Eustrophopsis bicolor

Eustrophopsis bicolor (Fabricius, 1798) (Figs 5, 12, 21, 29) Mycetophagus bicolor Fabricius, 1798: 497 (type (s) not examined); Melsheimer, 1853: 143; Le- Conte, 1873: 335; Provancher, 1877: 467; Horn, 1888: 35; Weiss, 1919: 133; Leng, 1920: 238; Csiki, 1924: 8; Viedma 1971; Poole and Gentili 1996: 299; LeSage 1991: 246. According to LeConte (1873: 335) “the proper authority for this species is Say, its first describer; Mycetophagus bicolor Fabr. is probably a Platydema ”. I have seen no other such reference, and all sources consulted have listed Fabricius as the author of this species; this was done even by Say (1826). Diagnosis Members of this species are readily distinguished by the following combination of features: outer surface of meso- and metatibiae with numerous transverse ridges; eyes narrowly separated; much of ventral surface reddish, contrasting darker dorsal color; antennomere 11 yellow-red, exhibiting a distinct contrast to antennomeres 5-10. Description TL 4.2-6.5 mm; GEW 2.0- 3.2 mm. Body (Fig. 5) elongate oval, moderately tapered posteriorly; dorsal color dark piceous to black; antennae tricolored: antennomeres 1-4 red, 5-10 piceous, antennomere 11 yellow-red, distinctly contrasting against preceding darker antennomeres; maxillary palpi similar in color to basal antennomeres; venter a combination of dark (same as dorsum) and lighter colored sclerites (abdominal ventrites in most specimens contrasting darker color of thorax); dorsal pubescence relatively long, conspicuous; eyes narrowly separated (Fig. 12), or almost contiguous (space Distribution (Fig. 29) Th is is one of the most widely distributed Nearctic species of Eustrophinae, with a primarily eastern distribution. In Canada, it has not been collected west of Winnipeg, MB and extends east to Quebec. In the United States, it seems to have a mainly eastern distribution, although specimens have been collected in Arizona, California and Idaho. Specimens are also known from Mexico. US distribution: AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, NC, ND, NE, NJ, NM, NY, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, VA, VT, WI, WV, WY. Natural history Chantal (1985: 53) noted the species as occurring under dead tree bark and also gave the following as fungal substrates on which adults were collected: Pleurotus sapidus, Polyporus squamosus, P. betulinus, P. versicolor, P. confragosa. Adults of E. bicolor are known to be often found in the same micro-habitats as S. repandus (Chantal 1985; Pollock, pers. observ.). In the summer of 2005, the author found multiple adults of E. bicolor and S. repandus on and in a rotting fungusy log near Lockport, MB. From 2006 to 2008, specimens were collected on the same log; in the summer of 2008, E. bicolor was absent, but S. repandus were still present.
