Field surveys utilizing nine collection methods over a 22-year period rendered a total of 112 elateroid species (Coleoptera: Elateroidea) in four families (Cerophytidae Latreille, Elateridae Leach, Eucnemidae Eschscholtz, and Throscidae Laporte). Eleven species are reported for the first time in Virginia. Periods of adult activity, based on dates o...

... Much progress has been made documenting the terrestrial beetle fauna of the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP) e.g., Brattain et al. (2019), Johnson and Steury (2021), Steury et al. (2020), Steury & MacRae (2014), Steury & Messer (2014), and Steury & Paulsen (2022), among others. This study sought to provide the first detailed inventory targeting the aquatic beetle fauna of the GWMP. ...
Four years of sampling effort during 2006–2009 using four collection methods at two sites in a national park (George Washington Memorial Parkway) in northern Virginia captured 292 aquatic beetle specimens in seven families. These specimens represent 54 species in 33 genera. Thirty-six species are first records for the Potomac Gorge, an area surveyed for beetles for over 120 years. Periods of adult activity, based on dates of capture, are given for each species. The efficacy of each collection method is briefly discussed.
... These specimens increase the number of click beetles documented from GWMP to 80 species (Johnson & Steury (2021). These specimens increase the number of false click beetles from GWMP to 29 species (Johnson & Steury (2021). ...

Thirty-four beetle species in the families Anamorphidae, Anthribidae, Buprestidae, Carabidae, Cerambycidae, Chrysomelidae, Cleridae, Elateridae, Eucnemidae, Latridiidae, Ptinidae, and Scarabaeidae are reported for the first time from the George Washington Memorial Parkway, a National Park site in northern Virginia. Five species represent
the first published records for Virginia and two are the first records for the District of Columbia. Twelve species are first records for the Potomac Gorge. Images of five species new to Virginia or the District of Columbia are provided, including the first published images of Gambrinus olentangyi (Knull).
Biodiversity monitoring is critical to understanding how ecological communities respond to disturbance. Beetles are an ideal group for monitoring due to their high taxonomic and ecological diversity. We surveyed beetles and other arthropods in burned (i.e., low-intensity prescribed fire) and unburned portions of Berea College Forest in Berea, Kentucky, USA during 2021 and 2022. In total, 43 species within 27 families are reported as new state records for Kentucky. We also report updated distributional records for each species using data from published resources and online databases hosted by the Symbiota Collections of Arthropods Network (SCAN).
