Abstract

Galerucinaes. str. is a rich group of leaf beetles. A new, up-to date checklist of Galerucinae genera in the world is provided, including the number of valid species of each genus. Genera and species were counted in literature published before the end of 2016. In summary, 7145 species (7132 recent, 13 fossils) and 192 subspecies from 543 genera (542 recent, 1 fossil) were quantified in Galerucinaes. str. In comparison with the previous catalogue of worldwide Galerucinae (Wilcox 19711973), an additional 91 valid genera, 1341 valid species (1337 recent, 4 fossils) and 38 subspecies have been published; 43 genera were synonymized, four genera were transferred into Alticini, two subgenera were elevated to genus rank, and one genus was downgraded to subgenus rank. The updated list of references to taxonomic publications on Galerucinaes. str. from the period 1971–2016 is provided.

Introduction

Galerucinaesensu stricto (i.e., not including Alticini) belongs to Chrysomelidae (Coleoptera) and is one of the largest groups of leaf beetles (Yang et al. 2015). Adult Galerucinae can be identified by an oval to oblong body, with the head visible from above and inserted into the prothorax. The front coxal cavity is either open or closed. Tarsi are pseudotetramerous with the third segment bifid, and the fourth segment very small in size, and nested in the third one. The hind femur is slender without a femoral spring. The antenna has eleven segments; the antennal insertions are situated close together in front or between the eyes. Frontal tubercles are usually present and well developed. The elytral sensilla patch is usually single (Samuelson 1996; Nadein and Bezděk 2014).

Galerucinaes. str. is a key group to study the phylogeny of Polyphaga. The adults and larvae of Galerucinaes. str. are herbivorous, and most of them show host specificity. The special relationship of Galerucinaes. str. and its host plants makes the group a good model to study the evolution of herbivorous beetles, the convergent evolution of insects and plants (Futuyma and McCafferty 1990), and the evolutionary mechanisms of biodiversity (Farrell et al. 1992; Mitter and Farrell 1991). In addition, many species are used for biological control of weeds or are important pest species of agriculture (Vencl and Morton 1998; Xue et al. 2007; Bunnige et al. 2008; Xue and Yang 2008; Nie et al. 2012).

Among Chrysomelidae, the closest relative to Galerucinaes. str. is Alticinae (or flea beetles) discussed further below. Both groups have very rich diversity. Nadein and Bezděk (2014) estimated 6500 species in ca. 600 genera within Galerucinaes. str.; and about 8000 species in 534 genera within Alticinaes. str. The two groups have very similar morphological characters. The key morphological character used to distinguish both groups is the metafemoral extensor tendon (MET) in the hind femora (also known as metafemoral spring, metafemoral apodeme, or Maulik’s organ), which is a structure that permits large jumps for predator evasion (Furth and Suzuki 1990; Furth and Suzuki 1998; Nadein and Betz 2016). The presence of MET was not always mentioned in the descriptions of genera or species. Actually some species with slender hind femora have MET, such as Mandarella Duvivier, 1892. In contrast, some species with swell hind femora are without MET such as Orthaltica Crotch, 1873 (Furth and Suzuki 1994; Konstantinov and Prathapan 2008). Some genera are called “problematic genera” with the presence or absence of a MET and not fitting other characters. Recently, some researchers found that the MET may have multiple origins, evolving at least two or three times (Ge et al. 2011; 2012; Nie et al. 2017).

The phylogenetic relationship of Galerucinaes. str. and flea beetles has been disputed for many decades and is still unclear and controversial. Some recent investigations support the inclusion of the traditional alticines in Galerucinae, yet classification remains a challenge as neither the traditional “Galerucinae” nor the traditional “Alticinae” are monophyletic (Bouchard et al. 2011; Nadein and Bezděk 2014; Reid 2014). Other studies suggest considering both groups as subfamilies (e.g. Löbl and Smetana 2010,Ge et al. 2011, 2012; Haddad and McKenna 2016). So far, three hypotheses of evolutionary relationships have been proposed based on morphological or molecular data (Fig. 1). Among these tree hypotheses, a sister group relationship of Galerucinae and Alticinae was supported by the most molecular or morphological analyses (Seeno and Wilcox 1982; Doguet 1994; Farrell 1998; Gómez-Zurita et al. 2007; Hunt et al. 2007; Bouchard et al. 2011; Ge et al. 2011, 2012; Nie et al. 2017). Some of the recently established groupings, based on DNA sequences, still need further in-depth analysis because they are phylogenetically and biogeographically incomplete (Biondi and D´Alessandro 2012). In this study there is no attempt to resolve the relationship of both groups. The reason Galerucinae and Alticinae are treated as two equal groups is strictly technical in order to count the genera and the species correctly.

The three hypotheses of the phylogeny of Galerucinae and Alticinae. The supporters of each hypothesis are listed below each. Note: MD = Molecular Data; MPD = Morphological Data.

Some important catalogues of Galerucinaes. str. have been published during the 20th century. Weise (1924) catalogued 3678 species from 305 genera. The last comprehensive Galerucinae catalogue published by Wilcox (19711973) included 5802 species (including fossil taxa) in 476 genera. The summarized generic arrangement (495 genera) was presented by Seeno and Wilcox (1982). However, the taxonomy of Galerucinaes. str. has not been summarized during the last 40 years. Many new species, new genera, new names, or new synonymies have been proposed. This work seeks to provide a new detailed, up-to date, summary of global Galerucinaes. str. taxonomy.

Methods

All the currently valid genera names (in nomenclatorial sense, both recent and fossil) of subfamily Galerucinaes. str. in the world published before December 31, 2016 are listed. The references are mainly based on the database Zoological records and Jan Bezděk´s personal catalogue. Each genus includes the present number of recent species, subspecies and fossil species, generic distribution, list of subgenera and generic synonyms, and references to publications which influenced the number of genera and species from (Wilcox´s 19711973) catalogues to present (including important redescriptions). The references omitted in (Wilcox´s 19711973) catalogue are included.

For each genus, an outline of its present geographic distribution (based on Löbl and Smetana 2010) is provided. The abbreviation of fauna is as following:

AFR Afrotropical Region;

AUR Australian Region;

NAR Nearctic Region;

NTR Neotropical Region;

ORR Oriental Region;

PAR Palaearctic Region.

For genera with restricted distributions, the countries are listed. For the genera (e.g. Pyrrhalta, Xanthogaleruca, Tricholochmaea, Galerucella, Galeruca) with controvertible classified rank, we follow the Palaearctic catalogue (Beenen 2010). The authorship of the genera published in Dejean (1836) follows the paper by Bousquet and Bouchard (2013).

Wilcox published his catalogue in four fascicles. The fascicles 1–3 (Wilcox 19711973) comprise the catalogue itself including precisely documented species and genera. The last fascicle (Wilcox 1975) included addenda, index, and references to the papers published in several previous years. For comparison of genera and species, we used only fascicles 1–3. The fourth fascicle will be included in subsequent publications.

Results

Wilcox (19711973) published 5802 species (5793 recent species + 9 fossil ones) and 154 subspecies in 476 genera. As of the end of December 2016, Galerucinaes. str. contains 7145 species (7132 recent, 13 fossils) and 192 subspecies from 543 genera (542 recent, one fossil). Among these 543 genera, 91 novel valid genera (including one fossil) have been published since 1974. Since 1974, 1341 valid species (including four fossils) and 38 subspecies have been added. A total of 194 genera is listed in synonymy, of which 145 were listed as synonyms in Wilcox (19711973). After 1973, 43 genera were synonymized, four genera were transferred into Alticini, two subgenera were elevated to genus rank, and one genus was downgraded to subgenus. The detailed statistics on the number of genera, species and subspecies, geographic distribution, as well as the subgenera, the generic synonyms and references can be seen in Supplementary information/data 1.

Since 1974, some genera have been increased by many species e.g. Monolepta (113 species), Paleosepharia (63 species), Apophylia (47 species), Paridea (41 species), Pyrrhalta (38 species), while 292 genera have not increased. Surprisingly, the species number decreased from 259 to 246 in African Monoleptites, a group deeply revised in last twenty years, because of many new synonyms. Similar decrease in species number is expected in other species-rich genera with color variability, e.g., Diacantha Chevrolat, 1836 (see Wagner 2017). The major contribution of new generic descriptions since (Wilcox´s 19711973) catalogue has been made by Medvedev (22 genera), Wagner (17 genera), Chen (eleven genera), Kimoto (seven genera), Mohamedsaid (seven genera), Silfverberg (six genera), Bezděk (five genera), Beenen (five genera), Clark (four genera), Shute (three genera), and Lopatin (two genera).

The distribution of Galerucinaes. str. is worldwide. Altogether 186 genera (34.3%) are distributed in the Oriental Region, followed by Afrotropical Region (174 genera, 32.0%), Palaearctic Region (159 genera, 29.1%), Neotropical Region (105 genera, 19.3%), Australian Region (62 genera, 11.4%), and Nearctic Region (34 genera, 6.3%). A very high level of generic endemism is exhibited for the Afrotropical Region where 148 genera from total 174 are endemic (31 genera are endemic for Madagascar) and for Neotropical Region with 76 endemic genera from total 105. In the Afrotropical Region high level of generic endemism in Galerucinaes. str. (85%) corresponds to Alticinae with 71% (Biondi and D´Alessandro 2010). In all other regions the level of generic endemism of Galerucinaes. str. is below 50%. For the total numbers of genera and endemic genera in all the regions see Fig. 2.

Figure 2. 

The numbers of genera and endemic genera in geographical regions.

There are no cosmopolitan genera in Galerucinaes. str. The most diverse and most widely distributed genus is Monolepta with more than 700 species occurring in almost all the regions but missing in the Nearctic Region (Riley et al. 2003). Additional species-rich genera with wide distribution like Luperus Geoffroy, 1762 (97 species), Luperodes Motschulsky, 1858 (77 species), and Calomicrus Dillwyn, 1829 (85 species) are evidently polyphyletic and the future revisions will lead to the geographical restriction of these genera.

The distribution of many genera is shared with adjacent regions. For example, 37% of Oriental genera are endemic while 39% are shared with Palaearctic Region and additional 14% with Australian fauna. As expected only a low percentage (2%) of genera occurs in Nearctic/Neotropical regions and some another region (ORR-AFR 6%). On the other hand, 27 genera are shared with both Nearctic and Neotropical regions. It is necessary to mention that distribution of some genera is often only marginal in adjacent region (for example in the eastern border of Palaearctic and Oriental Regions). The generic endemism percentage in comparison with the percentage of the genera shared with other regions is graphed in Figs 3–8.

Among 92 genera proposed after Wilcox´s (19711973) catalogue, the fauna of the Oriental region has increased by 36 genera (39.1%), followed by Palaearctic Region (24 genera, 26.1%), Afrotropical Region (22 genera, 23.9%), Neotropical Region (eight genera, 8.7%), Australian Region (six genera, 6.5%), and Nearctic Region (one genus, 1.1%).

The following taxa listed by Wilcox (19711973) or described later in Galerucinaes. str. have been transferred to other Chrysomelidae groups:

Hildebrandtina Weise, 1910 belongs to Alticinaes. str. (see Biondi and D´Alessandro 2010, 2012).

Borbaita Bechyné, 1958, Micrantipha Blackburn, 1896, Neoclitena Abdullah & Qureshi, 1968, Philocalis Dejean, 1836, and Scelidopsis Jacoby, 1888 were transferred to Alticinaes. str. by Wilcox (1975) and their position is widely accepted (see Seeno and Wilcox 1982; Döberl 2010).

Lochmaeina Medvedev, 1956 and L. rosea Medvedev, 1956 are synonyms of Sangariola and S. punctatostriata Motschulsky (Alticinaes. str.) (see Wilcox 1975).

Stenoluperus Ogloblin, 1936 was synonymized with Mandarella Duvivier, 1892 which belongs to Alticinaes. str. (see e.g., Wilcox 1975; Medvedev 2012; Lee et al. 2016). However, its position is still questionable (Nie et al. 2017).

Luperodes antillarum Blake, 1937 was synonymized with Lysathia ludoviciana Fall, 1910 which belongs to Alticinaes. str. (see Wilcox 1975, Virkki 1979).

Luperus uenoi Kimoto, 1969 was transferred to Mandarella Duvivier, 1892 which belongs to Alticinaes. str. (see Lee et al. 2016).

Chaloenus Westwood, 1862 belongs to Alticinaes. str. (see Konstantinov and Prathapan 2008).

Calomicrus sibiricus (Csiki, 1916) was transferred to Luperomorpha Weise, 1887 which belongs to Alticinaes. str. by Bezděk (2007).

Oides neobengalensis Rizvi & Kamaluddin, 2011 is synonym of Clytra subfasciata Lacordaire, 1848 which belongs to Clytrini of Cryptocephalinae (see Bezděk 2012, 2016).

Paramerista Lopatin, 2011 is synonym of Podontia Dalman, 1824 and Paramerista luteola Lopatin, 2011 is synonym of Podontia lutea (Olivier, 1790) which belongs to Alticinaes. str. (see Bezděk 2012).
