A second Chinese species of the beetle family Jacobsoniidae, Sarothrias songi sp. nov., is described from Hainan Island. The new species is compared with and separated from similar congeners, supported by illustrations of diagnostic characters. A new collection record for S. sinicus Bi & Chen, 2015 from Yunnan is given, and the genital structures of this species are illustrated for the first time.

Since the mid-1840s a diverse fossil vertebrate assemblage, referred to as the Chinchilla Local Fauna, has been collected from the Pliocene deposits of the Chinchilla Sand on the western Darling Downs of South-East Queensland. In large part because of this long history and the numerous collectors who have worked fossil deposits in the area, much ambiguity regarding site and locality names and their specific coordinates exists. Here, we review the vertebrate fossil collection records in the Queensland Museum Fossil, Donor, Collector and Locality Registers, correspondence, and field notes in an effort to pinpoint the location of each named locality and site and develop a digital map which highlights the historical collecting sites at one significant locality in the Chinchilla area. To ensure that a systematic framework for all future collecting from the main collecting area (Chinchilla Rifle Range) is maintained, we recommend the use of consistent nomenclature for sites so that spatial information of the highest possible quality is captured into the future. We recommend future collections include detailed recordings of stratigraphic contexts as well as GPS coordinates.

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar estacas de Pinus sp. como isca-armadilha em vários períodos de exposição a cupins subterrâneos em áreas com diferentes composições florísticas no Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro (JBRJ). As iscas-armadilha (previamente embebidas em água destilada por 0, 24 e 48 horas) foram enterradas ao mesmo tempo em três áreas do JBRJ, para retiradas mensais em grupos com exposição de 1 a 12 meses a Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) e Heterotermes longiceps (Snyder) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae). Houve diferença estatística sobre o tempo de exposição às iscas-armadilha e não houve diferença para um período de imersão em água. Concluiu-se que as iscas-armadilha são naturalmente atraentes para os cupins subterrâneos, e não necessitam de prévia imersão em água destilada para aumentar sua maciez. O tempo de permanência da isca-armadilha no solo não deve exceder a 3 meses para Coptotermes gestroi, em condições de alta luminosidade solar e escassa disponibilidade de matéria orgânica no solo, enquanto que para Heterotermes longiceps, o tempo de exposição pode ser de até 12 meses, em condições de baixa luminosidade e maior disponibilidade de matéria orgânica, fato a ser considerado em programas de controle de cupins.

This study aimed to evaluate stakes of Pinus sp. as bait-trap for several periods of exposure to subterranean termites in areas of different floristic compositions in the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro (JBRJ). Bait-traps were previously immersed in distilled water for 0, 24 or 48 hours. They were buried in three areas of JBRJ for monthly withdrawals in groups with exposure of 1 to 12 months on the species of subterranean termite, Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) and Heterotermes longiceps (Snyder). We observed statistical difference on exposure time of the bait-trap,but no difference for the period of immersion in water. We concluded that the bait-trap are naturally attractive to subterranean termites and do not require immersion in distilled water previously in order to increasing their softness. The exposure time of the bait-trap in soil should not exceed 3 months to C. gestroi, under conditions of prolonged effect of sunlight and scarce availability of organic matter, while for H. longiceps the exposure time can be extended to 12 months under conditions of low incidence of sunlight and high availability of organic matter, facts that must be considered on termites control programs.Keywords: Termite's behavior; Isoptera; Coptotermes gestroi; Heterotermes longiceps.
