“…According to Ewing and Cline (2005), S. geminata is commonly found in leaf litter and in decaying fruits and wood. The species probably plays a facultative necrophagous role in the carcasses, although it has not been observed feeding directly from it.…”

The species richness, abundance and seasonality of Coleoptera fauna associated with pig carcasses exposed in a Caatinga area were examined. Tray, pitfall and modified Shannon traps were settled together to collect these insects during two seasons (dry and rainy). 4,851 beetles were collected, belonging to 19 families and 88 species. Staphylinidae (2,184) and Histeridae (1,264) were the most abundant families and accounted for 71.1% of the specimens collected. Scarabaeidae (15)

“…North American descriptions of larvae of O. colon that predate the description of O. nearctica ( Hinton 1945;Böving and Rozen 1962;Díaz-Aranda et al 2018) were not used because they may involve unwitting misidentifications. (Hinton 1945;Shubeck et al 1977;Jelínek 1999;Kočárek 2003;Ewing and Cline 2005;Schlechter 2008;Saloña et al 2010;Lee et al 2015;Lyu et al 2016;Torres et al 2018), so it is less obvious how they were transported to Africa. Omosita nearctica was probably introduced to South Africa on stored products imported through a port or airport.…”

“…At least some sap beetles of the genus Omosita are relevant in forensic entomological and biosecurity contexts because they are occasional pests of stored products and can be abundant on carrion and corpses (Hinton 1945;Shubeck et al 1977;Jelínek 1999;Kočárek 2003;Ewing and Cline 2005;Schlechter 2008;Saloña et al 2010;Lee et al 2015;Lyu et al 2016;Torres et al 2018;Lee et al 2020). Several Omosita species have been translocated around the globe, e.g.…”

Sap beetles of the genus Omosita Erichson are stored-product pests that are also associated with carrion, potentially making them biosecurity risks and forensic tools. The discovery of a specimen of the Nearctic species Omosita nearctica Kirejtshuk in South Africa prompted an investigation a decade later to determine if this species had established itself in the country, which was confirmed by the collection of further breeding specimens that also facilitated the first description of mature larvae of O. nearctica. A new key to adults of all Omosita species is presented.

“…Carpophilus dimidiatus (Fabricius, 1792) and Carpophilus pilosellus Motschulsky are two sibling species that show a strong preference for attacking stored grain, dry fruits, Chinese herbal medicine, and many other stored-product commodities. They reduce the quality and quantity of stored products and create conditions for the growth of molds and fungi [5][6][7]. Carpophilus dimidiatus threatens the brewing and fermentation industry, and is distributed worldwide [8,9].…”

Carpophilus dimidiatus (Fabricius, 1792) and Carpophilus pilosellus Motschulsky are two sibling species and economically important storage pests worldwide. The first complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of both were sequenced using next-generation sequencing. The mt genomes of C. dimidiatus and C. pilosellus are circular, with total lengths of 15,717 bp and 15,686 bp, respectively. Gene order and content for both species are similar to what has been observed in ancestral insects and consist of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. Comparing the mt genome data of C. dimidiatus and C. pilosellus, they are similar in organization, arrangement patterns, GC contents, transfer RNA (tRNA) secondary structures, and codon usage patterns. Small differences were noted with regards to the nucleotide similarity of coding regions and the control region. This is the first publication of the complete mitochondrial genomes of two sibling species. The mt genome sequences can supplement the nuclear markers of the Carpophilus genus in research species identification, system evolution, and population genetic structure, and also will be valuable molecular marker for further genetic studies.
