Onysius Broun, 1886, is transferred from the endemic New Zealand Chalcodryidae to Promecheilidae, reducing the number of genera of the former to two (Chalcodrya and Philpottia). Onysius shares several adult characters with Promecheilidae, including the abdominal ventrites 3 and 4 not connate and the tegmen subdivided into a basale and apicale (larv...

... Broun (1886) (Fig. 1B) was described as a genus of Melandryidae based on a specimen from the Mamaku (as Patetere) Plateau in the central part of North Island, New Zealand. Later the same year, Malacodrya Sharp (1886) was described (as a helopine tenebrionid) from Picton at the southeast corner of South Island and Greymouth along the west coast of South ...

The monotypic genus Malacodrya was synonymized with Onysius by Broun (1915). The latter genus, plus the New Zealand genera Chalcodrya Redtenbacher (1868) (Fig. 1C) and Philpottia Broun (1915) (Fig. 1D), were placed by various authors (Broun 1915;Carter 1915;Champion 1893) in subfamilies or tribes now part of Tenebrionidae, but Watt (1967) and Crowson (1967) referred these groups, at least tentatively, to the family Zopheridae.

Watt (1974a) proposed Chalcodryidae, which included Onysius anomalus Broun, the species of Chalcodrya and Philpottia, plus the Tasmanian Sirrhas limbatus Champion (1893). Lawrence (1994) described the new and somewhat different species, Sirrhas variegatus Lawrence (Fig. 1A), also from Tasmania, redefined and expanded the South Temperate Perimylopidae St. George (1939), and transferred Sirrhas, plus the Tasmanian tenebrionid Melytra Pascoe, 1869, to that family. Onysius, however, was retained in Chalcodryidae. Perimylopidae was further expanded by Lawrence et al. (2010) with the inclusion of the Chilean ...

In the present study, the systematic position of Onysius is reconsidered and evidence given for its transfer to Promecheilidae, recording Diagnosis. Onysius differs from both Chalcodrya (Fig. 1C) and Philpottia (Fig. 1D) in having the antennae much longer than head and prothorax combined, the elytra tuberculate and much broader than the base of the prothorax, abdominal ventrites 3 and 4 not connate, tegmen subdivided into a basale and apicale, female genital tract with a small bursa and large spermatheca and spermathecal gland, ...

These include the Phycosecidae (Australia and New Zealand), Caridae, Hobartiidae, Ommatidae, Protocucujidae, Promecheilidae (Australia and South America; the latter now recognised as present in New Zealand; Lawrence et al. 2020) and Cavognathidae, Priasilphidae, Ulodidae (all three). Here too need to be mentioned the Boganiidae (southern Africa, Australia) and Chaetosomatidae (Madagascar, New Zealand), with notable disjunctions. ...
Invertebrates make up the majority of all living species on earth. Nevertheless, our understanding of the global distribution of terrestrial biodiversity and regional patterns therein has thus far been almost entirely based on vertebrate and vascular plant patterns. Here we try to provide some information on the global biogeography of the largest invertebrate order, the beetles (Coleoptera). We compile and analyse a database of beetle distributions, containing presence-absence data for 177 coleopteran families across 827 ecoregions. We map family richness and weighted endemism and find the highest values in the Neotropics and Southeast Asia, but also in the temperate northern hemisphere. Important centres of beetle family endemism include the western and southern parts of North America, Central America, temperate South America, Europe, South, Southeast and East Asia, and eastern Australia. A series of UPGMA cluster analyses were used to produce two global regionalisation maps. As analyses on the complete dataset failed to produce contiguous clusters, two sub-datasets were considered. The first one excluded widespread families and family-poor ecoregions, and the second was restricted to endemic-rich ecoregions. The clusters resulting from the first analysis are partly similar to vertebrate-and plant-based regionalisation schemes, with easily discernible and extensive Holarctic and Holotropical regions, but also include numerous smaller regions, mostly in the temperate parts of the southern Hemisphere (Andean, Patagonian, Matorral, New Guinean, New Caledonian, southern African), with Australia split between a tropical and a temperate/subtropical part. New Zealand is not analysed in this reduced dataset, but clusters with New Caledonia in the endemic-rich analysis, where further interesting subdivisions emerge (mainly in East Asia and western North America). We discuss these patterns in the light of coleopteran dispersal and the habitat requirements predominant across the coleopteran phylogeny, while considering the age of beetle families.
Part 2 of this work includes a review of morphological and systematic work on Histeridae (G07, revision), Bostrichoidea (G15), Coccinelloidea (G16), Lymexyloidea + Tenebrionoidea (G17), Cleroidea (G18), Cucujoidea (G19), Chrysomeloidea (G20) and Curculionoidea (G21), discussions of hind wing structure in each group based on 702 wing images, references to additional published figures and comments on wing morphology and,
if possible, how these wing features may or may not be correlated with recent phylogenetic hypotheses. The introduction is followed by brief discussions of some important works not mentioned in Part 1, particularly those dealing with relationships of extinct taxa.
A review of genus-group names for darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae (Insecta: Coleoptera) is presented. A catalogue of 4122 nomenclaturally available genus-group names, representing 2307 valid genera (33 of which are extinct) and 761 valid subgenera, is given. For each name the author, date, page number, gender, type species, type fixation, current status, and first synonymy (when the name is a synonym) are provided. Genus-group names in this family are also recorded in a classification framework, along with data on the distribution of valid genera and subgenera within major biogeographical realms. A list of 535 unavailable genus-group names (e.g., incorrect subsequent spellings) is included. Notes on the date of publication of references cited herein are given, when known.
