New Records & Taxonomy Registry for the Nearctic Ground Beetles (Geadephaga)

Keywords: Caraboidea, Carabidae, carabid, Tiger Beetles, new species, North America, United States, Canada

This frequently-updated website is an interactive clearinghouse where users of BugGuide.net informally provide new information to supplement the geographic distributions, taxonomic classification, and scientific names published in the massive 2012 catalogue of Nearctic Geadephaga by Yves Bousquet (1) [YB2012]. The large beetle group designated "Geadephaga", commonly known as the "Ground Beetles", is the superfamily Caraboidea composed of the three families Trachypachidae, Rhysodidae, and Carabidae. The latter family is by far the largest one. Its members, informally named "carabids", account for 99.55 percent of the roughly 2700 known species in the Nearctic Caraboidea north of Mexico. It is this faunal region that concerns BugGuide and this post-2012 Caraboidea Registry/Forum. The family Carabidae includes several subfamilies of which Cicindelinae is represented by the popular "Tiger Beetles". See the comments below regarding the state of Tiger Beetle taxonomy.

Newly documented states, provinces, or territories are entered by their standard abbreviations after the alphabetically-listed species names below. In addition, geographic records that confirm the questionable ones enclosed in square brackets by Bousquet, will be annotated here as verified. Currently 16 species are newly reported to have one of these major range extensions: new to USA, new to North America, new to Western Hemisphere. Enigmatic specimens that might be either undescribed or new to the Nearctic north of Mexico are annotated unresolved.

In tracking the taxonomic literature, we will include Nearctic species (sp. n.) and subspecies (ssp. n.) that are new to science and report taxonomic changes that affect the species presented in the 2012 catalogue. The numerous recent nomenclatural changes that affect the Tiger Beetles in Bousquet (2012) are not yet incorporated at this registry. Over four dozen (50 in 2022) new species have been added to the Nearctic Caraboidea (Geadephaga) since Bousquet started the species count at 2678 in 2012. Also affecting the count are several cited species that have been either removed from synonymy or moved to synonymy.

I (=PWM) look forward to new geographic records (rec. n.) and taxonomic notices obtained from any of the following sources:

(1) A well-documented image on BugGuide, iNaturalist, or other website that links the imaged specimen to a new record;
(2) A non-imaged specimen that is reliably identified and held in a secure collection with mounted data & determination label. Please submit state/county/province, date, determiner, repository;
(3) A discovery in the current literature that provides a new record, a new species, or a taxonomic change;
(4) A new record discovered among the photographed specimens ("photo-vouchers") mailed to a carabid specialist for accurate physical determination;
(5) A comment by expert or non-expert that is either posted here or communicated via personal e-mail to PWM.

Please also alert us to additional specimens that would share a regional record already registered here. Rather than posting my feedback or questions on this page, I usually contact the submitter via the image source page or via personal e-mail.

Please bear in mind that geographic records are based on artificial political areas of widely varying dimensions. Most new records are not surprising as they simply extend the known range to a neighboring political region. In the United States, for example, a range extension that newly spans two or more states is quite unexpected. A specimen linked to a wide geographic extension could merely represent one "accidental" individual (possibly among a few others) that occurred one time in a small tenuous population. When the unexpected does occur, we naturally wonder about the possibility of human error ("status in dubio"). Error can creep in two ways. The more common way is that the species identification was incorrect ("nomen falsum"). The second way is that the wrong collection data was inadvertently attached to a correctly identified specimen in which case its suspected status becomes "locus falsus" or "inscriptio falsa". A more specific designation is "Patria falsa" when a different country is suspected. For example, I am aware of several instances in which authority Fritz Hieke had attached label "Patria falsa: Europa" to certain old Amara specimens in the Milwaukee Public Museum that bear doubtful data from North America. Scientific acceptance depends on our confidence in the source of new information, confidence in the people variously linked to it, and of course the reassurance that comes from actually seeing the specimen (even if just a photograph) and reading the associated collection data.

Please preserve the scientific importance of new geographic records by pin-mounting a colored paper label beneath the specimen that clearly specifies the new state or province record and the year of acknowledgement. A concise example using abbreviations is "WI rec. n. 2017". Useful added information might be data like "series of 6", "BugGuide 1070406".

Discussions on the taxonomic state of Nearctic Tiger Beetles.
Pre-2019 statements: Not yet reflected by this registry nor yet acknowledged by BugGuide.net are certain taxonomic revisions of Cicindelini that were proposed in the popular field guide A Field Guide to the Tiger Beetles of the United States and Canada, 2nd ed., 2015 by Pearson et al. Revisions therein were credited to comparative DNA analysis by Duran, DP & Gwiazdowski, RA (2015) who apparently reported their results in an unpublished (not peer reviewed) work entitled “Systematic revision of Nearctic Cicindelini (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae): Re-evaluating Rivalier’s taxonomy”. This state of unsupported taxonomy is discussed in a review of the 2nd edition by M. Jackson in The Coleopterists Bulletin 71(3): 530 - 531, 2017. July 15, 2019: See the news below from V. Belov stating that papers for fixing the problematical taxonomy have been submitted. September, 2019: A paper by Duran & Gough in Insecta Munda Sept 27, 2019 (0727): 1-12 clears the way for the proposed nomenclatural changes. See the developing thread below. NB: The new Tiger Beetle names that affect Bousquet (2012) are now successfully incorporated into BugGuide.net, but the changes are not yet listed in this registry. It is unresolved whether BugGuide will follow the family status of tiger beetles as advocated in a paper by Duran & Gough (2020). See ongoing discussions here.

how about...

likely that species but can't be sure, given the fact that several common European spp. within this size bracket, notably the widespread O. rufibarbis, look rather similar... plus there are scores of ±Mediterranean ones

Stenomorphus californicus rufipes confirmed for SC
See https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/62961506. The specimen was sent to me, and is a male which I confirmed as this species using Ball et. al's key.

It was collected from a spiderweb in a library, but was fresh enough to still be flexible, indicating it was living in SC and died in the library. Hopefully more specimens will show up from the state.

Anillinus cherokee - SC and GA
SC record mentioned in key on p.15 in Sokolov & Carlton 2010 (lowae-group revision), but not listed in Bousquet 2012
GA:

New Amblycheila

Anillinus elongatus in VA

This photo is of a female, as it's the most photogenic specimen I have, but I dissected males from the same collecting event and they match Sokolov's illustrations.

Dan Duran sent me a copy a couple of days ago, and told that papers fixing other taxonomic & nomenclatural problems involving the nearctic cicindelines have been submitted for publication

 
"Unifying Systematics & Taxonomy of Nearctic Tiger Beetles"
is reported in Insecta Mundi Sept 27, 2019 (0727): 1-12 by Duran & Gough. The paper is freely downloadable as a PDF here.
Can we expect additional papers by Dan Duran as V. Belov suggested above? BugGuide must do a few changes to comply with the current Tiger Beetle classification. See BugGuide's Taxonomy Proposals.

Additional recent papers of interest are:
Duran, D. P., D. P. Herrmann, S. J. Roman, R. A. Gwiazdowski, J. A. Drummond, G. R. Hood, and S. P. Egan. 2019. Cryptic diversity in the North American Dromochorus tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae): a congruence-based method for species discovery. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 186: 250–285.
See here.

B. cheyennense(?) Utah

Peter, I realize you have a specimen labelled from Utah already. I haven't been able to find anything that helps separate bifossulatum from cheyennense, so I'm asking for help as well as offering a potential locality for the species.

Lionepha erasa in Utah. Image posted from my account.

Can anyone explain to me how one shares images through comments?

 
2020 update: This is Lionepha probata (Casey, 1918).
See the registry listing above for more information.

 
The simplest way is BBCode
Without spaces, use the code [ thumb: XXXXX ] where XXXX is the number of the bugguide image. So for your Lionepha image, type [ thumb: 1639339 ] without spaces to get:

If you go to the "help" tab, click on "markup" and there are examples of helpful code useable on bugguide

 
Aha!
Thank you for your help.

Calleida punctulata Arizona.
Calleida punctulata Arizona. Several images on the guide. In my observation, specimens that key out to punctulata from Arizona look different than the specimens from Texas on the guide. I wonder if they'll turn out to be different species.
