Antoine Joseph Jean Solier, a French naturalist, described 53 species of Staphylinidae of the Chilean fauna, among them three species in a new genus Mecorhopalus (M. ater, M. bipustulatus and M. elongatus). Today these species are regarded as Aleochara atra, A. solieri and A. mutare , respectively. The objective of this study is to provide an updated description and nomenclatural status of thes...

Abstract The first representative of the footspinners - Haploembia solieri (Rambur, 1842) (Insecta, Embioptera, Oligotomidae), is reported from Georgia for time. Notes on species distribution and ecology are also provided, along with a map collecting sites, photos live specimen, diagnostic drawings.

Population differentiation is a crucial step in the speciation process and is therefore a central subject in studies of microevolution. Assessing divergence and inferring its dynamics in space and time generally require a wide array of markers. Until now however, most studies of population structure are based on molecular markers and those concerning morphological traits are more scarce. In the...

The male karyotypes of 5 buprestid species belonging to 4 genera, 4 tribes and 3 subfamilies – Polycestinae, Chrysochroinae, Buprestinae from Armenia are described. In Acmaeodera flavolineata Laporte et Gory, 1835, Sphenoptera tamarisci beckeri Dohrn, 1866, Anthaxia olympica Kiesenwetter, 1880, A. amasina Daniel, 1903 and Chrysobothris affinis tetragramma Ménétriés, 1832 diploid chromosome numb...

The phylogeny of the hydrophilid genus Sternolophus Solier, 1834 was examined in this study using 60 morphological adult characters, eight of them continuous and 52 discrete. The cladistic analysis resulted in a single most parsimonious tree with two major subclades corresponding, respectively, to species previously assigned to the subgenera Sternolophus s. str. Solier and Neosternolophus Zaitz...

Chrysobothris requensis sp. nov. is described and illustrated from specimens collected in a seasonally dry forest locality of the Lambayeque region northwestern Peru. The new species similar to several with green spots on elytra which it can be distinguished by color body, shape, arrangement fasciae male genitalia. Comments its ecology distribution country are provided.
