The external morphology of the new species is highly derived within Trechodina, in particular for the peculiar and unique shape of its elytra, and likely due in part to its subterranean habits. A phylogenetic analysis based on six nuclear and mitochondrial genes placed it unambiguously within the subtribe Trechodina of Trechinae, as sister to all extent species of Trechodes plus Sporades, distributed in Africa, Madagascar, Asia, New Caledonia and Australia. Using a Bayesian molecular clock approach we estimated the separation of Iberotrechodes n. gen. and its sister clade to have occurred in the early Paleocene, at ca. 61 Ma. The biogeographic implications of this discovery are discussed in the context of the unusual abundance of phylogenetically and geographically isolated species of subterranean Carabidae in the Iberian peninsula. Finally, new phylogenetic relationships are highlighted within Trechodina, such as the sister-group relationship between the genera Pachytrechodes (Tanzania) and Himalotrechodes (Nepal), and the African origin of the genus Amblystogenium (Crozet Islands).","PeriodicalId":323629,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133986204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Characteristic vegetation of halophytes accommodates unique communities of true bugs with several saline habitat specialists. These saline specialists and some rare steppe species are highly threatened and listed in the red lists of several Pannonian countries. Serbian data on true bug fauna from saline habitats are scarce, and the last known work on these insects was done by Géza Horváth more than a century ago. Our study aims to explore the richness of the true bug fauna of saline habitats with the presence of saline specialists in Northern Serbia. We also aim to highlight the species of potential conservation importance. In total, 231 species of true bugs species are recorded from saline habitats of the Pannonian Serbia. For the first time Agramma (Agramma) ruficorne (Germar, 1835), Chlamydatus (Chlamydatus) saltitans (Fallén, 1807), Emblethis brachynotus Horváth, 1897, Lygaeosoma anatolicum Seidenstücker, 1960, Geotomus punctulatus (Costa, 1847) and Phimodera flori Fieber, 1863 are mentioned here from our country. After several decades, seven species are rediscovered – Chartoscirta cocksii (Curtis, 1835), Acalypta gracilis (Fieber, 1844), Aoploscelis bivirgata (Costa, 1853), Compsidolon (Apsinthophylus) pumilum (Jakovlev, 1876), Conostethus hungaricus Wagner, 1941, Criocoris sulcicornis (Kirschbaum, 1856) and Crypsinus angustatus (Baerensprung, 1859) – previously, the most recent records of the latter four species were provided by Horváth in the late nineteenth century. After five years of systematic research of the Pannonic salt steppes and salt marshes, we could say that this unique group of habitats is one of the best-studied for true bugs in our country. However, to give a solid foundation for future red lists of true bugs of Serbia, other parts of the country also need to be explored thoroughly. Besides saline specialists, the red list should consider and prioritize species with rare records in Serbia.","PeriodicalId":323629,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114910519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vespa velutina Lepeletier, 1836, is a notorious bee-hawking hornet accidentally introduced in France before 2004 which spread across the European continent. Despite numerous studies and the impact on beekeeping activities, there are very few data on the diet of this species in its invaded range in Europe. To fill this knowledge gap, we studied 16 nests in the south-west of France between 2008 and 2010. Using a combination of morphological and barcoding approaches, we identified 2151 prey pellets showing that V. velutina acts as a generalist predator, preying on honeybees (38.1%), flies (29.9%) and social wasps (19.7%), as well as a wide spectrum of animal organisms (no less than 159 species identified). The prey spectrum is influenced by the nest surroundings, urban colonies preying more on honeybees and forest colonies preying more on social wasps. The predation intensity reaches its peak in early October. By comparing the dry weight of prey pellets to that of V. velutina larvae and considering the colony dynamics, we estimated that a single hornet nest can consume on average 11.32 kg of insect biomass in one season. Overall, our results suggest that V. velutina is a generalist opportunistic predator targeting mostly locally abundant prey. While the species may have an impact on honeybees, its generalist, opportunistic behaviour on abundant insects suggests a minor impact on wild species. Instead, attempts to manage this species using non-selective traps have a much greater impact on wild and domesticated entomofauna than the hornet itself.","PeriodicalId":323629,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.)","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131579804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We provide new data and we review previously available information on bees (Apoidea) associated with three economically important crops in Spain: melon (Cucumis melo L.), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai) and almond (Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A.Webb). We found that, overall, 98 bee species spanning four families visit flowers of the studied crop species, and 46 additional species were sampled within the crops with pan-traps. The bee assemblages visiting melon include 7–33 species, with moderate to high importance of small Lasioglossum (Halictidae) and of honey bee (Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758: Apidae), and in one case of small Ceratina: Apidae. Watermelon flowers are visited by 11–14 species of bees, with highest abundance of honey bees or of small Lasioglossum, depending on the locality. Bees collected on almond trees included 12–37 species, with the honey bee and medium-size to large Andrena (Andrenidae) and Osmia (Megachilidae) being predominant. The new samples expanded the geographical distributions of nearly one-fourth of the collected species. Diversity estimators slightly varied even within fields of the same crop, and a cluster analysis suggested both a certain overlap between melon and watermelon and a role of geographical distance on similarity among bee assemblages, though these patterns were much clearer using presence data rather than abundances. Below-ground-nesting and solitary species were more frequently collected than above-ground-nesting and eusocial species, but for melon and watermelon the highest abundances were recorded for eusocial species. Almost exclusively polylectic species visited the flowers of the three studied crops. The results of this study could help in planning conservation actions to maintain this important diversity of potential pollinators in Spanish areas covered by these crops.","PeriodicalId":323629,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123076643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The complete list of species is annotated and commented. Sixteen species (45.7%) were previously unrecorded in Zambia, five (13.5%) in Cameroon, 52 (67.5%) in Gabon, while all the species found at São Tomé were already known from that island. It is evident that Zambia and Gabon are countries unexplored from the orthopterological point of view, in particular because many unrecorded species in these countries are widespread in tropical Africa. The list of the species contains 11 new species; in the present paper six new species are described (Horatosphaga hemporum n. sp., Eulioptera richardsmithi n. sp., Dioncomena takanoi n. sp., Eurycorypha klausgerhardi n. sp., Arantia (Arantia) marginata n. sp., Tetraconcha fusca n. sp.), while one species of Leiodontocercus was already described and the description of the others is in progress within the revision of the genus Eurycorypha. Overall, collected material from Zambia contained four new species (12.5%), that from Gabon seven new species (9.2%), of which one is common to Gabon and Cameroon. Based on the results presented here, the orthopterofauna of Gabon is particularly rich and additional sampling will result in the discovery of further unknown species. Interestingly, Desaulcya pictipennis from Gabon was known only from the type material described 113 years before in Cameroon, and Rhinodera spinifrons also from Gabon was known only from the type described 64 years before in Cameroon.","PeriodicalId":323629,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126341864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
