“…Within the Graptodytes group of genera (sensu Ribera et al, 2002), Iberoporus cermenius seems to have an isolated position, although still uncertain. Results presented here place it sister to Graptodytes plus Metaporus, but under some other combinations of taxa and outgroups it seems to be sister to Rhithrodytes (unpublished results).…”

The phylogenetic relationships and the geographical origin of 27 of the 34 species and of 3 of the 9 subspecies of Iberian endemic Dytiscidae are studied, based on species level phylogenies constructed with two mitochondrial gene fragments (16S rRNA and Cytochrome Oxidase I). All Iberian endemic species for which more than one specimen was included were monophyletic with the exception of the complex Deronectes aubei sanfilippoi Fery & Brancucci, 1997-D. delarouzei (Jac. Du Val, 1857 (Sharp, 1872) and Hydroporus normandi normandi Régimbart, 1903 do not form well characterised lineages, as measured with the mitochondrial markers used in this study.The Iberian endemic species of Dytiscidae are divided in three groups according to the type of vicariant origin: 1) within-Iberian species, when the sister species (or clade) of the Iberian endemic is also and Iberian endemic; 2) Iberian/European, when the sister occurs in Europe north of the Pyrenees; and 3) Iberian/North African, when the sister occurs in North Africa. Within-Iberian endemics are found to be on average older than Iberian/European and Iberian/North African species, they have more restricted distributions within the Iberian peninsula (they occur typically in only one of the main biogeographical regions), and tend to occur exclusively in running waters. The withinIberian species are best represented by the "Iberian" clade of the genus Deronectes, formed by six endemic species plus two species with wider distributions. Most species in this group originated in rapid succession in the Late Miocene-Early Pliocene boundary by repeated vicariant events in the three main mountain massifs in the Iberian peninsula: the Pyrenees, the Baetic ranges, and the Sistema Central plus mountain massifs of the NW. On the contrary, most of the Iberian/European species seem to be the recent (Pleistocene) vicariants of a species with a widespread distribution encompassing the Iberian peninsula, at present restricted to south and west of the Ebro valley. The results of these analyses suggest that the Iberian peninsula was an isolated refuge during the Quaternary glaciations, in where allopatric speciation was frequent among some lineages of Dytiscidae diving beetles.

“…The great diversity of swimming strategies has also brought into question the monophyly of the aquatic families, where morphological studies mostly support at least two, if not three (Beutel 1997), independent transitions to the aquatic medium. However, traditional taxonomy (Crowson 1981) and more recent molecular studies (Shull et al 2001;Ribera et al 2002) suggest the monophyly of all hydradephagan families and imply a single aquatic origin.…”

The six extant aquatic families of Hydradephaga (Coleoptera) known so far represent a diverse group of beetles morphologically highly modified for life in the water. We report the discovery of a new genus with two species from South Africa and China, which differ greatly from all extant families, but resemble the Jurassic-Cretaceous †Liadytidae (the dagger symbol indicates that the taxa are known only as fossils). Based on a combined phylogenetic analysis of molecular and morphological data we erect a new family, Aspidytidae, which is the sister group of Dytiscidae plus Hygrobiidae. We propose a new scenario for the evolution of swimming behaviour in adephagan beetles, in which the transition into the aquatic environment is followed by complex and repeated changes in lifestyles, including the secondary complete loss of swimming ability in Aspidytidae.

“…La mayor diversidad y riqueza total observadas en la quebrada Profundo, P1 (Tabla 3), puede atribuirse a la mayor cantidad de hábitats que presentaba dicha quebrada y a la presencia de una mayor cobertura vegetal, factores importantes para la distribución de los macroinvertebrados acuáticos. Al respecto, Cardenas, et al, (2007) sostienen que una buena protección de ribera mejora el hábitat, ya que contribuye a tener una mejor calidad de agua, una mayor integridad del cauce y un mejor hábitat físico, lo que incrementa la diversidad y la riqueza de insectos acuáticos bentónicos en las quebradas ( (Ribera, et al, 2002), por lo que su abundancia demuestra que los sistemas estudiados presentan un alto grado de conservación.…”

Córdoba-AragónGrupo de Limnología, Facultad de Ciencias Básicas, Universidad Tecnología del Chocó, Chocó, Colombia ResumenSe estudió la entomofauna acuática de cuatro quebradas de la cuenca del río San Juan en el departamento del Chocó (Colombia). Entre febrero y julio de 2007 se recolectaron 2.377 especímenes distribuidos en nueve órdenes, 35 familias y 52 géneros. El orden Ephemeroptera fue el más representativo en términos de abundancia (61,09 %) y de riqueza (11 géneros), seguido de Coleoptera (13,38 %), con 12 géneros. El índice de diversidad de ShannonWeaver, de 2,95 bits/ind, así como la riqueza total de géneros (52) encontrada en las quebradas, demuestran su gran diversidad, con diferencias significativas entre ellas, pero no en cuanto a los meses de muestreo. De acuerdo con el índice de Jaccard, basado en la presencia de diferentes géneros identificados, se observó que las quebradas Profundo y Colorado presentaron mucha similitud (0,65), mientras que el mayor valor de disimilitud lo presentó la quebrada San Francisco (0,48). Los parámetros físicos y químicos estaban dentro de los rangos normales y presentaron poca variación, lo que indica que las quebradas tienen buenas condiciones ecológicas para el establecimiento de una comunidad acuática diversa.Palabras clave: entomofauna acuática, San Juan, Chocó. Characterization of aquatic entomologic fauna in four streams of San Juan river (Chocó -Colombia) AbstractThe aquatic entomofauna of four streams of the San Juan river in the department of Chocó (Colombia) was studied. Between February and July 2007, 2,377 specimens belonging to nine orders, 35 families and 52 genera were collected. The order Ephemeroptera was the most representative in terms of abundance (61.09%) and biological richness (11 genera), followed by the order Coleoptera (13.38%). A Shannon-Weaver diversity index of 2.95 and the total number of genera found in the streams showed their high diversity; we found significant differences between them, but not between sampling months. According to the Jaccard index based on the presence of different identified genera, we observed that the Profundo and Colorado streams had high similarity (0.65), while the highest value of dissimilarity was found in the San Francisco stream (0.48). The physical and chemical parameters were within normal ranges and showed little variation, indicating that the streams have good ecological conditions for the establishment of a diverse aquatic community.
