Taxonomical and bionomical notes on the Sicilian endemic water beetle Ochthebius (Cobalius) biltoni (Coleoptera: Hydraenidae)

Sicilian and Italian water beetle fauna
Revision of the pollen beetle genus Meligethes (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae)
No full textA taxonomic revision of members of the genus Meligethes Stephens, 1830 is carried out. Taxonomic and distributional notes are provided on fiftythree Meligethes species, mostly known from the Eastern Palearctic and marginally from the Western Palearctic and the Orien-tal Regions. Among these, twentythree new species of Meligethes are diagnosed, figured and described: M. argentithoraxsp. n. (Central China: Shaanxi, Shanxi), M. aurantirugosussp. n. (Nepal), M. aureolineatussp. n. (Central China: Sichuan), M. aurifersp. n. (Central China: Shaanxi, Shanxi), M.brassicogethoidessp. n. (SW China: Yunnan), M. clinei sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan), M. elytralis sp. n. (Cen-tral China: Sichuan), M. ferruginoidessp. n. (Central China: Sichuan), M. cinereoargenteus sp. n. (Central China: Sichuan), M. henan sp. n. (Central China: Henan), M. luteoornatus sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan), M. marmotasp. n. (Nepal), M. nivalissp. n. (SW and central China: Xizang and Chongqing), M. martessp. n. (Central China: Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan), M. nigroaeneus sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan),M. occultus sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan), M. pseudochinensis sp. n. (Central China: Hubei), M. pseudopectoralis sp. n. (SW China: Yun-nan), M. schuelkei sp. n. (Central China: Sichuan, Shaanxi), M. simulator sp. n. (Central-N China: Shanxi), M. stenotarsus sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan, Xizang), M. tryznai sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan), and M. volkovichi sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan).Revaluations at specific rank from synonymy are introduced for Meligetheslutra Solsky 1860, and for M. melleus Grouvelle, 1908. Three new synonymies are established: MeligethesbrevipilusKirejtshuk, 1980 = M.auripilis Reitter, 1889 (syn. n.), Meligethes zakharenkoi Kirejtshuk, 2005 = M.shirakii Sadanari Hisamatsu, 1956 (syn. n.), and Meligethes shirozui Sadanari Hisamatsu, 1965 = M.wagneri Rebmann, 1956 (syn. n.). Complete redescriptions are given for MeligethesbinotatusGrouvelle, 1894, M. castanescens Grouvelle, 1903, M. ferrugineus Reitter, 1873, and M. melleus Grouvelle, 1908. The male of Meligethes lloydi Easton, 1968, is described and figured for the first time. The female genitalia of Meligethes auricomus Rebmann, 1956, M. cinereus Jelínek, 1978, and M. griseus Jelínek, 1978 are described and figured for the first time. Available information on insect-host-plant relationships and ecology are summarized for each species; probably all are as-sociated as larvae with flowers of Rosaceae, chiefly of members of the closely related genera Rosa L., Rubus L., Prunus L., and Cratae-gus Tourn. ex L. All treated species are grouped in two here revaluated subgenera (Meligethes s.str. and Odonthogethes Reitter, 1871), and tentatively grouped also in species-groups and (when necessary) species-complexes, based on their morphology

Larval morphology of the water beetle Ochthebius balfourbrownei (Coleoptera: Hydraenidae) from marine rockpools of Cape Verde Islands
No full textThe morphology of larval instars I, II and III of the water beetle Ochthebius (Cobalius) balfourbrownei Jäch, 1989 from Cape Verde Islands is described and illustrated for the first time, by scanning electron microscopy, with a special emphasis on their chaetotaxy and porotaxy. Specimens used in this study were collected with adults of the same species in marine rockpools. A detailed description of characters is provided for comparison with the other members of the same genus inhabiting the marine rockpools, and illustrations of the diagnostic features are presented, with the aim of providing information useful for taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of the genus Ochthebius
