Endemic species of Christmas Island, Indian Ocean

“…We could find no documentation in GBIF or ALA for several other species described from Christmas Island by Waterhouse et al (1900), but consider them as valid and endemic (Table 2). Epliachna nativitatis (now Henosepilachna nativitatis) is recognised as a valid species restricted to Christmas Island by Jadwiszczak and Wegrzynowicz (2003); Paederus listeri is retained as a valid species by Frank (1988); Bradymerus seminitidus is retained as a valid species endemic to Christmas Island by Schawaller (2006); Amarygmus funebris is retained as a valid species endemic to Christmas Island by Bremer (2007); Opatrum dubium (now Gonocephalum dubium) is retained as a valid species endemic to Christmas Island by Iwan et al (2010). Demotina lateralis, Toxicum antilope, Sessinia andrewsi and Nyctobates carbonaria (as Promethis carbonaria) were recognised as valid species and collected by CSIRO Division of Entomology (1990), although a global review of Toxicum did not list antilope (Doyen et al 1989).…”

New Records of Three Non-Native Darkling Beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) Established in California and Nevada, USA

“…Gonocephalum Solier is a large genus of several hundred species worldwide (Iwan et al 2010). No members are native to the Americas, but some adventive specimens have been noted previously.…”

“…While this species has been established in California for at least 35 years, it has apparently not spread as aggressively as have some other exotic species. Its native distribution includes northwestern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and it has been introduced to Spain (Ferrer 2010;Iwan et al 2010).…”
