Abstract
The South American genus Anomiopsoides Blackwelder is revised and now includes five species: A. aurita (Burmeister), A. biloba (Burmeister), A. catamarcae Martínez, A. cavifrons (Burmeister), and A. heteroclyta (Blanchard). The following species names are new synonyms of A. heteroclyta (Blanchard): A. aberrans Martínez, A. pereirai (Martínez), and A. xerophila Martínez. The following variety is a new synonym of A. biloba (Burmeister): A. biloba var. schaeferi (Martínez). Descriptions, diagnosis illustrations, and distribution maps are provided for all species. A key to species of the genus is provided. The biology and the food relocation behavior of Anomiopsoides species are described. A …
Case 3314: Stegopterus Burmeister & Schaum, 1840 And Trichiotinus Casey, 1915 (Insecta, Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae): Proposed Conservation, Andrew Smith
University of Nebraska State Museum: Entomology Papers
The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to conserve the names of two well-established genera of cetoniine scarab beetles, Stegopterus Burmeister & Schaum, 1840 and Trichiotinus Casey, 1915. Stegopterus Burmeister & Schaum is a junior synonym of Tetrophthalmus Kirby, 1827 and Trichiotinus Casey a junior synonym of Trichinus Kirby, 1827. The two junior names are in prevailing use and it is proposed that they be conserved by suppression of both Kirby's names.
The New World Species Of Ataenius Harold, 1867. V. Revision Of The A. Strigatus Group (Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae: Eupariini), Zdzislawa Stebnicka, Paul K. Lago
The New World Species Of Ataenius Harold, 1867. V. Revision Of The A. Strigatus Group (Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae: Eupariini), Zdzislawa Stebnicka, Paul K. Lago
Insecta Mundi
The strigatus group of the New World species of Ataenius Harold is revised. Seventeen species are recognized including two species described as new: Ataenius ecruensis sp. nov. from the United States and A. oaxacaensis sp. nov. from Mexico. Fifteen previously used names are considered valid, three new synonyms are proposed: A. liogaster Bates (=A. edwardsi Chapin syn. nov. = A. hoguei Cartwright and Spangler syn. nov.), A. wenzelii Horn (=A. rudellus Fall, syn. nov.). New state records are presented for A. spretulus (Haldeman) (Washington) and A. cognatus (LeConte) (Indiana, Missouri, and Mississippi). The taxa are diagnosed, keyed and …
Revision Of Pocadius Erichson (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae), Andrew R. Cline
Revision Of Pocadius Erichson (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae), Andrew R. Cline
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
A revision of Pocadius Erichson (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) was completed. A total of 46 species were (re)described, including 25 new species, a key to species constructed, and phylogenetic analysis performed. Taxonomic changes, including nomenclatural emendations, reinstatement of species, and description of new taxa, within this dissertation do not constitute formal changes as defined by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Illustrations of the genitalia, key characters, and dorsal habitus of species are provided. The phylogeny demonstrates a monophyletic Pocadius. The phylogeny suggests a Palearctic origin of the genus with subsequent speciation into the Old World tropics and New World. Host specialization …
