Neue Nachweise von Trichoceble floralis (Olivier, 1790) aus Ost-Österreich (Coleoptera: Dasytidae)

Data of recent findings of the rare Rhadalinae beetle Trichoceble floralis (OLIVIER, 1790) from Vienna and Burgenland and a synopsis of other faunistic records from eastern Austria are discussed. Nearly all records from eastern Austria were made in mixed oak forests in the collin zone; only two were made in riverine forests. The general area of distribution (cf. HORION 1953) of this species is nearly the same asthe cold temperated climatic zone of Europe. A synopsis of published data of the biology of T. floralis is provided. The female and male terminalia of T. floralis are illustrated.

Description of the pupa and observations on the distribution, ecology, and life history of Quedius spelaeus spelaeus Horn

In culture, late-instar larvae were observed to excavate and remain in cavities excavated in dung, and to pupate in these cavities. The pupa is described for the first time andcompared with other pupae in the genus Quedius Stephens. The apparently disjunct distribution ofthe species in Nova Scotia is discussed and it is suggested that it may have colonized the provincefrom Atlantic glacial refugia.

non-cave environments. The taxonomic history of the genus is briefly recounted, and thebionomics of the species is discussed within the context of that of cave-inhabiting beetles. Itspresence in the Maritime Provinces in noted a region where caves are still in an active phaseof post-glacial reinvasion and re-colonization.

Observations on the Cave-Associated Beetles (Coleoptera) of Nova Scotia, Canada

The Coleoptera are characterized by low species diversity. A staphylinid Quedius spelaeus spelaeus, a predator, is the only regularly encountered beetle. Ten other terrestrial species registered from cave environments in the province are collected infrequently. They include three other rove-beetles: Brathinus nitidus, Gennadota canadensis and Atheta annexa. The latter two together with Catops gratiosus (Leiodidae) constitute a small group of cave-associated beetles found in decompositional situations. Quedius s. spelaeus and a small suite of other guanophiles live in accumulations of porcupine dung: Agolinus leopardus (Scarabaeidae), Corticaria serrata (Latrididae), and Acrotrichis castanea (Ptilidae). Two adventive weevils Otiorhynchus ligneus and Barypeithes pellucidus (Curculionidae) collected in shallow cave passages are seasonal transients; Dermestes lardarius (Dermestidae), recorded fromone cave, was probably an accidental (stray). Five of the terrestrial beetles are adventive Palaearctic species. Aquatic beetles arecollected infrequently. Four taxa have been recorded: Agabus larsoni (Dytiscidae) may be habitual in regional caves; another Agabus sp. (probably semivittatus), Dytiscus sp. (Dytiscidae), and Crenitis digesta (Hydrophilidae) are accidentals. The distribution and
ecology of recorded species are discussed, and attention is drawn to the association of beetles found in a Nova Scotia “ice cave”.
