Studies on the Chrysomelidae (Coleoptera) of the Baja California peninsula: the genusCryptocephalusGeoffroy, 1762 (Chrysomelidae: Cryptocephalinae: Cryptocephalini: Cryptocephalina)

“…No records of C. drewi are known for the U.S. or any other location on the Baja California peninsula, but this may only be due to a lack of collecting from the host plant at the appropriate time of the year. This is the fi rst record of a Cryptocephalus associated with R. integrifolia, although Clark et al (2004) Description. Female: Form elongate, 1.72× as long as maximum width, widest at elytral humeri; sides of elytra subparallel, rounded at apex; length 4.76 mm; width 2.76 mm.…”

Anchored hybrid enrichment provides new insights into the phylogeny and evolution of longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae)

“…Kingsolver, 2002, accepted Bruchidae as a family), whereas Megalopodidae (including Palophaginae as a subfamily following Kuschel & May, 1990) and Orsodacnidae (including Aulacoscelidinae as a subfamily following Kuschel &May, 1990 andReid, 1995) are separate families (e.g. Clark & Riley, 2002;Riley et al, 2003;Clark et al, 2004;Lawrence &Ślipiński, 2013Lawrence &Ślipiński, , 2014aLöbl & Smetana, 2010;Bouchard et al, 2011).…”

Disentangling a taxonomic nightmare: a revision of the Australian, Indomalayan and Pacific species of Altica Geoffroy, 1762 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae)

“…S Anderson). There are no other regional records of Altica species on citrus (Jolivet 1991) but two North American species of Altica are recorded from this host (Clark et al 2004). There are also specimens of A. aenea from Fiji labelled "growing leaf tips of rice" (BPBM), however we suspect that the label refers to non-feeding specimens or is a mislabelled sweep of rice with Ludwigia present.…”

“…Wordwide, several Altica species have been suggested for biocontrol of pasture or aquatic weeds, for example A. carduorum Guérin-Méneville, 1858, on Cirsium arvense (Wan et al 1996) and A. lythri Aubé, 1843, on Lythrum salicaria (Batra et al1986). Some Altica species are pests, including the European A. ampelophaga Guérin-Méneville, 1858, on Vitis (Picard 1926), and several pest species in North American horticulture (Clark et al 2004). Altica species are of slight significance in the Australian region.…”
