Tale gruppo sembra mostrare una certa affinità con alcune specie delle isole atlantichee con il gruppo di C. arcuatus, a distribuzione nella regione pontica. C. pluriseriatus viene considerato sottospecie di C. libanensis a causa della grande affinità e dell’allo-patria con questo. Vengono inoltre descritti i maschi, finora sconosciuti, di C. oertzeni, C. reflexus eC. acuticollis e vengono fornite le illustrazioni dell’edeago di tutte le specie. Infine viene data una tabelladi determinazione per le specie di questo gruppo. Studies on some Calathus Bonelli from the Mediterranean region (Coleoptera Carabidae).The Authors consider some species of Calathus from the Mediterranean region: C. libanensis s. 1., C.oertzeni, C. acuticollis, C. casalei, C. opacus, C. granatensis and C. reflexus. This group seems to showaffinities with some species from the Atlantic islands and with the group of C. arcuatus, from the ponticregion. C. pluriseriatus is considered as a subspecies of C. libanensis because of their great affinity andallopatry. The males of C. oertzeni, C. reflexus and C. acuticollis previously unknown are describedand their aedeagus figured. A key to all the species concludes the article.展开更多

New capture of Anophthalmus baratellii Sciaky and considerations on his systematic posi-tion (Coleoptera Carabidae Trechinae). The presence of Anophthahmus baratelli Sciaky in a new cavestation of the Julian Prealps (Eastern Friuli, Northern Italy) is here reported for the first time. Up tonow, this rare species was only known from the 《superficial underground environment》 (M.S.S.) ofM. Matajur. This species, previously considered strictly related to A. mariae Schatzm seems to be veryisolated inside its genus because of an important peculiarity of its ,(genital segment, recognized duringthe study of the new material.展开更多

From September 2009 to October 2010, adult ground beetles were sampled by pitfall traps in three grassy strips (2, 4, and 9 years old), their adjacent cropping areas, their field edges, and a control field (age 0) in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany. Carabid assemblages were similar among the fields, strips and edges. Grassy strips and edges had higher species richness and lower activity density than the control field. Activity density increased with increasing distance from the field edge in grassy strips and in the adjacent fields. In cropping areas, species richness andShannon’s H increased with increasing age of strips, whereas evenness and activity density decreased with increasing distance from the field edges. Compared to carnivorous and phytophagous carbides, omnivorous species were affected less by age of strips and distance from field margins. In the strips, species richness of the dominant species increased with age and decreased with distance, but the effect of strip age on species richness was still found in more than150 mfrom the margin. A positive effect of the age of grassy strips on species richness was found for cropping fields, grassy strips and field edges. Old grassy strips also exerted greater influence on the species richness and biodiversity of the adjacent arable fields than the younger strips.展开更多
