“…I have examined one undescribed species from Mexico that is almost identical externally to A. championi, but has the apex of the elytra notched. Etzler (2020) has used characters of the female genitalia to redefine the related genera Hemicrepidius Germar and Athous Eschscholtz in Mesoamerica. Female genitalia of A. championi were compared with Acanthathous pachyderoides Champion, A. campanulatus (Champion), A. rugipennis (Champion) and two undescribed species.…”

The type specimens of Elateridae described by Otto Schwarz from Mesoamerica are redescribed, reassessed and lectotypes designated. Acanthathous championi (Schwarz), Smiliceroides quadrilineatus (Schwarz), Anoplischiopsis divisus Schwarz, Anoplischius dorsalis Schwarz, Atractosomus nigerrimus Schwarz, and Anchastomorphus minutus Schwarz are retained in their current status. Monocrepidius restinctus Schwarz is reduced to synonymy under Monocrepidius rugicollis Champion. Aeolus mediofasciatus Schwarz is transferred to Monocrepidius Eschscholtz. Tomicephalus bilineatus Schwarz is transferred to Anchastus LeConte, renamed Anchastus lapsus Fuller, and reduced to synonymy under Anchastus seminiger Champion. Crepidius blepharipes Schwarz is restricted to the lectotype and retained in its current status; the other syntypes are unidentified species of Dipropus Germar. Anchastus championi Schwarz is reduced to synonymy under Anchastus tenuistriatus Champion; one syntype is an unidentified species of Dipropus Germar. New country records are documented for A. dorsalis, A. nigerrimus and A. minutus (Guatemala), and A. tenuistriatus (United States).

Wireworms, the larvae of click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae), are often the target of insecticide seed treatments commonly used in corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) production in North America. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge of the species, life history, and economic impact of wireworms present in these agroecosystems. An extensive survey of wireworms was conducted in corn and soybean fields in Ontario, Canada, from 2014 to 2017 to document species distribution and co-occurrence and to identify risk factors related to their abundance. In total, 4,332 specimens were collected from 1,245 different sampling records. The dominant species collected was Limonius agonus (Say) (Coleoptera: Elateridae) comprising 71.5% of the specimens. The remaining wireworm specimens were identified as Hypnoidus abbreviatus (Say), Melanotus similis (Kirby), M. cribulosus (LeConte), M. depressus (Melsheimer), M. communis (Gyllenhal), Agriotes mancus (Say), Aeolus mellillus (Say), and Hemicrepidius spp (Germar). Multiple wireworm species were found to commonly occur within the same field and the same sample. Path analysis was conducted to investigate whether site, soil, and agronomic characteristics influenced wireworm distribution and abundance. Several significant relationships were found between wireworm species and geographic factors, soil texture, and agronomic practices. The results of this survey provide critical information that can be used to improve integrated pest management of the major wireworm genera found in corn and soybean agroecosystems in Ontario.
