“…Actualmente se conocen 2,822 especies descritas, con mayor diversidad en las regiones Afrotropical, Neotropical y Oriental (Bouchard et al, 2011;Gough et al, 2018). Este grupo es de gran importancia ecológica debido a que son depredadores generalistas desde el estado larval y han sido considerados como insectos bioindicadores (Carroll y Pearson, 1998;Jaskuła y Płóciennik, 2020;Pearson, 2006;Pearson y Cassola, 1992;Rodríguez et al, 1994Rodríguez et al, , 1998.…”

Se describen la riqueza y diversidad beta de escarabajos tigre (Carabidae: Cicindelinae) en las 3 regiones y 14 provincias biogeográficas de México. Con información de bases de datos, colecciones entomológicas y literatura publicada se recabaron 6,501 registros pertenecientes a 4 tribus, 16 géneros y 122 especies de cicindelinos distribuidas en México. A nivel nacional, el estimador Chao1 predijo 128 especies, por lo que el inventario estaría completo en 95%. Las provincias con la mayor riqueza fueron el Desierto Chihuahuense, Tierras Bajas del Pacífico y Veracruzana, mientras que la menor riqueza se registró en las provincias Californiana, Tamaulipas y Península de Yucatán. Se estimó la diversidad beta y sus componentes de recambio y anidamiento entre regiones y entre provincias biogeográficas. La mayor diversidad beta se presentó entre las provincias de la Zona de Transición Mexicana. En la mayoría de los casos, el recambio fue el principal componente de la diversidad beta. Este trabajo describe la distribución de las especies de cicindelinos en las provincias biogeográficas del país, pero a escala local aún son necesarios estudios para entender la ecología de estos insectos, los factores que determinan sus patrones de distribución y sus respuestas a los cambios ambientales.

“…The subfamily Cicindelinae or commonly known as tiger beetles were formerly assigned to a separate family Cicindelidae (Carter, 1989;Pearson & Cassola, 2001;Pearson, 2007) and is now classified as a subfamily within Carabidae (Hill & Abang, 2010;Bosuang et al, 2017;Gough et al, 2018). The distinctive characteristics of these beetles can be observed from their large eyes, long narrow legs, and acutely toothed mandibles.…”

The subfamily Cicindelinae which belongs to the family Carabidae are commonly known as tiger beetles. Despite the recent studies conducted on this taxon, current ecological knowledge on tiger beetles is limited. Thus, this study aimed to provide a current checklist of tiger beetles as well as their species distribution, abundances and habitat preferences in Sarawak based on voucher specimens from Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Insect Reference Collection (UIRC). A total of 76 specimens of tiger beetles were examined in which comprising of seven genera from eight species. The genus Neocollyris was represented with two species, namely Neocollyris (s. str.) ermaginata and Neocollyris (Stenocollyris) sarawakensis macrodera, while the other genera were represented by only one species, respectively. The most abundant species with 64 individuals (84.21%) were represented by Cosmodela aurulenta, followed by Abroscelis tenuipes araneipes and Therates labiatus with three individuals (3.95%) and N. ermaginata with two individuals (2.63%). In this study, there were eight ecological habitats being identified, namely heath forest, limestone forest, littoral forest, mixed dipterocarp forest, oil palm plantation, peat swamp forest, riverine forest and urban area. The data indicates that C. aurulenta being recorded at seven ecological habitats suggesting this species to have a wide distribution capability while species such as A. tenuipes araneipes, Callytron doriai, Cicindela sp., Myriochila (s. str.) specularis brevipennis, N. ermaginata and N. s. macrodera suggesting these species to have a very narrow habitat specialisation. The results of this preliminary study provide evidence on the need to conduct further studies on the ecological aspects of tiger beetles in Sarawak.
