The first instar larvae of Meloe afer and M.occultus, with a clarification of antennal structure in larval Meloe (Coleoptera: Meloidae)

No full textThe Meloidae (Coleoptera) of Australasia: a generic review, descriptions of new taxa, and a challenge to the current definition of subfamilies posed by exceptional variation in male genitalia.
No full textThe seven Australasian genera of blister beetles (Coleoptera : Meloidae : Nemognathinae) are reviewed.
Included are a key to genera, generic synopses and descriptions of two new genera of Nemognathini, Australozonitis
and Pulchrazonitis, as well as a new monotypic tribe Palaestrini, which features a bauplan of male genitalia unique not only to
the subfamily Nemognathinae but to the entire family. The genus Palaestra is redefined to include several Australasian, Asian
and African species previously assigned to Zonitis. Exceptional variation of male genitalia encountered in the Palaestrini
challenges current subfamily definitions, which are partly based on male genitalic structure and correlated sexual behaviour.
Generic synopses include synonyms, type species, number of species, geographic distribution, significant references on
taxonomy, life history and morphology, and additional notes. Forty-six new combinations are proposed for species
previously in Zonitis. Distribution and relationship of tribes within the Nemognathinae, as well as the biogeography of the Australasian Meloidae are outlined and discussed
Review of the primitive blister beetle genus Iselma, with a description of the first instar larva (Coleoptera : Tenebrionoidea : Meloidae)
No full textThe genus Iselma, a primitive group of blister beetles from southern Africa, is reviewed. Included are the first description of its first instar larva based on two Namaqualand species (I. flavipennis and I. pallidipennis), partial information on behaviour (sexual and asexual), and a summary of bionomics, with records of host plants, habitat preference, and elevational distribution. Two new species from Namibia (I. piscatrix and I. deserticola) are described, and remarks on the taxonomy of various other species are provided. Two new synonymies are proposed: I. longispina Kaszab, 1952 = I. okiepana Peringuey, 1909, syn. n.; I. namaqua Peringuey, 1909 = I. flavipennis Haag-Rutenberg, 1879, syn. n. A species catalogue, with complete distribution records, is provided
