Abstract

Twelve tiger beetle taxa are reported from the Andaman and Nicobar Archipelagoes, Union Territories, India. These are listed according to their current classification within the Carabidae: Cicindelinae under tribes Collyrini or Cicindelini, along with comments about their taxonomy, recognition, habitats, and distribution. Cylindera (Ifasina) dartista, new species, known only from Great Nicobar Island, India, is described and compared to related taxa. Cylindera (Ifasina) discreta nicobarica (Mandl, 1970), also endemic to Great Nicobar Island, India, is distinguished from related species found elsewhere in Southeast Asia. In addition to these two endemic Cylindera (Ifasina) taxa, Neocollyris (Orthocollyris) crassicornis andamana (Bates, 1878) and Neocollyris (Neocollyris) schaumi (W. Horn, 1892) are considered endemic to the Andaman and Nicobar Archipelagoes. Except for these four endemic taxa, all but two of the remaining eight taxa comprising the tiger beetle fauna of these archipelagoes have a wider distribution in South Asia and Southeast Asia. These include six species: Neocollyris (Orthocollyris) subclavata (Chaudoir, 1860); Neocollyris (Leptocollyris) variicornis (Chaudoir, 1864); Calochroa flavomaculata (Hope, 1831); Calochroa sexpunctata (Fabricius, 1775); Callytron limosum (Saunders, 1836); Hypaetha biramosa (Fabricius, 1781). Two taxa have more limited ranges. Cosmodela diehli Wiesner, 1997, previously known only from Simular Island off the southwestern coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, is now documented from Great Nicobar Island, India. This species is very similar to Cosmodela didyma (Dejean, 1825) from Sumatra and Java, also reported from Little and Great Nicobar Islands. It is possible C. didyma records from the Nicobars are based on misidentified C. diehli. Examination of the Nicobar Archipelago specimens identified as C. didyma will be necessary to determine whether both species co-occur on the islands, or whether all the specimens are, in fact, C. diehli.

印度安达曼和尼科巴群岛虎甲虫(鞘翅目:甲虫科:虎甲虫科)，大尼科巴岛虎甲虫属(Ifasina)虎甲虫新种描述

据报道，在印度联邦领土安达曼和尼科巴群岛发现了12个虎甲虫分类群。这些是根据它们在Carabidae中的当前分类列出的:Cicindelinae在Collyrini或Cicindelini部落下，以及它们的分类，识别，栖息地和分布的评论。本文描述了仅产于印度大尼科巴岛的圆筒属(Ifasina) dartista新种，并与相关分类群进行了比较。圆筒(Ifasina) discreta nicobarica (Mandl, 1970)，也是印度大尼科巴岛特有的物种，与东南亚其他地方发现的相关物种不同。除了这两种特有的圆柱目(Ifasina)分类群外，Neocollyris (Orthocollyris) crassicornis andamana (Bates, 1878)和Neocollyris (Neocollyris) schaumi (W. Horn, 1892)被认为是安达曼和尼科巴群岛特有的。除了这四个特有的分类群外，其余组成这些群岛虎甲虫动物群的8个分类群中，除2个外，其余所有分类群在南亚和东南亚都有更广泛的分布。其中包括6种:Neocollyris (Orthocollyris) subclavata (Chaudoir, 1860);变种角蝇(Chaudoir, 1864);黄斑Calochroa flavomaculata (Hope, 1831);法布里修斯(fabicius, 1775);山德士，1836;法布里修斯，1781年)。两个分类群的活动范围更有限。1997年的Cosmodela diehli Wiesner，以前只在印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛西南海岸的Simular岛发现，现在在印度的大尼科巴岛发现。该种与苏门答腊和爪哇的Cosmodela didyma (Dejean, 1825)非常相似，也报道于小尼科巴群岛和大尼科巴群岛。Nicobars的C. didyma记录可能是基于错认的C. diehli。有必要对尼科巴群岛被鉴定为C. didyma的标本进行检查，以确定这两个物种是否在岛屿上共存，或者是否所有标本实际上都是C. diehli。

期刊介绍： Annals of Carnegie Museum is a quarterly journal that publishes peer-reviewed short and medium-length original scientific contributions in organismal biology, earth sciences, and anthropology, in 40 by 52.5 pica format (168 by 220 mm or 6-5/8 by 8-5/8 inches). Subject matter must be relevant to Carnegie Museum of Natural History scientific sections or Powdermill Nature Reserve (PNR), preferably with connection to the Carnegie collection and/or personnel. Carnegie Museum staff and research associates receive publication priority, but others are encouraged to submit papers, especially those manuscripts explicitly based on the Carnegie collection.
