leaf litter inhabiting beetles as surrogates for establishing priorities for conservation of selected tropical montane cloud forests in honduras central america coleoptera staphylinidae Curculionidae
Biodiversity and Conservation, 2000Co-Authors: Robert S. Anderson, James S AsheAbstract:Thirteen tropical montane cloud forests (TMCFs) in Honduras and adjacent El Salvador were evaluated for species diversity and endemism in leaf litter inhabiting Curculionidae (weevils) and Staphylinidae in June and August of 1994. Totals of 26,891 specimens representing 293 species of Curculionidae, and 7349 specimens representing 224 species of Staphylinidae, were collected. Regional endemism was high with 173 species (58.7% of total) of Curculionidae and 126 species (56.3% of total) of Staphylinidae, restricted to single sites. Measures of diversity (number of observed species [Sobs]; number of endemic species) and estimates of biodiversity (Chao 2, first and second order Jackknife and Bootstrap richness estimators) are given for each site for Curculionidae and Staphylinidae. Priority-areas analyses based on Sobs (‘Greedy’), Sobs, Chao 2, number of endemic species, site complementarity and higher taxonomic diversity (Curculionidae only) are presented. Weak or lack of correlation was noted between site area and site diversity for either Curculionidae or Staphylinidae. The optimum sequence for site conservation was determined based on Sobs (‘Greedy’). Four sites are identified as the highest conservation priorities; Parque Nacional Montecristo, P.N. La Muralla, P.N. Santa Barbara and P.N. Comayagua. Identification as high priority sites supports their designation as Parques Nacionales rather than the less diverse Reservas Biologias or Reservas Vidas Silvestres. While closely approximating performance of Sobs (‘Greedy’), no one of Sobs, number of endemics, Chao 2 or site complementarity give results equivalent to the optimum sequence based on Sobs (‘Greedy’) and the latter is concluded to be the best method for establishing conservation priorities in TMCF. Results of the analyses based on one of Curculionidae or Staphylinidae differ in the ordering of site priorities based on each of Sobs, Chao 2 or number of endemics at each site, with at best, weak positive correlations between results based on each taxon. Data from other taxa are necessary to determine if one of Curculionidae or Staphylinidae emerges as the better surrogate for general patterns of biodiversity in TMCF. Conservation strategies in Central America should emphasize the importance of TMCF particularly in view of high regional endemism. In formulating these strategies, consideration needs to be given to the preservation of many small regional preserves rather than fewer larger preserves. Data from inventories of other taxa should be included where available and all biological data should be integrated with social and cultural issues of regional importance.

Curculionoidea of southern Florida: An annotated checklist (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea [excluding Curculionidae; Scolytinae, Platypodinae])
1992Co-Authors: Robert S. AndersonAbstract:The fauna of Curculionoidea (exclusive ofthe subfamilies Scolytinae and Platypodinae of the Curculionidae) is surveyed for Dade and Monroe Counties in southern Florida. Numbers of genera and species represented are as follows: Anthribidae (12 genera, 22 species), Belidae (1 genus, 2 species), Attelabidae (3 genera, 3 species), Brentidae (6 genera, 14 species) and Cureulionidae (1115 genera, 249 species). No Nemonychidae are recorded from southern Florida. Included in the totals are 25 species considered as introduced to the region and 5 species likely not established in the region. Twenty apparently undescribed species are recorded. Fifteen are assignable to genera as follows; Ormiscus (2)(Anthribidae),and Podapion(l)(Brentidae),and Prosaldius (l),Acalles(6),Callels (1), Zascelis (l), Notolomus (1), Lixus (1), and Conotrachelus (1) (Curculionidae). The generic placement of 5 undescribed species of Curculionidae is uncertain and descriptions of new genera may be required New generic records for the United States of America are Homocloeus Jordan(Anthribidae), and Stenotrupis Wollaston (Curculionidae;Cossoninae) and Heilus Kuschel (Curculionidae; Curculioninae). New species records for the United States are Homocloeus distentus Frieser and Homocloeus sexverrucatus (Suffrian) (Anthribidae) and Stenotrupis acicula Wollaston, Caulophilus rufotestaceus (Champion), Micromimus minimus (Boheman) (Curculionidae; Cossoninae), and Anthonomus rubricosus Boheman and Heilus bioculatus (Boheman) (Curculionidae; Curculioninae). Particularly well-represented in terms of species diversity is the anthribid genus Ormiscus (6), the brentid genus Apion (9) and the curculionid genera Listronotus (21), Anthonomus (14), Acalles (13), Conotrachelus (11), Tyloderma (10) and Sphenophorus (10).

Addenda and corrigenda to A World Catalogue of Families and Genera of Curculionoidea (Insecta: Coleoptera). 2
Zootaxa, 2006Co-Authors: Christopher H.c. Lyal, Miguel A. Alonso-zarazagaAbstract:Omissions from and corrections to Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal (1999) and Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal (2002) are given. The following valid taxon described before 2000 was absent and is now included: Oedeuops Zhang, 1989 (fossil) in Attelabidae. A new replacement name is proposed in Brachyceridae: Brotheusini Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal, nom. nov., for Brotheini Marshall, 1907, non Simon, 1879 (Scorpiones). New synonymies are: Mecocerini Lacordaire 1866 (= Cappadocini Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal, 1999, syn. nov.) and Phloeophilus Schoenherr, 1833 (= Cappadox Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal, 1999, syn. nov. = Platynorhynchus Schoenherr, 1839, syn. nov.) in Anthribidae; Cnemoxys Marshall, 1956 (= Lavabrenymus Hoffmann, 1966, syn. nov.) in Curculionidae Conoderinae. Omitted synonymies are: Otiorhynchus (Thalycrynchus) Reitter, 1912 (= Panaphilis Dejean, 1821) (removed from synonymy with Otiorhynchus s. str) and Brachysomus Schoenherr, 1823 (= Pseudoptochus Formánek, 1905) in Curculionidae Entiminae. A new combination is: Cnemoxys armatus (Hoffmann, 1966) comb. nov. from Lavabrenymus Hoffmann, 1966. New placements are: Alloschema Jordan, 1928 to Zygaenodini (from Cappadocini) (Anthribidae). Diastatotropis Lacordaire, 1866, Systellorhynchus Blanchard, 1849 and Perroudius Holloway, 1982 to Anthribinae incertae sedis (from Cappadocini) (Anthribidae). Eczesaris Pascoe, 1859 and Ethneca Pascoe, 1860 to Mecocerini (from Cappadocini) (Anthribidae). Codmius Faust, 1895 to Conoderinae Campyloscelini Corynemerina (from Baridinae Madarini Tonesiina) (Curculionidae). The subgenera Acercomecus Reitter, 1903, Gnathomecus Reitter, 1903 and Hypesamus Reitter, 1903 are wrongly listed under Esamus Chevrolat, 1880 and should be transferred to be under Megamecus Reitter, 1903.

elytro tergal stridulation in weevils insecta coleoptera curculionoidea
Journal of Natural History, 1996Co-Authors: Christopher H.c. Lyal, Tony KingAbstract:Many Curculionidae, Scolytidae and Platypodidae stridulate by rubbing a plectrum on tergite VII against a subapical file on the elytral underside. The file on the right elytron may be smaller than that on the left, or absent; on either elytron it usually comprises a series of parallel ridges. The plectrum generally consists of one or more pair of setiferous tubercles, although other structures are sometimes employed. This stridulatory system (‘type 1’) is found in members of 14 curculionid subfamilies and in Scolytidae. Platypodidae have a similar and probably homologous organ, although the morphology of the file differs somewhat from that found elsewhere and the plectrum is a simple flange. Within Curculionidae three other elytro-tergal stridulatory systems have been found. Firstly, in some Cossoninae and Molytinae, the file is a row of tubercles on tergite VII and the plectrum is a ridge on the elytron (‘type 2’); this is newly reported here. Secondly, females of Ithyporini, some Camptorhinini and some ...
