, Brazil (in the south), and Paraguay. Two synonyms are proposed: Alvarengius silphoides Frey, syn. nov. for Ottokelleria dispar (Burmeister) and Alvarengius Frey, syn. nov. for Ottokelleria D'Andretta & Martínez. A new genus is described, Carinochilus, gen. nov., and includes one species: Carinochilus marginatus (Burmeister), comb. nov. The lectotype for O. dispar and a neotype for C. marginatus are designated. We provide an identification key to the tribes of Rutelinae (in English and Portuguese) and incorporate classification changes in the subfamily. A key for the identification of Alvarengiini genera and species is also provided. All taxa are circumscribed and illustrated, and URL BibTeX
