“…There are at least five species of Cyclocephala in Kansas (Bauernfeind, 2001), all of which have similar life cycles and environmental tolerances. These beetles have a 1-year life cycle, divided into adult and larval stages.…”

“…Grubs are considered pests and have considerable economic impact because they feed on the roots of herbaceous plants. Most research has focused on habitat preference, distribution, and means of control (Potter, 1998;Vittum et al, 1999;Bauernfeind, 2001;Merchant et al, 2004). Burrowing mechanism and burrow characteristics are of little interest to agronomists and thus remain relatively unknown.…”

Laboratory experiments conducted with larvae and adults of the northern or southern masked chafer beetle (Scarabaeidae: Cyclocephala lurida or C. borealis) tested hypotheses that beetle larvae construct meniscate, backfilled burrows and that they are distinct from backfilled burrows constructed by marine organisms. Beetle larvae were placed in narrow enclosures with laminated moist, fine-tomedium-grained sand and allowed to burrow for several weeks. Beetle larvae did not create open burrow systems but instead excavated single open cells approximately twice their body width and roughly equal to their body length. Burrowing was accomplished by scraping sediment with the head and mandibles, consolidating excavated sediment into a ball, rotating 180؇ with the ball to the back of the cell, and packing the ball onto the posterior end of the cell. The beetle larvae produced vertical-to-horizontal traces that were straight to tortuous and composed of discrete packets of meniscate backfill. Adult chafer beetles moved through the media using a sandswimming motion, that is, by passing sand around their bodies with the legs. Traces produced by adults are characterized by straighter axes and mixed passive and active fill resulting from sediment collapse and sediment transported backward. When vertical, adult burrows contain chevron-shaped fill. Traces produced by these beetles are similar to adhesive meniscate burrows found in many ancient continental deposits as old as the Permian and can be assigned to Naktodemasis isp. We propose that Naktodemasis with this kind of burrow morphology were soil-dwelling insect larvae that used burrowing mechanisms similar to chafer beetle larvae. These experiments demonstrate that this kind of burrow morphology is terrestrial in origin, suggesting that previous interpretations that the burrows are subaqueous in origin need to be reevaluated.

“…Devido à importância das espécies de Cyclocephala, Bauernfeind (2001) estudou a sua distribuição no Kansas, EUA, encontrando seis espécies, sendo que, C. lurida Bland e C. pasadenae (Casey) foram as coletadas em maiores quantidades. Porém, nem todas as espécies de Cyclocephala são pragas, sendo que algumas podem apresentar importante papel na polinização de plantas (Gibernau et al 1999), enquanto outras podem contribuir para a decomposição da matéria orgânica (Salvadori & Pereira 2006).…”

Cyclocephaline scarab beetles represent the second largest tribe of the subfamily Dynastinae, and the group includes the most speciose genus of dynastines, Cyclocephala. The period following publication of Sebő Endrődi’s The Dynastinae of the World has seen a huge increase in research interest on cyclocephalines, and much of this research has not been synthesized. The objective of this catalog and bibliography is to compile an exhaustive list of taxa in Cyclocephalini. This paper provides an updated foundation for understanding the taxonomy and classification of 14 genera and over 500 species in the tribe. It discusses the history of cataloging dynastine species, clarifies issues surrounding the neotype designations in Endrődi’s revision of Cyclocephalini, synthesizes all published distribution data for cyclocephaline species, and increases accessibility to the voluminous literature on the group by providing an easily searchable bibliography for each species. We propose the nomen novum Cyclocephala rogerpauli, new replacement name, for C. nigra Dechambre.
