A bit of good
luck: A new species of burying beetle from the Solomon Islands Archipelago

Summary:

Scientists discovered
a new species of burying beetle from the Solomon Islands Archipelago.
Nicrophorus efferens was discovered when one of the authors, Tonya Mousseau,
decided to look through the local museum collections during a holiday in
Hawaii. The lucky find is a type of burying beetle, a group of beetles famous
among naturalists for their peculiar reproductive habits.

................

scientists discovered a
new species of burying beetle, Nicrophorus efferens.
Burying beetles are well known to most naturalists because of their large size,
striking black and red colors, and interesting reproductive behaviors -- they
bury small vertebrate carcasses which their offspring eat in an underground
crypt, guarded by both parents.

The study was published in the open access journalZookeys.

This new species, known from only 6 specimens collected in 1968, sat unrecognized
as an undescribed species for over 40 years. "It was a bit of good luck
that led to our realization these specimens belonged to an undescribed species.
My student, Tonya, was visiting Hawaii for some R&R and decided to look
over the burying beetles held by the Bishop Museum. Her PhD research was
focused on the biogeography and evolution of a subgroup of these beetles and
she identified these six specimens as very interesting and possibly new. The
discovery of new species in old collections is a common occurrence and one of
the many reasons why museums like the Bishop play a vital role in helping us
understand life on this planet.," commented Dr. Sikes, University of
Alaska Museum.

The second author, Tonya Mousseau, added, "Without my background and
training in the taxonomy of beetles, particularly the burying beetles, this new
species might never have been uncovered. This really reinforces the idea that
classic training in taxonomy and systematics is absolutely necessary to
discovering and understanding the biodiversity of earth."

As far as the authors of this new species know, no one has seen this
species alive. "It's likely they bury small vertebrate carcasses, like
their close relatives do, but if they have any different behaviors we'll have
to wait for future studies to learn of them. "
