A Hypogean New Species Of Trechus Clairville, 1806 (Coleoptera, Carabidae) From Portugal And Considerations About The T. Fulvus Species Group, Ana Reboleira, Vicente Ortuño, Fernando Gonçalves, Pedro Oromí
A Hypogean New Species Of Trechus Clairville, 1806 (Coleoptera, Carabidae) From Portugal And Considerations About The T. Fulvus Species Group, Ana Reboleira, Vicente Ortuño, Fernando Gonçalves, Pedro Oromí
Ana Sofia P.S. Reboleira
A new hypogean ground beetle species, Trechus tatai n. sp. from the Montejunto karstic massif in Portugal is described. Morphological diagnostic characters of the imago are provided and the new species is included in the Trechus fulvus-group. Comments on the biogeography of hypogean carabid beetles in karstic areas of Portugal and an illustrated key to the males of the T. fulvus-group in the Iberian Peninsula are also included.

Checklist Of The Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) Of Costa Rica, Ian P. Swift, Larry G. Bezark, Eugenio H. Nearns, Ángel Solís, Frank T. Hovore
Insecta Mundi
An updated checklist of the Cerambycidae of Costa Rica is presented. This new version includes 1,071 species and subspecies in 429 genera, 69 tribes, and six subfamilies. Of these, 181 are new country records and 136 species are known only from Costa Rica. In addition, provincial distribution data are provided for each species. The checklist supports a wealth of scientific literature in many other groups of flora and fauna indicating Costa Rica has high species richness of cerambycid beetles.

Description Of The Third Instar Larva Of A Hypogean Ground Beetle, Trechus Alicantinus (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Trechinae), Vicente Ortuño, Ana Reboleira
Description Of The Third Instar Larva Of A Hypogean Ground Beetle, Trechus Alicantinus (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Trechinae), Vicente Ortuño, Ana Reboleira
Ana Sofia P.S. Reboleira
Description and illustrations are provided for the third instar larva of Trechus alicantinus Español, 1971 obtained from a laboratory breeding. This paper aims to contribute to increase the general knowledge about microendemic hypogean species of the east of the Iberian Peninsula. Besides, it expands the existing knowledge about the preimaginal stages of the genus Trechus and the whole tribe Trechini (Coleoptera, Carabidae). Larvae can give additional information about the life style of the species. Larvae can also express, even more than the imagos, some apomorphic characters, traditionally considered a result of adaptation to the hypogean habitat, such as the regression …
The Effects Of Spruce Beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) On Fuels And Fire In Intermountain Spruce-Fir Forests, Carl Arik Jorgensen
The Effects Of Spruce Beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) On Fuels And Fire In Intermountain Spruce-Fir Forests, Carl Arik Jorgensen
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
In spruce-fir forests, there are many biotic and abiotic disturbances that can alter stand structure and composition. Many of these disturbances can produce high percentages of tree mortality at different scales. Spruce beetle has been considered a devastating disturbance agent, capable of creating high levels of mortality that will alter fuel complexes that may affect fire behavior. For comparison, stand data were gathered in endemic (near Loa and Moab, UT), epidemic (near Loa and Fairview, UT), and post-epidemic (near Salina and Loa, UT) condition classes of spruce beetle activity. Generally, fine fuels were higher during the epidemic and returned to …

A New Species And New Records Of Hydrophilidae (Coleoptera) From Turkey, Abdullah Mart, Ümi̇t İncekara, Hani̇fi̇ Karaca
Turkish Journal of Zoology
A new species belonging to the genus Helochares Mulsant, 1844 (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) is described on the basis of a single male specimen collected in Ordu province, Turkey. The species is described and an identification key to the species of the Helochares lividus group is provided. In addition, Helochares pallens MacLeay, 1825 and Hydrobius convexus Brullé, 1835 are recorded in Turkey for the first time.
Faunistic Study Of The Aquatic Beetles (Coleoptera: Helophoridae) In The Bayburt, Giresun, Gümüşhane, Ordu, And Trabzon Provinces Of Turkey, Abdullah Mart, Ümi̇t İncekara, Hani̇fi̇ Karaca
Faunistic Study Of The Aquatic Beetles (Coleoptera: Helophoridae) In The Bayburt, Giresun, Gümüşhane, Ordu, And Trabzon Provinces Of Turkey, Abdullah Mart, Ümi̇t İncekara, Hani̇fi̇ Karaca
Turkish Journal of Zoology
In this study, we established the presence of 25 aquatic beetle (Coleoptera: Helophoridae) species belonging to 5 subgenera from the Bayburt, Giresun, Gümüşhane, Ordu, and Trabzon provinces in the Black Sea region of Turkey. Specimens were collected between May 2007 and October 2007. Ten species are here recorded for the first time from the Black Sea region and 6 species are recorded for the first time in the research area. In addition, the habitats of these species found in the research area were given.

The Occurrence Of The Subgenus Microlaccobius Gentili In Turkey (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae, Laccobius), With Taxonomic Notes, Mustafa Cemal Darilmaz, Suat Kiyak
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Distributional data and the chorotype of all known taxa of Turkish species of the subgenus Microlaccobius Gentili, 1974 are summarized. The taxonomic position of Laccobius gracilis persicus Gentili, 1974 is discussed and L. persicus is elevated to the level of valid species and new record for the Turkish fauna. A short identification key of Turkish species of the subgenus is also given.
