Abstract
Abstract. Scaphinotus longiceps Van Dyke, 1924 (Coleoptera: Carabidae) has formerly been recorded from only three sites (two of which are based on specimens collected in 1901 and the 1930s) in northwestern California. The limited known range, apparent restriction to old growth forests, and few specimens have caused this species to be regarded as potentially threatened or endangered. Ten additional sites have since been found, significantly increasing the known range and potential ecological amplitude of this poorly understood species. Habitus and other images are presented to aid in distinguishing this species from several related species found in the region.
摘要加州西北部的长尾甲虫(Scaphinotus longiceps Van Dyke, 1924)(鞘翅目:甲虫科)以前仅在三个地点(其中两个是基于1901年和20世纪30年代收集的标本)被记录下来。已知的范围有限,明显局限于古老的森林,以及很少的标本使该物种被认为是潜在的威胁或濒危物种。此后又发现了10个新的地点,大大增加了这种鲜为人知的物种的已知范围和潜在的生态幅度。生境和其他图像有助于将该物种与该地区发现的几个相关物种区分开来。
期刊介绍:
The Pan-Pacific Entomologist (ISSN 0031-0603) is published quarterly (January, April, July and October) by the Pacific Coast Entomological Society, in cooperation with the California Academy of Sciences. The journal serves as a refereed publication outlet and accepts manuscripts on all aspects of the biosystematics of insects and closely related arthropods, especially articles dealing with their taxonomy, biology, behavior, ecology, life history, biogeography and distribution. Membership in the Pacific Coast Entomological Society includes subscription to The Pan-Pacific Entomologist, and Society Proceedings typically appear in the October issue of each volume.
