Confirmación de la emergencia de Sympetrum sinaiticum Dumont, 1977 (Odonata: Libellulidae) y entomof...

August 2016 · Arquivos Entomolóxicos

Confirmation of the emergence of Sympetrum sinaiticum Dumont, 1977 (Odonata: Libellulidae) and thermophilic associated entomofauna in the province of Cordova (Spain). New records of Orthetrum nitidinerve (Sélys, 1841) (Odonata: Libellulidae) in Cordova are reported. New records of this rare species are of faunistic interest, especially because of the scarcity of recent records. This research ... [Show full abstract] provides a third population in a very anthropic habitat. The rising of the maximum temperatures in spring has also coincided with the emergence of Sympetrum sinaiticum Dumont, 1977 (Odonata: Libellulidae), another rare species occurring in Andalusia. The first records of Cephalota maura (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Carabidae) for the province of Cordova are presented, especies also associated to banks of minor water masses with halophytic macrophytes present in the Sevillian-Cordovan countryside.

The morphology and evolution of the adult head of Adephaga (Insecta: Coleoptera) 1

June 2010 · Arthropod Systematics and Phylogeny

Rolf Beutel

The adult heads of representatives of different adephagan families - aquatic, semiaquatic and terrestrial were examined and compared. External and internal structures were described and documented in detail for the genera Trachypachus (Trachypachidae). Haliplus (Haliplidae), Amphizoa (Amphizoidae) and the recently discovered Aspidytes (Aspidytidae). A list of characters of potential phylogenetic ... [Show full abstract] relevance was compiled and the data matrix combined with the large data set of thoracic and abdominal features for different life stages. The cladistic analysis of this comprehensive data matrix of 138 characters for 16 taxa covering all adephagan families led to one most parsimonous tree. The monophyly of the Geadephaga (Trachypachidae + Carabidae) is strongly supported. The Gyrinidae are the sistergroup of all remaining adephagan beetles. The Meruidae are sister to the Dytiscoidea and both together form the sistergroup of the Haliplidae. The sistergroup relationship of Aspidytidae and Amphizoidae is confirmed. The placement of Meruidae is impeded by the lack of larval characters. It may change when in on structural features of immature stages becomes available. The Trachypachidae, a small relict family with its greatest diversity and distribution in the early Mesozoic, probably come close to the last common ancestor of the Adephaga in the structural features of the adult head. They share structural similarities with the aquatic Dytiscoidea and the terrestrial Carabidae. It is hypothesized that the common ancestor of Adephaga had a relatively unspecialised head morphology and was a predator, possibly with a preference for a riparian habitat. Adaptations for an aquatic environment evolved at least two times and possibly even three times independently. Within these lineages a great diversity of different life styles developed such as the highly specialised surface gliding Gyrinidae. the hygropetric Aspidytidae, the strongly miniaturised Meruidae or the algophagous Haliplidae.
