“…Large populations have also been taken in the guano of insectivorous bats in caves in the southeastern United States. The next most productive sampling techniques were the use of flight-intercept traps in forests (Peck and Davies 1980) and nets mounted on a vehicle driven slowly along forest roads at dusk (Peck and Cook 1992). A few specimens have been taken by other methods, and these are indicated in the habitats section of individual species discussions.…”

This paper completes a review and revision of the tribe Anemadini in North America, covering the subtribe Eocatopina (new for North America), with the genus Neoeocatopsgen. nov. containing one species, and the subtribe Nemadina, with the genus Nemadus Thomson containing 12 species. Species are forest inhabitants feeding on carrion and other decaying materials, may occur in caves, or are myrmecophiles occupying the nests of formicine ants, mostly of the genera Formica L. and Camponotus Mayr. The following new synonyms are recognized: N. ellipticus Jeannel, 1936 = N. horni Hatch, 1933 and N. obliquus Fall, 1937 = N. triangulum Jeannel, 1936. Lectotypes are designated for Catops brachyderus LeConte, 1863, Catopspusio LeConte, 1859, and Choleva decipiens Horn, 1880. New species are Nemadus browni Peck and Cook, sp. nov., N. criddlei Peck and Cook, sp. nov., and N. falli Peck and Cook, sp. nov.

“…The seasonality and habitat preference of seven species in four habitats in southem Ontario were documented by Peck and Anderson (1985). The diversity and seasonalities of species in forests in New Hampshire and New Jersey were studied by Chandler and Peck (1992) and Shubeck et al (1977), respectively.…”

“…Most of the specimens seen during this study were taken at carrion or in carrion-baited pitfall traps. The next most productive sampling techniques were those that used flight intercept traps (FIT) in forests (Peck and Davies 1980) and nets mounted on a vehicle driven slowly along forest roads at dusk (Peck and Cook 1992). A few specimens have been taken by other methods, and these are indicated in the Habits section of the discussion of individual species.…”

In North America, the tribe Cholevini (Coleoptera: Leiodidae) is composed of the genera Prionochaeta Horn with 1 species, Catoptrichus Murray with 1 species, Sciodrepoides Hatch with 3 species, and Catops Paykull with 17 species. The species are mostly forest inhabitants that feed on carrion and other decaying materials, but some occur in tundra habitats, in caves, and in rodent burrows. Resurrected status is proposed for Sciodrepoides terminans (LeConte). The subspecies status of Sciodrepoides watsoni hornianus (Blanchard) is not supported. Lectotypes are designated for Catops terminans LeConte (= Sciodrepoides terminans (LeConte)), Choleva gratiosa Blanchard (= Catops gratiosus (Blanchard)), and Choleva egena Horn (= Catops egenus (Horn)). Neotypes are designated for Catops simplex Say and Catops basilaris Say. Catops luteipes Thomson is reported from North America for the first time. New species are Sciodrepoides latinotum Peck and Cook sp.nov., Catops paramericanus Peck and Cook sp.nov., Catops apterus Peck and Cook sp.nov., and Catops meridionalis Peck and Cook sp.nov. Four Catops species are Holarctic in distribution, whereas the others are restricted to North America, south to Mexico.

“…Rooftop or fender car nets have previously been used for targeted sampling of different types of flying insects, often with a focus on disease vectors (e.g. mosquitoes or black-flies (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15), or beetles (16)(17)(18). Importantly, car nets can sample insects flying from both public and private lands, when the roads themselves are public.…”

Detecting flying insects using mega-nets and meta-barcoding

Insect diversity and abundance are increasingly reported as being under pressure. However, monitoring insects across space and time is challenging, due to their vast taxonomic and functional diversity. This study demonstrates how nets mounted on rooftops of cars (car nets) and DNA metabarcoding can be applied to sample flying insect diversity across a large spatial scale within a limited time period.During June 2018, 365 car net samples were collected by 151 volunteers during two daily time intervals on 218 routes in Denmark. Insect bulk samples were processed with a DNA metabarcoding protocol to estimate taxonomic composition, and the results were compared to known flying insect diversity and occurrence data.We detected 15 out of 19 flying insect orders present in Denmark. Diptera. Psocoptera and Thysanoptera were overrepresented, while Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Trichoptera, Odonata, Neuroptera and Plecoptera were underrepresented, compared to Danish estimates. We detected 319 species not known for Denmark. Our results indicate that this method can assess the flying insect fauna to a wide extent, but may be, like other methods, biased towards certain insect orders. Furthermore, car net sampling and DNA metabarcoding can update species records for Denmark while preserving specimens for natural history collections.
