Note sulla coleotterofauna xilofaga di un bosco di pianura

Abstract - Notes on the xylophagous coleopterous fauna of a re-naturalized plain wood: the Gerbasso Wood, Carmagnola (TO), Italy (Coleoptera: Buprestidae, Cerambycidae, Scolytidae) - We studied the community of the xylophagous beetles belonging to the families Buprestidae, Cerambycidae and Scolytidae in the Gerbasso Wood. This wood is a re-naturalized area in the commune of Carmagnola (Turin district, NW Italy). It is the outcome of a re-naturalization work started in 1987 before the establishment of the "Po river Park in the Turin district" in which the Gerbasso Wood is now included. A faunistic list and some chorological and ecological data concerning the recorded species are provided. A comparison with the xylophagous beetle communities living in other older plain woods of the same Piedmont region was undertaken in order to try to understand how these insects have re-colonized the Gerbasso Wood.

Annual variation in the beetle fauna associated with

the Hard Beech (Nothophagus truncata) litter

of the Orongorongo Valley, New Zealand

by

J. KLIMASZEWSKI & G. KUSCHEL

Abstract - 67 beetle species represented by 1063 specimens are listed in the samples from the hard beech forest litter of the Orongorongo Valley. The samples were studied from three seasons: 1992/1993 (November-February), 1993/1994 (October-Februrary) and 1994/1995 (October-February). The recorded beetles belong to 18 families, 3 of which are represented by a high number of specimens and/or species: Staphylinidae (13 species, 198 specimens), Dryopidae (1 species, 69 specimens) and Curculionidae (29 species, 714 specimens). Five dominant species are detected: Paratorchus tardus McColl (Staphylinidae, Osoriinae), Parnida agrestis Broun (Dryopidae), Allaorus pyriformis Broun (Curculionidae, Cossoninae), Dermothrius farinosus (Broun) (Curculionidae, Cryptorhynchini) and Geochus tibialis Broun (Curculionidae, Rhamphini). Variation in number of adults among months and years of the dominant species are presented and discussed. Number of species and specimens indicate small variation in the three collecting seasons: 92/93 (42 species, 394 specimens), 93/94 (43 species, 310 specimens) and 94/95 (34 species, 359 specimens). Beech flowering in 1994 did not show any immediate effect on adult beetle number or species richness. 49 species are newly recorded, and not listed by McColl (1974), and Moeed & Meads (1985, 1987a) from the hard beech forests.

A list and notes on some nocturnally active beetles (Coleoptera)

attracted to street lights at Townsville,

north-eastern Queensland, Australia

by

TREVOR J. HAWKESWOOD

Abstract - Casual observations and collections of insects in the Townsville area, north-eastern Queensland, during 1980-81, have revealed at least 26 species of macro-Coleoptera from the families Carabidae, Cicindelidae, Hydrophilidae, Geotrupidae, Scarabaeidae, Buprestidae, Elateridae and Cerambycidae attracted to street lights. Most beetles were collected on hot, humid nights (temperature 16-24°C) between 1830 and 2200 hrs (Eastern Standard Time), usually after heavy rainfall from previous days and/or nights.

Abstract - Ecological monographs on the Coleoptera of Romagna. 5. The rivers of the plain - The chief rivers of the plain in Romagna (northern Italy) were intensely investigated by the author for 20 years, to collect data on the communities of Coleoptera inhabiting their beds. To prevent floods all rivers are provided with high embarkments: from their tops down to the stream, as a rule, five different kinds of habitat are present. 1. The xeric, steppic upper areas; 2. The mesofil habitat of the banks only periodically flooded; 3. The Salicetum, bordering with shrubs the ordinary bed of the river; 4. The wet edges of clay and sand; 5. The permanently flooded areas and the stream. Different communities of Coleoptera inhabit the five habitats. The typical associations are outlined and new faunistic and ecological data are given for several taxa of Coleoptera.

Abstract - Ecological monographs on the Coleoptera of Romagna. 2. The argille scagliose of the middle and upper Apennines - The author studied for the last ten years the Coleoptera living on the argille scagliose [scaly clays] of the middle and upper Apennines of Romagna (northern Italy). The data regard 23 families, and among species the most interesting are ground ones (Carabidae and Staphylinidae especially), whereas herbivores are common and widespread in many habitats of the region. A map illustrates the distribution of the argille scagliose, and a drawing proportionally represents the collected families.

Pollination of Leptospermum flavescens Sm. (Myrtaceae)

by beetles (Coleoptera)

in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia

by

T. J. HAWKESWOOD

Abstract - A total of 40 beetle species (Coleoptera) from 8 families (Buprestidae, Cantharidae, Cleridae, Elateridae, Lycidae, Mordellidae and Scarabaeidae) were collected from the flowers of the Yellow Tea Tree, Leptospermum flavescens Sm. (Myrtaceae), during 1-12 December 1976 in the Blaxland area of the lower Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia. The dominant group, in terms of both number of species and abundance, were the Buprestidae. A high percentage (90-100%) of beetles from all families carried Leptospermum pollen at the time of capture and examination. Larger, more active beetles tended to carry the largest pollen loads. Data presented here and from the previously published literature suggest that L. flavescens is predominantly visited, and pollinated, by beetles.

Zonazione altitudinale e caratteristiche strutturali

di coleotterocenosi fitosaprobie in un settore

dell'Alta Valle Seriana

(Lombardia, prov. Bergamo)

ALESSANDRO FOCARILE

Abstract - Altitudinal zonation and structural characteristics of phytosaprobius coenoses of Coleoptera in the Upper Seriana Valley (northern Italy, Lombardy, Bergamo District) - A transect has been established from 700 up to 1750 m a.s.l. through the vegetation belts, respectively: 1) the riparian woods (Alnetum incanae); 2) the mixed broad-leaves woods (Acer, Corylus, Tilia, Fraxinus); 3) the beech-woods (Fagus); 4) the mixed woods of subalpine conifers (Abies, Picea); 5) the Alnetum viridis shrubs. Thanks to the homogeneous collecting-techniques, more than 600 specimens representing some 56 species of 13 families were collected. The phytosaprobius coenoses 1) and 5) are impoverished as a consequence of the marginal aspects of the surveyed territory. From 800 up to 1750 m a.s.l. the "index of Staphylinidae" regularly rises; this confirms the trend already observed studying similar coenoses in the southern Alps. The interpretation of data was supported by several samplings of fauna gathered in various types of woods, from Quercus ilex- up to Pinus cembra-belt, in different Italian regions.
