The comparative morphology of antennal structures in Buprestidae (Coleoptera): evolutionary trends, taxonomic and phylogenetic implications. Part I.
Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae biologicae (Brno), 2001, 86: 43-169.
Abstract.
The results of comparative morphological study of antennal structures in
Buprestidae LEACH, 1815 are presented and illustrated with scanning electron
microphotographs. In total, the
antennae of 412 species from 316 genera of all the subfamilies of Buprestidae
and 6 genera of other
Elateriformia were studied using scanning electron microscopy. In addition,
the antennae of many species from
other buprestid genera were examined using optic dissecting and compound
microscopes. The general
structures of antennae, individual sensillae and sensory organs in Buprestidae
are described with particular
attention given to the structure and arrangement of antennal sensory organs as
key taxonomic characters. It is
established that the structure of entire antennae and antennomeres separately,
the structure, composition,
placing, and quantitative characteristics of antennal sensillae and sensory
organs, as well as their sexual
dimorphism, may serve as reliable taxonomic characters. A review of antennal
structures in subfamilies
Schizopodinae LE CONTE, 1861, Julodinae LACORDAIRE, 1857, Polycestinae
LACORDAIRE, 1857,
Chalcophorinae LACORDAIRE, 1857, Buprestinae, and Galbellinae REITTER, 1911 is followed by a discussion of
their genesis, evolutionary trends, and taxonomical and phylogenetic
implications. Each main phyletic stock
(complex) of Buprestidae is characterised by certain evolutionary trends
and particular pathways of genesis of
antennal structures. The smaller phyletic lineages demonstrate their own
morphoclines although the separate
states can appear to be quite similar in the representatives of different
lineages or even stocks. The most
primitive states are found in Schizopodinae and Julodinae, although the
latter demonstrate a rather high level
of specialisation. Polycestinae and Buprestinae show quite similar
(buprestoid) pathways of antennal structure
genesis, whereas the taxa attributed to the Chalcophoroid complex exibit
a particular (chalcophoroid) pathway.
The evolutionary trends of antennal structures in Galbellinae are somewhat
unclear. Based on peculiarities of
antennal structure genesis, the main phylogenetic stocks, lineages, branches
and groups are recognised in
Buprestidae. The systematic position, taxonomic status and relationships of
many other buprestid higher taxa
are discussed. Taxonomical changes and suggestions are listed in the Summary.
A list is provided of the
buprestid taxa examined using a scanning electron microscope, arranged with
respect to their antennal structure.
Key words: Coleoptera, Buprestidae, antennal structures, sensillae, sensory organs, evolution, taxonomic and
phylogenetic implications.
