Abstract

North American members of the genus Plateumaris Thomson, 1859, are revised; 17 species are recognized and 23 taxonomic changes are made in their classification. Plateumaris balli and P. schaefferi are described as new species. Names elevated from subspecies to species rank are P. robusta (Schaeffer) and P. frosti (Schaeffer); P. aurifera (LeConte) is revalidated, removed from junior synonymy with P. wallisi (Schaeffer); Donacia idola Hatch is considered a junior subjective synonym of P. dubia (Schaeffer); D. pyritosa LeConte is considered a junior subjective synonym of P. pusilla (Say); an altered species concept is transferred to P. flavipes (Kirby), with D. wallisi Schaeffer as a new junior subjective synonym, and P. flavipes of authors is correctly named P. shoemakeri (Schaeffer); D. longicollis Schaeffer and D. vermiculata Schaeffer are considered new junior subjective synonyms of P. neomexicana (Schaeffer); D. flavipennis Mannerheim is considered a junior subjective synonym of P. germari (Mannerheim); D. rufa Say (not D. rufa of authors) is transferred to Plateumaris from Donacia, with an altered species concept applied to it, and D. affinis Kirby, D. sulcicollis Lacordaire, D. chalcea Lacordaire, D. kirbyi Lacordaire, and D. jucunda LeConte are considered new junior subjective synonyms of P. rufa (Say). The taxon previously considered D. nitida Germar (sensu Schaeffer) is redescribed as P. schaefferi; P. nitida (Germar) is a valid, different species, with D. emarginata Kirby, D. juncina Couper, and D. pacifica Schaeffer considered new junior subjective synonyms of P. nitida. Neotypes are designated for Donacia pusilla Say, Donacia rufa Say, Donacia metallica Ahrens and Donacia nana Melsheimer; lectotypes are designated for all other names, where necessary.Among Palaearctic taxa, Plateumaris morimotoi Kimoto and P. hirashimai Kimoto are considered new junior subjective synonyms of P. weisei Duvivier, and P. sachalinensis Medvedev, P. orientalis Shavrov and Donacia mongolica Semenov are considered probable junior subjective synonyms of P. weisei; P. sulcifrons Weise and P. affinis (Kunze) and its synonyms are considered new junior subjective synonyms of P. rustica (Kunze); P. caucasica Zaitsev is considered a probable junior subjective synonym of P. roscida Weise; P. discolor (Panzer) (and its synonyms) and P. lacordairii (Perris) are considered junior subjective synonyms of P. sericea (L.); new P. obsoleta Jacobson and P. socia Chen are considered probable junior subjective synonyms of P. sericea.Based on phylogenetic analysis, five species groups are recognized, the P. braccata group (two species), P. rufa group (five species), P. pusilla group (eight species), P. shoemakeri group (four species), and P. nitida group (seven species). The current subgeneric classification of Plateumaris is rejected. Characters hitherto used for subgenera of Plateumaris are shown to be either plesiomorphic or widely distributed among unrelated taxa; the relatively minor structural differences do not merit use of a subgeneric classification. Juliusina Reitter is a junior objective synonym of Plateumaris Thomson.Based on fossil and chorological data, the geographic history of donaciines in general and of Plateumaris in particular is deduced to be so old as to obscure correlations of more recent phylogenetic divergences with specific geologic events. The geographic history of even the most highly derived donaciine groups extends well into the Cretaceous. Therefore, explanations are speculative beyond the generality that donaciines have a long geologic history.

Résumé

Les membres nord-américains du genre Plateumaris Thomson, 1859, ont passé en révision : 17 espèces ont été reconnues et 23 modifications taxinomiques ont été effectuées. Plateumaris belli et P. schaefferi ont été signalés comme espèces nouvelles. Des noms ont été élevés au rang d'espèce à partir de celui de sous-espèce, à savoir : P. robusta (Schaeffer) et P. frosti (Schaeffer); P. aurifera (LeConte), révalorisé et enlevé de synonymie cadette avec P. wallisi (Schaeffer); Donacia iodola Harch, reconnu comme synonyme subjectif cadet de P. dubia (Schaeffer); D. pyritosa LeConte, aussi reconnu comme synonyme subjectif cadet de P. pusilla (Say); P. flavipes (Kirby) a reçu une idée modifiée d'espèce, ayant D. wallisi Schaeffer comme synonyme cadet nouveau, et P. flavipes d'autres auteurs étant correctement appelé P. shoemakeri (Schaeffer); D. longicollis Schaeffer et D. vermiculata Schaeffer, considérés des nouveaux synonymes subjectifs cadets de P. neomexicana (Schaeffer); D. flavipennis Mannerheim, considéré un synonyme subjectif cadet de P. germari (Mannerheim); D. rufa Say (non D. rufa d'autres auterus) transféré à Plateumaris de Donicia avec une idée modifiée d'espèce, et avec D. affinis Kirby, D. sulcicollis Lacordaire, D. kirbyi Lacordaire et D. jucunda LeConte considérés comme nouveaux synonymes subjectifs cadets de P. rufa (Say). Le taxon considéré auparavant comme D. nitida Germar (sensu Schaeffer) a été décrit à nouveau comme P. schaefferi; P. nitida (Germar) est une différente espèce valide, avec D. emarginata Kirby, D. juncina Coupar et D. pacifica Schaeffer considérés de nouveaux synonymes subjectifs cadets de P. nitida. Les néotypes ont été nommés pour Donacia pusilla Say, Donacia rufa Say, Donacia metallica Ahrens et Donacia nana Melsheimer; les lectotypes ont été donnés pour tous les autres noms où nécessaire.

Parmi les taxa paléarctiques, Plateumaris morimotoi Kimoto et P. hirashimai Kimoto sont considérés comme synonymes subjectifs cadets de P. weisei Duvivier, pendant que P. sachalinensis Medvedev, P. orientalis Shavrov et Donacia mongolica Semenov sont reconnus comme synonymes subjectifs cadets probables de P. weisei; P. sulcifrons Weise ainsi que P. affinis (Kunze) et ses synonymes sont considérés comme synonymes subjectifs cadets de P. rustica (Kunze); P. caucasica Zaitsev est considéré un synonyme subjectif cadet probable de P. roscida Weise; P. discolor (Panzer) (et ses synonymes) et P. lacordairii (Perris) de P. sericea (L.); et P. obsoleta Jacobson et P. socia Chen de P. sericea.

Cinq groupes-espèces ont été reconnus d'une base d'analyse phylogénétique, à savoir : le groupe P. braccata (deux espèces); le groupe P. rufa (cinq espèces); le groupe P. pusilla (huit espèces); le groupe P. shoemakeri (quatre espèces); et le groupe P. nitida (sept espèces). La classification actuelle de sous-genres de Plateumaris a été rejetée. Les caractéristiques utilisées autrefois en ce qui concerne les sous-genres de Plateumaris ont été démontrées soit d'être plésiomorphiques soit d'être largement distribuées parmi des taxa non-reliés; les différences structurales minimes ne méritent pas l'utilisation d'une classification sous-genre. Juliusana Reitter est un synonyme objectif cadet de Plateumaris Thomson.

Basée sur les données des fossiles et de chorologies, l'histoire géographique des Donaciinae en général et de Plateumaris en particulier est déduite d'être assez vieille pour cacher les corrélations de divergences phylogénétiques récentes avec les événements géologiques particuliers. L'histoire géographique même des groupes de Donaciinae le plus évolués s'étend bien dans le Crétacé. Ainsi, les explications sont conjecturales au-delà de la généralité que les Donaciinae ont une histoire géologique étendue. [Traduit par la rédaction]
