Weevils (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea) of the State National Natural Park "Ulytau" and adjacent territories, Kazakhstan. Report 1.

Abstract

The results of primary studies of the fauna of weevils (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea) in the "Ulytau" State National Natural Park and in adjacent territories are presented. In total, 54 species, 40 genera and four families of weevil beetles are recorded, including 2 species Anthribidae, 3 species Attelabidae, 10 species Brentidae and 39 species Curculionidae. In the territory of the National park, 53 species of weevils belonging to 41 genera from 4 families (Anthribidae, Attelabidae, Brentidae and Curculionidae) are recorded. For the adjacent territories, 39 species of weevils belonging to 30 genera from 3 families (Anthribidae, Brentidae and Curculionidae) are recorded. Dryophthorus corticalis (Paykull, 1792) is firstly recorded from Kazakhstan. The distribution in Kazakstan of several other species of weevils (Platystomos albinus (Fabricius, 1758), Perapion affine (Kirby, 1808), Allomalia quadrivirgata (Costa, 1863), Eremoxenus chan Semenow-Tian-Schanskij, 1892, Polydrusus piliferus Hochhuth, 1847, Orchestes alni (Linnaeus, 1758), are Orchestes jota Fabricius, 1787) are clarified.

Introduction

State National Natural Park "Ulytau" is located in the Ulytau region of Kazakhstan. Founded in accordance with the Decree of the Government of Kazakhstan No. 867 dated December 7, 2021 through the reorganization of the Ulytau forest and wildlife protection enterprise (Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated December 7, 2021 No. 867 2023). The park was created to restore and preserve ecosystems and natural complexes of the Ulytau mountain-steppe massif, as well as increase the tourism potential of the region. The head office is located in the village of Ulytau, 133 km from the regional center – the city of Zhezkazgan, with which it is connected by a highway. The area of the national natural park is 58.9 thousand hectares, the forested part is 7.918 hectares. The territory includes both meadow and steppe biotopes with lakes, rivers and artificial reservoirs, and the slopes of the Ulytau Mountains – an ancient low mountain range in the southwest of the Kazakh hills. The ridge is composed predominantly of granites. The slopes are dissected by gorges of temporary streams, bare and rocky. On the slopes there is predominantly steppe vegetation, in places in moist depressions there are birch and aspen groves, in rock crevices there are steppe grasses, wormwood, and ephedra; on rocky screes – shrubs. Extends of ridge is 200 km from north to south. The highest point is Mount Akmeshit, 1133 m above sea level. There are branches in the neighborhoods of the villages of Korgasyn, Sarlyk, Koskol and the Satpayev city (Specially Protected Natural Areas of the Republic of Kazakhstan 2023).

Weevils (Curculionoidea Latreille, 1802) are the largest group of phytophagous beetles. Approximately 97 000 species of weevils are known, incl. family Anthribidae Billberg, 1820, Attelabidae Billberg, 1820, Brentidae Billberg, 1820, Nemonychidae Bedel, 1882, Cimberididae Gozis, 1882, Caridae Thompson, 1992, Belidae Schönherr, 1826 and Curculionidae Latreille, 1802, at the same time, the taxonomy of the superfamily is a subject of debate. New species and genus are described every year, so the number indicated is not final (Legalov 2021; Legalov 2022a, b; Legalov and Kozlov 2023). Beetles of this superfamily are distributed all over the world. The group is represented by multispecies complexes in almost all natural (terrestrial, arboreal, soil, semiaquatic, freshwater etc.) and anthropogenic ecosystems. Many weevils are dangerous pests because of their ability to damage and kill crops, trees and busch, as well as storage grain and other products.

The fauna of weevils of the State National Natural Park "Ulytau" has been practically not studied. There is separate information on the adjacent territories of Ulytau oblast and neighboring regions of Central Kazakhstan (Arnoldi 1964; Baytenov 1974; Legalov 2017a, b; Kazenas and Baizhanov 2009; Temreshev et al. 2014; Temreshev 2023a; Temreshev et al. 2023). However, a general checklist of the above group for this specially protected natural area has not yet existed.

Materials and methods

The material was collected from May to August 2023 in Central Kazakhstan, Ulytau oblast. Standard techniques (Fasulati 1971) used in entomology were used during the collection of the material.

The material was collected were determined autor. Studied specimens are kept in the private collection of I.I. Temreshev (Almaty, Kazakhstan).

The taxonomy of weevils is given mostly in accordance with Cooperative catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera Curculionoidea. Work Version 3.1 (Alonso-Zarazaga et al. 2023).

The plants that the material was collected were determined using special literature (Flora of Kazakhstan 1956; 1958; 1960; 1961a, b; 1963; 1964; 1965; 1966).

Photographs of weevils and their habitat were taken with a camera Redmi 7, Canon EOS 50 D and microscope Levenhuk DTX RC by author (Figs 2, 4). Descriptions and body measuring were performed using a Micromed MC var 1-C dissecting stereomicroscope and microscope Levenhuk DTX RC.

For convenience as well as some geographical and administrative terms: UO – Ulytau oblast, Ud. – Ulytau district, ex. – exemplar, mt. – mounts, nei. – neighborhoods, v. – village and the initials of the collector: IT – I.I. Temreshev.

Subfamily Dryophthorinae Schoenherr, 1825

29. Dryophthorus corticalis (Paykull, 1792) (Fig. 4I). This species develops to wood of coniferous and deciduous species, occasionally in the forest floor. An as sociation with anthills of ants of the genus Lasius has been noted. It often lives near anthills, but whether there is a connection between ants and this beetle is not known for certain. The larva is thought to feed on dead wood but beyond this little is known of the beetle’s biology. Despite its wide distribution the species is generally very local and considered to be rare e.g. in Germany and the United Kingdom it is classed as endangered and in Denmark critically so, but the general lack of records may be at least partly due to its cryptic lifestyle and the lack of appropriate sampling (Pešić 2011).

Material examined. 2 ex. – 24.08.2023, UO, Ud, nei. Korgasyn v. 2, birch forest, under bark in rotten wood of dead European white birch B. pendula, IT.

Remarks. D. corticalis is distributed in Palearctic Region in Europe (Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finlandia, France, Georgia, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine) and Asia (Far East (Primorskii Krai), Japan and Korea). The species is also noted in Afrotropical Region, Australian Region and Nearctic Region (Egorov 1976; Egorov et al 1996; Lyal 2011; Prena 2018; Legalov 2020; Alonso-Zarazaga et al 2023; Dryophthorus corticalis (Paykull & G.de, 1792) in GBIF Secretariat (2023)). It is firstly recorded from Kazakhstan (Fig. 5).

Note. The species was found along with lined flat bark beetles (Laemophloeidae) – Placonotus testaceus (Fabricius, 1787), pleasing fungus beetles (Erotylidae) – Dacne bipustulata (Thunberg, 1781), Triplax russica (Linnaeus, 1758) and hairy fungus beetles (Mycetophagidae) – Litargus connexus (Geoffroy, 1785), Mycetophagus multipunctatus Fabricius, 1792, false skin beetles (Biphyllidae) – Biphyllus lunatus (Fabricius, 1787) for which the Ulytau Oblast is also a new distribution records in Kazakhstan (Temreshev 2011b; 2019; 2022; 2023a; 2024). No anthills of of ants of the genus Lasius were noted nearby, but an anthill of European fire ant Myrmica rubra (Linnaeus, 1758) was found next to the examined tree. The birch tree in which the beetle was found was infected mushroom King Alfred's cake Daldinia concentrica (Bolton) Cesati et Notaris.

Conclusion

Based on the results of primary studies of the fauna of weevils (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea) in the State National Natural Park "Ulytau" and in the surrounding areas, a total of 54 species, 40 genera and 4 families of weevil beetles have been recorded, incl. 2 species Anthribidae, 3 species Attelabidae, 10 species Brentidae and 39 species Curculionidae. In the territory of the National park, 53 species of weevils belonging to 41 genera from 4 families (Anthribidae, Attelabidae, Brentidae and Curculionidae) have been recorded. For the adjacent territories, 39 species of weevils belonging to 30 genera from 3 families (Anthribidae, Brentidae and Curculionidae) were recorded. The finds of D. corticalis from Ulytau Oblast of Central Kazakhstan are currently first record this species in Kazakhstan and for Central Asia. Since the species was discovered in Central Kazakhstan, it can be assumed that in the future it will be found in the west and north of the country. The distribution in Kazakhstan of several other species of weevils has been clarified. Some of them (Allomalia quadrivirgata (Costa, 1863), Eremoxenus chan Semenow-Tian-Schanskij, 1892, Polydrusus piliferus Hochhuth, 1847) were previously found only in the southern and southeastern parts of the country. Other species of weevils (Platystomos albinus (Fabricius, 1758), Perapion affine (Kirby, 1808), Orchestes alni (Linnaeus, 1758), Orchestes jota Fabricius, 1787) were previously discovered in the north and west of Kazakhstan. This shows the need for further study of the weevil fauna of both Central Kazakhstan as a whole and of State National Natural Park "Ulytau". New interesting finds cannot be excluded.
