    Over the last decade, culture-independent surveys of marine picoeukaryotic diversity based on 18S ribosomal DNA clone libraries have unveiled numerous sequences of novel high-rank taxa. This newfound diversity has significantly altered our understanding of marine microbial food webs and the evolution of eukaryotes. However, the current picture of marine eukaryotic biodiversity may be significantly skewed by PCR amplification biases, occurrence of rDNA genes in multiple copies within a single cell, and the capacity of DNA to persist as extracellular material. In this study we performed an analysis of the metagenomic dataset from the Global Ocean Survey (GOS) expedition, seeking eukaryotic ribosomal signatures. This PCR-free approach revealed similar phylogenetic patterns to clone library surveys, suggesting that PCR steps do not impose major biases in the exploration of environmental DNA. The different cell size fractions within the GOS dataset, however, displayed a distinct picture. High protistan diversity in the <0.8 µm size fraction, in particular sequences from radiolarians and ciliates (and their absence in the 0.8–3 µm fraction), suggest that most of the DNA in this fraction comes from extracellular material from larger cells. In addition, we compared the phylogenetic patterns from rDNA and reverse transcribed rRNA 18S clone libraries from the same sample harvested in the Mediterranean Sea. The libraries revealed major differences, with taxa such as pelagophytes or picobiliphytes only detected in the 18S rRNA library. MAST (Marine Stramenopiles) appeared as potentially prominent grazers and we observed a significant decrease in the contribution of alveolate and radiolarian sequences, which overwhelmingly dominated rDNA libraries. The rRNA approach appears to be less affected by taxon-specific rDNA copy number and likely better depicts the biogeochemical significance of marine protists

    Octocollis gen. n. Differential diagnosis. Males of Octocollis have a unique combination of relevant and easily visible characters that readily distinguish it from other Australian cetoniine genera and species (Table 1). table is only valid for males since females of Octocollis are unknown. Remark: 1 except in Clithria bacchusi (Allard, 1995). 1871, 1886 1914, Macleay 1842 Poll, Lea ,Burmeister de van fossor hirticeps Kirby, 1825 Octocollis Clithria Neoclithria Pseudoclithria Pseudoclithria Schizorhina Mesometasternal process almost absent Antennal club large, at least as long as head Pronotum almost circular Pronotum widest at midlength, base constricted Elongate mesotarsomere and metatarsomere, longer than mesotibia and metatibia 1 Complex genitalia, parameres with appendages Elytra completely and evenly setose Humeral emargination indistinct Type species. Octocollis setosus new species, here designated. Description. Male (Fig. 1). Head (Fig. 3) Clypeus quadrate, weakly divergent post antennal insertion; gena (lateral declivity) vertical; lateral margins non-parallel, moderately raised and broadly arcuate to apex; clypeus and frons pilose. Antenna with 10 antennomeres; club with 3 antennomeres, at least as long as head. Thorax. Pronotum weakly 8 -sided, at distance appearing subcircular, weakly transverse; basal lobe obsolete, weakly sinuate; posterolateral angle obtuse; lateral margin convex, widest at midlength; surface densely punctate, setose. Scutellum slightly longer than wide. Elytron weakly bicostate (not counting sutural costa), covering abdominal sternites; posthumeral emargination shallow, sweeping, only laterally visible; entirely covered in setae. Metacoxa barely exposed. Mesepimeron clearly visible dorsally adjacent to elytra; sutural costa margin linear-punctate terminating adjacent to apex of scutellum. Mesometasternal process (Fig. 5) undeveloped. Metasternum 2.5 times as wide as long. Legs (Fig. 4). Long; combined length of mesotibia and mesotarsi and combined length of metatibia and metatarsi longer than elytra. Profemur entirely laterally flattened, weakly attenuate, subparallel.

Krikken (1984) noted that he had seen Australian specimens with approximated mesocoxa as well as oddities and undescribed forms that would require new genera to be established. He confirmed that Octocollis setosus is among these and needs to be placed in a new genus (J. Krikken, personal communication). Octocollis is herewith assigned to the tribe Schizorhinini. Etymology. The genus name Octocollis is derived from the Latin words octo, meaning eight, and collum, meaning neck. The combination of words identifies a beetle with an eight-sided neck shield.Published as part of Moeseneder, Christian H. & Hutchinson, Paul M., 2012, Octocollis, a new genus and Octocollis setosus, a new species of Cetoniinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) from Queensland, Australia, pp. 40-48 in Zootaxa 3557 on pages 41-42, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21232

Variation in paratypes. Males. Length 18.5–24.5 mm, width 10.0– 13.8 mm. Coloration consistent within type series. Females. Length 22.0– 25.5 mm, width 12.6 –14.0 mm. Discussion. In approximately 87 % of described Australian Schizorhinini, males and females are similar enough in behavior and appearance that sex determination requires close inspection. For these species, the flowers of blooming Myrtaceae in particular not only provide food (specifically nectar and pollen) but serve as a meeting ground and mating location. The effort required for males to locate females is low and the males antennae consequently are only slightly larger than those of females since they are probably not used in locating females. Netting these flowers usually yields approximately equal numbers of male and female specimens. Extensive and easily visible sexual dimorphism in Australian Schizorhinini is known from the genera Diaphonia, Hemichnoodes Kraatz, 1880, the species Pseudoclithria fossor (Lea, 1914), Grandaustralis boomerang and an undescribed species that will be described later by the authors. While females of Octocollis setosus Moeseneder & Hutchinson, 2012 are unknown it is likely that the species also falls into this group since collecting on flowers for almost 50 years has not produced any females. The two sexes of these taxa, except Hemichnoodes, also show very different behavior. Carne (1974) observed that within the Australian Scarabaeidae very similar patterns of behavioral and morphological specialisation between the sexes evolved independently in at least the subfamilies Dynastinae, Melolonthinae and Rutelinae. Many of these dimorphic traits are consistent with those observed in G. boomerang and the group of sexually dimorphic species: development of sensory organs and searching flight behavior in males; infrequent occurrence, reduced flight and sedentariness in females. It could not be determined whether females release pheromones but this is likely. Several morphological and behavioral adaptations of male G. boomerang seem to be related to reproduction, particularly the task of locating females: the large number of specimens, size of antennae (few cetoniine species have antennae as large), constant searching flight behavior and fasting at the adult stage. Upon their discovery the authors initially believed female specimens of G. boomerang to be Dynastinae as they are black, stocky and well adapted to burying. Krikken’s key (Krikken 1984) considers the shape of the pronotum as a character in separating Schizorhinini from Cetoniini. Based on pronotal shape only, Grandaustralis would fall under the Cetoniini in his key since the underdeveloped basolateral area of the pronotum results in a basolateral angle which is greater than 90 degrees. This is also true for the genera Chlorobapta Kraatz, 1880 and Neoclithria van der Poll, 1886, both placed in the Schizorhinini. However, since mesepimera are not well visible and the posthumeral elytral emargination is not well developed (two further characters separating Cetoniini and Schizorhinini in Krikken’s key) Grandaustralis is herein assigned to the tribe Schizorhinini. Etymology. The shape of the male’s antennal club and its flight behavior of circling and returning are reminiscent of a boomerang, a weapon used by indigenous Australians. Ecology and geographical distribution. Males were observed over several days at the Ravensthorpe, W.A. site flying from approximately 09:00 to 13:00 between mallee bushes and at the edge of lower, open heath areas at a height of approximately 1 m but never above taller vegetation. They were fast and strong flyers, capable of weaving skilfully between the vegetation (Fig. 11). The flight pattern may have been dictated by the height at which the beetles were flying and the height of the vegetation since Hemichnoodes nigriceps (Blanchard, 1850) was observed flying similarly at this locality. Wing color, which is clear in H. nigriceps and smoky to light brown in G. boomerang, allowed differentiation of the two species in flight. On some days, over 100 male specimens of G. boomerang were observed and often several were seen flying at the same time. Occasionally a beetle circled a bush or a spot near a bush for up to two minutes before descending. Usually they continued in flight but very rarely a specimen was observed landing near the bush. Since females are of stocky build and have protibiae adapted to burying, it was assumed that they spend a majority of the time in the soil or decaying plant matter. However, a search for females on every part of the plant where males had landed, above and under the ground and in the soil around the bush, was unsuccessful and did not yield female specimens or any indication of breeding activity. During the days of observation at Ravensthorpe, trees and bushes were in bloom and attracted all other cetoniines known from this area (Metallesthes metallescens (White, 1859), Aphanesthes succinea (Hope, 1844) and H. nigriceps), but G. boomerang were never observed feeding on the flowers or any other food source. It is likely that adult males never feed. The two known females were found walking on the ground from 14: 30 – 16:00. All recent specimens were collected during the hottest summer months, January and predominantly February. The specimen collected by J. Reeves is in poor condition, which suggests that it may have been collected dead. The date on its label, October, is not indicative of adult activity. Grandaustralis boomerang is known only from the Goldfields-Esperance region in Western Australia. The area where G. boomerang has been collected falls into two climate zones as per Köppen-Geiger climate classification (Peel et al. 2007), Cold semi-arid climate (classification Bsk) and Warm temperate climate with dry summer (classification Csb). Average annual rainfall in this region is 400-600 mm.Published as part of Hutchinson, Paul M. & Moeseneder, Christian H., 2013, Grandaustralis, a new genus and Grandaustralis boomerang, a new species of Cetoniinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) from Western Australia, pp. 17-26 in Zootaxa 3669 (1) on pages 20-25, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3669.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/28387
