Cyclocephaline scarab beetles represent the second largest tribe of the subfamily Dynastinae, and the group includes the most speciose genus of dynastines, Cyclocephala. The period following publication of Sebő Endrődi’s The Dynastinae of the World has seen a huge increase in research interest on cyclocephalines, and much of this research has not been synthesized. The objective of this catalog and bibliography is to compile an exhaustive list of taxa in Cyclocephalini. This paper provides an updated foundation for understanding the taxonomy and classification of 14 genera and over 500 species in the tribe. It discusses the history of cataloging dynastine species, clarifies issues surrounding the neotype designations in Endrődi’s revision of Cyclocephalini, synthesizes all published distribution data for cyclocephaline species, and increases accessibility to the voluminous literature on the group by providing an easily searchable bibliography for each species. We propose the nomen novum Cyclocephala rogerpauli, new replacement name, for C. nigra Dechambre.

“…Different life stages have also been found to differ in susceptibility to EPNs. In particular, larvae have been found to be more susceptible than pupae (Theunis, 1998;De Carvalho Barbosa Negrisoli et al, 2013;Garcia-del-Pino et al, 2013;Malan et al, 2011). De Carvalho Barbosa Negrisoli et al (2013 found that mortality of A. kueniella larvae was higher than that of pupae.…”

Entomopathogenic nematode species perform differently under different environmental conditions; therefore, the authors investigated the biological and environmental characteristics that could optimize performance of Steinernema innovationi. The authors studied the effect of temperature on infectivity and reproduction, the foraging behavior and host range. Thermal activity was optimal between 22 and 25°C. Highest infective juvenile (IJ) yields in last instar Galleria mellonella were observed at 22°C (333,014 IJs/g) and 25°C (354,165 IJs/g). An average of 26% of the IJs infected G. mellonella larvae at depths of 15 cm within 24 hr. Steinernema innovationi IJs raised greater than 95% of their body off the substrate and moved in a circular pattern, but did not jump. The hosts, Acheta domesticus, Chilo partellus, and Plutella xylostella showed the least susceptibility. All other hosts, [Eldana saccharina, Sesamia calamistis, Tenebrio molitor, G. mellonella, Cydia pomonella] suffered 100% larval mortality. Pupal mortality ranged from 47 to 68%. An LC50 and LC70 of 3 and 31 IJs/larva, respectively, were calculated for Agrotis ipsilon. The results indicate that S. innovationi is adapted to moderate temperatures. Furthermore, to the author's knowledge this is the first report of a nematode (particularly from 'glaseri group') that shows cruiser-type behavior in movement, but also nictates.
