• W197905490 abstract "A faunal study of the five species of Lucanidae and one species of Passalidae that occur in Nebraska is presented. All of these species are near the extreme western limit of their geographic range in North Anterica, and five of the six species are reported from Nebraska for the first time. The treatment for each species consists of synonymy, description, general dism'bution, Nebraska locality records, temporal distribution in the state, remarks on identification, reference to larval desc@tions when available, and information about the biology and ecology of each species when known. Dism'bution maps, showing the Nebraska records, are given for each species. Habitus drawings of the adult of each species as well as line drawings illustrating larval characters are provided. A key to all the Nebmska species of Lucanidae is provided. There is no need to be frightened. It is true some of the creatures are odd, but I find the situation rather heartening than otherwise. It gives one a feeling of confidence to see nature still busy with experiments, still dynamic, and not through nor satisfied because a Devonian fish managed to end as a two-legged character with a straw hat. ---Loren Eiseley The Ittuneme Journey The Scarabaeoidea is a large, cosmopolitan superfamily of beetles comprised of the families Scarabaeidae, Lucanidae, and Passalidae. In Nebraska, there are 203 species in these three families: Scarabaeidae (197), Lucanidae (5) , and Passalidae (1). The Scarabaeidae in the state were treated in detail by Ratcliffe (1991), and the remaining two families are reviewed here. The stag and passalid beetles in Nebraska have not been treated previously due in large measure to the fact that they have never before been recognized as occurring in Nebraska; five of the six species are here recorded from Nebraska for the first time and constitute new state records. 250 Great Plains Research Vol.1 No.2 All of these species are very near the westernmost limit of their geographic ranges. Because they are usually associated with eastern deciduous forests, a prairie state like Nebraska is not usually considered as having suitable habitat. Most of our species are found in extreme southeastern Nebraska where eastern deciduous forest is present in patches or as gallery forests along watercourses. There is also a significant lack of collecting in most of Nebraska, and so our knowledge of the state's insect fauna remains fragmentary at best. This lack of entomological information is even more pronounced when extended to species that are usually encountered only at lights or as a result of chopping apart rotted logs and stumps where they live. Materials and Methods The results of this study are based on the examination of all the specimens known to exist in the principal research collections in Nebraska. The majority of specimens come from the systematics research collections of the Division of Entomology of the University of Nebraska State Museum. These collections, numbering about 1.75 million specimens, are recognized as one of the top 20 collections in North America (Conference of Directors of Systematics Collections 1971; Fischer et al. 1975) and represent a century of data gathering in the prairie biome. The collection at Hastings College is small but contains important locality records. Conventional artificial keys to all the taxa involved are presented, and an attempt was made to utilize key characters that are consistently expressed and easily observed. The keys and descriptions are all augmented by illustrations to assist the reader in correctly identifying specimens. The illustrations consist of line drawings and habitus drawings on pebble board. Dot maps show county distributions for each species based on label data. Each genus and species-level taxon is introduced with its chronological, nomenclatural history. An abbreviated description of each species follows. To avoid subjectivity, a note on puncture size is important. Minute punctures are generally not seen with 12.5 X magnification but are easily seen with 50 X magnification. Small punctures are easily seen with 12.5 X magnification and can be seen with the unaided eye. Large punctures are easily seen without the aid of instruments. on the overall, and then Nebraska, distribution for each species is presented following the description. The actual locality data is followed by the temporal distribution. The Remarks section is divided into (a) distinguishing features of the adult, (b) reference to larval descriptions, and (c) life history and ecological information.
