Acantholyda nemeri sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Pamphiliidae) is described from adults of both sexes from Lebanon. Its host plant is probably Cedrus libani, the cedar of Lebanon (Pinaceae). The new species shows a combination of adult characters that makes placing it in one of the two widely-recognised subgenera of Acantholyda problematic. Acantholyda ne...
Forest decline and dieback are growing phenomena worldwide, resulting in severe, large‐scale degradation of the canopy. This can profoundly alter the provision of trophic resources and microhabitats for canopy‐dwelling arthropods.
In 2019, we assessed the effect of oak decline on the community of canopy‐dwelling Hymenoptera. We selected 21 oak stan...

Loin des clichés touristiques du Maroc, loin du sable, des dunes et de la chaleur du Sud il existe d’un point de vue climatique, la zone la plus humide de toute l’Afrique du Nord qui renferme deux peuplements reliques d’une forêt originale et climacique : la sapinière à Abies pinsapo var. marocana, essence forestière endémique du Rif. Dans le cadre...
Rhizophagus (R.) brancsiki Reitter, 1905 is recorded from 15 new localities of Western Pyrenees, Massif Central and for the first time in the French Alps (Isère). These new data are detailed and commented. The life history of the species is clarified. A photo of one specimen from Ardèche and an updated distribution map of this species in France are...
Saproxylic beetles are important bioindicators of forest health but their enormous diversity makes their identification challenging. As an example, the French fauna of saproxylic beetles alone contains 2,663 species in 72 families. Recently, DNA barcoding was proposed as a promising tool for the identification and monitoring of saproxylic beetle sp...
La Directive Habitats-Faune-Flore (DHFF) prévoit un suivi dans le temps de l’état de conservation des espèces d’intérêt communautaire. En France, cette surveillance reste peu développée pour les invertébrés. Des protocoles nationaux sont proposés pour sept espèces de coléoptères saproxyliques rares ou à caractère « parapluie » : Stephanopachys line...

Fourth annual additions and corrections to the large book Catalogue des Coléoptères de France (2014).
The authors present a provisional catalogue of Coleoptera Zopheridae of the district of Gironde (SW France), only including recent data (1980-present) from their collections. There are actually 11 species in this district, of which 10 very recently recorded and another one needing updated data.
Ochina leveillei Sainte-Claire Deville, 1910 was not recorded since about 50 years. The
species was only known by two male specimens from Corsica and Morocco. Very recent records of numerous specimens, including females, in Corsica, allowed us to speak about its atypical geographical distribution, life history and new potential findings in the futu...
Bitoma siccana (Pascoe, 1863) is recorded for the first time in France, in the La Rochelle harbour, district of Charente-Maritime. It is actually considered as introduced in this country. It seems to be only the third record in Europe, including previous Italian citations from Venice harbour and South of Sardinia. A photo of the French specimen and...

The Xylosandrus genus (Coleoptera Curculionidae Scolytinae) includes 27 species, mainly from
Asia. Three of these species, i.e. X. morigerus, X. germanus and X. crassiusculus have been introduced
into France in the last several decades. A fourth species, X. compactus, has been recently discovered in
Italy. Xylosandrus ambrosia beetles are able to c...
Saproxylic beetles – associated with dead wood or with other insects, fungi and microorganisms that decompose it – play a major role in forest nutrient cycling. They are important ecosystem service providers and are used as key bio-indicators of old-growth forests. In France alone, where the present study took place, there are about 2500 species di...

Vincennes pour la Direction des Espaces Verts et de l'Environnement de la Ville de Paris.
L’étude est réalisée avec 8 pièges à interception Polytrap (4 dans chaque bois), du début de printemps au
début de l’été, durant quatre années consécutives...
The decline of many saproxylic species results from the decrease in old-growth structures in European harvested forests. Among conservation tools, protected reserves withdrawn from regular harvesting and extended rotations have been employed to restore old-growth attributes in structurally simplified managed forests, even if the effects of such man...
Un inventaire des Coléoptères ripisylvatiques et ripicoles est réalisé dans le PNR du Queyras (Hautes-Alpes – 05) le long du Guil et de ses affluents. Les objectifs étaient premièrement de réaliser pour ces cortèges un inventaire et une cartographie des espèces d'intérêt patrimonial et, deuxièmement, de réaliser une analyse écologique à partir de c...
Description Diacanthous undulatus (DeGeer, 774) est une espèce d'identification aisée et rapide, malgré la variabilité de la forme et du nombre de fascies élytrales. Les femelles qui font l'objet de la majorité des captures, possèdent des élytres à fascies rosées sur fond brun (Figure 1). Répartition en France Cette espèce boréo-alpine est très lo...
Dès 1988, le Conseil de l'Europe encourageait les gouvernements européens à utiliser prioritairement les organismes associés au bois mort, dits saproxyliques, pour évaluer l'état de conservation des forêts (Recommandations R(88)10 et 11 sur la protection des organismes saproxyliques et de leurs biotopes). Toutefois, presque 20 ans après, peu d'outi...
Saproxylic beetles are species-rich, mostly small and cryptic, and difficult to sample. Different methods are traditionally used to collect saproxylic beetles. These are (i) direct active collection techniques, (ii) rearing techniques and (iii) mass trapping methods. Window-flight trapping is currently the most frequently used technique for catchin...
In most temperate deciduous forests, windstorm is the main source of dead wood. However, the effects of this natural disturbance on ambrosia and bark beetle communities are poorly known. In managed oak-hornbeam forests storm-damaged in France in 1999, we sampled ambrosia (and second bark beetles) by ethanol-baited window-flight traps in 2001. By co...
Habitat specialist species are supposed to be more susceptible to variations in local environmental characteristics than generalists. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a comparative analysis on abundance and genetic diversity of forest carabids differing in their habitat requirements. Four species were sampled in forests characterized by abioti...
