Cervonema

description: Genus Cervonema Wieser, 1954
Diagnosis (modified from Chen & Vincx (2000))
Sabatieriinae. Body cuticle striated, without punctations; cervical region elongated or short. Six external labial sensillae setiform, usually almost equal in length to four cephalic setae. Amphideal fovea with 4-8 turns. Buccal cavity small, without teeth. Spicules simple, gubernaculum small or absent, minute precloacal supplements present or absent.
Type species
Cervonema allometricum Wieser, 1954
Remarks
Interspecific variation in the morphological characters of Cervonema species is relatively limited, and species within this genus should be identified using as many characters as possible (e.g., Barnes et al. 2012). The following characters, however, are particularly useful in species identification: relative length of outer labial setae and cephalic setae, shape and position of amphids, shape and size of spicules, presence/ absence and shape of gubernaculum, and tail length. Other traits, which have not always been included in earlier species descriptions, include presence/absence of jointed outer labial setae and presence /absence of sperm dimorphism. Pre-cloacal supplements are often difficult to observe using light microscopy and should not be used in isolation for defining species.

description: Subfamily Dorylaimopsinae De Coninck, 1965
Diagnosis (modified from Jensen (1979))
Cuticle usually differentiated laterally. Cephalic sense organs in three distinctly separated crowns. Buccal cavity usually strongly cuticularised; anterior portion shallow, sometimes with small pointed projections at border with vestibulum; posterior portion dilated, cylindrical or conical, usually with strongly cuticularised walls and three thornlike projections (teeth) at the border between the two portions. Spicules sometimes differentiated proximally, medially or distally. Gubernacular apophyses usually directed caudally, occasionally dorsocaudally.
Type genus
Dorylaimopsis Ditlevsen, 1918
Remarks
The genus Dorylaimopsis is similar in many respects to the genus Hopperia, but can be distinguished from the latter by the presence of longitudinal rows of dots as opposed to larger, irregularly-distributed dots in the lateral fields (sometimes arranged in transverse rows) in Hopperia. There are two exceptions: (1) some specimens of H. communis Gagarin & Thanh, 2006 have irregularly distributed dots in the lateral fields, and (2) D. metatypica Chitwood, 1936 is characterised by irregularly-spaced dots instead of longitudial rows. The two genera also tend to differ in the shape of the spicules: arcuate in Hopperia, whilst in Dorylaimopsis spicules may be arcuate (D. coomansi Muthumbi et al., 1997), jointed (D. perfecta Cobb, 1920), or with lateral projections (D. punctata Ditlevsen, 1918). In addition, species of the genus Dorylaimopsis are characterised by conico-cylindrical tail with (usually) swollen tip, whilst tail shape in Hopperia can be conico-cylindrical with swollen (H. americana Pastor de Ward, 1984), filiform (H. massiliensis Vitiello, 1969), or pointed tip (H. australis Jensen, 1992).

Canthon

description: Canthon Hoffmannsegg
The genus Canthon includes over 200 species restricted to the New World, most of which inhabit tropical South and Middle America. The United States is home to 18 species, of which 16 occur in Texas. Canthon species are the “tumblebugs” universally familiar to naturalists, ranchers, farmers and others who have observed their remarkable habit or fashioning and rolling a ball of dung across the ground and ultimately burying it at some distance from the source. The Big Bend fauna includes four species, all widespread and closely associated with livestock and other grazing mammals, where they can be observed in large numbers jostling for position at a fresh dung pad (Fig. 3). All are dark colored, with evenly rounded bodies lacking any horns or other projections, and long, slender middle and hind legs. While they superficially closely resemble each other, the sexes can be distinguished by a combination of two external attributes: in the male, the protibial spur is bifurcate (usually asymmetrically so) and the last abdominal sternum is emarginate medially to receive the apex of the pygidium (Fig. 27); in the female, the protibial spur is acute (rounded in worn individuals) and the last abdominal sternum is not obviously emarginated medially (Fig. 28). The four Big Bend Canthon species are easily separated by the following key.
1. Clypeus bidentate medially (Fig. 26, 29). Larger beetles, length 10–20 mm .................................................................. [Subgenus Canthon s. str.] 2
— Clypeus quadridentate, middle two teeth larger than outer ones (Fig. 33–34). Small beetles, length ≤ 8 mm ............................................ [Subgenus Boreocanthon] 3
2. Black, only rarely with hint of blue reflections (Fig. 29–30). Propleuron divided by sharp, transverse carina extending from lateral margin to coxa (Fig. 31, arrow).............................................................. Canthon (C.) blumei Halffter and Halffter
— Near black but almost always with blue reflections under strong light (Fig. 26). Propleuron not divided by a carina, smooth and continuous (Fig. 32)..... Canthon (C.) imitator Brown
3. Pronotum punctate. Smaller, length 3–5 mm ............. Canthon (B.) mixtus Robinson — Pronotum granulate. Larger, length 5–8 mm ........... Canthon (B.) praticola LeConte

Phanaeus

description: Phanaeus MacLeay
The genus Phanaeus embraces about 55 species distributed from the United States southward through Mexico and Central America into all but the southern cone of South America; of these, the 35 or so species included in the subgenus Phanaeus comprise a phyletic group virtually confined to North and Central America (Edmonds 1994; Edmonds and Zidek 2012). The United States is home to six species, four of which reside in Texas, one in the Big Bend. The nesting behavior of Phanaeus is described by Halffter and Matthews (1966) and Halffter and Edmonds (1982). It involves the elaborate subterranean construction of a pear-shaped brood ball consisting of a spherical core of larval food (usually dung) encased in a thick casement of compressed soil. The large majority of the members of the genus are diurnal coprophages; many are quite common in pasture ecosystems.

Copris

description: Copris Müller
The genus Copris occurs world-wide, with most of its 225 or so species occurring in Africa and Asia. Tropical Africa alone is home to about 100 species (Cambefort and Nguyen-Phung 1996). They are absent from Australia and all but the northwestern corner of South America. McCleve and Kohlmann (2005) reported 32 species (some of which include recognized subspecies) in the Western Hemisphere. Of these, only one (C. incertus Say) reaches South America, nine inhabit the United States, while the remaining occur in Mexico and Central America. Four species (C. arizonensis Schaeffer, C. remotus LeConte, C. lecontei Matthews and C. macclevei Warner) are shared between Mexico and the United States. The likely closest relative of C. arizonensis is C. warneri McCleve and Kohlmann, a Mexican species from the mountains of Chihuahua and Sonora likely also associated with Neotoma (McCleve and Kohlmann 2005). The genus in the Western Hemisphere was revised by Matthews (1961).
The nesting behavior of the genus is described by Halffter and Matthews (1966) and Halffter and Edmonds (1982); it is unusual among dung beetles in that it exhibits active parental care of the brood. Most Copris species for which habits are known are nocturnal and exploit the excrement of surface mammals. Four Mexico–US species have known relationships with nesting vertebrates: C. arizonensis and C. macclevei with wood rats [Neotoma], C. megasoma with gophers [Thomomys] and C. gopheri with the gopher tortoise [Gopherus polyphemus Daudin]. In these cases, the adults utilize the feces of their vertebrate host for feeding and nesting in the soil beneath nest chambers and tunnels; only rarely are they attracted to feces-baited pitfall traps.

Fig. 64–69
Diagnosis. Black, surface lustrous, sides of body more-or-less parallel. Length 13–22 mm. Male (Fig. 64–66) – Head of large individuals bearing posteriorly curved horn, tip of which approaches bifurcated median process of pronotum; flanks of pronotum each with large, acute, forward-directed, blade-like process separated from apically bifurcated median process by broad, declivitous concavity (in smaller individuals horn and processes progressively attenuated, Fig. 65). Female Fig. 67–69) – Head with short, erect horn, apex widened, scoop-like; pronotum convex except for pair of blunt tubercles, one on each side near anterior angle and separated by thick transverse ridge. Matthews (1961) provides a full re-description of this species.

Collection method(s). a) UV light trap; b) *direct capture beneath nests of Neotoma.
Surface activity. Nocturnal.
Habitat. Montane, juniper-pinyon woodlands and arroyos in association with the wood rat, Neotoma albigula (and possibly also N. mexicana Baird).
Comments. This is by far the rarest dung beetle in the Big Bend. All examined specimens from the region were collected at lights. Copris arizonensis is also known from various locations in the mountains of southeastern Arizona and adjacent areas of southwestern New Mexico and northern Chihuahua, Mexico [Matthews 1961; McCleve and Kohlmann 2005; Warner 1990].) Figure 64 depicts a specimen from southeastern Arizona (Dragoon Mts., Cochise Co.) exhibiting maximum expression of male armament, which I have not observed in Big Bend specimens (Fig. 65). The occurrence of C. arizonensis in scattered higher mountainous areas of northern Chihuahua and the desert southwest is doubtless the result of shrinking and vertical isolation of suitable, high-elevation habitat during post-Pleistocene desertification of the region.

Collection method(s). a) baited pitfall trap (human feces); b) direct capture (cow dung; horse dung).
Surface activity. Diurnal.
Habitat. Generally distributed throughout the region in all habitats, although more common in open pasturelands in association with livestock.
Comments. This species spends its life in a dung pad and, because it is often dirtied by adhered fragments of dried dung and has the habit of feigning death (thanatosis) when disturbed, it is splendidly camouflaged. It is common in the Big Bend, but I have never observed population levels to even closely approximate those of D. gazella. The efficacy of the activities by E. intermedius in the control of nematodes is discussed by Martínez et al. (2018).

Quadrastichus

description: Genus Quadrastichus
Quadrastichus was described by Girault (1913[167]), and synonymised with Aprostocetus by Bouček (1988). It was subsequently removed from synonymy by Graham & La Salle (1991), and given revised status as a senior synonym of Cecidotetrastichus Kostjukov. Generic keys which would allow identification to Quadrastichus are provided by Graham (1987 as Cecidotetrastichus; 1991), La Salle (1994), and Schauff et al. (1997). A complete synonymy list for Quadrastichus is given by Graham (1991).
Many species of Quadrastichus are associated with galls, usually as endoparasitoids of Diptera Cecidomyiidae and Hymenoptera Cynipidae, and one European species Q. sajoi (Szelényi) has larvae which are predatory on eriophyid mites within galls (Graham 1991; La Salle 1994; Noyes 2003). One species has recently been recorded as an invasive pest which induces galls on coral trees (Erythrina spp.: Fabaceae) (Kim et al. 2004).
In addition to being associated with galls, species of Quadrastichus have varied biologies, and other hosts include Coleoptera Curculionidae and Buprestidae (Graham 1991; La Salle 1994; Noyes 2003), and several Asian species are parasitoids of leafmining Agromyzidae (Reina & La Salle 2003, 2004).
Although at this time, there are only two Australian species recognized in the genus Quadrastichus (nigrinotatus Girault, mendeli sp.n.), results from surveys indicate that there may be many more species in this genus associated with galls on Eucalyptus.

Tetrastichodes kochi Girault 1935 [445]: 4. Unnecessary substitute name. Girault (1935) transferred E. variegatus to Tetrastichodes, and supplied the replacement name T. kochi as variegatus was preoccupied. Although not specifically stated, he could only have thought that the homonymy was caused due to his considering that S. varigatus properly belonged in Tetrastichodes (see Dahms, 1986: 624, 625-6 under Epomphaloides variegatum and Selitrichodes varigatus). As varigatus and variegatus must be considered as distinct names which do not compete for homonomy, kochi becomes an unnecessary substitute name.

Diagnosis. The genus Leptusa can be recognized by the following combination of characters: body more or less convex, parallel-sided, pubescent; microsculpture present; hind wings often absent; eye size highly variable but usually small; antennae with 11 antennomeres, thickened toward apex; mandible short, right mandible with internal tooth; distal lobe of galea membranous and pubescent; maxillary palpomere 1 smallest, 2 moderately long, 3 largest, 4 subuliform; ligula narrow and long, not bifid, rounded apically; labial palpi with two apparent articles due to fusion of articles 1 – 2; pronotum usually widest at apical third or anterior half; mesocoxae narrowly separated; mesoventral process longer than metaventral process (approximately 2/3 length of mesocoxae); legs usually short, tarsal formula 4-4-5, first metatarsomere as long as following two articles or slightly longer. Abdominal tergites III – VI with setigerous punctures (Pace 1989, Klimaszewski et al. 2004).
Remarks. All species of Leptusa collected in GSMNP have the following combination of characters: gular sutures widely separated, approximately 1/5 width of head; each side of ventral surface of head with carinae (fading before attaining gular suture or attaining gular suture); labrum bearing 3 pairs of short setae along anterior and lateral margin (Figs. 2 b – 11b); median area of labium distinctly narrow or lateral areas meeting at middle, and a pair of distal setae present in a longitudinal row; mesoventrite carinate or not (if carinate, then not exceeding 1/2 length of mesoventrite). Abdominal sternites VII of males possess many pores occupying anywhere from anterior one-tenth to anterior half.

Release and recovery of S. kryceri and Q. mendeli in E. camaldulensis stands
Adult wasps of the two species that had been collected from the emergence boxes during 2–3 days were allowed to feed on honey and water solution, and were released on the next day in three sites planted with E. camaldulensis: Bet Dagan, Segula (Coastal Plain) and Nir David (Bet Shean Valley). Information about the release number and the sample size for the recovery is presented in Table 3.
* From each gall 3– 12 L. invasa may emerge
The percentages of parasitism inflicted by the two studied parasitoids, as related to the galling stage, are presented in Tables 1, 2. These percentages are relatively high (52 and 73% for S. kryceri and Q. mendeli respectively), considering the fact that the 10 female L. invasa and the two female wasps were allowed to oviposit for 24 h. In our tests females of S. kryceri and Q. mendeli successfully parasitized approximately 2.2 and 2.5 gall units per day, respectively.
A total of about 210 S. kryceri adults (~60% females), and about 670 Q. mendeli adults (all females), were liberated in three sites in the Coastal Plain and the Bet Shean Valley (Table 4). The first parasitoids were recovered 4 months after release. Galling material was sampled near the release spots in October 2007, and totals of 99 individuals of S. kryceri and 36 individuals of Q. mendeli were recovered from all three sites, suggesting that both species were acclimatized in Israel.
