the blister beetle genus meloe is a large , widespread group commonly referred to as oil beetles .

they are known as " oil beetles " because they release oily droplets of hemolymph from their joints when disturbed ; this contains cantharidin , a poisonous chemical causing blistering of the skin and painful swelling .

members of this genus are typically flightless , without functional wings , and shortened elytra .

as in other members of the family , they are hypermetamorphic , going through several larval stages , the first of which is typically a mobile triungulin that finds and attaches to a host in order to gain access to the host 's offspring .

in this genus , the host is a bee , and each species of meloe may attack only a single species or genus of bees ; while sometimes considered parasitoids , it appears that in general , the meloe larva consumes the bee larva along with its provisions , and can often survive on the provisions alone , thus they do not truly qualify ( see parasitoid for definition ) .

meloe

separating the sexes of the short - necked meloe brevicollis , rugged meloe rugosus and mediterranean oil beetles meloe mediterraneus requires examining the underside of the last segment of the abdomen . this is distinctly notched in males and rounded in females .
oil beetles can sometimes be difficult to identify particularly the black meloe proscarabaeus and violet oil beetles meloe violaceus . see buglife oil beetle guide and below are some extra notes and photographs .

it is fairly easy to tell the sexes of the _ black meloe proscarabaeus and violet oil beetles meloe violaceus apart as the males have a distinct kink in their antennae and the antennal segments are very broad at the kink . the females have slightly kinked antennae with all segments about the same width .
preferential expression of meloe cdna in melanoma cell lines measured by qpcr , and impact of meloe expression on specific ctl clone activation . ( a ) four melanoma , one breast cancer , two renal carcinoma , and one lung cancer cell lines were tested by qpcr for the expression of meloe . rplpo and β2 - microglobulin gene expression were used as internal controls . the relative expression of meloe was calculated after normalization on the efficiency of the pcr reaction and the mean expression of these two housekeeping genes , reported to its normalized expression in melanocytes . ( b ) tnf secretion by the m170 . 48 ctl clone in response to hla - a2 tumor cell lines nontransfected ( open bars ) or transfected with meloe ( hatched bars ) or meloe - 1 ( shaded bars ) expression plasmids . tumor cells were transiently transfected with 100 ng of each plasmid with a lipofectamine reagent kit . 10 4 ctls were added to 3 × 10 4 target cells , and the ctl clone reactivity was assessed by a tnf release assay . ( c ) meloe relative expression measured by qpcr in 16 human healthy tissues .
detection of meloe - 1 / a2–specific ctls in tils infused to relapse - free melanoma patients and analysis of their repertoire diversity . ( a ) hla - a2 til populations labeled with the a2 / meloe - 1 36 - 44 tetramer . ( top ) tils infused to relapse - free patients . ( bottom ) tils infused to patients who relapsed . tils were coincubated with meloe - 1 tetramer and anti - cd8 mab . values indicate the percentage of tetramer - positive cells among cd8 + tils . ( b ) repertoire diversity of multimer - sorted populations was evaluated by labeling with 25 anti - vβ mabs . insets illustrate the purity of each sorted til population , assessed by meloe - 1–specific tetramer labeling .

characterization of the cdna coding for the recognized antigen . ( a ) m170 . 48 tnf responses to cos - 7 cells ( e / t ratio = 1 : 3 ) transfected with the indicated plasmids . the t cell clone was added 2 d after the transfection , and the ctl clone reactivity was assessed by a tnf release assay . ( b ) comparison of the nucleotide sequences of meloe and bc008026 cdnas and the localization of this sequence on the hdac - 4 gene . the indicated nucleotides correspond to snps between the meloe sequence isolated from m134 and a498 tumor cell lines and the meloe sequence isolated from the m117 and sw480 cell lines , and the bc008026 cdna sequence .
rugged oil beetle meloe rugosus and mediterranean oil beetle meloe mediterraneus – are very similar in appearance , both have a rectangular shaped thorax which is wider than long , rough matt black upperparts , long straight antennae , up to 22 mm long ( rugosus ) and 36mm ( mediterraneus ) . the rugged oil beetle has a sulcus ( narrow slit ) running down the middle of the thorax this is lacking in the mediterranean oil beetle . the thorax is more densely punctured in the rugged oil beetle .
characterization of meloe - derived peptide recognized by the m170 . 48 t cell clone . ( a ) structure of meloe cdna . boxes illustrate orfs > 120 bp present along the meloe sequence , and black boxes correspond to orfs tested for recognition by the ctl clone . ( b ) m170 . 48 tnf responses to cos - 7 cells ( e / t ratio = 1 : 3 ) transfected with the indicated plasmids . the t cell clone was added 2 d after the transfection , and the ctl clone reactivity was assessed by a tnf release assay . ( c ) nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the orf 1 , 230–1 , 370 of meloe isolated from the m134 cdna library . the two candidate peptides are bolded . ( d ) cytotoxicity of the m170 . 48 ctl clone against peptide - pulsed t2 cells . target cells were 51 cr - labeled for 60 min and incubated for 30 min with a range of the indicated peptides . the m170 . 48 t cell clone was added ( e / t ratio = 10 : 1 ) , and chromium release was then measured after a 4 - h incubation period .
a cytotoxic t lymphocyte ( ctl ) clone was derived from a tumor - infiltrating lymphocyte ( til ) population infused to a melanoma patient who remained relapse free for 10 yr after this adoptive transfer . this clone recognized all melanoma cell lines tested and , to a lower extent , melanocytes , in the context of human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen a2 ( hla - a2 ) , but it did not recognize other tumor cell types . the gene coding for the antigen recognized by this clone was identified by the screening of a melanoma complementary dna expression library . this antigen is overexpressed in melanomas , compared with other cancer cell lines and healthy tissues , and was thus called melanoma - overexpressed antigen ( meloe ) . remarkably , the structure of meloe was unusual , with multiple short open reading frames ( orfs ) . the peptide recognized by the ctl clone was encoded by one of these orfs , called meloe - 1 . using a specific hla - a2 / peptide tetramer , we showed a correlation between the infusion of tils containing meloe - 1 - specific t cells and relapse prevention in hla - a2 patients . indeed , 5 out of 9 patients who did not relapse were infused with tils that contained meloe - 1 - specific t cells , whereas 0 out of the 21 patients who relapsed was infused with such til - containing lymphocytes . overall , our results suggest that this new antigen is involved in immunosurveillance and , thus , represents an attractive target for immunotherapy protocols of melanoma .
reactivity of meloe - 1 / a2–specific tils against hla - a2 tumor cell lines . ( a ) lysis of the m170 melanoma cell line ( closed circles ) and of the 1355 lung carcinoma cell line ( open circles ) by the m170 . 48 ctl clone and meloe - 1–specific til populations . 51 cr - labeled tumor cells were co - cultured with t cells at various e / t ratios . chromium release in the supernatants was measured after a 4 - h incubation period . ( b ) cytokine production by the m170 . 48 ctl clone and meloe - 1–specific til populations in response to m170 melanoma cells . effector and target cells were incubated at a 1 : 2 ratio in the presence of brefeldin a and stained with anti - tnf antibody ( open bars ) , anti– ifn - γ antibody ( hatched bars ) , or anti–il - 2 antibody ( closed bars ) , and 10 4 t cells were analyzed by flow cytometry .
the oil beetles are a family of beetles that share a fascinating life - cycle in which the larvae are parasites of certain bees or grasshoppers ( 2 ) . this species , meloe proscarabaeus is bluish black in colour with a long swollen abdomen ( 2 ) , which is particularly pronounced in females when they are producing eggs . females are usually much bigger than males ( 4 ) .

in some species , triungulins aggregate and use chemical signals to attract male bees to which they attach themselves . this allows transport ( and transfer ) to a female bee who carries them back to her nest ( saul - gershenz & millar 2006 ) .
first - instar larvae climb to the top of a plant as a group , clump together in the shape of a female solitary ground bee , exude a scent imitating the female bee pheromone . when a male bee comes and tries to mate with the clump of larvae , some of these clamp onto his hairs and eventually get to female bees when he mates for real . impregnated female bees fly off and build nests in burrows ; triungulins move to the new nests and feed on honey and pollen stocked by the bee for her own young . - - jim mcclarin ' s comment

detailing the physical features , habits , territorial reach and other identifying qualities of the american oil beetle .
plain and small in stature , the seemingly simple american oil beetle has a few noteworthy tricks up its sleeve .
american oil beetles are a type of blister beetle . when threatened or squeezed under pressure , they emit a chemical called cantharidin that creates blisters and irritates human skin . these wounds will heal , but they are painful . this chemical defense can ward off predators and give the beetle time to escape . american oil beetles have a soft , yet stout abdomen with a shell covering that looks like a series of overlapping plates . the insect can appear as a dull black or , in some cases , a shiny black or dark blue . the surface texture is slightly bumpy , not slick and smooth . antennae are visible on the head . these particular beetles do not fly and are slow movers . adults can be found gingerly walking around plants they eat , such as buttercups , and in grass . they are active all year , but more so in the spring , when they are more likely to be seen . the larvae are somewhat devious . one will sit on flowers , waiting for a bee to land . it will latch onto the bee for a free ride back to the hive . once there , the beetle larva feeds on the same food as the bee larvae . it will pupate safely inside and emerge in the spring .
antennae : beetles have a pair of antennae on the head used as sensors .
head : the head is home to the insect ' s eyes , antennae , and mandibles ( jaws ) .
thorax : holds the three pairs of legs as well as vital internal organs .
elytron : one of two wing cases on a beetle that protects its wings ( plural : elytra ) .
legs : beetles have three pairs of legs located at the thorax , numbering six legs in all .
an insect ' s reach is not limited by lines drawn on a map and therefore species may appear in areas , regions and / or states beyond those listed below as they are driven by environmental factors ( such as climate change ) , available food supplies and mating patterns . grayed - out selections below indicate that the subject in question has not been reported in that particular territory . u . s . states and canadian provinces / territories are clickable to their respective bug listings .
the map below showcases ( in red ) the states and territories of north america where the american oil beetle may be found ( but is not limited to ) . this sort of data can be useful in seeing concentrations of a particular species over the continent as well as revealing possible migratory patterns over a species ' given lifespan . some species are naturally confined by environment , weather , mating habits , food resources and the like while others see widespread expansion across most , or all , of north america .

oil beetles have fascinating life - cycles . the larvae are parasites of a number of species of ground - nesting solitary bee . towards the end of spring , female oil beetles dig burrows in the ground close to colonies of host bees , into which they lay around 1000 eggs . these eggs usually hatch the following year in order to coincide with the emergence of the bees . the oil beetle larvae ( known as tringulins ) are very active , and climb up onto flowers where they wait for a host bee . they attach themselves to the bee , and if they are lucky and attach to the right type of species they will be flown to the host’s burrow , where the tringulin oil beetle turns into a grub - like larva , and develops , feeding upon the pollen stores and eggs of the host . the larva pupates and the resulting adult beetle spends the winter inside the host’s burrow before emerging the following spring ( 4 ) .
only three of the nine oil beetle species native to britain remain , and the number of sites supporting these species has declined drastically . this beetle was once common ( 3 ) , but is now restricted to the west of britain ( 4 ) . it is also found in europe ( 2 ) .
you can view distribution information for this species at the national biodiversity network atlas .
in europe , the black oil beetle shows a preference for low - lying flat terrain ( 2 ) . in britain it is found on heaths , coastal cliffs and moors ( 1 ) .
the reasons for the decline of this species may reflect declines in host bee populations .
buglife , the invertebrate conservation trust , is currently running the oil beetle project , which aims to establish the current range of britain’s remaining oil beetles and to carry out research into their life - cycles and ecology in order to guide conservation actions targeted at these beetles ( 4 ) .
there may be further information about this species available via the national biodiversity network atlas .

abdomen in arthropods ( crustaceans , insects and arachnids ) the abdomen is the hind region of the body , which is usually segmented to a degree ( but not visibly in most spiders ) . in crustacea ( e . g . crabs ) some of the limbs attach to the abdomen ; in insects the limbs are attached to the thorax ( the part of the body nearest to the head ) and not the abdomen . in vertebrates the abdomen is the part of the body that contains the internal organs ( except the heart and lungs ) . larvae stage in an animal ' s lifecycle after it hatches from the egg . larvae are typically very different in appearance to adults ; they are able to feed and move around but usually are unable to reproduce . parasites organisms that derives food from , and live in or on , another living organism at the host’s expense . pupates pupation is the the process of forming a pupa , the stage in an insect ' s development when huge changes occur that reorganise the larval form into the adult form . in butterflies the pupa is also called a chrysalis .

after more than 2 years of preparations , the diatombase portal is now officially launched . . . .
last week - on may 30 and 31st – 8 thematic experts on talitridae came together for the first time during a lifewatch - worms sponsored workshop . the workshop took place at the hellenic centre for marine research in crete , where it was organized back - to - back with the 8th international sandy beaches symposium ( isbs ) . the group focused on identifying relevant traits for the talitridae , and adding this data through the amphipoda species database . . . .
on 23 april 2018 , a number of editors of the world register of introduced species ( wrims ) started a three day workshop in the flanders marine institute ( vliz ) . these three days were used to evaluate , complete and improve the content of this worms thematic register ( tsd ) . . . .
the 2nd worms early career researchers and 3rd worms achievement award were granted respectively to françois le coze and geoff read . congratulations ! . . .
in 2018 , to celebrate a decade of worms ' existence , it was decided to compile a list of our top marine species , both for 2017 and for the previous decade . . . .
the scleractinian corals are now accessible though their own list portal . this world list contains over 1 500 accepted names of extant species and is one of the most complete existing resources for scleractinian taxa . . .

after more than two centuries of naming and overnaming , the species - level systematics of cones is undergoing a reappraisal based , among others , on molecular characters , and this is leading to a more stable taxonomy . conversely , the supraspecific classification of the cone snails has in the last 20 years become more unstable than ever . a plethora of nominal ( sub ) genera reflect subtle differences in shell form and radular morphology , but these are obscuring phylogenetic relationships between terminal taxa . while toxinologists are longing for a predictive classification that can be used as a roadmap for bioprospecting ( olivera , 2006 ; puillandre & holford , 2010 ) , the two genus - level classifications of cones proposed in the last 25 years ( da motta , 1991 ; tucker & tenorio , 2009 , 2013 ) have remained ignored outside the world of cone - shell collectors .
recently published a phylogeny of the cone snails based on 330 species and sequences of three mitochondrial gene regions . in the present paper we utilized this molecular phylogeny as a foundation to establish a new genus - and subgenus - level classification of the conidae , with four genera (
) . we also tentatively allocate all cone snail species currently considered as valid in worms , but not represented in the molecular phylogeny , to genera and subgenera based on their morphological characters .
simplified version of the bayesian tree based on the concatenation of sequences of three mitochondrial gene regions ( coi , 16s , 12s ) and published by puillandre et al . ( 2014 : fig . 2 ) showing the proposed classification . genera and subgenera with multiple species are reduced to triangles , whose lengths are proportional to the branch lenghts . posterior probabilities ( > 0 . 95 ) are shown for each node . only ( sub ) genera with at least one sequenced representative are figured .
proposing a classification based on a phylogeny mainly consists of ( 1 ) identifying the groups that will be named ; ( 2 ) attributing available names and , if necessary , establishing new ones , for the groups identified in ( 1 ) ; and ( 3 ) ranking these names .
as far as possible , only well supported ( bootstrap probability > 90 % ; bayesian posterior probability > 0 . 95 ) clades ( and single - species lineages ) were linked to names . when several alternatives were possible ( e . g . one supported clade that includes two supported clades , both with available names attributable to them ) , other characters and properties , such as shell morphology , type of prey , bathymetric and / or geographical distribution , were considered in order to identify the most appropriate grouping to minimize within - group variability . overall , a conservative approach was adopted , to minimize the number of supraspecific taxa , both named and unnamed . in two cases ( pyruconus and cylinder ) we attributed a name to a group we recognized to be non - monophyletic ( although this non - monophyly is not supported ) , in order to avoid having to establish new names for many small clades . such polyphyletic , but morphologically consistent , genera may correspond to grades and in future each of the included clades may be shown to deserve its own name .
as far as possible , a genus - group name ( i . e . a genus or subgenus ) was applied based on the position of its type species in the tree . if the type species of a nominal genus or subgenus had not been sequenced , application of the name was determined by reference to the morphologically most similar species used in the molecular analysis . if more than one name was applicable for a clade , the valid name was determined by the rule of priority . in the classification below , od refers to the fixation of type species by original designation , sd by subsequent designation and m by monotypy ( as defined by iczn , 1999 : art . 68 , 69 , respectively ) .
all the 803 species of conidae listed as valid in worms ( 2014 ) were allocated to genera and subgenera , with two levels of confidence . those printed in bold font were placed in the classification based on the dna sequences of puillandre et al . ( 2014 ) . the others were classified based on their shell and / or radula characters , following tucker & tenorio ( 2013 ) and , for species not included or considered as synonyms by tucker & tenorio ( 2013 ) , following petuch ( 2013 ) or the advice of m . tenorio ( personal communication ) .
species sometimes referred to as ‘cone snails’ but allocated to artemidiconus ( conorbidae ; tucker & tenorio , 2009 ; bouchet et al . , 2011 ) , benthofascis ( conorbidae ; tucker & tenorio , 2009 ; bouchet et al . , 2011 ) , genota ( cryptoconidae in tucker & tenorio , 2009 ; or borsoniidae in bouchet et al . , 2011 ) and genotina ( cryptoconidae in tucker & tenorio , 2009 ; or mangeliidae in bouchet et al . , 2011 ) were excluded . within conorbidae , only benthofascis lozoueti has been sequenced and molecular analysis indicates that the family is separate from conidae ( puillandre et al . , 2011 ) . however , b . lozoueti is the only conorbid species that does not resorb the inner shell walls ( tucker , tenorio & stahlschmidt , 2011 ) . it thus cannot be excluded that the other conorbidae species—which resorb them—may in fact not be confamilial . likewise , as indicated above , molecular data place genota in the borsoniidae ( puillandre et al . , 2011 ) and this clade is not further discussed here . fossil taxa ( hemiconus cossmann , 1889 ; cryptoconus koenen , 1867 ; conorbis swainson , 1840 ; conilithes swainson , 1840 ; eoconus tucker & tenorio , 2009 and plagioconus tucker & tenorio , 2009 ) are not discussed either . consequently , only the conidae , conilithidae and taranteconidae ( sensu tucker & tenorio , 2009 ) are discussed below , i . e . the cone snails as defined by bouchet et al . ( 2011 ) .

remarks : conus californicus has always been considered a unique species within cone snails , because of its molecular ( including toxicological : biggs et al . , 2010 ; elliger et al . , 2011 ) and morphological singularities and also because of its diet , since it is able to prey indifferently on fish , molluscs and worms ( kohn , 1966 ) .
remarks : puillandre et al . ( 2014 ) did not sequence the type species of profundiconus ; their sequenced material was identified as p . aff . profundorum . however , tucker & tenorio ( 2009 , 2013 ) found profundiconus to be a morphologically well supported group and we are thus confident in applying this name to the clade containing p . aff . profundorum .

remarks : tucker & tenorio ( 2009 ) described two ‘body plans’ in their genus cylinder , citing conus textile and c . gloriamaris as examples of each group ; they may correspond to the two groups found in the molecular phylogeny . tucker & tenorio ( 2009 ) relied on their similar radulae and diets to maintain them in a single genus : we have followed them and place all the species in a single subgenus . among the sequenced species , c . ammiralis , c . canonicus and c . dalli cluster with the type species c . textile ; the other species constitute a separate clade .

conus is a genus of predatory sea snails , or cone snails , marine gastropod mollusks in the family conidae . [ 1 ] prior to 2009 , cone snail species had all traditionally been grouped into the single genus conus . however , conus is now more precisely defined , and there are several other accepted genera of cone snails . for a list of the currently accepted genera , see conidae .
for a list of the currently accepted species within the genus conus , based on the information in the world register of marine species ( worms ) list , see : list of conus species .
species in the genus conus sensu stricto can be found in the tropical and subtropical seas of the world , at depths ranging from the sublittoral to 1 , 000 m . they are very variable in some of their characters , such as the tuberculation of the spire and body whorl , striae , colors and the pattern of coloring . many fossil species have been described ; they are extensively distributed , and first appear in cretaceous strata .
the thick shell of species in the genus conus sensu stricto , is obconic , with the whorls enrolled upon themselves . the spire is short , smooth or tuberculated . the narrow aperture is elongated with parallel margins parallel and is truncated at the base . the operculum is very small relative to the size of the shell . it is corneous , narrowly elongated , with an apical nucleus , and the impression of the muscular attachment varies from one - half to two - thirds of the inner surface . the outer lip shows a slight sutural sinus . [ 2 ]
as this list shows , many genera that were formerly recognized within the family conidae , have become subgenera of conus , and they can also be represented by that subgeneric name as an
alternate representation
