“…4B, E): a long right basal process and strong convex basal keel (bk), whose convexity shifts the position of the dorsal process (dp) of the paramere distally from its standard position. The eastern species of the moseleyae-group and A. aleyae Sokolov & Watrous from Missouri are closer to each other in having only one dorsal copulatory sclerite in the endophallus, an evenly-curved ventral margin, and the shorter shaft of the median lobe (Sokolov and Watrous 2008;Sokolov 2011). The Texan species and A. alleni Sokolov & Carlton, contrary to the members of the previous subgroup, have a longer shaft, often with a strong dorsal sclerotization, and more than one copulatory sclerite in the endophallus of the median lobe (Sokolov et al , 2017.…”

Two new species of blind ground beetles are described from the southern United States. One species, Anillinus relictussp. nov. (type locality: E of Oneonta, Blount County, Alabama), based on the structure of male genitalia, is similar to Texan Anillinus, in particular to the endogean A. sinuatus Jeannel. The second species, A. felicianussp. nov. (type locality: 4 mi SW Jackson, West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana), is superficially similar to the endogean A. sinuaticollis Jeannel from Roane County, Tennessee, and represents the first record of the genus for the state of Louisiana. All species are illustrated with digital images of habitus, body parts, and male and female genitalia. Biogeographical and evolutionary implications of the new findings are discussed.

Carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) of the Midwestern United States: a review and synthesis of recent research

Carabid beetles comprise a diverse and ubiquitous family of insects. Carabids are important in conservation biology and often have close associations with particular habitat types, making them useful biomonitoring organisms. Many carabids are also important biological control agents due to their predatory habits, but feeding habits within the family are quite diverse, and seed-eating or granivorous carabids can play an important role in shaping plant diversity and distributions. These qualities have particular relevance in the highly cultivated and fragmented landscape of the Midwestern U.S., and this region has become a very active one for carabid research in a variety of areas. In this paper, we review the state of carabid research in the Midwestern U.S., focusing on work published since the mid-1990s in carabid biogeography, conservation biology, biological control/pest management, feeding ecology and parasitism/health. Potentially productive directions for future research are discussed.

New species of Anillinus Casey (Carabidae: Trechinae: Bembidiini) from the Southern Appalachians and phylogeography of the A. loweae species group

The Anillinus loweae–species group comprises five species occurring in the southern Appalachian Mountains and adjacent upland terrains in southeastern United States. Three new species are described herein. Two are members of the loweae-group, Anillinus merritti sp. nov. from Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) (southeastern Tennessee and western North Carolina) and A. juliae sp. nov., from McMinn County, Tennessee. The third, A gimmeli sp. nov. from GSMNP, is closely allied to them morphologically. Loweae-group species may be distinguished from those of other species groups by the presence of paramedian areas without microsculpture on the head. They occur in forest litter habitats and the group’s distribution extends from Mississippi and Alabama in the south to the French Broad River of North Carolina and Tennessee in the north. Species within the group are distinguished mainly using characters of the male genitalia and to a lesser extent, differences in shapes of female spermathecae, body size, and relative proportions of body parts. A phylogeny of loweae-group species based on analyses of COI gene sequences, in combination with geographic distributions and correlations to likely physiographic isolating mechanisms, allow a hypothetical reconstruction of the biogeographic history of the group. The following major factors affected speciation within the loweae-group: (1) division of former ancestral ranges, due to changes in major drainage systems beginning prior to the onset of Pleistocene glaciation; (2) Pliocene-Pleistocene climate cooling and subsequent dispersal constrained by physical barriers; (3) Early Pleistocene glacial cycles influencing altitudinal stratification among species.
