Classification, Natural History, And Evolution Of The Epiphloeinae (Coleoptera: Cleridae). Part Iii. The Genera Parvochaetus, N. Gen., Amboakis, N. Gen., And Ellipotoma Spinola, Weston Opitz
Insecta Mundi
Abstract:
The checkered beetle genera Parvochaetus, n. gen. and Amboakis, n. gen. are described and the genus Ellipotoma Spinola is reviewed. Four new species plus P. linearis (Gorham), which represents a new combination, comprise Parvochaetus: P. albicornis, P. froeschneri, P. fucolatus, and P. sandaracus. Amboakis, a replacement name for the junior homonym Teutonia Opitz, involves four previously described species and 20 new species. The new species are A. anapsis, A. atra, A. barinas, A. binotonis, A. cauca, A.charis, A. epiomidia, A. erythrohapsis, A. funebris, A. incondita, A.katatonis, A. linitis, A.mica, A. micula, A. prolata, A. rudis, A. taruma, …

Generic Changes In United States Issini (Hemiptera, Fulgoroidea, Issidae), Vladimir M. Gnezdilov, Lois B. O'Brien
Insecta Mundi
Three new genera of the family Issidae are described for species formerly included in the genus Hysteropterum sensulato: Balduza Gnezdilov and O’Brien, gen. n. (type species: Hysteropterum unum Ball 1910), Stilbometopius Gnezdilov and O’Brien, gen. n. (type species: Issus auroreus Uhler 1876), Abolloptera Gnezdilov and O’Brien, gen. n. (type species: Hysteropterum bistriatum Caldwell 1945),. The genus Tylanira Ball 1936 is redescribed. The male genitalia of Tylanira bifurca Ball 1936 is described and illustrated. Tylana ustulata Uhler 1876 is transfered to Tylanira.Hysteropterum bufo Van Duzee 1923 is transfered to Balduza gen. n. and the male genitalia of the species is …
The Beetle Fauna Of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity And Distribution, Stewart B. Peck
The Beetle Fauna Of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity And Distribution, Stewart B. Peck
Insecta Mundi
The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of …
Discolomopsis Dominicana, A New Genus And Species Of Endomychidae (Coleoptera) From Dominican Amber, Floyd W. Shockley
Discolomopsis Dominicana, A New Genus And Species Of Endomychidae (Coleoptera) From Dominican Amber, Floyd W. Shockley
Insecta Mundi
Discolomopsis, a new genus of Endomychidae (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea), is described and illustrated based on a fossil endomychid embedded in amber resin from the Dominican Republic. Discolomopsis dominicana sp. nov. is designated as the type species for the genus.
The Asian Mango Flower Beetle, Protaetia Fusca (Herbst), And Euphoria Sepulcralis (Fabricius) In Florida And The West Indies (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae), Robert E. Woodruff
The Asian Mango Flower Beetle, Protaetia Fusca (Herbst), And Euphoria Sepulcralis (Fabricius) In Florida And The West Indies (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae), Robert E. Woodruff
Insecta Mundi
The mango flower beetle, Protaetia fusca (Herbst), an Asiatic pest of several commercial crops, was first found in Florida in 1985. All subsequent Florida specimens are recorded here, as well as the first documented records from the Bahamas and Barbados. Illustrations are provided and comparisons are made to the similar native Euphoria sepulcralis (Fabricius), which is also recorded for the first time from the Bahamas. Extensive host records and a bibliography (especially tracking P. fusca spread in Hawaii) are included.

Six new species of Aphodius Illiger (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) are described from the central United States. They are: Aphodius ashworthi, Aphodius barri, Aphodius gardneri, Aphodius salsburyi, Aphodius sayi, Aphodius ulkei.
Distribution And Biology Of The Ectoparasitic Beaver Beetle Platypsyllus Castoris Ritsema In North America (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Platypsyllinae), Stewart B. Peck
Distribution And Biology Of The Ectoparasitic Beaver Beetle Platypsyllus Castoris Ritsema In North America (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Platypsyllinae), Stewart B. Peck
Insecta Mundi
The distribution and biology of the beaver beetle, Platypsyllus castoris Ritsema, are summarized for North America. In light of the fact that the beetle uses two beaver species as hosts which have seemingly been separated for some five million years on two continents, it is asked if the Nearctic and Palearctic beetle populations are really the same species.
An Annotated Checklist Of Wisconsin Sap And Short-Winged Flower Beetles (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae, Kateretidae), Michele B. Price, Daniel K. Young
An Annotated Checklist Of Wisconsin Sap And Short-Winged Flower Beetles (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae, Kateretidae), Michele B. Price, Daniel K. Young
Insecta Mundi
A survey of Wisconsin Nitidulidae and Kateretidae yielded 78 species through analysis of literature records, museum and private collections, and three years of field research (2000-2002). Twenty-seven species (35% of the Wisconsin fauna) represent new state records, having never been previously recorded from the state. Wisconsin distribution, along with relevant collecting techniques and natural history information, are summarized. The Wisconsin nitidulid and kateretid faunae are compared to reconstructed and updated faunal lists for Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and south-central Canada. Literature and distributional records suggest at least 11 additional nitidulid species may occur in Wisconsin.
