Hydrotrupes chinensis Nilsson, 2003 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae): new records, (re)description of adult and larva,and notes on its biology

Abstract

Hydrotrupes chinensis Nilsson, 2003 Nilsson, A.N. (2003), ‘Dytiscidae. XII. A New Species of Hydrotrupes Sharp from China, an Example of Pacific Intercontinental Disjunction (Coleoptera)’, in Water Beetles of China (Vol. 3), eds. M.A. Jäch and L. Ji, Vienna: Zoologische-Botanische, Gesellschaft, pp. 284–297. [Google Scholar] described from the holotype collected in Anhui Province, China, is newly recorded from three localities in Guangdong Province, ca. 750?km southwest from the type locality. The species seems to inhabit hygropetric habitats exclusively, with diurnal larvae and nocturnal adults hidden under stones or in cracks in rock during the day; when disturbed, the adults readily jumped off the rock surface. The adult is redescribed. The larvae are described and illustrated for the first time, with detailed morphometric and chaetotaxic analyses of the cephalic capsule, head appendages, legs, last abdominal segment, and urogomphi. Whereas similar morphologically to the Nearctic endemic Hydrotrupes palpalis Sharp, 1882 Sharp, D. (1882), ‘On Aquatic Carnivorous Coleoptera or Dytiscidae’, Scientific Transactions of the Royal Dublin Society, 2, 179–1003. [Google Scholar], the first instar larva of H. chinensis distinguishes by presence of six lamellae clypeales, two additional spine-like setae both on the last abdominal segment and urogomphomere 1, and the strongly developed egg bursters.     

Larvae of four species of the Hyphydrus lyratus species-group (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae: Hydroporinae)

Abstract  The third instars of the Australian species Hyphydrus lyratus Swartz, H. contiguus Wehncke, H. elegans (Montrouzier) and H. decemmaculatus Wehncke (Coleoptera: Adephaga: Dytiscidae) are described, including a chaetotaxic analysis of the cephalic capsule, head appendages, legs, last abdominal segment and urogomphi. Larvae of these species morphologically resemble other species of Hyphydrus Illiger for which the larvae have been described. A key to identify larvae of the Australian species of Hyphydrus is provided. Larvae of H. effeminatus Watts appear identical to those of H. decemmaculatus . A 822 bp fragment of the CO1 gene of larvae and adults of these species showed very slight differences, suggesting the possibility that, in Australia at least, H. decemmaculatus is polymorphic.

Hydaticus tuyuensis Trémouilles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae): Larval Morphology and Phylogenetic Relationships within Dytiscinae

The three larval instars of Hydaticus (Guignotites) tuyuensis Trémouilles are described and illustrated for the first time, emphasizing the morphometry and chaetotaxy. Second- and third-instar larvae of the known species of the subgenus Guignotites Brinck are characterized by a trilobate median process of prementum. All larval instars of H. tuyuensis, however, have a bilobate process, similar to that present in the known species of the subgenus Hydaticus Leach. This implies that a trilobate process cannot be used as a diagnostic character for Guignotites. Alternatively, Guignotites as presently defined may not represent a natural group. A cladistic analysis of 57 larval characters suggests that the genus Hydaticus shares a common origin with the clade composed of the genera Eretes Laporte and Thermonectus Dejean, based on the following synapomorphies: (i) abdominal segment VII almost completely sclerotized ventrally; the absence of (ii) additional ventroapical pores on the third antennomere, (iii) setae FE4 and FE6, (iv) additional setae on the femur and (v) additional setae on the tibia; and the presence of (vi) setae on the median process of prementum and (vii) spinulae on the second labial palpomere. A bilobate or trilobate median process of the prementum and the submedial insertion of seta AN3 distinguish Hydaticus from the remaining genera of Dytiscinae studied.     

Comparison of laboratory-reared eggs, embryos and larvae of five labrid fishes

Eggs, embryos and larvae of five labrid fishes, Thalassoma cupido, Pteragogus flagellifer, Pseudolabrus japonicus, Halichoeres tenuispinnis, and H. poecilopterus, reared in the laboratory are described and compared. The eggs were buoyant and spherical, with a single, spherical oil globule. P. japonicus eggs were unique in lacking melanophores on the oil globule. Eggs of the remaining species closely resembled each other, except in diameter. Incubation periods were short, ranging from ca. 19 h in H. poecilopterus to ca. 31 h in P. japonicus. The newly-hatched embryos also resembled each other, having a short tail and large oval or pear-shaped yolksac, the anterior tip of which extended beyond the snout. The single oil globule was located at the anterior tip of the yolk. As the yolksac diminished with growth, its anterior tip moved posteriorly. The yolk and oil globule were completely absorbed 3 or 4 days after hatching. In all free embryos and larvae except for Pteragogus flagellifer, needle-like projections appeared on both the dorsal and anal finfold margins 12 h to 1 day after hatching. Although morphology of free embryos and larvae of all five species was very similar, differences in pigmentation, location of the anus, and the needle-like projections were apparent. Artificial keys to the newly-hatched embryos and larvae are given.
