Contribution to know the fauna of ground beetles (Insecta, Coleoptera: Carabidae) of Wolin Island
Journal Title: Acta Biologica - Year 2015, Vol 22, Issue 846
Abstract
In the course of a one-year investigation (17.04–13.09 2007) 2,144 specimens of carabid beetles belonging to 86 species were collected. Of these, 30 species had not previously been recorded on Wolin Island, and Bembidion (Phyla) obtusum Audinet-Serville, 1821 is new to the Polish Baltic Sea coast. All faunistic data on the ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) were recorded on Wolin Island. A total of 145 species are listed in the table (Tab. 1). The data are based on our own new material (86 species) as well as published materials. Two of the carabid species noted are legally protected in Poland: Carabus convexus and C. glabratus. Some rare species noted are listed on the Red List of Declining or Endangered Animals in Poland: Bembidion obtusum – CR; Oodes helopioides and Masoreus wetterhallii – NT; Carabus convexus, Acupalpus exiguus and Amara quenseli silvicola – VU; and Broscus cephalotes – DD. The presence of some previously recorded species was not confirmed: 9 species known from 160 years ago (Amara montivaga, Agonum thoreyi, Asaphidion pallipes, Bembidion fumigatum, Bembidion stephensi, Carabus marginalis, Demetrias imperialis, Demetrias monostigma and Harpalus neglectus), 2 species from about 100 years ago (Bembidion transparens and Nebria livida), one species from 70 years ago (Amara municipalis) and one from 40 years ago (Bembidion assimile). The probability of occurrence of Ophonus ardosiacus, Ophonus rupicola, Harpalus honestus and Bembidion quadripustulatum is highly questionable, and the report of Ophonus stictus is incorrect.
