Liste commentée des Cleroidea (Coleoptera) de Suisse

Abstract

Une liste actualisée des espèces suisses appartenant à la superfamille des Cleroidea est présentée et brièvement commentée. La présence de 106 espèces de Biphyllidae (2 espèces), Byturidae (2), Cleridae (18), Melyridae (66), Phloiophilidae (1), Rhadalidae (8) et Trogossitidae (9) est attestée en Suisse sur la base de 18’989 occurrences issues de l’identification de spécimens de musées et de collections privées, ainsi que de la littérature. En parallèle, 37 espèces annoncées de Suisse par le passé sont exclues de la liste car insuffisamment documentées.

An updated checklist of the Cantharidae and Lycidae of Switzerland (Coleoptera, Elateroidea)

“…The goal of this study was to evaluate all existing information in order to present a complete list of the Swiss fauna. We therefore performed an exhaustive examination of the relevant material present in major Swiss museum collections, as was recently done for other beetle groups (see for exemple Chittaro and Sanchez 2019a, 2019b, Sanchez et al 2020. The collections in the following museums were studied (the contact person is reported in parentheses after each institution):…”

“…These three species are widespread and well-documented within Switzerland, so no faunistic update is needed for them. The Swiss fauna of Lampyridae, another close ly related elateroid family, was recently treated by Gurcel et al (2020), while the morphologically similar (but unrelated) families Melyridae and Rhadalidae (of superfamily Cleroidea) were updated by Chittaro and Sanchez (2019b). Although our understanding of the beetle fauna of Switzerland has greatly improved since the publication of Allenspach and Wittmer (1979), many groups are still in urgent need of attention.…”

Annotated checklist of Scolytinae and Platypodinae (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) of Switzerland

“…The goal of this study was to evaluate all existing information in order to write up a complete list of the Swiss fauna. We therefore performed an exhaustive examination of the relevant material present in major Swiss museum collections, as was recently done for other beetle groups (Chittaro and Blanc 2012;Monnerat et al 2015b;Breitenmoser et al 2016;Chittaro and Sanchez 2016, 2019a, 2019bCosandey et al 2017;Sanchez and Chittaro 2018). The collections in the following museums were studied (parentheses indicate the contact person): Moreover, the private collections of the following people were examined: Ulrich Bense (Mössingen, Germany), Georg Benz (Zürich, Switzerland), Marie-Christine and Yannick Chittaro (Conthey, Switzerland), Raymond Delarze (Aigle VD, Switzerland), Laurent Gognat (St-Ursanne JU, Switzerland), Roman Graf (Horw LU, Switzerland), Barbara Huber (Thusis GR, Switzerland), Laurent Juillerat (Chézard-St-Martin NE, Switzerland), Wilfried Löderbusch (Markdorf, Germany), Sandro Moser (Aarau AG, Switzerland) and Andreas Sanchez (Pontde-la-Morge VS, Switzerland).…”
