New Anomala Samouelle, 1819 from South-East Asia (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae)

Description of a new species of Anomala Samouelle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) from Northern Territory, Australia.

A new species of Anomala Samouelle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) is described from the Northern Territory of Australia. The new species is diagnosed by the single tooth along the external margin of protibia, medially interrupted marginal bead on pronotal base and the clypeus weakly reflexed anteriorly. The illustrated diagnoses of the remaining Australian species and the key to their id...

A New Species of Pelidnota (coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) from Panama

Redescription of Anomala eucoma Bates, 1888 and a description of three new species from Costa Rica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae).

Anomala eucoma Bates, 1888 is redescribed and a lectotype from Guatemala is designated. Three new species from Costa Rica, A. flavacoma new species, A. megaparamera new species, and A. pseudoeucoma new species, are described, and a distribution map is given. The internal sac (endophallus) of the species covered is illustrated, and its use in separating closely related species in this region is ...

Correction: Chemosensory Gene Families in Adult Antennae of Anomala corpulenta Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae)

There is an error in the final sentence of the GRs sub-subsection of the Receptor encoding genes families subsection within the Results section. The value DmelGR63a should be DmelGR21a. The correct sentence is as follows: AcorGR3 represented an ortholog to TcasGR1, DponGR1 and DmelGR63a. AcorGR4 was the orthologous receptor of TcasGR3, ItypGR3, DponGR3 and DmelGR21a (S4 Fig). Additionally, in T...

Chemosensory Gene Families in Adult Antennae of Anomala corpulenta Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae)

BACKGROUND The metallic green beetle, Anomala corpulenta (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae), is a destructive pest in agriculture and horticulture throughout Asia, including China. Olfaction plays a crucial role in the survival and reproduction of A. corpulenta. As a non-model species, A. corpulenta is poorly understood, and information regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying olfaction...
