Open-access Histeridae (Staphyliniformia: Coleoptera) from Brazil: an overview

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    ABSTRACT

    Histerid beetles represent a group that has historically received little attention from entomologists, especially in Brazil, which makes it difficult not only to understand biodiversity and its conservation, but also to develop research using these beetles in applied areas. Here we present an overview of the biodiversity of Histeridae in Brazil, focusing on the following information i) historical data and the current richness known for Brazil, including a list of species; ii) the main authors who described the Histeridae biodiversity recorded in the Brazilian territory, and in relevant entomological collections; iii) the literature to identify Histerids; iv) the known biological associations and collection methods; v) and the conservation of Brazilian species; in addition, to proposing goals for future studies. Most of the data presented comes from the Taxonomic Catalog of the Brazilian Fauna (TCBF), part Histeridae, a Brazilian initiative to generate knowledge about the faunal biodiversity present in the country. Our data indicate that to date six subfamilies, 16 tribes, 132 genera, 607 species and one subspecies are known in Brazil. We believe that the development of taxonomic tools that contribute to the knowledge of biodiversity, as well as the increase in taxonomic revisions, constitute the guiding principle to boost research in Histeridae.

    INTRODUCTION

    The Histeridae can be recognized by their compact and retractile body, short elytra that leave the last two abdominal tergites visible (propygidium - 6th tergite and pygidium - 7th tergite) and the geniculate antennae with compact apical club (Fig. 1).

    Figure 1
    Oxysternus maximus (Linnaeus, 1767), dorsal view. This is the largest species of Histerid beetles in the world, and of all the species known in Brazilian territory, this was the first to be described. Scale bar: 1.0 cm.

    Histerid beetles are mostly predators, mainly of dipterous larvae. They are morphologically very diverse in view of their adaptations to different environments and associations with other animals (Kovarik and Caterino 2001, Leivas et al. 2013, Kovarik and Caterino 2016, Leonel and Leivas 2023, Dégallier et al. 2020).

    These beetles are relevant to Applied Sciences such as Forensic Entomology (Mise et al. 2007, 2010, Aballay et al. 2013); Archaeoentomology (Kirgis 2023); Biological Conservation (Brustel 2004, Gomy and Millarakis 2012, Vieira et al. 2018); harmful to beekeeping (Krüger et al. 2017) and meliponiculture (Coletto-Silva and Freire 2006, Silva-Neto et al. 2019); pest control in pastures (Kovarik and Caterino 2001, 2016), banana planting (Mesquita 2003, Domínguez et al. 2018), agave planting (Salcedo-Delgado et al. 2018), palm planting (Mazur 2009, Passos et al. 2019), stored food (Hinton 1945), and forestry (bark beetles) (Camara et al. 2003, Shepherd and Goyer 2005).

    Despite their importance to applied sciences, basic information (e.g., distribution, ecology, natural history and conservation) about Histerid beetles from the Neotropical region is scarce. By extension, their diversity in conservation areas is mostly unknown (Ganho and Marinoni 2005, Leivas et al. 2013, Rafael et al. 2017) and it may be for this reason that they were never included/used in the management plans of Conservation Units (CUs) in Brazil.

    Following traditional classification of Histerid beetles, all around the world, the family has 4,252 species belonging to 391 genera, 17 tribes and 11 subfamilies (Mazur 2011). In the Neotropical region, 139 genera and 1,047 species were registered (respectively 85 and 352 in Brazil) by Costa (2000) and among these, 120 genera and 449 species are registered for Brazil according to the global catalog of Mazur (2011).

    Herein we present an overview about the Histerid beetles biodiversity from Brazil. More specifically, this contribution provides: i) the historical data and the current richness known for Brazil, including a list of species; ii) the main authors who described the Histeridae biodiversity recorded in Brazilian territory, and the most relevant entomological collections for studies with Brazilian fauna; iii) the literature to identify histerids registered in Brazilian territory; iv) the known biological associations and collection methods; v) and the conservation of Brazilian species; in addition, to proposing goals for future studies.

    MATERIAL AND METHODS

    The most recent taxonomic data presented herein are from the Taxonomic Catalog of the Brazilian Fauna - TCBF (in portuguese Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil - CTFB), a Brazilian initiative to generate knowledge about the biodiversity of the fauna present in the country (Boeger et al. 2024). More specifically, the data are from the Histeridae part from TCBF that are being performed by the authors since 2015 until December 31, 2023 (Bicho et al. 2023). Therefore, this publication is not intended to have precise and completely established data, but rather an approximation of the status of knowledge of the family’s biodiversity in the country, as this data is constantly being updated.

    During the construction of the catalog of Bicho et al. (2023), the first list of taxa was initially proposed based on the catalog by Mazur (2011) and updated with subsequent publications that are cited for each taxon on the TCBF homepage. At this moment, information from biological collections is not being considered, although in the future this information will be used to expand the TCBF database.

    The data about the main literature that can be useful to identify Histeridae biodiversity recorded in Brazilian territory; information about known biological associations and collecting methods; and information about conservation of the Brazilian species come from literature, and part of this information is already available in the TCBF.

    RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

    Historical data and known current biodiversity from Brazil

    A first list of Histeridae from Brazil was drawn up by Schmidt (1896) (Table 1), with a list rich in taxa, but still restricted to the Southeast region of the country, with species records only for the state of Rio de Janeiro (Petrópolis, city of Rio de Janeiro, “Boa Sorta” [currently a municipality of Cantagalo, state of Rio de Janeiro] and “Santa Rita” [current location uncertain, but probably within the state of Rio de Janeiro].

    Costa Lima (1952), in his classic work on the Brazil insects, described the general aspects of the family’s morphology, presented their habits and some lifestyles. Finally, he addressed the classification, citing more than 3,000 species throughout the world and little more than 1,000 species for the Neotropical region.

    The second compilation record on the fauna of Histeridae from Brazil was presented by the Brazilian Jacintho Guérin (1953). He mentioned a few species occurring in Brazil, in a lower richness than presented by Schmidt (1896), but pointing species distribution to the North, Center and South of the country (Table 1).

    For six decades, these lists of Histeridae species occurring in Brazil were not updated, and just much time later from Guérin, a regional list of species occurring in southern Brazil (states of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul) was published, being the first most complete regionalized list of species for the country (Gonçalves and Leivas 2017). Recently, information on taxa occurring in southern Brazil was substantially improved by the work of Leonel and Leivas (2023), in which authors presented an update of the regional list of Histeridae species, a list of species that are inside Conservation Units in southern Brazil, and biotic (biome, ecoregion and associations/affinities) and abiotic information (altitude and month of occurrence) for each species.

    Other regional compilations for Histeridae, although on a smaller scale, were limited to the work of Leivas et al. (2013) (about the species present in the vegetation formation of “Campos Gerais” from Paraná), Rafael et al. (2017) (on species present in Conservation Units under the Caatinga biome) and Leivas et al. (2024) (the first list of Histeridae from the state of Acre, Brazil)

    Our data (Bicho et al. 2023) indicate that so far six subfamilies, 16 tribes, 132 genera and 607 species and one subspecies are known to Brazil (Table 1). These numbers represent an increase of 37% of genera and 43% of species in relation to Costa (2000).

    Checklist of known current biodiversity of Histeridae from Brazil

    Recent works by Zhou et al. (2020) and Lackner et al. (2023) suggested considerable changes in the internal classification of Histeridae, bringing a modern proposal for definitions of subfamilies and tribes, which we adopt in the present publication.

    The Appendix 1 presents the complete list of Histeridae taxa recorded in Brazil until December 31, 2023 (Bicho et al. 2023). The most diverse genera in Brazil are the Exosternini Phelister (69 spp.) and Operclipygus (57 spp.) but several genera are known by just one species.

    Regarding knowledge of the biodiversity of Histeridae in Brazilian states, for all Brazilian states, excepted for Alagoas and Sergipe, there is at least one record of the family. The southern region of Brazil has better knowledge of species, with Paraná having the largest number of species recorded among the States, while the northeast has the greatest deficiency: Acre (16 spp., including data from Leivas et al. 2024), Amapá (9 spp.), Amazonas (18 spp.), Bahia (7 spp.), Ceará (3 spp.), Distrito Federal (5 spp.), Espírito Santo (7 spp.), Goiás (5 spp.), Maranhão (4 spp.), Mato Grosso (29 spp.), Mato Grosso do Sul (5 spp.), Minas Gerais (15 spp.), Pará (35 spp.), Paraíba (1 sp.), Paraná (75 spp.), Pernambuco (2 spp.), Piauí (2 spp.), Rio de Janeiro (17 spp.), Rio Grande do Norte (3 spp.), Rio Grande do Sul (10 spp.), Rondônia (7 spp.), Roraima (1 sp.), Santa Catarina (48 spp.), São Paulo (10 spp.) and Tocantins (3 spp.).

    Authors of Brazilian taxa, Collections, and depositories of type specimens

    Forty one authors contributed describing species that occur in Brazilian territory (Table 2). In the 19th century, the most significant researcher was the French Abbé S.-A. De Marseul (118 described species) contributing enormously to the subfamilies Abraeinae (Acritini, Plegaderini and Trypanaeini), Dendrophilinae (Paromalini), Haeteriinae (Haeteriini), Histerinae (Exosternini, Histerini, Hololeptini and Omalodini) and Saprininae (Euspilotini and Saprinini).

    Table 2
    Authors who contributed to the description of the Histeridae biodiversity recorded in Brazilian territory according to Bicho et al. (2023) and the respective number of species described by each of them, in descending order. *Although the number of species described by each author is presented individually, many of them published new species in collaboration, such as many species described by Caterino, Dégallier and Tishechkin. This means that the sum of the number of species described by each author is much greater than the number of species recorded in Brazil.

    During the transition from the 19th century to the 20th century, we highlight the British G. Lewis (83 described species) contributing to the description of many Abraeinae (Teretriini and Trypanaeini), Dendrophilinae (Bacaniini and Paromalini), Haeteriinae (Haeteriini and Nymphisterini), Histerinae (Exosternini, Hololeptini, Omalodini and Platysomatini), Saprininae (Euspilotini) and Tribalinae.

    In the 20th century, A. Reichensperger made an important contribution (71 described species) to the myrmecophiles of Haeteriinae (Haeteriini and Nymphisterini) and a few Histerinae (Exosternini).

    In the 21st century, Belarusian A.K. Tishechkin is in the spotlight (124 described species) from Haeteriinae (Haeteriini and Nymphisterini), Histerinae (Exosternini), this is the researcher who most described species of Histeridae occurring in Brazil; the North American M. S. Caterino (110 described species), mainly with Histerinae (Exosternini and Histerini); and the French N. Dégallier (33 described species) including Dendrophilinae, Haeteriinae (Haeteriini and Nymphisterini), Histerinae (Exosternini) and Tribalinae.

    The contribution of Brazilian researchers to the description of the biodiversity of Histeridae started a little over 10 years ago, so it is still not very significant in the country, being represented by only three researchers: D.P. Moura (three species described) L.M. Almeida (two species described), and F.W.T. Leivas (two species described). It is worth noting that, before these researchers, no Brazilian taxonomists had ever dedicated themselves to studying the family.

    As a reflection of the history of the contribution of foreign researchers (Marseul, Lewis, Reichensperger, Schmidt, Erichson and Bickhardt) much of the type material of Brazilian species of Histeridae is deposited in foreign collections (Horn et al. 1990), the main ones being: Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris (MNHN), Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin (ZMHB) and British Museum, London (BMNH).

    In relation with general collections around the world, a good representation of specimens of Neotropical Histeridae, including species known for Brazilian territory, can be accessed in the Histeridae collection at The Field Museum of Chicago (FMNH), being an important collection for any study on the Neotropical fauna of Histeridae. This collection was extensively worked on by R.L. Wenzel (1916-2006) (Gomy 2014a, 2014b), and is the largest Histeridae dataset in the world, with more than 40 thousand specimens (GBIF 2023).

    Regarding Brazilian collections, few biological collections have their Histeridae collections digitized (Fig. 2), which makes it difficult to track the main repositories that serve as a basis for the development of any area of Biological Sciences. However, important collections of Histeridae can be found in the following regions of Brazil: North: Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, Manaus (INPA) and Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, Belém (MPEG); Northeast: Coleção Entomológica da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, Recife (CERPE); Center West: Coleção Entomológica de Mato Grosso Eurides Furtado da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, Cuiabá (CEMT); Southeast: Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo (MZUSP); South: Coleção Entomológica Pe. J.S. Moure, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba (DZUP), and the largest collection in Brazil Coleção Entomológica do Setor Palotina, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Palotina (CESP).

    Taxonomic revisions and ability to identify species from Brazil

    To date there is no identification key that covers the recognition of suprageneric taxa occurring in Brazil, and information for species identification is also scattered. In order to meet an immediate demand, we present in Appendix 2 a review of the main works that may be useful to identify Histeridae taxa occurring in Brazil. Clearly, when compared to Appendix 1, the urgent need for taxonomic revisions of the genera occurring in Brazil is noticeable, as only 45 genera (26% of the total) present some more robust taxonomic information to identify the species, although several of them need updating.

    Biological associations known and collecting methods

    The breadth of environments in which the Histeridae occur, as well as the wide geographical distribution of the family, demonstrate that they are very successful predatory carnivorous beetles.

    Many groups are associated with nest or burrows of vertebrates, abandoned or live nests of several bird families, ant nests (~400 spp. of Abraeinae, Chlamydopsinae [not registered for Brazil], Dendrophilinae, Haeteriinae, Histerinae, Onthophilinae [not registered for Brazil], Saprininae, and Tribalinae), termites nest (decaying trees infested by termites, living colonies of arboreal and subterranean nests, abandoned nests, as well as detritus piles produced by termites), hymenopteran nests (stingless bees and Africanized honeybees) and egg sacs of theraphosid spiders (Dégallier et al. 2020, Iannuzzi et al. 2021).

    However, we still know little about the affinities and ecological associations for the species in the family in Neotropical region. Leonel and Leivas (2023) presented the first compilation of ecological associations/affinities of species of Histeridae with animal carcass, association with dung, with live plants, decaying fruit, decaying tree, litter, ants and termites. Papers like this are important, as it is rich in information to feed the TCBF. A compilation of the Histeridae associated with the carcass can be accessed in Correa et al. (2020a, 2020b).

    Regarding how to collect Histeridae in the face of a large occupation of environments, several active and passive collection methods can be applied, and the choice of the most appropriate method is related to prior knowledge of the natural history of the group. Certainly, for ecological work, pitfall and flight interception traps can be great choices, as they allow the capture of specific groups (in the case of pitfall, depending on the attraction used) or a random diversity of species that are in flight (in the case of FIT), in addition to both enabling standardized field efforts. More information about these capture methods can be accessed in the specialized works of Dégallier and Gomy (1983), Dégallier (2004), Leivas et al. (2013) and Iannuzzi et al. (2021), or general bibliography of Almeida et al. (1998, 2012, 2024).

    About the conservation of the species

    Sixty-two species (10.1% of the total) are recorded inside of CUS from Brazil: Área Especial de Interesse Turístico (AEIT) do Marumbi was the richest (25 spp.), followed by Parque Estadual de Guartelá (14 spp.), Parque Nacional de Sete Cidades (11 spp.), Parque Estadual Mata São Francisco (10 spp.), Area de Proteção Ambiental Serra de São José (9 spp.), Refúgio da Vida Silvestre Libélulas da Serra de São José (9 spp.), Adolpho Ducke Forest Reserve (5 spp.), Reserva Particular de Patrimônio Natural Fazenda (5 spp.), Almas Parque Nacional de Ubajara (4 spp.). Estação Ecológica da Ilha do Mel, Parque Ecológico Samuel Klabin, Parque Estadual do Marumbi, Parque Estadual Turvo, Parque Mata dos Godoy, Reserva Estadual de Vila Rica and Parque da Ferradura had only one species (Appendix 3).

    Until now, the Atlantic Forest is the best-known biome (148 spp., Vieira et al. 2018, Leonel and Leivas 2023), followed by Cerrado (21 spp., Vieira et al. 2018, Leonel and Leivas 2023), Amazon (17 spp., Mise et al. 2010, Leivas et al. 2012a, 2024), Caatinga (16 species, Santos et al. 2014, Rafaela et al. 2017), Pampa (14 spp., Leonel and Leivas 2023) and no information for Pantanal (Fig. 3). Certainly, this is not the real diversity of Histeridae present in Brazilian biomes. The underestimated data, especially for the Pantanal, Cerrado, Caatinga and Amazon, reflects the lack of compilation of regional data.

    Future studies

    To improve the family’s knowledge in Brazil, on aspects of taxonomy, ecology and conservation, we suggest some goals for the next five years:

    Development of taxonomic tools, such as identification keys, to improve the ability to recognize Brazilian biodiversity and define new taxa to be described. These tools should be designed for use not only by histeridologists, but also by other entomologists who can advance in other areas of study without dependence on a specialist taxonomist;

    Development of taxonomic revisions to improve the ability to identify species and describe new species. An inestimable number of Histeridae species are yet to be described, and only taxonomic revisions can provide certainty for these descriptions;

    Preparation of regional lists of species rich in information on geographic distribution, biotic (biome, ecoregion and associations/affinities) and abiotic information (altitude and month of occurrence) for each species. These lists are essential for updating and expanding information in the Brazilian Fauna Taxonomic Catalog, help to improve knowledge of biodiversity in Brazilian biomes and it is fundamental for discussing aspects of species conservation. Studies should be prioritized for regions with little information on the Histeridae fauna, such as the north, northeast and central-west regions of Brazil. Regarding biomes, priority must be given to studies aimed at improving knowledge in the Pantanal, Amazon, Pampa and Caatinga;

    Preparation of lists of species that are inside Conservation Units in Brazil. This information is essential to understand the effectiveness of Conservation Units in conserving biodiversity, and in addition to being a fundamental source for improving CUs management plans and developing public conservation policies;

    Improve the digitization of Histeridae collections in Brazil and provide free access. The open access of data from scientific collections is essential for the development of research in the most diverse areas of science, from basic to applied. Using this data, we were able to define the best groups for taxonomic revisions, even understanding the geographic distribution of a taxon of applied importance;

    Training of human resources specialized in taxonomy, ecology, and conservation of Histeridae. Historically, Brazil is a country lacking people interested in research on Histeridae, which makes it difficult to advance knowledge in the national territory. We also understand that, as important as training human resources, is the placement of these future researchers in public or private research institutions.

    This is the first most complete scenario of information on the Histeridae family in Brazil. We believe that the first two items of this list (to develop taxonomic tools for identification of the biodiversity and to perform taxonomic revisions) are priority research with the family. We hope that in five years we will make important progress in the objectives listed above.
