Abstract

:

All 142 known species of Curculionoidea in Eocene amber are documented, including one species of Nemonychidae, 16 species of Anthribidae, six species of Belidae, 10 species of Rhynchitidae, 13 species of Brentidae, 70 species of Curcuionidae, two species of Platypodidae, and 24 species of Scolytidae. Oise amber has eight species, Baltic amber has 118 species, and Rovno amber has 16 species. Nine new genera and 18 new species are described from Baltic amber. Four new synonyms are noted: Palaeometrioxena Legalov, 2012, syn. nov. is synonymous with Archimetrioxena Voss, 1953; Paleopissodes weigangae Ulke, 1947, syn. nov. is synonymous with Electrotribus theryi Hustache, 1942; Electrotribus erectosquamata Rheinheimer, 2007, syn. nov. is synonymous with Succinostyphlus mroczkowskii Kuska, 1996; Protonaupactus Zherikhin, 1971, syn. nov. is synonymous with Paonaupactus Voss, 1953. Keys for Eocene amber Curculionoidea are given. There are the first records of Aedemonini and Camarotini, and genera Limalophus and Cenocephalus in Baltic amber.

1. Introduction

The Curculionoidea are one of the largest and most diverse groups of beetles, including more than 62,000 species [1] comprising 11 families [2,3]. They have a complex morphological structure [2,3,4,5,6,7], ecological confinement, and diverse trophic links [1], which makes them a convenient group for characterizing modern and fossil biocenoses. The oldest Curculionoidea are described from the Middle Jurassic of China [8] and the Middle–Upper Jurassic of Kazakhstan [2,8,9,10,11,12]. The major families appear in the Lower Cretaceous [2,13,14,15,16,17], while the major subfamilies occur in the Palaeogene [2,17].

The Eocene ambers of Europe with Curculionoidea include the Earliest Eocene Oise amber and Late Eocene Baltic and Rovno ambers. Oise amber Coleoptera were first studied by Kirejtshuk and Nel [18], while the first weevil from Oise amber was described in the Brentidae [19]. In 2019, a review of weevils of the families Brentidae and Curculionidae from Oise amber was published [20]. The first Curculionoidea from Baltic amber was Hylesinites electrinus Germar, 1813 (Scolytidae) [21]. The second species from Baltic amber was described by Motschulsky in 1857 [22]. Unfortunately, it is not possible to establish a more accurate systematic position of Erirhinoides cariniger Motschulsky, 1857 based on its brief description [22], and the collection where the holotype was stored was lost. A review of Baltic amber bark beetles was given by Schedl [23], which is still the only general work on Baltic amber bark beetles. Voss [24,25] and Zherikhin [26] described many weevils from Baltic amber in three articles [24,25,26]; later, 15 species were also described [27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37]. In 2012, the present author began a study of the Curculionoidea in Baltic amber [2,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53] and described 48 species. Data on Curculionoidea are also given in general works devoted to amber [54,55,56,57,58], catalogs [59,60], and descriptions in scientific collections [61,62,63]. The curculionoid fauna from Eocene Rovno amber represented by three families, despite recent work [64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73], remains insufficiently studied.

This review summarizes all previous information about Curculionoidea from Eocene amber, provides keys for currently described species from Eocene amber, comments on the identification of taxa, and also describes new taxa.

2. Materials and Methods

The Baltic amber mines are located along the Baltic Sea coast mostly at the Amber quarry of Yantarny (former Palmnicken) near Kaliningrad in the Kaliningrad Region (Russia). Baltic amber from the Prussian Formation dates 34–48 million years old [74]. The amber from this deposit was probably produced by Pinus succinifera, Cerdus, Pseudolarix (Pinaceae), Agathis (Araucariaceae), Sciadopitys (Sciadopityaceae) (Sadowski et al. 2016) [75,76,77,78,79], or other trees.

Rovno amber is found in the Rovno Region (Ukraine) [80]. The amber dates the Late Eocene (Priabonian) [80,81]. The plant producing this amber is possibly the same as Baltic amber.

The Oise amber deposit is located near the town of Creil at a place known as “Le Quesnoy” (Paris Basin, Creil, Oise, France). The age of this site was estimated as Lowermost Eocene (about 53 Ma) [82]. The amber-producing tree is Aulacoxylon sparnacense (Combretaceae or Caesalpiniaceae), which could be related to extant Terminalia L. (Combretaceae) or Fabaceae–Caesalpiniaceae [83].

Descriptions and photographs were produced using Leica and Zeiss Stemi 2000-C stereomicroscopes. Photographs 1a–1d, 1f–1i, 2a–2i, 3a, 3d–3g, 4a–4h, 4j, 5a–5j, 6a–6c, 6i–6m, 7a–7f, 7h–7k, 8a–8k, 9a–9f, 10a–10i, 11a, 11d, 11e, 11h–11j, and 12a–12i were taken by the author, while photographs 1e, 3b, 3c, 3h, 4i, 6d–6g, 7g, 11b, 11c, 11f, 13c, and 13g were received from Ulrich Kotthoff and Eva Vinx (Germany: Hamburg), photographs 5k, 5l, and 6h were received from Didier Berthet (Lyon), photographs 7h, 8d, and 11g were received from Katarzyna Szczepaniak (Poland: Warsaw).

The spectra of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) of some samples were examined with the assistance of N.A. Maslov (Khristianovich Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Siberian Branch of the RAS) to confirm their origin.

Taxa known from amber from references without author examination are included in square brackets whose identity should be clarified by further re-examination.

The systematics of studied taxa are from Legalov’s works [2,3,84,85,86,87,88]. The terminology of weevil morphological structures is based on Lawrence et al. [89].

urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:C6505E9D-720B-44A2-9712-4214

Type species: Melanapion gusakovi Legalov, 2015

Diagnosis. Body length (without rostrum) 1.8–3.1 mm. Body black, slightly elongate, dorsally convex, covered with light, short hairs. Head slightly elongate. Rostrum long, slightly curved, cylindrical. Antennal scrobes weak, directed to under rostrum. Forehead flattened, wider than rostrum base. Eyes large, round, sharply convex. Temples long or short. Antennae inserted ventrally in middle or in basal one-third of rostrum. Scape elongate. Club compact, with distinct sutures between its antennomeres. Pronotum almost campaniform, roughly punctate. Scutellum slightly elongate, distinctly projecting above elytra, obtuse at apex. Elytra elongate, distinctly convex. Striae distinct and deep. Interstriae more or less wide, slightly convex, weakly finely transversely wrinkled or finely punctate. Procoxal cavities contiguous. Mesocoxal cavities separate.

Etymology. The name is formed from the Latin “balticum” (Baltic) and part of the generic name “Apion”. Gender neuter.

Comparison. The new genus differs from the Pseudaspidapion Wanat, 1990 in the scutellum obtuse at apex and more slender body.

Genus Baltoconapium gen. nov.

urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:467EEACE-C4D9-4EFE-BBBF-A16B4B8A1702

Type species: Apion anderseni Voss, 1972

Diagnosis. Body length (without rostrum) 2.0 mm. Body black, naked, lustrous. Head not constricted behind eyes. Antennae and legs brown. Rostrum weakly curved, slightly longer than pronotum. Antennal scrobes weak. Eyes large, rounded. Antennae inserted before middle. Club compact, with distinct sutures between its antennomeres. Pronotum almost campaniform, finely punctate. Elytra almost pear-shaped, stark convex, with weakly humeri. Elytral striae weak with fine points. Interstriae wide, flat, without punctures. Stria 10 absent. Prosternum not emarginate. Pro- and mesocoxal cavities contiguous. Trochanters long. Claws with teeth.

Etymology. The name is formed from the Latin “Baltic” (Baltic) and part of the generic name “Conapium”. Gender neuter.

Comparison. The new genus differs from the Conapium in the contiguous mesocoxal cavities. and almost campaniform pronotum. From the genus Piezotrachelus Schoenherr, 1839 with contiguous mesocoxal cavities it differs in the not emarginate prosternum and head not constricted behind eyes.

Kuschel [90] established synonymy for Paleopissodes weigangae, Anchorthorrhinus incertus (Figure 6d) and Isalcidodes macellus (Figure 6e–g), but he did not study the type of Electrotribus theryi (Figure 5k–l and Figure 6h). Study of photographs, and comparative material showed that Paleopissodes weigangae syn. nov. is synonymous with Electrotribus theryi. Thanks to the help of Dr. A. Nel (Paris), I managed to obtain photographs of the type of Electrotribus theryi from the CCMCL and taken by Didier Berthet (Lyon).

Genus Electrorhinus gen. nov.

urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:F2947E0E-0534-4C6C-A226-3F40689E4FFF

Type species: Electrorhinus friedhelmi sp. nov.

Diagnosis. Body covered with dense decumbent scales. Rostrum quite long, subequal in length to pronotum. Eyes weakly protruding from margin of head, coarsely faceted. Antennae inserted near middle of rostrum, geniculate. Club quite long. Pronotum coarsely rugose, punctate. Elytra weakly convex, with distinct humeri. Elytral stria 9 full. Prosternum with weak postocular lobes. Prosternum with rostral channel bounded by carinae. Apex of rostral channel bounded by carina. Rostral channel reaching mesoventrite. Postcoxal portion of prosternum bounded by carinae. Metaventrite equal in length to metacoxa length, about five times longer than ventrite 3. Sclerolepidia present. Ventrites 1 and 2 long. Ventrites 3 and 4 short. Femora weakly clavate, sulcate beneath, with teeth. Metafemora reaching ventrite 3. Tarsal claws simple.

Comparison. The new genus differs from the recent genus Rhadinomerus Faust, 1892 by the femora sulcate beneath, shorter metafemora reaching only ventrite 3 and short ventrites 3 and 4.

Etymology. The name of the new genus is formed from the Latin “electrum” (amber) and the Greek “rhinos” (nose). Gender masculine.

Remarks.

Type species: Electrocossonus kirejtshuki sp. nov.

Diagnosis. Body covered with decumbent narrow scales. Rostrum shorter than pronotum, without secondary scrobes. Antennal scrobes directed under rostrum. Eyes coarsely faceted, only slightly protruding from margin of head. Antennae inserted in middle of rostrum. Antennomere quite long, not reaching eye. Funicle six-segmented. Antennomere 2 long, conical. Antennomeres 3–8 wide, conical. Antennal club compact. Elytra quite robust. Humeri weakly smoothed. Elytral interstriae as wide as or narrower than width of striae. Prothorax with distinct postocular lobes. Procoxal cavities narrowly separated. Suture between metepisternum and metaventrite strongly convex. Abdomen flattened. Ventrites 1, 2, and 5, long. Ventrites 3 and 4, short. Femora clavate, without tooth. Tarsi elongate, with pulvilli on underside. Tarsomere 3 weakly bilobed. Claws free, simple.

Etymology. The name is formed from the Latin “electrum” (amber) and generic name “Cossonus”. Gender masculine.

Comparison. The new genus differs from other genera of the tribe in the six-segmented funicle. From the genus Caulophilus, it also differs in a more robust body and strongly convex suture between the metepisternum and metaventrite.

Remarks. The new genus belongs to Cossoninae, as it has the protibiae with a notch in the distal half and a row of dense erect setae, metatibiae lacking an apical group of setae and tarsomere 3 weakly bilobate. The rostrum is longer that its width and narrowly separated cavities indicate affinity to Dryotribini.

It is distinguished from the South American genus Megaoculis Pelsue et O’Brien, 2011 by the quite simple claws, small eyes, very long rostrum, slightly enlarged metafemur and body without erect scales.

Remarks. Mandibles are vertically articulated, rostrum long and thin, and femora with teeth suggest that the new genus belongs to Curculionini. Simple free tarsal claws and pygidium covered by elytra in male support its assignment to Timolina.

The Nemonychidae, a small family comprising the oldest weevils [12,84,95,96], is rare in amber [2,97,98,99,100]. Nemonychidae in Baltic amber is represented by one specialized species of a monotypic genus and tribe, which is characterized by more advanced features compared to modern representatives of Cimberidinae. Kuschelomacer kerneggeri is only present in Baltic amber and probably developed on Pinus like the recent species of this subfamily [96,101,102].

Figure 13. Composition of the species in fauna of Eocene amber.

The Anthribidae is quite rare in the fossil record, although it is diverse in modern tropics and subtropics [103]. Representatives of all three modern subfamilies are found in Eocene amber. The Urodontinae was recorded only for Baltic amber [62], but the specimen requires re-study. The Choraginae is found in Rovno amber. The island tribe Valenfriesiini is mainly represented by a monotypic genus. There is no doubt that Choraginae will be found in Baltic amber also. The Anthribinae is found in all Eocene ambers. The monotypic tribe Oiserhinini is described from Oise amber. The genus Glaesotropis from Zygaenodini in Late Eocene amber is the richest in species (10). One species of this genus was found in Rovno amber. Nine species of three subgenera of this genus are described from Baltic amber. G. minor is one of the most common amber Curculionoidea. The Mecocerini, Allandrini, and possibly Tropiderini are noted only in Baltic amber.

The Belidae is a relict group [5,104]. The Belinae are not found in amber. It is possible that, in the Eocene, it was absent in Europe. The Oxycoryninae is represented by several species of the modern genus Oxycraspedus Kuschel, 1955 (tribe Oxycraspedini) and two genera of Metrioxenini. Species of the genus Oxycraspedus that develop on Araucaria [105] are not yet discovered in Baltic amber. Succinometrioxena poinari is one of the common Curculionoidea of Baltic amber. Probably, like modern Metrioxenini [105], fossil species developed on palm trees. The Belidae only appears in Baltic amber.

The Rhynchitidae is rare in the fossil record [2]. The Sayrevilleinae is represented by Sanyrevilleini with five species of the genus Baltocar. It is absent in French and Rovno ambers. Two tribes, Auletini and Rhynchitini, are found in Late Eocene amber. The modern genus Pseudomesauletes, which is known from the Oriental region, Africa, Madagascar, North and Central America, and the terminal Eocene of USA [106], is represented by one species in Rovno amber. Four species from four extinct genera are also described in Baltic amber. The genus Electrauletes is similar to the modern Mediterranean genus Auletes Schoenherr, 1826 and probably also developed on Cupressaceae [107]. The genus Eoropseudauletes belongs to Pseudauletina of Auletinini that is now widespread only in the Neotropics [106]. Representatives of the advanced tribes Deporaini and Byctiscini were not found in the fossil state.

The Brentidae is represented in the Eocene ambers by the subfamilies Apioninae and Nanophyinae. The Apioninae is found in Oise and Baltic ambers. The genus Palaeotanaos with one species from the monotypic tribe Palaeotanaini is described from Oise amber, where it is the most common of the Curculionoidea [20]. The Baltic amber Apioninae fauna is quite rich and represented by 11 species from eight genera of Rhadinocybini, Notapionini, Aspidapiini, Kalcapiini and Piezotrachelini. The genera Pseudaspidapion, Melanapion and Conapium are represented in the modern fauna. The Nanophyinae was found only in Baltic amber, where it is represented by one primitive genus. The remaining subfamilies of the brentid family are absent in amber, although Brentinae is recorded from the Middle Eocene deposits of Germany [107,108,109,110].

The Curculionidae is the largest family of weevils in the modern fauna and also the largest family found in amber. Eight subfamilies (Erirhininae, Molytinae, Lixinae, Dryophthorinae, Cossoninae, Conoderinae, Curculioninae, and Entiminae) are found in Eocene amber (Figure 14). The Cyclominae is extremely rare in the fossil record [2] and is not found in amber. Unfortunately, 13 tribes, from 40 tribes, noted in Baltic amber are known only from records [57,61] and their presence in amber requires confirmation. The Erirhininae is represented by Erirhinini, Dorytomini, and Bagoini. The most diverse species of the genus Dorytomus, which are associated with Salicaceae, are found in Late Eocene amber. The Molytinae has nine tribes. These are forms confined to wood or plant litter. In Rovno amber, only Cryptorhynchini is noted, which is also found in Oise and Baltic amber. The Acicnemidini, Pissodini, Magdalinini, Molytini, Plinthini, Mecysolobini, and Aedemonini are known only in Baltic amber. The genus Electrotribus, one of the most widespread genera in Baltic amber, is absent in other ambers. The Lixinae is known only by record of the genus Lixus in Baltic amber. The Dryophthorinae is a diverse, mostly tropical group. Extant representatives of Dryophthorini and Stromboscerini that live under the bark of trees were found in all ambers. Free-living forms are not noted. Representatives of Cossoninae are common in Eocene and Miocene ambers [2,111,112]. They are also common in Rovno and Baltic amber, which explains their relationship with wood. Cossonines are not found in Oise amber. The Conoderinae is very rare in amber. Several species of the genus Ceutorhynchus develop on herbaceous vegetation, and one species of the genus Baltocoeliodes in Baltic amber is probably associated with woody angiosperms. An undescribed species of the genus Ceutorhynchus was discovered in Rovno amber. Representative of Conoderini are only found in the earliest Eocene Oise amber. The Bariditae is absent in Eocene ambers, but it is one of the usual forms in the Early–Middle Eocene Green River deposits and terminal Eocene of the Florissant [113,114]. The Curculioninae is diverse only in Baltic amber, where species from Curculionini, Ellescini, Anthonomini, Eugnomini, Rhamphini, Mecinini, Tychiini, and Camarotini are represented. It can be noted that Eugnomini is now distributed in the Chilean–Patagonian and Australian regions, and Camarotini in the New World. The extinct genus of Acalyptini is described from Oise amber. Protoceletes hirtus belonging to this subfamily was found in Rovno amber. The largest modern Entiminae is relatively poorly represented in amber. Only one species from Eudiagogini is described from Oise amber. Several species from Naupactini and Anypotactini are known in Rovno amber. Baltic amber Entiminae is more diverse. Representatives of Hyperini, Sitonini, Tropiphorini, Anypotactini, Naupactini, Polydrusini, and Trachyphloeini also are found in Baltic amber. Species of the genus Paonaupactus are common Baltic amber weevils. The earliest Eocene Oise amber is very different from Late Eocene amber. None of the known genera in Oise amber are found in Baltic and Rovno ambers. The South African tribe Conoderini and the American extinct tribe Sciabregmini and Recent Eudiagogini are not found in Late Eocene amber. Rovno amber at the tribal level is a depleted version of Baltic amber. While all the genera, excluding Stenommatomorphus, are general, all species are different.

Figure 14. Composition of the subfamilies of Curculionidae from Eocene amber.

The Platypodidae was recently discovered in Baltic amber. This is the extinct genus Eoplatypus with one species and the close American genus Cenocephalus with one species. The rarity of the Platypodidae fundamentally distinguishes the weevil faunas in Dominican and Baltic amber. Platypodidae is a massive group in Dominican amber [115].

The Scolytidae is a widely distributed group. Representatives of bark beetles from Oise amber are not described [20]. The fauna of Scolytidae of Rovno and Baltic amber is very different. Twenty-one species of bark beetles are described from Baltic amber. There are mainly species of the genera Hylurgops and Phloeosinus. Both of these genera are absent in Rovno amber. The Rovno amber genera, such as Xylechinus and Klesovia, were not found in Baltic amber. The genus Taphramites is common in both ambers, but it is represented by different species in Baltic and Rovno amber. Representatives of Hylesininae dominate in both ambers. The Scolytinae is represented by two genera of Dryocoetini.

To summarize, we can say that there are few similarities between the faunas of the earliest Eocene Oise amber and Late Eocene ambers. Rovno amber can be regarded as a depleted variant of Baltic amber, with no common species in their respective faunas.
