On its own, the earlier online release of this paper was not available as a valid taxonomic work as the paper was not properly registered with the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) via Zoobank (www.zoobank.org) prior to publication. Such errors cannot be rectified by a corrigendum alone correcting the registration, and as a consequence the nomenclatorial acts contained in the work have no legitimacy until such time as the paginated issue or print edition is released. It cannot be stressed enough that authors wishing to have taxonomic papers released online before the print are entirely responsible for the correct registration of the paper prior to online publication and the citation of the Zoobank registration number of the paper in the online version. Authors of taxonomic works may always opt to have their work withheld from online release until it is printed, in which case registration with Zoobank is not required. This policy applies to works containing novel nomenclatural decisions, and is not expected to have any impact on the online publication of papers covering other entomological fields. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to ICZN commissioner Zhi-Qiang Zhang for his advice on this matter.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"39 1","pages":"63 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2016.1268752","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58900309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the absence of any firm evidence for their continued existence in this country, and without any satisfactory explanation for their original appearance, they were deleted from faunal lists about 60 years later. After consulting all relevant literature, we have dismissed the original suggestion that both the ticks Ha. leachii and Hy. aegyptium – originally taken from a museum specimen of the extinct huia, Heteralocha acutirostris – were introduced along with the Indian myna, Acridotheres tristis. Instead we find that there was a greater chance that their presence was the result of contamination, possibly through the collecting efforts and extensive travel of Walter L. Buller, a nineteenth-century naturalist and ornithologist. Further, although Hy. aegyptium was correctly identified, the other huia tick is actually Haemaphysalis (Rhipistoma) indica, not Ha. leachii sensu stricto. The taxonomic history of Ha. leachii (but not the other two species) has been convoluted and the spelling of the species epithet has frequently been contradictory. We briefly examine this history and clarify the correct spelling of that species name. We conclude that the supposed presence of I. ricinus was due to misidentification, possibly being confused with the cattle tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, or the kiwi tick, Ixodes anatis.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"39 1","pages":"79 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2016.1152872","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58899845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They occur in the alpine zone of the South Island and are known from only four sites. Invertebrates were sampled by pitfall trapping, netting and hand searching by day in two areas: the sand plains of the Lookout Range, Nelson, on 9–17 January 2008; and Mt Titiroa, Fiordland, on 3–10 February 2009. Sampling was of a preliminary, qualitative nature, due to inconsistencies in weather, year and season between the visits to the two locations, and no rigorous comparison is presented. The results of these surveys are summarised in an annotated species list (38 species), and a selection of these is illustrated. No insect species was found at both sites, and the only shared genera (Anabarhynchus [Diptera: Therevidae], Odontria [Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae], Lyperobius [Coleoptera: Curculionidae]) have diversified throughout the alpine zone of the South Island. Many species could not confidently be identified to species level based on current knowledge, and the samples included an undescribed genus and species of Carabidae (Coleoptera), and probable new species of Prodontria and Stethaspis (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), Anabarhynchus (Diptera: Therevidae) and Tortricidae (Lepidoptera). A further Lepidoptera species from the Mt Titiroa sand plains (Hierodoris extensilis Hoare, 2012 [Xyloryctidae]) has already been described as new. Whether any of these species is strictly associated with and endemic to the sand plain ecosystem remains to be confirmed. Lepidoptera recorded on Mt Titiroa outside the sand plains are listed in an Appendix.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"39 1","pages":"1 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2015.1108159","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58899776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lower temperature limit for development was estimated to be 10.4 °C, 6.3 °C and 7.6 °C by a linear model and two non-linear models, respectively. The latter two estimates may be more accurate than the former as the development curve deviates from linearity at low temperatures. The optimum temperature for development, when development rate is at a maximum, was estimated by the non-linear models as 33.8 °C and 34.7 °C. Eggs hatched within the range 10–38 °C with duration ranging from a maximum of 92 days at 10 °C to a minimum of 4.3 days at 35 °C.

Here, we bring the systematic knowledge of the New Zealand fauna of the very diverse rove beetle tribe Staphylinini closer to the level appropriate for biogeographic research. In particular, the hitherto puzzling New Zealand endemic genus Cafioquedus is considered a member of the Creophilus-complex (Staphylinina), while several other endemic species proved to be misidentifications of common introduced species. With these taxonomic updates, and taking into account the relative age and extant distributions of lineages that occur in New Zealand, we conclude the following: 1. the New Zealand Staphylinini are dominated (66%) by the endemic members of the subtribe Amblyopinina, which are likely Gondwanan paleoendemics; 2. species from the Creophilus- and Cafius-complexes (Staphylinina and Philonthina, respectively), are neoendemics (15%), possibly resulting from trans-oceanic colonisation; 3. human-transported adventive species (19%) form the notable, most recent and taxonomically heterogeneous component of the New Zealand fauna. Cafioquedus gularis Sharp, 1886 is redescribed. The following new combinations and synonymies are proposed: Philonthus longicornis Stephens, 1832 = Philonthus burrowsi (Broun, 1915), comb. nov., syn. nov.; Philonthus politus (Linnaeus, 1758) = Philonthus ohiaensis (Broun, 1923), syn. nov.; Philonthus umbratilis (Gravenhorst, 1802) = Philonthus insularis (Bernhauer and Schubert, 1916), syn. nov.; Sphingoquedius novaezeelandiae (Duvivier, 1883), comb. nov. = Sphingoquedius mannaiaensis (Cameron, 1945), comb. nov., syn. nov.; Quediomimus hybridus (Erichson, 1840), comb. nov. = Quediomimus taurus (Blackburn, 1888), comb. nov. = Quediomimus brookesi Cameron, 1948, syn. nov.

Improving the success of captive rearing requires specific prior ecological knowledge, for example habitat and climatic requirements. Here, we report on the captive rearing of the critically endangered Canterbury knobbled weevil Hadramphus tuberculatus (Pascoe, 1877). Only a single population of H. tuberculatus is known, with an estimated population size of fewer than 100 individuals; as such, captive rearing provides an opportunity to augment the remaining population and potentially to allow the establishment of new populations, if suitable sites can be found. We successfully reared two F1 generation adults and two live larvae were recovered at the end of the project. We use a qualitative spatial analysis to determine the location of possible sites for reintroduction of H. tuberculatus. The spatial analysis suggests that there is little suitable habitat remaining for new H. tuberculatus populations. Our study provides guidelines for future captive breeding programmes and highlights the risks of removing individuals from an already vulnerable, small population.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"39 1","pages":"23 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2015.1078434","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58899716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
