Abstract

Abstract Spercheus stangli Schwarz and Barber, 1917 (Coleoptera: Spercheidae) is distributed in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Its Japanese population is known only in one pond on the Iriomote Island. To better understand the ecology of this family and develop conservation strategies for S. stangli, we conducted field surveys and rearing experiments. Our results suggest that S. stangli is bivoltine or multivoltine. We concluded that ponds with substrates, such as wood fragments floating on the water surface, are important habitats for the conservation of these beetles.

关于滤食性食水甲虫的生态学注释，Spercheus stangli-Swarz和Barber，1917（鞘翅目：食水甲虫科）

文章摘要：Spercheus stangli Schwarz和Barber，1917（鞘翅目：Spercheidae）分布于南亚和东南亚。它的日本人口只在北本岛的一个池塘里。为了更好地了解这个家族的生态，并制定斯坦格利的保护策略，我们进行了实地调查和饲养实验。我们的结果表明，斯坦格利是双电压或多电压的。我们得出的结论是，水面上漂浮着木材碎片等基质的池塘是保护这些甲虫的重要栖息地。

期刊介绍： Aquatic Insects is an international journal publishing original research on the systematics, biology, and ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic insects. The subject of the research is aquatic and semi-aquatic insects, comprising taxa of four primary orders, the Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera but also aquatic and semi-aquatic families of Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera, as well as specific representatives of Hymenoptera , Lepidoptera, Mecoptera, Megaloptera , and Neuroptera that occur in lotic and lentic habitats during part of their life cycle. Studies on other aquatic Hexapoda (i.e., Collembola) will be only accepted if space permits. Papers on other aquatic Arthropoda (e.g., Crustacea) will not be considered, except for those closely related to aquatic and semi-aquatic insects (e.g., water mites as insect parasites). The topic of the research may include a wide range of biological fields. Taxonomic revisions and descriptions of individual species will be accepted especially if additional information is included on habitat preferences, species co-existing, behavior, phenology, collecting methods, etc., that are of general interest to an international readership. Descriptions based on single specimens are discouraged. Detailed studies on morphology, physiology, behavior, and phenology of aquatic insects in all stadia of their life cycle are welcome as well as the papers with molecular and phylogenetic analyses, especially if they discuss evolutionary processes of the biological, ecological, and faunistic formation of the group.
