TL;DR: A taxonomic review of the West Indian elements of Apenes LeConte is conducted, including a classification, a key to species, descriptions of taxa, re-rankings, and new synonymy.
Abstract: Primarily a taxonomic review of the West Indian elements of Apenes LeConte, this paper includes a classification, a key to species, descriptions of taxa, re-rankings, and new synonymy. In total, 45 species and subspecies are treated, 14 (11 species, three subspecies) of which are described as new. The taxa are arranged in the following sequence, with type localities of new species and subspecies in parentheses following the name of the taxon. The seven species of the Apenes variegata species group are included in two species complexes: A. variegata species complex, with A. variegata (Dejean), A. marginalis (Dejean), A. coriacea (Chevrolat), and A. sulcicollis (Jacquelin du Val); and A. morio species complex, with A. parallela (Dejean) (including the subspecies A. p. parallela (Dejean), A. p. inaguae Darlington, and A. p. sublaevis Darlington), A. portoricensis Darlington, and A. morio (Dejean). The A. sculpticeps species group is monobasic in the West Indies, including A. sculpticeps, new species...

TL;DR: New Minnesota records for 13 genera and 100 species of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae), reflecting 21% and 31% increases, respectively, over records in the literature are reported, recognizing the significance of institutional holdings as a source of information for studies of native biodiversity.
Abstract: We report new Minnesota records for 13 genera and 100 species of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae), reflecting 21% and 31% increases, respectively, over records in the literature. There are now 76 genera and 433 carabid species recorded from Minnesota. New material was collected from sub-boreal forest study sites in northeastern and central Minnesota. We also surveyed 16 museum collections and private collections in the United States with an emphasis on collections in the north central region and those likely to contain Minnesota records. New generic records for Minnesota from the museum collections include Paratachys Casey, Nomius Laporte, Platypatrobus Darlington, Gastrellarius Casey, Lophoglossus LeConte, Pseudamara Lindroth, Panagaeus Latreille, Dicheirotrichus Jacquelin du Val, Discoderus LeConte, Leptotrachelus Latreille, Tetragonoderus Dejean, Apenes LeConte, and Axinopalpus LeConte. New species records from the field surveys in northeastern and central Minnesota include Notiophilus aquaticus (Linnaeus), Sphaeroderus nitidicollis brevoorti LeConte, Trechus crassiscapus Lindroth, Bembidion mutatum Gemminger & Harold, Bembidion wingatei Bland, Patrobus foveocollis (Eschscholtz), Patrobus septentrionis Dejean, Pterostichus melanarius (Illiger), Amara coelebs Hayward, Pseudamara arenaria (LeConte), Bradycellus semipubescens Lindroth, Harpalus ventralis LeConte, Agonum affine Kirby, and Agonum trigeminum Lindroth. In addition, we highlight the special role of P. melanarius as an invasive beetle. Since many of the new records were based on specimens stored in research entomological collections, we recognize the significance of institutional holdings as a source of information for studies of native biodiversity.

TL;DR: Ball and Shpeley (2009), in their recent exhaustive review of the Caribbean fauna of Apenes, recorded this species from the Bahamas, Cuba, and the Cayman Islands.
Abstract: Ball and Shpeley (2009), in their recent exhaustive review of the Caribbean fauna of Apenes, recorded this species from the Bahamas, Cuba, and the Cayman Islands. The following specimens comprise new USA and Florida records for A. parallela parallela: 1, “FLORIDA: Miami-Dade Co., Homestead 17-VII-2009, R. Duncan, Peña, Crane, Ref. #35.09”; 1, “FLORIDA: Dade Co., Miami 5-X-2010 Coll. H. Escobar”; 1, “FLORIDA: Dade Co. Miami 21-XII-2010 coll. S. Delgado multi-lure trap in Manilkara sapota”.
