Do you have any observations on this species - features of biology, habitat (biotope), etc. Post it right here, everyone is interested.

17.02.2007 14:07, omar

Yes, and it seems to be written like this: Cymindis... wink.gif

I can also add that they are found in open, dry areas. I collected in a mixed forest in a clearing, in meadows (on dry areas more often, on wetlands there was only one find during the drought period). They hide in cracks in the ground and hunt on the surface at night. They are not very common in our region. In terms of nutrition, I can't say for sure (most likely, small caterpillars, mites). If you have more accurate data, I would be grateful! smile.gif

Soil-sand? See amazing finds. Close view. Ground beetles of this genus are very rare in central Russia. Only in the steppe and forest-steppe zones do biorhythmics occur permanently.

No, I haven't found anything yet on sandy soils (in pre-coastal biotopes, and in floodplain meadows with sandy soils). Although I have been setting traps in such places for several years now.

There are almost no traps. confused.gif

I took several copies with my hands under lying objects (sticks, boards). He doesn't go into traps often. Interestingly, the Amazing Finds forum really deals with finds on sandy soils. It was strange then that I had never seen this species in floodplain forests on sandy soils. I would even say that it tends to brown forest soils. We need to watch! smile.gif

This genus is almost completely confined to DRY stations. They don't like humidity very much. I think that this explains the lack of them in floodplain forests.

17.02.2007 16:29, Dinusik

Maybe. But then the finds would have been found only in dry meadows (or on the slopes of hills in the main southern exposure). And it comes across sometimes in mixed forests. I wouldn't say it's very dry.
What biotopes have you found this species in?

In the Yaroslavl region, a series of specimens of a species from this genus were collected by soil traps on a large sandy island on the Volga. I didn't collect it, so I don't know exactly what type and conditions of capture. But the islands are usually not very dry...

It is quite possible that the island, due to its large size, is not completely flooded with water in the spring. Dina, this is a species I've never collected before. That's why I'm asking. If, Elizar, you will be able to find out the species and the details of its detection (biotope), please send them to area mapping. moderator.gifThe find is very interesting.

I suggest that you pay attention to this species (and the genus as a whole) in the next field season. I feel that it has not been studied enough yet. Then you can share the results. I think they should be interesting. smile.gif

It seems that Nikitsky collected Cymindis vaporariorum in Konobeyevo on a dry meadow with traps

Good photos and a cool bug!

I don't remember whether you wrote or not: what and how do you shoot (I mean mounted beetle)? Can I use EXIF here? shuffle.gif

I found the same beetle on my mattresses, only my pronotum is darker. How interesting is this view? Provide data?

Of course provide!

08.03.2007 14:24, omar

Provide! But the Moldavian god allows you to find a whole range of similar species, quite common in the steppe region. Actually, I have already mentioned this.

08.03.2007 18:41, RippeR

28.06.2006 Miceuc. I don't remember exactly where I caught it, like under logs in the woods.
And so, let's start: it was a clear sunny day, I had a good night's sleep and decided to go hunting in the apiary. Brzelki flew, beautiful flowers, near the forest and almost none of the people. I go, look at what is where, here is Phytoetia on the plant stem, cerambyx scapoli on the flowers of bushes, fieberi, affinis, aurats and other bronzes circling in the same place. I go into the forest, walk along the path, looking carefully at nature. I see the logs are old. Well, I started to flip. I look at the pterostichus, turn around again and see nebria. And, apparently, under one and tsinidis zasidalas. lol.gif lol.gif

Although, if the species is able to fly, then it can fly to the light. lol.gif

Yes, comprehensive information! Are you sure, dear Ripper, that you really had a good night's sleep before this hunting trip?!! lol.gif lol.gif lol.gif

I suggest that the moderator select the Cymindis genus in a separate topic and put all the information on them there. I mean, first of all, the drawing of Dinusik. You can do the same with steeds by adding Bianor totals to a new theme.

09.03.2007 10:32, Dinusik

Good idea!

Cymindis vaporariorum I came across in pine forests-green mosses and white mosses in the Middle Ob region (the valley of the Glubokiy Sabun river). Not often, really. What about Cymindis macularis? Who knows how far south it goes?

C. macularis in Europe, as far as I know, is found in the northeast. If we talk about my home Leningrad region, it is marked only in the north.

Understood. And in what biotopes?

30.05.2007 22:36, Nilson

Well, according to Kataev B. M. " it lives on sands with vegetation that does not form a closed cover. It is most often found on dunes and open sandy clearings in light pine forests. "

Thank you very much! And in Western Siberia - even in areas with strong anthropogenic pressure, for example, near oil wells.

This season I caught two species of the genus Cymindis:
Cymindis collaris was caught on a steep slope along the shore of Lake Baikal, there are a couple of specimens for exchange.
Cymindis binotata caught in the steppe, under a piece of wood.

05.06.2007 15:46, guest: paleobeetle

I'm interested in Cymindis mannerheimi. As far as I know, it lives in the mountains - Altai, Tien Shan... Does it go out to the plains?

06.06.2007 9:09, Mylabris

I only came across it at altitudes of 2800-3400 meters.

06.06.2007 16:09, guest: paleobeetle

Does Cymindis arcticus look like it? I do not have it in my collection, but in paleontological materials (age from 24 thousand years ago and earlier) from the lower reaches of Tavda (Tyumen region) there are elytra similar to mannerheimi. Could it be Cymindis arcticus?

08.06.2007 7:38, Mylabris

I didn't see Arcticus. I'll look at Mannerheim in my boxes, take a picture and put it on display.

I can say that Cymindis macularis reaches the borders of the forest-steppe in the European part of Russia.

08.06.2007 16:10, guest: paleobeetle

I would be very grateful for the photos of C. mannerheimi. Is there any evidence in the literature that macularis reaches the borders of the forest-steppe?

08.06.2007 16:14, guest: paleobeetle

I am also interested in Cymindis faldermanni - I caught it in Transbaikalia in the dry steppes. And how far does it go to the west and east?

09.06.2007 8:12, omar

I would be very grateful for the photos of C. mannerheimi. Is there any evidence in the literature that macularis reaches the borders of the forest-steppe?

macularis is collected in the south of the Moscow region, in the Kolomna and Lukhovitsky districts. This is indicated in the list of Fedorenko as well. It seems that there is an indication of the presence of the species in the Tula region in the corresponding list.

10.06.2007 9:50, guest: paleobeetle

And this list of Fedorenko, is it published somewhere?
