A remarkable new species group of green seed beetles from genus Amblycerus Thunberg (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Bruchinae), with description of a new Brazilian species.

ABSTRACT:

Representatives of the subfamily bruchinae (coleoptera

Chrysomelidae) are usually small and inconspicuous, with only a few species drawing the attention. Here we deal with several unusually colored species of Amblycerus Thunberg, 1815, one of the two most diverse bruchine genera in the Western hemisphere. We define the virens group that consists of five species whose bodies are covered with a green vestiture, including one new for science, Amblycerus medialis Ribeiro-Costa, Vieira & Manfio, sp. n. (Type locality: Brazil: Pará, Rondônia). This study also provides redescriptions, diagnoses, comparative notes, illustrations, geographic distribution records and a key to the species in this group.

Types of species of Apionidae (Coleoptera) described by Carl Peter Thunberg (1743-1828) with description of a new genus.

Project description:The type specimens of species of Apionidae described by Carl Peter Thunberg are reviewed and lecto- and paralectotypes are designated for Apion craccae Thunberg, 1813, Apion limbatum Thunberg, 1813, Apion punctigerum Thunberg, 1815 and Apion astragali Thunberg, 1815. A new genus Thunbergapion (type species Apion limbatum Thunberg, 1813) is described, figured and placed in the tribe Aplemonini Kissinger, 1968. The new combination Thunbergapion limbatum (Thunberg, 1813) is proposed. A key to the known South African genera of the tribe is given. The following new synonymies are established: Oxystoma craccae (Linnaeus, 1767) = Apion craccae Thunberg, 1813 syn. n., Ischnopterapion (Ischnopterapion) loti (Kirby, 1808) = Apion punctigerum Thunberg, 1815, syn. n., and Pseudoprotapion astragali (Paykull, 1800) = Apion astragali Thunberg, 1815, syn. n.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Caryopemon giganteus</i> Pic (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae).

Project description:We sequenced, assembled, and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of the seed beetle Caryopemon giganteus, which represents the first report in the tribe Caryopemini from the subfamily Bruchinae of Chrysomelidae. The circular mitochondrial genome of the species contains 15,727 bases, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a non-coding region. The GC content of the genome is 25.3%, which is higher than any other reported mitochondrial genomes within Bruchinae. The 16S ribosomal RNA gene and the 12S ribosomal RNA gene are 1284 and 835 bp in length, respectively. 12 PCGs started with the typical ATN codon, except for ND1 initiated with TTG. Five PCGs have the typical stop codon of TAA or TGA, while the remainder PCGs are terminated with incomplete stop codons (TA or T). The phylogenetic analysis based on a combination of 13 genes of the mitochondrial genomes of six species of Bruchinae and 23 species from other 10 subfamilies of Chrysomelidae recovered a generally well resolved and strongly supported tree topology, which shows that C. giganteus has the basalmost position in Bruchinae.

Moss-inhabiting flea beetles in the Philippines (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Alticinae).

Project description:The Philippine islands are one of the key biodiversity hotspots in the Indo-Pacific area. Knowledge of moss-inhabiting flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Alticinae), a diverse and ecologically and morphologically enigmatic group in the Philippines is described. Six species from the Philippines are recorded, belonging to three genera: Benedictus luzonicus Sprecher-Uebersax et al., 2009 (recorded from the Philippines previously), Ivalia antennata sp. nov., I. caligulata sp. nov. and I. postfasciata (Chen, 1934), comb. nov. (transferred from Chabria Jacoby, 1887), Cangshanaltica mindanaoensis sp. nov., and C. luzonica sp. nov. Cox1 barcode sequences of Ivalia antennata and Cangshanaltica mindanaoensis are presented. Biogeography and diversity of moss-inhabiting flea beetles in the Philippines are discussed.
