antennomere numbers in fireflies coleoptera Lampyridae unique patterns and tentative explanations
Zoologischer Anzeiger, 2020Co-Authors: V C S Nunes, Luiz Felipe Lima Da Silveira, Kathrin F Stangerhall, P M Souto, Alessandro MinelliAbstract:Abstract The plesiomorphic antenna with eleven articles is stunningly stable across the over 400.000 beetle species, despite the astonishing diversity of morphologies and ecological settings in which these organisms live. However, a few beetle lineages evolved different antennomere numbers, and these offer an interesting opportunity to understand how an otherwise fixed phenotype may eventually change, and to study what factors shape their patterns of variation. Here, we review for the first time, based on original and literature data, the unique patterns of variation in antennomere numbers in the firefly family (Coleoptera: Lampyridae), which has the greatest range (7–62) in antennomere numbers among beetles despite a relatively low species diversity (∼2000 species). We also tested the hypothesis that antennomere numbers are positively related to body size and explored patterns of antennal asymmetry across Amydetes spp, which have the greatest range in antennomere numbers (24–62). Out of the ∼100 firefly genera, nine show antennomere numbers lower or higher than 11. Among those nine genera with unusual antennomere numbers, five show intraspecific variation as well. In taxa whose antennae have less than 11 antennomeres, males seem to follow mainly light cues to find mates. In Amydetes, we found that antennomere numbers are positively related and negatively allometric to body size, suggesting that in this group the mechanism shaping antennal segmentation is sensitive to body size. Moreover, fluctuating asymmetry was found to be widespread in Amydetes spp., with a difference of up to six antennomeres between left and right antennae. The combined occurrence of unusual antennomere numbers and within-species variation suggests that in several firefly taxa a destabilization of the mechanism driving antennal segmentation has occurred.

uanauna gen nov a new genus of fireflies endemic to the brazilian atlantic forest coleoptera Lampyridae with key to brazilian genera of lucidotina
Zootaxa, 2019Co-Authors: Lucas Campellogoncalves, Jose Ricardo M Mermudes, Paula Malaquias Souto, Luiz Felipe Lima Da SilveiraAbstract:Here, we propose Uanauna gen. nov. (Lampyridae: Photinini), a new monotypic genus of fireflies endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Uanauna angaporan sp. nov. occurs in Submontane and Montane forest habitats at the Serra do Mar mountain range, in the Southern Fluminense region (Rio de Janeiro State, Southeastern Brazil). The new species was recorded both on the mainland, at the municipality of Itaguai and Rio de Janeiro, and at the continental island of Ilha Grande, in Angra dos Reis, at the Rio de Janeiro State. An occurrence map and illustrations of diagnostic features are given for the new taxa, as well as a key to Lucidotina genera in Brazil.

Zootaxa, 2017Co-Authors: Luiz Felipe Lima Da Silveira, Jose Ricardo M MermudesAbstract:Here we describe Araucariocladus hiems gen. et sp. nov. (Lampyridae: Amydetinae), a firefly species endemic to high montane forests, and occurring during June, a relatively cool and dry month in the Southeastern Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil. We tentatively place it in Psilocladina McDermott, and discuss the limitations of its classification. We also provide illustrations of key structural features of the new taxa and discuss its affinities.

memoan ciceroi gen et sp nov a remarkable new firefly genus and species from the atlantic rainforest coleoptera Lampyridae
Zootaxa, 2013Co-Authors: Luiz Felipe Lima Da Silveira, Jose Ricardo M MermudesAbstract:A species of firefly discovered in a fragile and rapidly disappearing Atlantic Rainforest biome in Brazil does not fit into any of the existing subfamilies nor described generic categories in the Lampyridae and is described here as Memoan ci-ceroi gen. et sp. nov. and classed as Lampyridae Incertae sedis , as it exhibits features of both the Amydetinae and Lampy-rinae. An overview of subfamily arrangements and relevant generic characters is given to support this action. Memoan gen. nov. can be distinguished by its alveolate pronotum and elytra; subserrate antennae, antenommeres II–IX com-pressed, antennal sockets obliquely inserted on tubercles; labial palp one-segmented and obconic, and by its conspicuous pleuroventral suture.
