“…However, none of these defensive strategies are unique to neotenics, as similar colour patterns are known in several non-neotenic lineages, e.g. in Afrotropical and Asian Lycini (Bocak & Matsuda 2003). The origin of these strategies for predator evasion clearly preceded the shift to extreme neoteny.…”

“…Postembryonic development in these lineages requires several years before maturation (Wong 1996;Bocak & Matsuda 2003), a deceleration of somatic development that is frequently associated with neoteny (Gould 1977). Neoteny is presumably favoured under conditions of slow growth in stable environments that remove the need for a dispersive adult stage and high production of offspring (Gould 1977).…”

Multiple ancient origins of neoteny in Lycidae (Coleoptera): consequences for ecology and macroevolution

Neoteny, the maintenance of larval features in sexually mature adults, is a radical way of generating evolutionary novelty through shifts in relative timing of developmental programmes. While controlled by the environment in facultative neotenics, retention of larval features is obligatory in many species of Lycidae (net-winged beetles). They are studied here as an example of how developmental shifts and ecology interact to produce macroevolutionary impacts. We conducted a phylogenetic analysis of Lycidae based on DNA sequences from nuclear (18S and 28S rRNA) and mitochondrial (rrnL, cox1, cob and nad5) genes from a representative set of lineages (73 species), including 17 neotenic taxa. Major changes of basal relationships compared with those implied in the current classification generally supported three independent origins of neotenics in Lycidae. The southeast Asian Lyropaeinae and Ateliinae were in basal positions indicating evolutionary antiquity, also confirmed by molecular clock estimates, unlike the neotropical leptolycines nested within Calopterini and presumably much younger. neotenics exhibit typical K-selected traits including slow development, large body size, high investment in offspring and low dispersal. This correlated with low species richness and restricted ranges of neotenic lineages compared with their sisters. Yet, these factors did not impede the evolutionary persistence of affected lineages, even without reversals to fully metamorphosed forms, contradicting earlier suggestions of recent evolution from dispersive non-neotenics.

Abstract. The subfamily Metriorrhynchinae is the most species-rich clade of Lycidae (Coleoptera). A recent proposal suggests that the Erotinae is a sister group of the Metriorrhynchinae. Within the Metriorrhynchinae, evidence is presented for the monophyly of the Conderini and Metriorrhynchini and their sister group position. The Trichalina, Hemiconderina and Metriorrhynchina form the tribe Metriorrhynchini. The relationships between the basal lineages of this group are poorly understood. Several clades are distin guished within the Metriorrhynchina, but there is only weak evidence supporting a relationships between them. The distribution of individual clades is discussed.

“…This genus is distributed along the Southeast Asia, showing its higher species diversity in Indo-Burma, Sundaland, and Philippines (Masek & Bocak 2014;Masek et al 2015). In this genus, females do not complete metamorphosis, remaining in a larviform stage, whereas males complete their normal development (Bocak & Matsuda 2003). Interestingly, neoteny appears independently in several families within Elateoroidea (Bocakova et al 2007).…”

The complete mitogenome of the trilobite beetle, Platerodrilus sp. (Elateroidea: Lycidae)

The nucleotide sequence of the complete mitogenome of the trilobite beetle, Platerodrilus sp. was determined. This is the first complete mitogenome reported for the family Lycidae (Elateroidea: Coleoptera). The newly determined sequence is 16,394 bp long and shows a relatively high AT content (76.2%). The gene arrangement of the trilobite beetle mt genome is the same found in other related beetle mitogenomes. The reconstructed tree recovered Elateroidea as a strongly supported monophyletic group but could not resolve phylogenetic relationships among studied elateroid families, including Lycidae.ARTICLE HISTORY
