Abstract

A catalog is presented of species of the subfamily Cassidinae (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) deposited in the Insect Collection of the College of Agriculture, Yangtze University in Jingzhou, Hubei, China. A complete list of all specimens for each species is provided, together with the label data. A total of 1,207 adult specimens of Cassidinae were examined, representing 53 species, 13 genera, and six tribes. Fourteen species are recorded in Hubei Province for the first time: Aspidomorpha (s. str.) transparipennis (Motschulsky, 1860), Basiprionota gressitti Medvedev, 1957, Callispa dimidiatipennis Baly, 1858, Cassida australica (Boheman, 1855), C. expansa Gressitt, 1952, C. juglans Gressitt, 1942, C. pallidicollis Boheman, 1856, C. postarcuata (Chen & Zia, 1964), C. quinaria (Chen & Zia, 1964), C. rati Maulik, 1923, C. sigillata (Gorham, 1885), Glyphocassis (Hebdomecosta) spilota (Gorham, 1885), Hispellinus chinensis Gressitt, 1950, and H. moerens (Baly, 1874). Five species are newly recorded from Chongqing: Aspidomorpha (s. str.) difformis (Motschulsky, 1860), Cassida sauteri (Spaeth, 1913), C. vespertina Boheman, 1862, Gly. (Hebdomecosta) spilota (Gorham, 1885), and Dactylispa chinensis Weise, 1905. Furthermore, Callispa almora Maulik, 1923 is new to Zhejiang Province, Platypria aliena Chen & Sun, 1962 is new to Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and Cassida rubiginosa Müller, 1776 is new to Sichuan Province.

Introduction

The subfamily Cassidinae Gyllenhal, 1813 sensu lato includes approximately 6,400 species (Borowiec and Świętojańska 2012–2024; Staines 2015; Sekerka 2020; Hobern et al. 2021), accounting for approximately 16% of the species diversity within the leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae Latreille, 1802) and representing the second richest clade, after Galerucinae Latreille, 1802 (Chaboo 2007). Historically, the Cassidinae (tortoise beetles) and Hispinae (hispine beetles) were treated as separate subfamilies (Seeno and Wilcox 1982). The current combination of tortoise beetles and hispine beetles is relatively recent (Staines 2002).

Approximately 500 species in 52 genera from 14 tribes have been recorded in China (Gressitt 1938, 1950, 1952; Gressitt and Kimoto 1963; Chen et al. 1986; Hua 2002; Qi et al. 2008; Lee et al. 2011, 2012, 2016; Borowiec and Świętojańska 2012–2024; Staines 2015; Sekerka et al. 2016; Liao et al. 2018b; Yang et al. 2023). In recent years, surveys of Cassidinae in various regions have revealed several newly recorded species in China, as well as new provincial or autonomous region records (Qi et al. 2008; Lee et al. 2012; Liao et al. 2018a; Liu et al. 2019; Yang et al. 2023, 2024). However, there are still a large number of specimens scattered and stored in multiple collections that have not been studied, and distribution records for many species are also lacking. In addition, the few monographs and specialized lists on Cassidinae in China have rarely been updated (Liu 1936; Gressitt 1938, 1939a, b, 1950, 1952; Gressitt and Kimoto 1963; Chen et al. 1986; Hua 2002; Lee et al. 2016).

The Insect Collection of the College of Agriculture, Yangtze University (YZU), located in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, China, is one of the largest insect collections in Central China. Its predecessor, the Insect Specimen Room of Hubei Agricultural College, was established in the 1980s, with a collection focused on insect specimens from the western region of Hubei, encompassing areas such as Shennongjia National Park, Dalaoling National Nature Reserve, Houhe National Nature Reserve, and other national nature reserves. It currently houses over 650,000 insect specimens. The earliest Cassidinae specimens, Cassida piperata Hope, 1842, housed in the collection, date back to 1987. Since then, many Cassidinae specimens have been collected. As of September 2024, more than 1,200 adult specimens of Cassidinae have been accumulated in the collection, however, no information is available on their larval stages or host plants.

This paper provides a catalog of the Cassidinae beetles preserved in the YZU and updates the distribution data for some Cassidinae beetles in China.

Material and methods

The Cassidinae material examined in this study was collected from nine provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities and was deposited in the YZU. Adult Cassidinae specimens were identified using the available diagnostic keys (Chen et al. 1986), online resources (Staines 2012; Borowiec and Świętojańska 2012–2024), and photos of type species. Cassidinae classification, taxonomic names and distribution primarily follow Chen et al. (1986); Borowiec and Świętojańska (2012–2024); Staines (2015); Bezděk and Sekerka (2024). Taxa in the catalog below are arranged alphabetically, by tribe, genus, and species.

Photographs were captured using a Canon 5D Mark II DSLR camera with a Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8 L IS USM lens and Laowa 25 mm f/2.8 2.5–5X Ultra Macro lens. Multiple images were taken at different focal planes with the lowest aperture, and the images were subsequently stacked and composed using Helicon Focus software.

All label data were transcribed verbatim as appearing on the respective labels. The complete label information of each specimen is presented as follows: collection location, date of collection, altitude, latitude, longitude, collector, and specimen number. Not all Cassidinae specimens have complete information, and without such information, the position will be omitted from the label, with a semi-colon to separate distinct collecting events, i.e., Sichuan: FPV, 26 VII 2024, 1,717.2 m a.s.l., 32.686682°N, 104.076656°E, Chaokun Yang leg. [1 spec., CS-62]; Hubei; LPT, 15 VII 2008, Bo Zhan leg. [1 spec., A-265]; Guizhou: NPT: 18 VIII 2024, Chaokun Yang leg. [3 spec., CS-308–CS-310]. New distribution records are marked with ‘*’.

Discussion

The preliminary catalog presented here documents, as of October 2024, a total of 1,207 specimens belonging to 53 species, 13 genera, and six tribes of Cassidinae housed in YZU. Among the 53 species, the tribe Cassidini is the most diverse, with 24 species, accounting for 45.3% of the total species, followed by Hispini (12 species, 22.6%). In addition, 14 species were recorded for the first time in Hubei Province, five species in Chongqing, and one species each in Zhejiang, Guangxi, and Sichuan Provinces. The new species records provide important insights into the distribution and biodiversity of the Cassidinae in China. Some widely distributed species such as Dactylispa chinensis Weise, 1905, Cassida rubiginosa Müller, 1776, and Glyphocassis (Hebdomecosta) spilota (Gorham, 1885) also have new records, indicating that many potential habitats in China have not been fully studied (Liu et al. 2019; Yang et al. 2023; Yang et al. 2024). Considering that these newly recorded species may also exist in other similar environments, further investigations in the future will help fill the gaps in the distribution of species in various provinces and regions in China.

To our knowledge, no previous studies in China have systematically cataloged a single collection of Cassidinae specimens while also providing photographs of all documented species. Furthermore, since the publication of Fauna Sinica (Insecta: Coleoptera: Hispidae) (Chen et al. 1986), specialized revisions or regional catalogs dedicated to Cassidinae in China have remained relatively scarce (Qi 2009; Lee et al. 2011, 2012; Liu et al. 2019; Yang et al. 2023, 2024). Therefore, this study may represent the first comprehensive effort of its kind, providing a valuable reference for future taxonomic, biogeographic, and ecological research.

Many universities and research institutions across China may house additional Cassidinae specimens in their collections. Where possible, we will strengthen collaboration with these institutions to compile more comprehensive data and photograph additional species, contributing to the foundational research on Cassidinae in China.
