“…About 25% of coleopteran families have fungal feeding habits (Lawrence ), and fungivorous species exist in 40 dipteran families (Krivosheina ). Among the coleopteran families, Ciidae is the most studied and includes the most common fungivores, even in the tropics (Lopes‐Andrade , Lawrence & Lopes‐Andrade , Graf‐Peters et al . ).…”

Factors affecting the structure of Coleoptera assemblages on bracket fungi (Basidiomycota) in a Brazilian forest

Insect–fungal interactions are an important but understudied aspect of tropical forest ecology. Here we present the first large‐scale study of insect communities feeding on the reproductive structures of macrofungi (basidiomes) in the Neotropics. This trophic interaction is not well characterized in most ecosystems; however, beetle consumption of basidiomes is thought to be affected by fungal factors, via mechanisms analogous to those observed in plant–herbivore interactions and in some interactions with fungi as hosts in the Holarctic region. We investigated how the composition of beetle assemblages varies as a function of fungal taxonomic distance, basidiome consistency, and hyphal systems. We collected 367 basidiomes belonging to the orders Polyporales and Hymenochaetales in the subtropical Araucaria angustifolia forest region of southern Brazil, along with any fauna present or without it. Basidiomes were maintained individually in the laboratory in plastic containers for up to three months to allow beetles to develop to adulthood, at which point the beetles were collected. We found that 207 basidiome specimens representing 40 species were associated with beetles. We recorded 447 occurrences of Coleoptera, representing 90 morphospecies from 20 families. We found that assemblages of fungivorous Coleoptera were more similar among more closely related fungi. Furthermore, the beetle assemblages varied as a function of basidiome toughness, which is influenced by sporocarp consistency and hyphal system type. The associations between beetles and basidiomes resemble those reported previously in temperate zones, suggesting continuity in the structure of such associations across a wide latitudinal range.

Three new species of Hadreule Thomson (Coleoptera: Ciidae) from the Southern Hemisphere with an identification key to world species

2020

Hadreule Thomson, 1859 is a small genus of ciid beetles, comprising three Holarctic and one Australasian species. Here, three additional species from the Southern Hemisphere are described: H. mineira sp. nov. from Southeast and Northeast Brazil, characterised by the eight‐segmented antennae and male with large abdominal sex patch; H. vivianae sp. nov. from Southeast Brazil, characterised by the elytra darker than pronotum and male with small abdominal sex patch; and H. pacifica sp. nov. from Polynesian and Micronesian islands, characterised by the third antennomere being twice as long as the fourth and the possession of a two‐segmented antennal club. A brief description and images of the presumed larva of H. pacifica sp. nov. are also provided, together with images of the presumed larva of H. mineira sp. nov. and an identification key for adults of the world species of Hadreule.

“…Xylographus Mellié is currently the most speciose Orophiini genus with 36 described species, and its highest diversity is found in tropical and subtropical regions. It is recognizable by the following features (Lopes‐Andrade & Zacaro 2003; Lawrence & Lopes‐Andrade 2010): (i) robust convex body, usually black; (ii) developed antennal club with a sinuous row of setae along its transversal midline; (iii) each sensillifer of the antennal club formed by a group of short setae organized in conspicuous concentric layers; (iv) first labial palpomere elongate, being almost as long or longer than the second palpomere; and (v) ovipositor reduced, devoid of gonostyli.…”

Xylographus globipennis Reitter, 1911, a ciid beetle known only from its type locality in Eritrea, has in fact a broad distribution in the Afrotropical region. A redescription of the species is provided, including the description of its male terminalia, based on the lectotype and three paralectotypes, here designated, and specimens from several localities in Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Kenya. The geographic distribution and similarities of external morphological characters of X. globipennis to other African Xylographus species are also discussed.
