Topic: Caridae


  
  FNZ45 - Nemonychidae, Belidae, Brentidae (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) - Fossils
The identity of these taxa, of such diverse geological ages, was based solely on the presence of one character of doubtful value, the enlargement of the first tarsal segment.
In the absence of other features in the fossil(s), there can be no justification in replacing, because of priority, the name of an extant group offering a full set of adult and larval attributes with one that happens to also have enlarged basal tarsal segments.
Apart from a relatively broad first tarsal segment, Caridae have in profile a dorsally pronounced convexity, a curved rostrum, distinctly postmed-ian antennae, an elongate antennal scape, and a prothorax that lacks a carinated lateral margin.

All families and the main subfamilies of Curculionoidea are represented: Nemonychidae (Rhinorhynchinae, Cimberidinae), Anthribidae (Anthribinae), Belidae (Belinae, Oxycoryninae), Attelabidae (Attelabinae, Rhynchitinae), Caridae (Carinae), Brentidae (Eurhynchinae, Cyladinae, Ithycerinae, Antliarhininae, Apioninae), and Curculionidae sensu lato.
Phylogenetic reconstruction was done by parsimony analysis of separate and combined molecular and morphological data matrices, and also by bayesian analysis of the molecular data; tree topology support was evaluated, and incongruence between molecular and morphological data sets was tested.
Within the clade Curculionidae sensu lato the basal positions are occupied by (mostly monocot-associated) taxa with the "primitive" type of male genitalia, followed by the Curculionidae sensu stricto, made up of groups with the "derived" type of male genitalia.

This second volume of colour plates features the remaining 328 plates of the series, or 2624 individual photographs to bring the total number of coloured illustrations of the series to 5036.
It includes further illustrations of the families Anthribidae, Caridae, Rhynchitidae, Attelabidae, Brentidae and Apionidae of Orthoceri and of the Erirhinidae of Heteromorphi, but the bulk of the plates deals with the remaining subfamilies of the Gonatoceri.
Two similar indices as in Volume V, but combined for both colour plate volumes, conclude Volume VI.
