Decomposition of organic matter and soil nitrogen (N) cycling is a key process in soil fertility. In arid ecosystems, plant litter remains intact for long periods and is gradually consumed by macrodetritivore arthropods. It is suggested that tenebrionid beetles are responsible for most of nutrient cycling from accumulated litter in warm and dry seasons in arid ecosystems. The objective of this work was to extent the role on soil fertility and N cycling to Nyctelia dorsata Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) throughout litter fragmentation and consumption in a manipulative pot experiment. Our results showed that litter presence alone is not enough to incorporate N to the soil. N. dorsata consumed a significant fraction of litter and this activity was associated to an increase in soil N contents in the experimental pots. These confirmed that several tenebrionid species positively affects soil fertility in Northeastern Patagonia throughout litter fragmentation/consumption; and that these effects may vary with body size. Consequently, these beetles might be very important into the food/energy web from plants to higher trophic levels in this region.","PeriodicalId":50775,"journal":{"name":"Annales Zoologici","volume":"46 1","pages":"129 - 134"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88635675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tribe Amphidorini LeConte, 1862, commonly known as the Desert Stink Beetles, is a species-rich group of flightless darkling beetles in the subfamily Blaptinae Leach, 1815 distributed throughout the Western Hemisphere and contains 252 valid species-group taxa within seven genera. In this study we provide molecular phylogenetic analyses based on seven loci to assess both the tribal monophyly and composition of Amphidorini as well as the genus and species-group relationships within the tribe. We find strong support for the exclusion of the South American genus Nycterinus Eschscholtz, 1829 from the rest of the otherwise North American tribe. Nycterinus is recovered in a distantly related clade comprising several Western Hemisphere tribes of Tenebrioninae Latrielle, 1802 and is placed as incertae sedis within that subfamily. Within the remaining 23 genera and subgenera within Amphidorini, 11 were recovered as distinct lineages. The composition and relationships of genera and subgenera of the large genus Eleodes Eschscholtz, 1829 are discussed along with the need for an overhaul in genus-group classification which will likely require the elevation to genus of many current constituent lineages of Eleodes.","PeriodicalId":50775,"journal":{"name":"Annales Zoologici","volume":"41 1","pages":"49 - 68"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81547494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incomplete knowledge of the species distribution ranges represents a serious barrier for many areas of study in Biology that goes from Systematics to conservation of Biodiversity. One of the most important available resources to deal with the lack of geographic information are scientific collections. Epicauta with more than 366 species described is one of the most speciose lineages within Meloidae. Almost 73% of its diversity occurs in America. In Venezuela, the tenth richest country in biodiversity of the world, only nine species of Epicauta have been recorded and most of them are known from one or two localities. The revision of the specimens of Epicauta held at the entomological collection of the Museo del Instituto de Zoología Agrícola “Francisco Fernandez Yépez” (MIZA) of the Universidad Central de Venezuela at Maracay, with additional data from other American and European collections allowed us to improve significantly the knowledge of the geographic distribution of the Venezuelan taxa.

Nine genus-group names are removed from Alleculinae “incertae sedis” based on a study of type material found in museum collections. Investigation of holotypes resulted in the following conclusions: Alogistopsis pilistriata Borchmann, 1943, Lagriallecula aeneipennis Pic, 1920, Pseudomorocaulus rufonotatus Pic, 1915, Stenogenomorpha impressa Pic, 1919 are members of the subtribe Alleculina Laporte, 1840; Bancocistela ivoirensis Pic, 1947 and Cistelodema cyanea (Pic, 1930) belong to the subtribe Gonoderina Seidlitz, 1896.
