The hypogean ground beetle genus Aspidaphaenops Uéno, 2006 is reviewed. Some new information of A. reflexus provided, including the male genital characteristics as well a locality. Two species are described and illustrated from southwestern Guizhou Province, southwest China: xiongda n. sp. (Guizhou: Anlong: Fengyan Dong), dudou Xingyi: Xiaozi Dong). A key to all also provided.
Four new species of the chordeumatidan millipede genus Nepalella Shear, 1979, family Megalotylidae, are described from caves in southern China: N. troglodytes sp. nov., lobata jinfoshan and wangi nov. Three them (except nov.) presumed troglobites. Additional locality records two cave congeners, caeca 1999 grandoides Golovatch, Geoffroy & Mauriès, 2006, also provided. DNA-barcoding based on COI mitochondrial gene is documented this for order Chordeumatida outside Europe first time....
Cavernicolous trechine beetles of the genus Tonkinaphaenops Deuve, 2013, known so far only from Vietnam, are reported for first time southern China, and new data also provided regarding this northern Vietnam. Two Chinese species, T. yinquanicus sp. nov. cave Yinquan Dong jingxicus Nianluo in Jingxi County, southwesternmost Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, described illustrated, together with descriptions two Vietnamese species: anthonyi Hang Dõi impunctatus Rắn Cao Bằng province. A key to...
Qianaphaenops (Sanwangius) rowselli Tian et Chen, n. subgen., sp. is described from the Sanwang Dong-Erwang Dong cave system, northeastern Wulong, southern Chongqing, southwestern China. Sanwangius markedly distinct by several important features subgenera (s. str.) Uéno, 2000 and Tiankengius Huang, 2018. Larval characteristics of this new species are also provided. This first report a Chongqing.
A new genus and two species of cavernicolous trechine beetles are reported from southern Guizhou Province, Southwest China: Miaotrechus mahua n. gen., sp. the cave Miaoting, Getuhe system, Ziyun Miao Buyi Zizhi Xian (Autonomous County), Anshun Shi; M. heweii Jingua Dong, danzhai County, Qiandongnan Dong Zizhizhou Prefecture). might be related to Guizhaphaenops Vigna Taglianti, 1997, but it is an Anophthalmus-like, whereas semi-aphaenopsian.
Two new species of cave-adapted ground beetles are described and illustrated from Sichuan Province, southwestern China: Jujiroa zhouchaoi sp. nov. the calcareous conglomerate cave Shenxian Dong in Mt. Zhaogong (Dujiangyan, Chengdu) Pterostichus (Huaius) hanwang limestone Hanwang (Chaotian, Guangyuan). A locality for deliciola Uéno Kishimoto, 2001 is given. Keys to genus Uéno, 1952 subgenus Huaius Tian Huang, 2019 (in et al. 2019) also provided.
Two new genera and three species of troglobitic trechine beetles are described illustrated from the eastern part Wuling Mountains: Xiangxius jiangi n. gen., sp. Guizhaphaenopsodes solidior limestone cave Tangle Dong (Jishou, western Hunan Province); Sinotroglodytes hefengensis Qizimei (Hefeng, southwestern Hubei Province). is a highly modified cave-adapted beetle with elongate body appendages, recognized by its peculiar elytral shape remarkable dorsal marginal umbilicate pores elytra. for...
Two highly modified new species of cave-adapted trechine beetles are described from Guizhou Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region: Sinaphaenops (Sinaphaenops) chengguangyuani n. sp. (Guizhou: Longli: cave Shuijing Dong), belonging to the banshanicus group genus Uéno & Wang, 1991; Giraffaphaenops brevicephalus (Guangxi: Leye: Dalongguan being third Deuve, 2002, with a shorter but broader head than its congeners. Keys identify provided respectively.
Ckacus youcha n. gen. & sp. is described and illustrated based on a single male discovered in the deep area of Luoshui Dong, vertical cave Anlong Xian, southwestern most Guizhou Province, Southwest China. This new genus seems related to Bathytrechus Uéno, 2005 from Leye northwestern Guangxi by its elongate body which wholly pubescent, tridentate right mandible well-striated elytra with 1st interval extremely narrowed at apical 1/3, but differs several important characters. In addition,...
Three new species of the genus Guiodytes Tian, 2013 are described from limestone caves Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, southern China: weii Huang & Faille sp. nov. and yueliangensis Tian Dapo Dong caves, respectively, in Huanjiang County, northernmost Guangxi; inexpectatus Zhou Zhuzhu cave Longzhou southwestern Guangxi. All six known endemic to Guangxi, ranging southwest northernmost. A modified key a distribution map for provided.
The ground beetle genus Hexachaetus Chaudoir, 1871 is re-defined and reviewed. Bearing six setae on ligula no more considered as a crucial characteristic for Hexachaetus. Members of share the following combination morphological features: body polish, smooth, impunctate, or less dilated at apex, bearing 4, 6, even 12 apically, prosternal process unbordered elytra distinctly obliquely truncated with apical inner angles very sharp in most species (except H. mulan n. sp.), interval 3 anterior...
Abstract The 15th UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) (COP15) will be held in Kunming, China October 2021. Historically, CBDs and other multilateral treaties have either alluded to or entirely overlooked the subterranean biome. A effort robustly examine, monitor, incorporate biome into future conservation targets enable CBD further improve ecological effectiveness of protected areas by including groundwater resources, ecosystem services, profoundly endemic subsurface biodiversity. To...
Animal life in caves has fascinated researchers and the public alike because of unusual sometimes bizarre morphological adaptations observed numerous troglobitic species. Despite their worldwide diversity, cave millipedes (Diplopoda) to a lifestyle have rarely been examined. In this study, characters were analyzed species belonging four different orders (Glomerida, Polydesmida, Chordeumatida, Spirostreptida) six families (Glomeridae, Paradoxosomatidae, Polydesmidae, Haplodesmidae,...
Abstract Feeding experiments using three strains of entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana , Metarhizium anisopliae and Isaria fumosorosea were conducted with newly moulted 3rd–5th instar Ocinara varians Walker larvae in the laboratory. The mortality immersed individually spore suspension (1 × 10 7 spores/mL) all was ≥ 80% except 5th treated M. which transformed into pupae, but did not result adult emergence. growth (total body mass), consumption, relative consumption rate rate, reduced...
KIF2A is a member of the kinesin-13 family and involved in cell mitosis spindle assembly. The abnormal expression dysfunction are associated with tumorigenesis progression certain human cancer types; however, little known about roles glioma. In present study, 35 freshly isolated glioma tissue samples was analyzed using reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) immunohistochemistry (IHC). association between clinicopathological parameters were assessed χ2 test....
Recent discoveries reveal that southern China’s karsts hold the most diverse and morphologically modified subterranean trechine beetles in world, albeit first troglobitic blind beetle was only reported early 1990’s. In total, 110 species belonging to 43 genera of cavernicolous trechines have hitherto been recorded from China, including following five new proposed below: Shiqianaphaenops Tian, gen. n., contain two species: majusculus (Uéno, 1999) (= Shenaphaenops Uéno, 1999, comb. n.), type...
Glenea cantor (F.) is a cerambycid species that attacks living trees of at least seven plant families in Asia, and has the potential to become an invasive pest. Here we investigated its reproductive biology laboratory provide vital information for development pest control measures preparation risk analysis. Both sexes required period maturation feeding before mating, with mean premating males (5.87 +/- 1.68 d) being significantly longer than females (4.59 2.34 d). This was synovigenic...
The specific diversity of Chinese cave fauna the ground beetle tribe Trechini is further enriched.
