Hunchback darkling beetles of the Ibero-Maghrebian genus Misolampus Latreille, 1807 (Tenebrionidae, Stenochiinae) encompass six species: M. gibbulus (Herbst, 1799), M. goudotii Guérin-Méneville, 1834, M. lusitanicus Brême, 1842, M. ramburii Brême, 1842, M. scabricollis Graells, 1849, and M. subglaber Rosenhauer, 1856. Previously known distribution ranges of the species were delineated using many old records, the persistence of such populations being questionable under the current situation of global biodiversity loss. Additionally, the status of geographically isolated populations of the genus have been the subject of taxonomic controversy. An exhaustive bibliographical revision and field search was undertaken, and the Misolampus collection of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN-CSIC) was revised. The aims are to (i) provide an updated geographic distribution range for the species of Misolampus; (ii) to determine the taxonomic status of controversial populations; (iii) to provide a catalogue for Misolampus; and (iv) to discuss the conservation status of these saproxylic beetles. As a result, a catalogue including synonymies and type localities, geographical records, diagnoses, and information on natural history for all species of Misolampus is presented. The results reveal that the distribution ranges of the species of Misolampus have not undergone a reduction in the last century, and indicate the presence of the genus in areas where it had never been recorded before. The morphological variability of M. goudotii drove the proposal of different taxa that are here formally synonymised as follows: M. goudotii Guérin-Méneville, 1834 = M. erichsoni Vauloger de Beaupré, 1900, syn. nov. = M. peyerimhoffi Antoine, 1926, syn. nov.

A faunistic survey on beetles was conducted within the Talassemtane National Park (Western Rif, District of Chefchaouen), in order to improve knowledge of their local diversity, to assess species and provide the first list of heritage species. This is an inventory that took place for 3 consecutive years (2013-2015). Out of 550 species identified so far, 137 are processed in this document, which lists heritage species: 67 endemic to Morocco, 20 rare saproxylic and 48 species new to Morocco, including two new to science.

“…1). These traps are broadly applied in entomological research [5, 6]. While the trappability of the commercial insect trap remains the same, the actual insect sampling is automated and optimized: a platform containing seven flasks is rotated by a stepper motor which is fed by a rechargeable battery (Fig.…”

12Recent debates on insect decline require sound assessments on the relative drivers that may negatively 13 impact insect populations. Often, baseline data rely on insect monitorings that integrates catches over 14 long time periods. If, however, effects of time-critical environmental factors (e.g., light pollution) are 15 of interest, higher temporal resolution of insect observations during specific time intervals are required 16 (e.g., between dusk and dawn). Conventional time-critical insect trapping is labour-intensive (manual 17 activation/deactivation) and temporally inaccurate as not all traps can be serviced synchronically at 18 different sites. Also, temporal shifts of environmental conditions (e.g., sunset/sunrise) are not 19 accounted for. 20 We provide a battery-driven automated insect flight-interception trap which samples insects during 21 seven user-defined time intervals. A commercially available flight-interception trap is fitted to a 22 157 (e.g., https://www.msr.ch/en/product/msr145 for lux, temperature and relative humidity 158 measurements). 159 160
