University of Debrecen, Debrecen, Hungary author Varga, Zoltán 2022-07-31 2022-07-31 2022 Contributions to Entomology 2511-6428 0005-805X 72 1 1 35 2022 10.3897/contrib.entomol.72.e87196 https://contributions-to-entomology.arphahub.com/article/87196/ https://contributions-to-entomology.arphahub.com/article/87196/download/pdf/ https://contributions-to-entomology.arphahub.com/article/87196/download/xml/ The oreal fauna is connected with orographically limited non-arboreal habitats. Its chorological centres can be recognised by the high species-diversity of numerous typical genera, and by the accumulated occurrence of endemic species and/or subspecies of disjunct species. The oreal fauna is partitioned to the alpine type, as the faunal type of humid high-mountains with strong connections to the tundral zonobiome, and the xeromontane type, as the faunal type of arid high-mountains with close connections to the eremic zonobiomes. As the results of revisions of several Noctuinae genera, species groups and/or sister species were recognised and their distributions were mapped. The restricted areas of allopatric sister species, often described by us as new for science, fulfil the criteria of the “areas of endemism”. Core areas of the Palaearctic xeromontane Noctuidae, outlined by the distribution of endemic species, have been proven by the occurrence of allopatric subspecies of polytypic species, and/or by the presence of allopatric sister species. In the revised genera of Noctuidae several types of allopatric speciation have been identified based on the analysis of the areas of endemism and of vicariance patterns. As a result of these analyses, it is proved that allopatric sister species, as elementary monophyletic supraspecific units, are suitable for phylogenetic biogeographical surveys. Although the major part of the xeromontane fauna appears to be range-restricted, a considerable fraction of the species could have expanded into the steppic zonobiome due to adaptive changes of their life cycles. High diversity of cold-adapted species originated from the Sino-Himalayan mountains by passing two main filtercorridors. One track of this bifurcation was directed across the “Rhododendron-corridor” to the Holarctic taiga zone while the other one, across the “Xeromontane filter-corridor” to the mountain systems of Central and Inner Asia. This bifurcation becomes apparent from the taxonomic division of the genera, composing both of these main faunal types. Supposedly, the faunal movements of the xeromontanean species in the West Palaearctic had been shaped by the Messinian salinity crisis and, additionally, significantly influenced by the Mid-Pleistocene climatic transition which deeply transformed the zonality of the vegetation by cooling and aridisation of vast areas. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Noctuidae oreal fauna xeromontane fauna areas of endemism monophyletic species groups allopatric speciation climatic constraints filter-corridors Centres of endemism of Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) in the Palaearctic arid mountains: biogeographical and phylogenetic implications Research Article

Simultaneous investigations in different temperature ranges, as they are found in mountain ranges with their different altitudinal belts, offer the possibility to take a look at this future. In 2019, the species diversity of beetles was investigated in an altitudinal gradient in the Bavarian Forest and in the neighbouring Neuburger Forest using 144 flight interception traps distributed in eight strict forest reserves and in reference areas in surrounding managed forests. In total, 16,090 individuals were identified to the species level, resulting in 716 beetle species. Rare and exceptional findings are presented and discussed. The altitudinal difference of over 1,000 m led to a distinct variation of the species composition in the different altitudinal zones. For several species of the montane region the ongoing climate change will possibly influence their survival in this region. The differences between the species communities in strict forest reserves and managed stands, with the silvicultural methods practised in this region, were quite small. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Insects Coleoptera Bavarian Forest flight interception traps altitudinal gradient strict forest reserves Käfer (Coleoptera) in einem Höhengradient des Bayerischen Waldes – ein Vergleich von Naturwaldreservaten und Wirtschaftswäldern Research Article

Lulilan obscurus and L. spinifer are the closest relatives of L. furcatus (Hardwicke, 1823). The elongated abdominal segments 7–8 and long dististyli in the males are synapomorphies of the three species, while a processus (sternal spur) at the male’s 2nd abdominal sternum is indicative of a sistergroup relationship between obscurus and spinifer. - The wings of Phine succinea are devoid of any markings. Abdominal segments 7 and 8 are distally enlarged in the male. Medigynium (female) with a medium-sized apodeme.

Several specimens of the previously unknown female of Graphomya rossi Zielke, 1974 were found among the material. The female’s taxonomic characters are described in detail, also taking into account the intraspecific variability of some features of the females. The identification of the specimens of Hydrotaea bella Couri, Pont and Penny, 2006 led to the correction of a wrongly described taxonomic feature in the original species description. The notopleura of H. bella are not bare, as stated by the authors, but are covered with several dark setulae. Three species proved new to science and are described as Gymnodia malagasya spec. nov., Helina amboa spec. nov. and Helina hesitancia spec. nov. This means that six Gymnodia and eleven Helina species are now recorded from Madagascar. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Afrotropical Region Madagascar Muscidae Gymnodia Helina new species Faunistic and taxonomic notes on some Madagascan Muscidae (Diptera) and descriptions of three new species Research Article

In many cases, especially in insects, such mountain endemics are often apterous (due to their reduced ability to fly and disperse). In most cases, so far, these mountain endemics are genetically differentiated from lowland sister species or populations. During an excursion in Central Spain, we encountered two such strikingly different morphotypes of the rove beetle Lobrathium multipunctum (Gravenhorst, 1802) (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Paederinae). The morphotype from high elevation was smaller and paler than those at low elevation, which were slightly larger, darker and regularly coloured. The high altitude morphotype was earlier considered a separate species (Lobrathium hispanicum Dodero, 1916) from its widespread lower-land counterpart (Lobrathium multipunctum (Gravenhorst, 1802)) before their relatively recent synonymy. Using the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) barcode region, we tested whether these distinct morphotypes are distinct species. We found that their synonymy is supported, based on multiple species delimitation methods. We suggest that this phenomenon may be more widespread amongst insects and other organismal groups. We note that the presence of high altitude morphotypes which are phylogenetically nested within, or genetically identical to, widespread lowland species (regular morphotype) is rarely reported in the literature on beetles (and other insects). These findings thus highlight the need for caution when describing mountain endemics and further highlight DNA barcoding as a helpful tool for their study. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung beetles barcoding mountains endemics COI species delimitation Central Spain High altitude morphotype of the widespread Lobrathium multipunctum (Gravenhorst, 1802) (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Paederinae) revealed by DNA-barcoding Research Article

Pamphilius mediterraneus sp. nov. is described from Italy (Sicily). It belongs to the alternans sub-group of the alternans species group. Pristiphora omalos sp. nov. is described from Greece (Crete). It belongs to the depressa species group. New junior synonyms are Calameuta tazzekae Lacourt, 1991 of Calameuta gaullei (Konow, 1896), and Emphytus leucostomus Costa, 1890 of Allantus cingulatus (Scopoli, 1763). Periclista rufiventris Zombori, 1979 is moved from the subgenus Periclista to the subgenus Neocharactus. Ametastegia (Protemphytus) persica Khayrandish, Talebi & Blank, 2015 is recorded for the first time in Europe, from Italy (Sicily), and a key to West Palaearctic Protemphytus species provided. Allantus enslini (Forsius, 1918) is more widespread in southern Europe than previously recorded. An identification key distinguishes it from its closer West Palaearctic relatives. New hostplant records are for Halidamia affinis (Fallén, 1807) (Rubia peregrina), Janus compressus (Fabricius, 1793) (Sorbus torminalis), and Macrophya albicincta (Schrank, 1776) (Centranthus ruber).

The females of this subgroup share a striking character: the orange-coloured lower face, previously known only in H. xanthostoma. The inter-specific differences are cryptic in both sexes. Seven species are newly described: Hylaeus (Deranchylaeus) aurantiacus sp. nov. ♀♂, H. (D.) burundis sp. nov. ♂, H. (D.) lyriformis sp. nov. ♂, H. (D.) sambiensis sp. nov. ♂, H. (D.) portokalius sp. nov. ♂♀, H. (D.) diastictus sp. nov. ♂ and H. (D.) jemeniticus sp. nov. ♀. This subgroup also includes H. (D.) promontorii (Meade-Waldo, 1923) and H. (D.) venustus Dathe, 2014, whose females are described for the first time. From Cameroon, the male of a second species of the subgenus Pumilaeus is described as new: H. (Pumilaeus) soukontouai sp. nov. New records of species of the genus Hylaeus F. in sub-Saharan Africa are added and a revised identification key to the subgenus Deranchylaeus is presented, to include the new species. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Deranchylaeus Pumilaeus identification keys male terminalia new species taxonomy subgroups zoogeography New insights into the taxonomy of the Hylaeus xanthostoma complex and further additions to the African Hylaeus fauna (Hymenoptera, Anthophila, Colletidae) Research Article

One species is Potamophylax cingulatus and the other is Micropterna sequax. Potamophylax cingulatus was not found in several extensive surveys before 1942, conducted by several entomologists. During a survey in streams in 1974–1978, the species was found to be common in east and north-east Iceland, but the Trichoptera species Apatania zonella was absent, where it was common before 1942. Searching collections of unidentified Trichoptera, a single specimen was found in east Iceland on 30 July 1959. The survey was repeated in 2004–2006 and the species had colonised most streams and rivers in Iceland and A. zonella had disappeared from many of them. Potamophylax cingulatus was first recorded in two light traps in south Iceland in 1997 with two specimens. The catch has increased continuously to 267 in 2022. Micropterna sequax was found in a single light trap at Mógilsá near Reykjavik in 2008. The annual catch has since grown from two specimens to 144. The species was found at Hvanneyri, 40 km north of the original site it was recorded from in 2018 (8 specimens) and, in 2021, it was found in Kjós, 11 km from the original site (one specimen based on a photograph). The dispersal rate for P. cingulatus was about 7–9 km/year, but the dispersal rate for the more recent settler M. sequax was found to be 4 km/year. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Colonisation dispersal population growth Trichoptera Dispersal rate of Potamophylax cingulatus and Micropterna sequax (Trichoptera) in Iceland Research Article

Seven principal types of sensory structures were found: pointed trichoid, blunt chaetoid, campaniform, thin basiconic, thick basiconic, petaloid, and pseudoplacoid sensilla. Pointed trichoid and blunt chaetoid sensilla occur on every palp segment. First and, especially, second segments of maxillary palps have bunches of very large blunt chaetoid sensilla on medial surfaces. Campaniform sensilla were found only on basal segments. Pseudoplacoid sensilla are common on the terminal segments of both labial and maxillary palps except for Ptilocolepidae and Hydroptilidae. The petaloid sensilla forming the sensory fields are found in groups surrounded by the soft cuticle, generally in depressions, on the apical segments either on maxillary and labial palps in Hydrobiosidae and Rhyacophilidae, only on labial palps in other studied Integripalpia, or on apical labial palp segment and third and fourth maxillary palp segments in Annulipalpia. The pointed tips of both maxillary and labial palps in lower families have apical sensory complexes looking like small conical outgrowths without microtrichia, each with one large thick basiconic sensilla on its tip and several shorter thick basiconic sensilla on lateral surfaces. We consider these seven types of sensilla along with the apical sensory complex and the assemblage of the petaloid sensilla as a part of Trichoptera ground plan. This primitive diversity changes in evolution so the apical sensory complex, the fields of petaloid sensilla, the groups of very long blunt trichoid sensilla of basal segments, and the pseudoplacoid sensilla disappear in some advanced instances, more often on the maxillary palps. Interspecific variations of sensilla might be important for species discrimination, while the distribution of certain sensory structures is important for higher taxonomy. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung apical sensory complex labial palp maxillary palp sensilla sensory field Trichoptera Sensory structures on mouthpart palps in Trichoptera: ground plan and basal evolution trends Research Article

The genus has an almost worldwide but patchy distribution, represented by close to 280 species among which the Australian fauna of 55 species represents around 20%. In an attempt to understand the radiation of the genus in Australia, this paper explores the morphology and biology of Australian species and discusses a number of contrasts with reports on the biology of congeners in the Northern Hemisphere. The possible significance of these differences in Australian representatives of the genus is suggested to have played a role in the ‘success’ of the genus in the region. The value of life history studies to our understanding of biodiversity and biogeography is emphasized. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Hypermetamorphosis larvae life history pupae Radiation of the microcaddisfly genus Orthotrichia (Trichoptera, Hydroptilidae) in Australia Research Article

We performed both field surveys and laboratory rearing experiments to clarify the mechanisms of R. lezeyi cocoon shrinkage. The R. lezeyi cocoon shrinkage proportion increased in years with high stream water temperatures and was related to water temperatures before and after pupation at the study site. Approximately 90% of the prepupae and pupae inside the shrinking cocoons died during the rearing experiment, implying that cocoon shrinkage caused by high water temperature strongly influenced R. lezeyi pupal survival. Laboratory experiments showed that R. lezeyi’s pupal cocoon membranes were semi-permeable and that the cocoon fluids were always hyperosmotic, indicating that water molecules can continuously enter the cocoon fluids from the stream water until the turgor of the cocoon wall is reached. However, the shrinking cocoons showed lower fluid volume and higher osmolarity than the normal turgescent cocoons. The reduction of osmotic gradient across the membrane during decreased stream flow due to less precipitation and/or the damage to the cocoon membrane and pupal body from high and fluctuating water temperatures and low pH are possible mechanisms for R. lezeyi pupal cocoon shrinkage. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung cocoon shrinkage membrane semi-permeability osmolarity pH water temperature Shrinking pupal cocoons of Rhyacophila lezeyi (Trichoptera, Rhyacophilidae) in a highly acidic stream during the summer season Research Article

The new species are documented by photos and line drawings. An update of the hitherto described taxa of Tarachoptera is provided including information about the depository of type material. The phylogenetic position of Tarachoptera in the amphiesmenopteran clade is discussed. A hypothetical cladogram based on cladistic principles was constructed to demonstrate the phylogenetic relationship combining Tarachoptera, Trichoptera, and Lepidoptera.

One is to lay the eggs underwater so larvae can start a free life immediately after hatching. Another method is to lay the eggs above water and the hatched larvae fall or wriggle into the water. Caddisflies from waters that dry out in summer often have a female diapause gradually becoming sexually mature and often do not lay their clutches until late summer or autumn, when rising water levels flood the eggs. The hatched larvae develop into pupae by March-May, from which adult caddisflies hatch again emergence beginning in spring. Some caddisflies from waters that dry out lay in summer and those eggs hatch soon after laying so it is as a larva that they survive the dry period. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung behaviour Britain eggs larvae early instars Trichoptera The behaviour of recently-hatched caddis larvae from temporary water bodies in the British Isles Research Article

This has been a long-lamented condition, but the proportion of species identifications available for aquatic forms that are used in these efforts has increased little over the past half-century. This is despite repeated and documented advantages that species-level identifications add to monitoring studies. Approaches to examining this question have ranged from anecdotal accounts of pollution tolerance among species within a genus to detailed analyses comparing information available through different hierarchical levels of taxonomy, from species to family. Justifications for not using species-level taxonomic resolution have ranged from financial considerations to suggestions that higher levels are equally as valid in showing trends as are species-level identifications. However, the evidence justifying the use of higher levels of taxonomy is lacking and more evidence favors the value of species-level identifications. Genetic techniques offer the promise of more larval-adult associations, more useful identification keys, and improved biological monitoring. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung biomonitoring history pollution assessment taxonomic sufficiency water quality Species versus generic identifications in water-quality monitoring and ecological studies of Trichoptera in North America: Is this question still unresolved after half a century?

Community science can be an avenue to reduce costs, broaden the scope of sampling, and, most importantly, connect with members of the public who are interested in and impacted by long-term ecological change. In 2021, we formulated a community science project – The Caddisfly Collective. Our goal was to study the regional influences on the responses of stream caddisfly (Trichoptera) communities to urbanization in the United States and Canada. Community scientists helped us achieve this goal by collecting caddisflies across a wider geographic scale than we could have reached on our own. To build The Caddisfly Collective, we recruited participants through social media and other online forums. We mailed collecting kits with a USB-powered ultraviolet LED light, a collecting container, bottles of preservative, data sheets, and collection labels to each participant; participants mailed back specimens and completed data sheets. There was a 79.7% rate of follow-through from sign-up to collection. During the project, 63 participants set up light-traps near urban and non-urban streams in seven different North American geographic regions, collecting adult caddisflies at 141 sites across the United States and Canada. Most sites were in the Midwest region, while the fewest sites were in the Far North region. Urban areas, classified by land cover data, comprised ~29% of total sites. We hope the details of our project can help other interested scientists implement similar projects in the future, especially focused on ecologically important caddisfly communities. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung aquatic entomology citizen science community ecology community science public participation in scientific research urban ecology The Caddisfly Collective: Methods of assessing Trichoptera diversity on a continental scale with community scientists Methods

Fifty-eight extinct species are listed, three of which are still described here: Paduniella cretacea sp. nov., Palerasnitsynus vilarinoi sp. nov., Palleptocerus kuranishii sp. nov. The extinct subfamily Palerasnitsyninae stat. nov. of the family Xiphocentronidae is established and the extinct Bipectinata orientalis comb. nov. is transferred from the family Calamoceratidae to the family Odontoceridae. The extinct family Lepidochlamidae Wang et al., 2022, stat. nov. is transferred to the superfamily Leptoceroidea. The fifty-eight caddisflies of Burmese amber are distributed among twenty-one genera and fourteen families, of which fifteen genera and four families are also extinct. The large time distance between extinct and extant organisms makes the assignment to the extant genera and families difficult, because the higher taxa are defined according to the species living today and often do not or hardly correspond to the earlier species and their adaptations. Furthermore, in line with the hypothesis of a Gondwanan origin of Burmese amber, some embedded Trichopterans are discussed as relict descendants of Gondwanan Trichoptera, e.g. the family Palleptoceridae and the Xiphocentronid subfamily Palerasnitsyninae. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Evolutionary history Fossil record Gondwana Trichoptera checklist West Burma Block Fossil Trichoptera embedded in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber Review Article

Eight species had univoltine life cycles; seven species had spring to early summer emergence seasons. One species had an autumnal emergence. Four univoltine species had periods where no larvae or pupae were collected in aquatic stages, possibly a period of egg diapause. Three species had bivoltine life cycles, with early summer and autumn emergence seasons. Rhyacophila nipponica Iwata, 1927, R. manuleata AV Martynov, 1934, and R. shikotsuensis Iwata, 1927, in the nigrocephala species group Ross, 1956, have larvae which spend most of their larval stage in the hyporheos. The larvae of R. transquilla Tsuda, 1940, also inhabit the hyporheic zone, although the vertical microhabitat used by this species differed from the former three species. All four of these species have hyporheic larval stages, but in these species the first and final instar larvae reside on the surfaces of cobbles. The first instar larvae seem to live on stone surfaces immediately after hatching, and subsequently move to the interstices of sand. Final instar larvae live in the interstices of sandy bottom, and move to stone surfaces for pupation. Eleven species of the genus Rhyacophila had diverse life histories, microhabitat preferences, and experienced differing water temperature regimes during larval stages at the sites. Life history and habitat preference variation enhances the species richness of the genus and coexistence of species in upper stream of the Kinokawa River. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung coexistence of species egg dormancy hyporheic zone microhabitat shift nigrocephala species group species richness Life cycles and larval and pupal habitats of eleven Japanese Rhyacophila (Trichoptera) species at the mountain streams in central Honshu Research Article

We investigated the underlying mechanism for the variations in the morphology of each copulating device, based on the copulation state. Notably, the male anal sclerites underwent considerable changes from the early stages of copulation. Initially, the female segment VIII approached the male anal sclerites, which were pushed downwards by the female VIII and IX segments, extending from IX. With the progression of mating stage, the distended end of the female’s segment VIII covered the anal sclerites, pushing them further down. The male parameres were initially folded in bellows-like shapes under the aedeagus before copulation initiation. However, as the copulation stage advanced, they extended to about 3.2 times of their original length. Distended ends of both parameres adhered to the position of the spiracles at the anterior margin of the lateral part of the female’s VII abdominal sternite. The attachment site was the external surface of the hair bulb of the male parameres. During the middle stage of copulation, movements involving the opening and closing of the male gonopods started. The gonoslylus made strong contact with the female’s abdominal segment VIII, resulting in the deformation of segment VIII due to the contact pressure. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung anal sclerites copulatory organ female segment VIII fixed pairs mating copulation parameres Functional morphology of the genitalia of Rhyacophila lezeyi Navas, 1933 (Trichoptera, Rhyacophilidae) Research Article

It has been reported in some beetles and other insects and even in some frogs. Common features of phragmosis in caddisfly larvae include a hard and usually flat body surface, with or without stout spines, and the behavior of fitting that body surface tightly in the opening of its case. A different defensive strategy occurs in snails and case-making larvae of camptosomate leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae: Cryptocephalinae and Lamprosomatinae) that protect themselves from predators by securing the openings of their shells or cases firmly against the substrate, a behavior we call “cathaptosis.” Common features of cathaptosis in caddisfly larvae include a case with its vulnerable opening oriented parallel with the substrate and accompanied by behavior that grips the substrate, fixing the case opening firmly against it when threatened. We suggest that these defensive strategies have evolved multiple times in Trichoptera, especially in case-making larvae. We demonstrate some examples and provide tentative lists of caddisflies whose larvae may have evolved these defensive strategies. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung behavior case cover evolution predator shield Defensive phragmosis and cathaptosis in Trichoptera larvae Research Article

Despite their close taxonomic relationship to Lepidoptera, few studies have examined the hazard of Bt toxins on Trichoptera. We performed laboratory exposure tests to examine the effects of Bt var. aizawai on filter-feeding caddisflies, particularly Stenopsyche marmorata. In the continuous exposure test, the mortalities ranged from 0% at 1 mg/l to 100% at 20 mg/l 24 hours after exposure to Bta. The mortality at each concentration increased from 24 to 48 hours. In limited contact, mortality increased with contact time. Acclimatisation and water quality also affected larval mortality. Our results suggest that higher concentration and longer exposure to Bta affect or affect the increase of larval mortality. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Bacillus thuringiensis filter feeding caddisflies insecticide larvae of Stenopsyche marmorata mortality pest control Effect of Bt toxin on net-spinning caddisfly Stenopsyche marmorata (Trichoptera, Stenopsychidae) Research Article

Aligned with such differences is the selective niche location chosen by many species from the subfamily. Typically, they live on the sediments of cold, well-oxygenated mountain streams from the Eurasian Region. However, each of the three evolutionary lineages (shredders, grazers and carnivorous filter feeders) inhabit different hydraulic locations according to their foraging behaviour. To investigate the relationship between the body morphology and the flow field near the body, we use Large Eddy Simulations to compute the flow past five different species of the subfamily. We selected species representing the three evolutionary lineages of the subfamily, Drusus alpinus Meyer-Dür 1875 from the shredders clade, D. bosnicus Klapálek 1899 and D. monticola McLachlan 1876 from the grazers clade and Cryptothrix nebulicola McLachlan 1867 and D. discolor (Rambur 1842) from the filter feeders clade. For the simulations, three-dimensional body shapes were reconstructed from X-ray micro CT data and exposed to a turbulent flow corresponding to water-depth and velocity data measured in the field. The total forces acting on each morphotype were found to be comparable. The lift coefficients computed and ranging from 0.07 to 0.17 are smaller than the drag coefficients which were found to range from 0.32 to 0.55. The local distribution of the skin-friction indicates flow-separation zones near the edges of the bodies, in particular, between the head and the pronotum, which are differently located according to each species. Moreover, we observe higher streamwise normal stresses upstream of the head of the filter feeder species. It is hypothesised that the upstream horseshoe vortex can lift up drifting food particles and transport these to the larvae’s filtering legs, thereby enhancing the encounter rates of particles with the filtering devices. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung ecomorphology Insecta larva numerical flow analysis Trichoptera Hydraulic engineering of Drusinae larvae: head morphologies and their impact on surrounding flow fields Research Article

Three periods of exhaustive sampling may be distinguished: the Sixties; 1994 to 2002; and a long period from 2007 to the present time in the frame of the Water Framework Directive. Bearing in mind the uneven sampling procedure across periods, we aim to document changes in community composition and distribution through time including the nature of these changes (e.g. gains and losses of species). We hypothesise different trends of species gains and losses for specialist species in comparison to generalist species. Therefore, we propose a method to identify specialist and generalist species in our dataset. Historical data (1961 to 1968) lack information on precise locations and abundance of specimen collected. Consequently, cell grids of original distribution maps are used to compare caddisfly community assemblages along the three monitoring periods. We assess the changes that occur on presence/absence data in specific groups of species (i.e. cold-adapted, warm-adapted specialists and generalist species). Temporal β-diversity results reveal that survey intervals for each monitoring period are dominated by species losses when the comparison is restricted to cold-adapted species. On the other hand, warm-adapted and generalist species are increasing from the Sixties period when compared to the two next periods (1994–2002 and 2007–2020). However, the comparison of the most recent periods reveals species losses even for the warm-adapted and generalist species. This complex picture of caddisflies species losses and gains in different ways through time, amongst river types and in response to different pressures, is discussed. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung freshwater ecosystems long-term time monitoring macroinvertebrates specialist and generalist species Changes in caddisflies community composition and distribution along 60 years timespan monitoring in Luxembourg Research Article

Fossil evidence indicates that caddisflies evolved at least by the Norian of Late Triassic (median age 222.6 Ma), compared with our estimate of at least 201.3 Ma. The ancestors of suborders Annulipalpia and Integripalpia also evolved as early as the Norian. Fossil evidence indicates that the ancestor of subterorder Phryganides lived at least by the Aalenian of Middle Jurassic (median age 173.6 Ma), compared with our estimate of at least 174.1 Ma. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung BEAST caddisfly fossil Jurassic phylogeny Triassic Revised chronology of Trichoptera evolution Research Article

(Stenotyphlus) canariensis Outerelo, 1982, from La Gomera and E. (Stenotyphlus) lauricola Outerelo & Hernández, 1989, from Tenerife, both found in deep soil (= endogean) habitats. In this paper, we describe Entomoculia (Stenotyphlus) vulcanica sp. nov., the third Canarian species of the genus, which is reported for the first time from Gran Canaria and has been found in the mesovoid shallow substratum “MSS”. This new species has some of the characteristics that are specific to Canarian species of the genus Entomoculia, such as the lack of a denticle or spiniform process on the male metatrochanters. However, it is a remarkable species as it is the only known species of the genus with a tridentate labrum, as the labrum is monodentate in the species so far known from Canary Islands and bidentate in non-Canary species. We provide a key to Canarian species and illustrations of the habitus and the primary and secondary sexual characters of the male. We also describe the sampling techniques used and provide detailed information on habitat characteristics and associated arthropod fauna. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung endemics islands Macaronesia new species rove beetles taxonomy A new subterranean species of Entomoculia Croissandeau, 1891 from the Canary Islands, Spain (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Leptotyphlinae) Research Article

Specimens explicitly marked or indicated as types belonging to the lucioline fireflies were investigated with each specimen and its accompanying labels photographed, and its morphological characters analysed and compared with the original species description. The genitalia dissections of selected types enabled redescription and clarification of the taxonomic status of seven name-bearing type specimens. This study provides the first redescriptions of holotypes, designation of lectotypes for five species, and confirmation that two of these belong in the genus Luciola s. str. A lectotype and paralectotype were designated for two specimens of Luciola cerea Gorham, 1882 which is confirmed to belong to the genus Curtos Motschulsky, 1845. Atyphella testaceolineata Pic, 1939 was redescribed and figured based on the holotype (an incomplete specimen). We assigned Luciola laticollis Gorham, 1883 and Luciola nicollieri Bugnion, 1922 to Luciola sensu stricto and Luciola picea Gorham, 1882 to species inquirenda. The identity of Pteroptyx decolor Olivier, 1911 is finally confirmed as a close Indonesian relative of Pteroptyx valida Olivier,1909 and a lectotype is designated. In addition, we take the first opportunity to present pictures of the original holotype of Pygoluciola stylifer Wittmer, 1939. We also discuss the challenges taxonomists face in identifying specimens and how detailed dissections allow us to present descriptions of certain male features not previously addressed. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Atyphella Curtos Indonesia Luciola sensu stricto name-bearing type Philippines Pteroptyx decolor Southeast Asia Sri Lanka A catalogue and redescription of type specimens of fireflies (Coleoptera, Lampyridae, Luciolinae) deposited in Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden Research Article

They represent two morphotypes: one conicocephalate and one belonging to the tribe Ripidiini (represented by four specimens). The conicocephalate morphotype is compared with similar larvae known from Kachin, Taimyr and Manitoba Cretaceous amber, and the larvae of Ripidiini are compared with their Cretaceous, Eocene and extant relatives. Phylogenetic analyses were performed to establish a working hypothesis about possible relationships of both lineages. The results, which conform with a recent molecular phylogeny, indicate that the larvae described here belong to Ripidiini or are closely related, respectively. To allow taxonomic and systematic work with conicocephalate larvae from Kachin amber, a collective group name †“Ripilarva” nov. is proposed here to accommodate these immature stages. Both species of †“Ripilarva” nov. from Kachin amber are described: †“R.” parabolica sp. nov. and †“R.” kachinensis sp. nov. Syninclusion of †“Ripilarva” kachinensis sp. nov. and four larvae of a species of Ripidiini indicate that females of both ripiphorids chose the same time and microhabitat for oviposition in the Kachin Cretaceous forest. The results are further verified by the use of UV-photography, as the different larval morphotypes occurred in the same resin flow. The presence of larvae of Ripidiini in clusters contrary to the solitary occurrence of †“Ripilarva” nov. in Cretaceous amber of Russia, Canada, USA, and Myanmar is interpreted as a possible result of different oviposition strategies, with different numbers of eggs deposited at one spot.

In this study, we study two bee species belonging to the tribe Anthidiini that defy this general colour pattern. These species feature an almost entirely black integument, contrasting with the typical rich yellow or beige colour pattern found in most members of the genus Anthidium Fabricius, 1804. The new species, A. nigrum Kasparek, sp. nov., was found in the deserts of the northern Sahara, where also another dark congener lives, the little-known Anthidium pullatum Morice, 1916, which is re-described here based on the rediscovery of the type material which has been thought lost. We hypothesise that this colouration phenomenon may be explained by an adaptation to the strong day-and-night temperature differences in the desert environment. The black colouration enables bees to harness solar energy early in the day, capitalizing on enhanced heat retention due to the lower reflectance of their integument. It is hypothesized that this allows bees to optimize their activity pattern during the brief period before temperatures rise to levels posing a high risk of overheating. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Adaptation to extreme climates colouration desert dwellers taxonomy Thermal Melanism Hypothesis Black bees in the desert: Description of a new species of wool carder bee (Hymenoptera, Megachilidae, Anthidium) from the northern Sahara with colouration atypical for xeric environments Research Article

All but one species are common in the Netherlands. Gardens are a natural habitat for many hoverflies. Both species diversity and the abundance of hoverflies can be high, making hoverflies good indicators for an ecological garden health index for insects. The potential contribution of citizen science to gain more ecological knowledge of hoverflies in gardens is discussed. This study shows that photographic capture and biometrical identification are suitable for citizen science projects on hoverflies. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung backyard biodiversity biometrical identification decline of insects photographic capture suburban garden syrphids Hoverflies (Diptera, Syrphidae) in a rural garden and their potential for citizen science Research Article

Several of its species cause damage to avocado (Persea americana Mill.; Lauraceae Juss.) crops in the Americas. Apart from the species of economic importance, there is a paucity of information regarding the host plants of species of Heilipus. This study presents a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on the habits and host plants of this group of weevils, based on a literature review and the examination of label data associated with entomological material in museums and scientific collections. The larval stages of 24 Heilipus species are borers of either seeds or trunks of 38 plant species belonging to 13 genera: 33 species (12 genera) from the family Lauraceae and five species (one genus) from the family Annonaceae Juss. Four new host plant records and the first identification of habits and host plants for H. albovenosus (Champion), H. empiricus (Pascoe), H. fassli (Voss) and H. mirus (Pascoe) are provided. The biology and host plants of the seed and trunk borers are discussed, as well as the oligophagous feeding behaviour exhibited by these two feeding guilds. Seed-boring Heilipus species constitute one of the primary groups of pre-dispersal seed predators of the family Lauraceae in the Americas. Furthermore, the high diversity of Heilipus and its host plants in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest suggests that this area may be a possible centre of origin for these weevils. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Annonaceae avocado Lauraceae oligophagy pre-dispersal seed predators trunk borers Annonaceae aguacate Lauraceae oligofagia depredadores de semillas pre-dispersión barrenadores de troncos Host plants of the weevil genus Heilipus Germar, 1824 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Molytinae, Molytini, Hylobiina) Research Article

We studied 24 greenhouses for their invertebrate fauna with a special focus on ants. Identifications were initialised by iNaturalist and its community, followed by literature, COI barcoding and consulting experts in some cases. We report 32 introduced species including eight new records at the regional, national or continental scale, four of which are ants. Technomyrmex difficilis and Solenopsis texana are recorded for the first time in Germany. Plagiolepis alluaudi and Technomyrmex vitiensis are new for Berlin and Brandenburg. Alepia cf. viatrix (Diptera, Psychodidae) is first recorded for continental Eurasia. Cryptotermes cavifrons (Blattodea, Kalotermitidae) and Geonemertes pelaensis (Hoplonemertea, Prosorhochmidae) are recorded the first time for Europe. An unidentified species of the genus Anisorhynchodemus (Tricladida, Geoplanidae) is recorded the first time for Germany. Here, we present records for 37 species (five of the ant species are native), all associated with pictures in iNaturalist. For 33 individuals of 20 species, we also provide COI sequence data supporting their identification. Furthermore, the comparison of greenhouse metadata with species composition showed that the introduced ant species are dependent on a high minimum temperature in the greenhouse. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Biological invasions COI barcoding greenhouse fauna iNaturalist introduced species new records Introduced greenhouse-invertebrates in Potsdam and Berlin with a focus on ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) with eight new records for Europe, Germany or the Berlin-Brandenburg region Research Article

New synonyms are herein proposed: Peronaspis Suvorov, 1915 = Viridistylus Colonnelli & Paladini, 2019, syn. nov.; Peronaspis claviger (Faust, 1894) = Viridistylus robustus Colonnelli & Paladini, 2019, syn. nov.; Titinia tenuis (Germar, 1848) = Myllocerus bacchus Voss, 1949, syn. nov.; Brachymerinthus Faust, 1886 = Parakasakhstania Magnano, 2009, syn. nov.; Brachyxystus subsignatus subsignatus Faust, 1897 = Polydrusus setifrons kashmirensis Voss, 1959, syn. nov.; Polydrusus rufulus Hochhuth, 1847 = Polydrusus reitteri Kirsch, 1878, reestablished synonymy, = Polydrusus freyi Zumpt, 1933, syn. nov.; Polydrusus viridimaculatus Pic, 1919, stat. nov. = Polydrusus scapularis Pesarini, 1975, syn. nov. New taxonomic status is proposed for Polydrusus viridimaculatus Pic, 1919, stat. nov., which is promoted to species from the subspecies of Polydrusus picus (Fabricius, 1792). New combinations. Brachymerinthus densesquamosus (Magnano, 2009), comb. nov. from Parakasakhstania; Phyllobius (Phyllobius) constellatus (Voss, 1959), comb. nov. and Brachyxystus subsignatus praevius (Voss, 1959), comb. nov. from Polydrusus Germar, 1817. New tribal placements: Sepiomus Aurivillius, 1891 and Cylindromus Aurivillius, 1891 are transferred from Byrsopagini back to Cyphicerini (subtribe Cyphicerina); Brachymerinthus Faust, 1886, is transferred from Phyllobiini to Mesostyloidini, and Brachyxystus Faust, 1897, from Phyllobiini to Polydrusini. The lectotype of Polydrusus picus var. viridimaculatus Pic, 1919 is designated. The type locality of Myllocerus bacchus is Bacchus Marsh, a town near Melbourne in Victoria State, Australia, not Lake Victoria in Africa. Polydrusus rufulus Hochhuth, 1847 is recorded in Iran for the first time. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Byrsopagini Cyphicerini Mesostyloidini Phyllobiini Polydrusini taxonomy weevils Miscellaneous notes on the systematics of and synonymy in Entiminae (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) Research Article

In his professional life, Professor Standfuss worked as a physician and university lecturer in Cologne and Dortmund. Even as an active doctor and especially as a pensioner with diverse scientific interests, he was involved for decades in the ecological reorganisation of his city garden in Dortmund and studied the insect fauna developing there. The transformation of a green wasteland into a botanically rich habitat for insects is regarded in Germany as a prime example of the creation of species-rich natural gardens in inner cities. Klaus Standfuss also became known for his contributions to the insect fauna of Germany and Greece, which he published from 1996 to 2021 together with his wife Lisa Standfuss and other specialists in various insect families. His list of entomological publications includes 42 articles, 31 of which deal with Hymenoptera, 10 with Diptera and one with bibliographical problems. Two species of Hymenoptera were named after the couple Klaus and Lisa Standfuss. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Biography Diptera entomological publications Hymenoptera Klaus Standfuss obituary Klaus Standfuss (1937–2024) als Entomologe – ein Nachruf In Memoriam

In total, 1811 records of 876 Ichneumonid species were found, including 260 unpublished species records. The records originate from the last two centuries, two thirds being made in the last 90 years. The majority of data was collected by renowned Ichneumonid experts like Carl Gravenhorst, Erich Bauer and Rolf Hinz, but also by other scientists conducting surveys on ecological topics. Based on the compiled data, six Darwin wasp species could be added to the German Darwin wasp list, namely: Camposcopus ruficoxis (Schnee and Shaw, in prep.), Coleocentrus soleatus (Gravenhorst, 1829), Netelia contiguator Delrio, 1975, Netelia silvahercynia Theunert, 2021, Proclitus heterocerus (Thomson, 1888) and Tycherus acutus (Gravenhorst, 1829). It can be assumed that the communities of Darwin wasps in the two main natural regions in Southern Lower Saxony, the Weser-Leine Uplands and Harz Mountains, differ in their composition, but this cannot be confirmed with certainty due to the low resolution and the different scope of the data. Apart from poorly studied locations, future surveys should focus on under-sampled habitats and include unrevised material to expand this regional checklist and give detailed information on habitat associations of Darwin wasp species. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Harz history Ichneumonology parasitoids regional diversity Weser-Leine-Bergland 200 years of Darwin wasp research (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) in Southern Lower Saxony (Germany) with an annotated checklist Review Article

This widespread exotic species is well-known because of its invasive nature, impacting biodiversity, public health, and economic activities. Noted for the first time in Málaga (S Spain) in 2018, it has since expanded to other locations in the same province. Here we report the presence of W. auropunctata in La Marina (Alacant province, SE Spain), representing the fifth recorded population on the Iberian Peninsula and the first occurrence outside Málaga province. The species was found infesting a coastal area of approximately 5.1 hectares, with workers being observed in foraging trails across multiple surfaces and living in dense concentrations both indoors and outdoors. Exclusion of native ant species within the occupied area and direct engagement in combat with other species was observed. The population was discovered in September 2024; however, based on infestation density, spatial extent, and comparison with data of other Mediterranean exotic populations, the species likely established in the region prior to 2019. For the first time in Iberia, W. auropunctata was also detected in the coastal dunes adjacent to the infested urbanised area, highlighting its potential adaptability to dry Mediterranean habitats. The resilience of W. auropunctata, combined with its aggressive invasive traits and propensity to sting, underscores the urgent need for integrated management strategies to limit further expansion of the species in Iberia. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Biological invasion coastal ecosystems exotic ants Iberian Peninsula Mediterranean ecosystem Beyond urban boundaries: the invasive ant Wasmannia auropunctata (Roger, 1863) (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) now reaching Iberian coastal habitats Research Article

This study’s objective is to create silver nanoparticles through an economical and environmentally-friendly green synthesis method, employing Trachyspermum ammi leaf extract as a capping and reducing agent. The green synthesized silver nanoparticles (TA-AgNPs) were characterized by UV/Visible spectrum (absorbance peak-419 nm), Scanning electron microscopy (15–45 nm), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (peak at 3 keV), X-ray diffraction (crystalline nature), and FTIR (strong peak at 3122.96 cm-1). Further, the potential of the synthesized silver nanoparticles was subjected against third and fourth larval instar and adult stages of Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti, and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes. The entomological assays were conducted by following WHO guidelines (2005, 2022) at the dose concentrations of 0.5 ppm, 5 ppm, 15 ppm, 25 ppm, 35 ppm, 45 ppm (larvicidal), and 5 ppm, 20 ppm, 35 ppm, 55 ppm, 75 ppm, 95 ppm concentrations (adulticidal) of crude extract and TA-AgNPs. After 24 hours of exposure, the TA-AgNPs treated a group of An. stephensi larvae and adults showed 100% death at their highest dosage. TA-AgNPs demonstrated considerable and superior larvicidal and adulticidal action compared to crude extract. A one-way ANOVA with a p < 0.05 yielded highly significant findings across all genera. The values at the data’s LC50, LC90, and LC95 endpoints were estimated using the probit plane regression analysis. Compared to Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus, the An. stephensi had the highest acute toxicity. TA-AgNPs offered a potent insecticide for limiting epidemics of mosquito-borne diseases. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung LC50 Mosquito probit regression silver nanoparticles Trachyspermum ammi Green synthesized silver nanoparticles using Trachyspermum ammi (TA-AgNPs): A potential bioinsecticide against mosquito stages Research Article

I provide a modified key to Mastinocerinae genera with 12-segmented antennae and the pro- and mesotarsomere I with ventral combs, as well as illustrations of the diagnostic features for this new genus. Finally, I discuss the genus similarities with other phengodid genera in order to hypothesize the genus relationships in the family. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Amboro biodiversity distribution morphology neotropical systematics taxonomy A new genus and a new species of railroad-worm beetles from Bolivia (Coleoptera, Phengodidae, Mastinocerinae) Research Article

However, community studies often require the collection of both species richness and abundance data, which are difficult to obtain for these insects without a proper sampling strategy in certain environmental and population density conditions. In general, box quadrats with high sides (≥ 1 m2) represent a valuable method to assess orthopteran assemblages in open habitats, although their big size might be inappropriate for challenging environments, such as high-elevation alpine grasslands. For this reason, in this paper the effectiveness of a smaller (0.16 m2) and handy (circular-shaped) version of the box quadrat sampling device (hereafter called “mini-round box”) is tested in the field. Then, through a Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) analysis, the positive and negative features of this sampling method are highlighted, focusing in particular on the alpine and subalpine grassland context. Overall, the mini-round box strategy showed a good potential as a handy, easy, cheap, and standardized sampling method, but serious shortcomings in species detection have been observed (i.e. 47% of species undetected in average). A number of valuable strengths and interesting opportunities are counteracted by serious weaknesses and significant threats, which need to be carefully evaluated when planning a sampling design involving orthopterans as indicators. Some solutions to improve the mini-round box accuracy are suggested, perhaps encouraging the performance of biodiversity monitoring and ecological studies on orthopterans in even challenging grassland ecosystems. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Alpine habitats community composition orthoptera qualitative survey sampling accuracy SWOT analysis Mini-round box as standardized sampling method for orthopterans in alpine and subalpine grasslands: a field study to highlight strengths and weaknesses Methods

The genus Formica overwinters entirely as adults. In at least one species it has been demonstrated that winter workers are more corpulent than summer foragers, storing resources in their bodies and mobilizing them for early brood production in spring. Here we examine overwintering by the common western thatch ant, F. obscuripes. Excavation of a winter nest revealed only workers, distributed in multiple chambers in a roughly spherical region from 0.5 to 1.05 m deep. Worker size, as measured by head width, was weakly bimodal, with fewer workers in the small vs. large size class. We measured dry weights of workers from the winter nest and workers collected the previous summer from the surfaces of multiple nests in the vicinity, including our excavated nest. Controlling for size, there was no evidence of bimodality in winter worker weight, and winter workers were 59.7% heavier than summer foragers. These results suggest that F. obscuripes workers are at their maximum corpulence going into their first winter, expend their stored fat during spring, and mostly die before overwintering a second time. It remains uncertain whether workers can regain corpulence. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Overwintering seasonal adaptation worker corpulence Overwintering by the western thatch ant, Formica obscuripes (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) Research Article

This became clear in a morphometric study including 91 worker individuals of Tapinoma jandai sp. nov., Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius, 1793) and Tapinoma pygmaeum (Dufour, 1857). The three species are clearly separable by a principal component analysis of 17 morphological characters under exclusion of pigmentation characters. This result is confirmed by a clear separation in a linear discriminant analysis with the classification of any specimen being confirmed with posterior probabilities of p > 0.9994. The study showed that just the holotype series of Tapinoma pithecorum Seifert, 2022 is a rare color variant of Tapinoma pygmaeum and consequently the former taxon is a junior synonym of the latter. In contrast, all remaining samples that formed the basis of the description of Tapinoma pithecorum are recognized as an undescribed species which is introduced here as Tapinoma jandai sp. nov. A consideration of 14 taxa of minute species showing similarities to the new species revealed that none of these is suspected of representing a senior synonym of T. jandai sp. nov. and that Tapinoma indicum Forel, 1895 should be transferred to the genus Ravavy Fisher, 2009. Based on examples in Formica, Camponotus, Cardiocondyla and the two cases reported here, it is argued that ant classification by simple color patterns is under increased risk of misclassification. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Ant taxonomy color dimorphism ghost ant numeric morphology-based alpha-taxonomy Treachery pigmentation pattern leads to misidentification: Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius), Tapinoma pygmaeum (Dufour) and Tapinoma jandai sp. nov.

Ozymandipteryx campana gen. et sp. nov. is remarkable for its absent or very reduced metatarsus. In modern species of Tridactyloidea, a reduced metatarsus can only be found in the Tridactylidae Brullé, 1835 genera Ellipes Scudder, 1902 and Xya Latreille, 1809, but not in Ripipterygidae. Magnidactylus robustus Xu et al., 2020, type species of the genus, is found to share the character of a fully reduced metatarsus (apical spurs were previously misinterpreted as metatarsus), but M. robustus differs from O. campana in several important characters and hence remains a separate genus. However, a new genus Yakkhapipteryx is erected to include the other two former Magnidactylus species M. mirus Gu et al., 2022 (Yakkhapipteryx mirus comb. nov.) and M. gracilis Gu et al., 2022 (Yakkhapipteryx gracilis comb. nov.), which both have a metatarsus in normal condition. Another newly described taxon is Ciconipteryx bidactylus gen. et sp. nov. This species is the first fossil Ripipterygidae with only two dactyls on its protibia, a feature it shares with the modern species Mirhipipteryx pulicaria (Saussure, 1896). Ciconipteryx bidactylus stands out due to its long mid- and hindlegs in relation to its body size. This character may have enabled it to perform very efficient jumps. The new species add to the diversity of Ripipterygidae from Kachin amber, expanding our knowledge of this little studied family and raising new possibilities for interpreting their evolutionary history. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Caelifera fossil jumping behavior mud crickets pygmy mole crickets taxonomy New genera and species of Ripipterygidae (Orthoptera, Tridactyloidea) from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber Research Article

For pinned specimens, few alternatives are available to keep dissected parts along with their source specimens, with pinnable microvials commonly used. However, world suppliers for these special microvials are scarce and their cost may reasonably impact the budget of less wealthy institutions. To provide a low-cost alternative, we designed a reliable entomological dissection microvial, based on materials easily found in most local office and laboratory equipment suppliers. Our microvials are based on two main items, Polypropylene (PP) microcentrifuge tubes and Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) hot-melt glue. Their manufacturing process is very simple and is described and illustrated in detail. The proposed microvials tend to have good ability for archiving, since the materials used for their main parts (PP and EVA) show good chemical adhesion and PP microcentrifuge tubes can safely contain most common preserving solutions for an indefinite time. Their endurance was tested under normal use conditions in our collection for the past five years and materials showed no degradation. Moreover, all components are classified as non-toxic and are safe for manipulation, storage and disposal by any educational or research facility. Finally, they fit into the category of sustainable solutions once they are long-lasting, reusable and can be manufactured from used microvials that would be discharged. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Alternative methods entomological collections genitalia vials microtubes preserving storage A step-by-step guide for manufacturing a reliable and low-cost entomological dissection microvial for pinned specimens Methods

Crete along with its satellite islets is a Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot that hosts a unique faunistic assemblage. In this work, we present the first part of our findings regarding the ground beetles of Crete after almost 40 years of continuous research. We report 24 species new to the Cretan biodiversity, while also comment on the distributions of rare or problematic species. Spatial and ecological data are provided for all the 29 species discussed. Most of the species recorded for the first time in Crete are linked to wetlands and, more specifically, coastal saline habitats. Therefore, issues concerning their conservation have risen, due to the pressure of the economic development of the Cretan coastline. The genera Anaulacus W.S. Macleay, 1825 and Paranchus Lindroth, 1974, as well as the species Anaulacus ruficornis (Chaudoir, 1850) and Paranchus albipes (Fabricius, 1796), are noted in this study as new taxa for the Greek fauna. Genus Anaulacus is also new for the fauna of the Balkan Peninsula. Sirdenus grayii (Wollaston, 1862) is cited with its first specified record from Greece. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Aegean Chrysi islet coastal wetlands Mediterranean Forty years of ground-beetle sampling in Crete.

The Arabuko Sokoke Forest (ASF), the largest remaining coastal forest fragment in Kenya and East Africa, is rich in biodiversity and endemic species. Given its varied forest types, ASF provides a unique opportunity to examine how these differences affect butterfly community structure. This study aims to investigate how vegetation diversity and structure influence butterfly community structures and species richness within ASF. We conducted butterfly and woody plant surveys during the dry season across four distinct forest types in ASF: Cynometra forest, Brachystegia woodland, mixed forest and the forest edge. Butterfly populations were sampled using transects measuring 10 m × 100 m and woody plant species were surveyed along overlapping transects. A total of 6,050 butterfly individuals were recorded, representing 86 species across 38 genera and five families. The woody vegetation comprised 178 species, belonging to 78 genera and 34 families. Significant differences in butterfly species abundance were observed across the forest types, though no significant differences were found in species richness. Beta diversity analyses revealed consistently high community dissimilarity across all forest types, driven predominantly by balanced variation in species abundances rather than nestedness. Brachystegia forest exhibited the highest total beta diversity, while forest edge exhibited the lowest. This indicates that species turnover, rather than richness differences, is the primary mechanism structuring butterfly communities at the landscape scale in Arabuko Sokoke Forest. Butterfly species diversity showed a strong correlation with plant species diversity. Additionally, butterfly wingspan size varied significantly amongst forest types. Our findings underscore the crucial role of natural plant forest diversity in supporting butterfly diversity and highlight the synergistic functions of the mixed forest and Brachystegia forest as key habitats. There is need for conservation strategies that account for multiple dimensions of biodiversity. While mixed forest serves as a reservoir of high species richness and abundance, Brachystegia forest offers critical value through their contribution to beta diversity at the landscape level. These results highlight the fundamental importance of conservation efforts directed to protect high plant diversity and structural heterogeneity to provide a broad spectrum of ecological niches and habitat connectivity for butterflies. Such strategies will enhance butterfly diversity and contribute to effective conservation in fragmented forests and especially in Arabuko Sokoke Forest. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Arabuko Sokoke Forest butterfly diversity community structure forest edge habitat connectivity habitat quality plant species species co-occurrence tropical forests Vegetation determines butterfly diversity and composition across the Arabuko-Sokoke coastal forest in Kenya, a tropical biodiversity hotspot Research Article

Er ist ein tief in das Xylem eindringender Ambrosiakäfer, der sich primär von seinen mutualistischen Nahrungspilzen ernährt. Nach Jahrzehnten, in denen der Eichenkernkäfer in Deutschland kaum beachtet wurde, wird sein Vorkommen seit einigen Jahren wieder vermehrt beobachtet, vor allem an frisch gefällten oder lagernden Eichenstämmen während seiner Flugzeit von Mitte Juni bis September. Dies kann zu einer erheblichen technischen Entwertung des betroffenen Eichenholzes führen. Durch den Klimawandel, insbesondere infolge der zunehmenden Schwächung von Eichenbeständen durch Hitze- und Trockenstress sowie andere Schadinsekten gewinnt er wieder an forstwirtschaftlicher Bedeutung. Deshalb fasst dieses Review den aktuellen Kenntnisstand zur Taxonomie, Biologie, Lebensweise, Symbiose und forstlichen Bedeutung von P. cylindrus zusammen, beleuchtet historische Gradationen und analysiert, wie Klimawandel und weitere Schadinsekten dessen Rolle als potenzieller Schadorganismus verstärken. Basierend auf einer umfassenden Literaturrecherche und der Analyse historischer Quellen wurde der Kenntnisstand systematisch aufbereitet. Ergänzend wurden eigene hochauflösende Bildaufnahmen zur detaillierten morphologischen Darstellung von P. cylindrus erstellt sowie die Geschichte und Lebensweise der Ambrosiakäfer aufgearbeitet. Neben der Biologie und Symbiose wurden historische Gradationen dokumentiert, die bereits im 20. Jahrhundert zu massiven technischen Entwertungen von Eichenstämmen führten. Solche Schäden stellen bis heute eine große Herausforderung für Forstwirtschaft und Sägewerksindustrie dar, da befallenes Holz seine Nutzbarkeit verliert. Der Klimawandel verändert Flugzeiten und schwächt Wirtsbäume, wodurch P. cylindrus verstärkt Chancen zur Besiedlung vorgeschädigter oder absterbender Eichen erhält. Platypus cylindrus kann mehrere Laubbaumarten besiedeln, auch wenn er eine klare Präferenz für die Gattung Quercus hat. P. cylindrus stellt aufgrund seiner engen Pilzsymbiosen und seines sich möglicherweise erweiternden Wirtsspektrums ein wertvolles Modellsystem für Insekt-Pilz-Wechselwirkungen dar, gleichzeitig aber auch ein potenzielles Risiko für die Forstwirtschaft. Eine integrierte Betrachtung seiner Biologie, seiner Rolle als Indikator für klimabedingte Stressphasen in Wäldern sowie seiner wirtschaftlichen Bedeutung ist erforderlich, um fundierte Strategien zum Schutz und Erhalt von Eichenwäldern zu entwickeln. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Ambrosiakäfer Ambrosiapilze Colydium elongatum Eiche Eichenschädling Eichenkernkäfer Eichensterben Fabricius Forstschutz Freiburg Holzlagerung Josef Schmidberger Klimawandel Mutualismus Platypodinae Platypus cylindrus Spätschwärmer Technische Holzentwertung Waldmanagement Waldschutz ambrosia beetle ambrosia fungi Colydium elongatum climate change Fabricius Freiburg forest management forest protection Josef Schmidberger late flyer mutualism oak oak decline oak pest oak pinhole borer Platypodinae Platypus cylindrus technical wood devaluation timber storage Zur Biologie, Historie und forstwirtschaftlichen Rolle des Ambrosiakäfers Platypus cylindrus (Fabricius, 1792), bekannt als Eichenkernkäfer (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Platypodinae) Review Article

Despite the small size of the genus, several uncertainties persist within the subgenus Pachymelus (Pachymelopsis) Cockerell, 1905, which contains five species and is restricted to sub-Saharan Africa. Based on a revision of museum material and inspection of contemporary collections, a number of changes are implemented. Pachymelus bettoni (Cockerell, 1910), described in the male sex, was incorrectly considered to be a distinct species; it is actually the male of Pachymelus (Pachymelopsis) conspicuus Smith, 1879, syn. nov., and is returned to synonymy with it. Pachymelus (Pachymelopsis) armatipes (Friese, 1911), stat. rev. is returned to species status, having been incorrectly considered conspecific with P. conspicuus. Pachymelus (Pachymelopsis) haladai sp. nov. is described from Ethiopia. A lectotype is designated for Habropoda capensis Cameron, 1905 (= Pachymelus festivus (Dours, 1869)) from material that was previously considered lost; the species is newly reported from East Africa (Kenya), and the status of Afromelecta lieftincki Eardley, 1991 is discussed. The type locality of Pachymelus (Pachymelopsis) abessinicus (Friese, 1912) is clarified, moving from Uganda to Kenya, which is shown to host five of the now six members of this subgenus. These revisions further illustrate the need for greater survey effort and taxonomic revision of bees in dry parts of Eastern Africa. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Anthophorinae Eastern Africa lectotype sex association solitary bees synonymy A taxonomic update to Pachymelus (Pachymelopsis) Cockerell, with a new species from Ethiopia (Hymenoptera, Apidae) Research Article

In this paper, we describe a new species, L. verhaaghi sp. nov., from Peru and provide a digital 3D model of its holotype. The new species resembles L. alticristatus but has rounded lateral lobes and fewer projections on the anterior margin of the pronotal crest. The distribution patterns of Lophotettiginae across multiple zones of endemism in the Amazonian region are discussed. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Amazonian region Lophotettiginae Neotropics pygmy hoppers taxonomy Lophotettix verhaaghi (Orthoptera, Tetrigidae), a new species of pygmy grasshoppers from Peru with a 3D scan of the holotype Research Article

Cratomastax mariellaae gen. et sp. nov. is reported from a relatively well-preserved specimen, with the wings, head, and metathoracic leg aspects in good condition. It is assigned to the Eumastacoidea based on its forewing venation feature, with M and CuA + CuPaα fused. Due to the presence of two branches of M + CuA, it may be allied to Chorotypidae, but the forewing venation of other families of Eumastacoidea is not sufficiently known to confidently exclude it from these taxa. Additionally, a second species of Aestuacrida is described from the Crato Formation. Aestuacrida mikronaulion sp. nov. is significantly larger than A. stereofemoris Schall, Lima, Heads, Pinheiro, Kotthoff & Husemann, 2025, and its wing venation is more fully preserved. The new species suggests that Aestuacrida belongs to the subfamily Pseudoacridinae, increasing the diversity of this recently established taxon. Lastly, a new specimen of Locustrix gallegoi Martins-Neto, 2003, is reported. Individuals of this genus appear to be rather rare, and the apomorphies of Locustrix Martins-Neto, 2003, were not well understood. The new specimen helps resolve this issue. Locustrix can now be assigned to the subfamily Locustopsinae. The genus is characterized by having two branches of M and CuA + CuPaα and a short ScP of only about 50% of the total forewing length. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Fossil grasshopper monkey hopper taxonomy First Eumastacoidea and new Locustopsidae (Orthoptera: Caelifera) from the Crato Formation of Brazil Research Article

A lectotype is designated for Cerambyx quadrimaculatus Linnaeus, 1767, and its true identity is discussed and established. The type species of Dissacanthus (currently considered a synonym of Eburia) and the synonymy between Cerambyx quadrimaculatus Fabricius, 1775, and Cerambyx quadrimaculatus Linnaeus, 1767, are discussed. Coeleburia Thomson, 1861, and Drymo Thomson, 1864, are revalidated. Almost all species currently allocated to Eburia are transferred to Coeleburia. Solangella Martins, 1997, is synonymized with Coeleburia, and Pantomallus meridanus Bates, 1872, returns to the original combination; the impossibility of locating the holotype of P. meridanus is discussed. The following specific synonymies are proposed: Eburia binodosa Gahan, 1895, is considered a junior synonym of E. thoracica (White, 1853); Eburia bauri Linell, 1899, is synonymized with Pantomallus proletarius (Erichson, 1847); Eburia porulosa var. porifera Bates, 1892, is synonymized with Eburia porulosa Bates, 1892; Eburia sexnotata Boheman, 1859, is transferred to Beraba Martins, 1997, and Beraba moema Martins, 1997, is considered its junior synonym. Cerambyx ramphygeus Linnaeus, 1767, is revalidated, and the origin of the description is revealed for the first time. The problematic allocation of Eburia pedestris White, 1853, is discussed, and notes on Eburia tetrastalacta White, 1853, are provided. Coeleburia rufobrunnea Perroud, 1855, is redescribed based on a male; the status of its type material is corrected, and one of the syntypes is illustrated for the first time. The correct illustration of Coeleburia pilosa (Erichson, 1834) in the original description is reinforced. The identity of Eburia sexnotata sensu Martins (1997) is corrected. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Longhorned beetles Neotropical region synonymy taxonomy Beyond assumptions: taxonomic and nomenclatural notes on Eburiini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Cerambycinae) Research Article

Using age–stage, two-sex life table analysis with 15 replicates per temperature, we assessed stage-specific developmental rates, longevity, fecundity, fertility, and population growth metrics. Developmental time decreased significantly with increasing temperature, with total nymphal duration ranging from 18.05 days at 20°C to 9.62 days at 30°C. Optimal reproductive performance occurred at 25°C, where net reproductive rate (R0 = 49.4 female offspring/female), intrinsic rate of increase (r = 0.131 day−1), and egg hatch (86.4%) peaked. Higher temperatures (30°C) reduced fertility (74.9% hatch), fecundity (79.1 eggs/female), and female-biased sex ratios (0.41 vs. 0.51–0.52 at lower temperatures). Critically, while r peaked at 30°C (0.145 day−1), the 48% reduction in R0 indicates that rapid generation turnover cannot compensate for reproductive failure under sustained heat stress.

For this, the number of larval moults and the size increments per moult were comparatively analyzed for the first time in a large number of phylogenetically closely related species, in this case within a single genus. Growth increments and trajectories were determined by measuring head capsule widths of each instar and the subsequent calculation of Dyar’s constant as well as by mathematical modeling, applying exponential, logarithmic and second order polynomial functions. Calculated parameters of the exponential and log functions were well suited for inter-species comparison. The frequency distributions of the growth increment parameters derived from 34 data sets are discontinuous, exhibiting four clear cut groups which can be attributed to the number of larval instars. Accordingly, variability of growth increments, expressed as Dyar’s constant, and of parameters derived from mathematical functions can be explained by the different number of moults. Developmental polymorphism has been shown for some species. In these cases, the different number of required instars, 4 or 5 of the same species, is associated to an altered growth increment, ultimately leading, however, to the same size in the last instar. The number of moults in an Erebia species is related to its life history, namely, to the number of hibernations in the larval stage. There is no association between instar numbers and phylogenetically defined species clusters. text/html en_US Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung Developmental polymorphism Dyar’s rule growth function head capsule width instar number larval instars ontogeny Satyrinae Larval growth strategies in the genus Erebia Dalman, 1816 as analyzed by the size increment of the head capsule: different strategies – same goal (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) Research Article
