The possible establishment of this alien species in Italy is briefly discussed.

Citizen science (CS) data have been used in quantitative ecology to analyse species ranges by means of species distribution models. We investigated the Italian distribution of five large saproxylic beetles (big five), to describe their niche space, paramount areas for their conservation, and conservation gaps. Methods. CS data from two projects, climate and environmental variables were used to produce Habitat suitability (HS) maps for each species and averaged HS maps. The big five’s conservation status was assessed interpolating HS maps with the distribution of protected areas, concomitantly identifying conservation gaps. Results. The pre-alpine and Apennines arcs, north-eastern Sicily and eastern Sardinia, were identified as conservation’s hotspots. Ranking HS levels from minimum to optimal, the extent of conservation gaps decreases as environmental suitability for the big five increases....

Ten species are recorded with certainty from this Archipelago, of which 6 namely, Trogoxylon impressum (Comolli, 1837), Amphicerus bimaculatus (A.G.

Coniocleonus (Plagiographus) cicatricosus</i&gt... more Coniocleonus (Plagiographus) cicatricosus (Hoppe, 1795) Curculio cicatricosus Hoppe, 1795: 61. Curculio spinosus Ponza, 1805: 63, pl. 1, Lin. 1[.2] Curculio spinosus Ponza was overlooked for a long time until Weise (1906) referred it with doubt to Coniocleonus cicatricosus (Hoppe, 1795), an opinion formally adopted by Csiki (1934). An anonymous hand-written note (cited by Dutto et al. 2009: 428) associated the name with Plagiographus Chevrolat, 1869. Curculio spinosus is currently a junior synonym of Coniocleonus (Plagiographus) cicatricosus (Hoppe, 1795) (Alonso-Zarazaga et al. 2017: 425). The name is permanently invalid since it is a junior primary homonym of C. spinosus Goeze, 1777 and C. spinosus Gmelin, 1790. Coniocleonus cicatricosus is recorded from most mainland regions of Italy and Sicily (Abbazzi & Maggini 2009: 74, as Stephanocleonus (S.) cicatricosus).

Elateroides dermestoides (Linnaeus, 1761) Cantharis dermestoides</... more Elateroides dermestoides (Linnaeus, 1761) Cantharis dermestoides Linnaeus 1761: 201. Lymexylon proboscideum Fabricius 1781: 256. Hylecoetus gamoclopus De Cristofori & Jan 1832: 25, syn. nov. Hylecoetus minor Grimmer 1841: 16, 37, 50, syn. nov. Remarks. Hylecoetus gamoclopus De Cristofori & Jan, 1832, from " It. bor. [= Italia borealis = northern Italy]", was given as an unnecessary new name for " dermestoides &female; " and " proboscideus &male; " (De Cristofori & Jan 1832: 25). As Cantharis dermestoides Linnaeus, 1761, and Lymexylon proboscideum Fabricius, 1781 are subjective synonyms (Cuccodoro 2007), it follows that Hylecoetus gamoclopus De Cristofori & Jan, 1832 is a junior objective synonym of Elateroides dermestoides (Linnaeus, 1761) syn. nov. Hylecoetus minor Grimmer, 1841 comes from Styria. In its short original description (Grimmer 1841: 37), it was compared to " gamoclopus ", i.e. Hylecoetus gamoclopus De Cristofori & Jan, 1832 (cf. Grimmer 1841: 16, as " Hylecoetus gamoclopus de Cr. "). This last name is a junior objective synonym of Elateroides dermestoides (Linnaeus, 1761) (see above). Grimmer (1841: 50), in a note at the end of his book, considering the sexual dimorphism and the morphological variability of the taxa close to H. minor, seems to doubt its validity. Elateroides dermestoides is the sole species of Lymexylidae: Hylecoetinae Gistel, 1856 known from Austria (cf. Cuccodoro 2007; Kopecký & Mikát 2012). This species shows a great morphological (colour and size) variability (cf. Baudi 1873; Bollow 1940; Wheeler, 1986, in all cases as Hylecoetus dermestoides), and on the basis of the description of Grimmer (1841) and the study of many specimens (cf. Nardi et al. 2009), the following new synonym is established: Elateroides dermestoides (Linnaeu [...]
