Abstract
This work provides the phylogeny and classification of the genera Parastasia and Desmonyx and revise the taxonomy of the genus Parastasia Westwood, 1842 (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae).
Analyses were conducted using 152 morphological characters of 143 taxa as follows: 108 within the genus Parastasia and 35 of the Rutelinae (Rutelini, Anomalini and Adoretini), Dynastinae and Melolonthinae as the outgroups.
Resuls of the analysis demonstrates the following: (1) the genus Parastasia is included in the subfamily Dynastinae, (2) the genus Parastasia is monophyletic and includes four monophyletic groups, (3) the genera Chyphelytra, Ceroplophana, Dicaulocephalus, Fruhstorferia, Kibakoganea, Lutera, Masumotokoganea, Peperonota and Rutelarcha of Asian species are included in the tribe Rutelini and each genus is confirmed its phylogenetic position and (4) Desmonyx is confirmed the phylogenetic position and is included in the subfamily Dynastinae.
Based on the results of phylogenetic analyses, new classifications of the genus Parastasia with five species groups are proposed: (1) paraphyletic basal taxa as the confluens –group, (2) monophyletic bimaculata clade as the bimaculata-group, (3) monophyletic discolor clade as the discolor-group, (4) monophyletic canaliculata clade as the canaliculata-group and (5) monophyletic westwoodi clade as the westwoodi-group.
Description and keys to all species-groups, 100 species and 7 subspecies of the genus Parastasia are indicated. The biogeography and speciation of each species group are also discussed.
1 I. Introduction
Approximately 94 species and 9 subspecies of the genus Parastasia Westwood, 1842 (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Rutelinae, Rutelini, Parastasiina) have hitherto been known from the Palearctic and the Oriental Regions (Krajcik, 2008).
The genus Parastasia is widely distributed from the Andaman Islands and Indo-Himalaya area, through the Indochina Peninsula, to Sundaland and Oceania.
Moreover, endemic species are also distributed on the Ogasawara and Fiji Islands (islands on the Pacific Ocean), and the Seychelles (in the Indian Ocean). One species is distributed eastern North America (Machatschke, 1972).
Some species of Parastasia are widely distributed, while other species are indigenous to regions. Evolution and speciation in the genus Parastasia has been strongly influenced by not only ecological factors but also historical factors connected deeply with the complicated geological history of their areas of distribution.
The species of Parastasia are moderately-sized (1-4 cm in body length) and dark colored beetles having the following characters: clypeus with two or four denticles, fronto-clypeal suture obsolete in lateral 1/3 to 2/5, inner apices of the fourth meso- and metatarsomeres each with one prolonged triangular process in ventral view.
Fundamentally, the coloration of the body is red to black with yellow to dark brown maculations on the dorsal surface.
Some species exhibit unusual character traits such as a prolonged clypeal apex (P.
dimidiata Erichson, 1845), forwardly produced metasternal process (P. kinibalensis Ohaus, 1901) or unusual form of the mesotarsal claw with the outer claw split and greatly widened in the male (P. westwoodi Westwood, 1842).
Detailed ecology of adults is almost unknown, except that they are collected by light traps. From the dark coloration and the habit of flying to light, it seems that the adults are nocturnal. In some species of Parastasia, the adults are observed feeding on flowers of Homalomena propinqua Schott (P. gestoroi Ohaus, 1900) (Fig. I-1)and fermenting fruits (P. canaliculata Westwood, 1842) (Yumoto, 1999; Wada, 1984).
Larvae feed on decaying wood. Some species have been collected from reddish rotten wood (P. ferierri Nonfried, 1895) or white rotten wood (Parastasia nigriceps Westwood, 1842), and from the detritus around the termite colony (e.g. P. nigriceps inconstans Fairmaire, 1879) (Suzuki, 2000).
Considering the morphological variety mentioned above, the genus Parastasia may have interesting habits. Little is known, however, about life history, food habits, mating behavior, and so on in adults of this genus. And for many species, the larvae and
2 pupae are still unknown.
A new classification of the tribe Rutelini including the genus Parastasia is proposed by Jameson (1998) as the result of phylogenetic analysis. She proposed the genera Acrobolbia and Peltonotus, both of which have been placed in the tribe Rutelini, should be placed in the subfamily Dynastinae. But the phylogenetic position of Parastasia has still been unclear.
In the first section of this study, I conduct phylogenetic analyses mainly based on morphological characters to reconfirm the monophyletic group “Parastasia lineage” and to make clear the relationships of the genus Parastasia. In the second section, I discuss the process and feature of the speciation based on the geological history relevant to the phylogenetic relationships of species-groups of Parastasia. Finally, I will propose a new taxonomic system based on the phylogenetic relationships of the species belonging to Parastasia.
II. Taxonomic history
The tribe Rutelini in the subfamily Rutelinae, consists of approximately 70 genera and is closely related to the subfamily Dynastinae (Machatschke, 1972). It has been pointed out that there are some systematic problems about the taxonomic position of the genera that belonged to the tribe Rutelini or the subfamily Dynastinae. Historically, the genus Parastasia Westwood, 1842 had been treated as the members of the subtribe Parastasiina of the tribe Rutelini that is closely related to subtribe Fruhstorferina and subtribe Rutelina (Arrow, 1917; Machatschke, 1972). However, the relationships of Parastasiina with subtribe Fruhstorferina, subtribe Rutelina and particularly subfamily Dynastinae were ambiguous.
A key to solve this problem was given by Jameson (1998) with the result of phylogenetic analysis. She showed phylogenetic relationships among 28 genera and 2 subgenera of the tribe Rutelini and pointed out invalidity of subtribal classification.
As for the genus Parastasia, many new genera had been described based on some species because of variability of the forms and few numbers of specimens collected. The genus Parastasia was described by Westwood (1842) based on Parastasia canaliculata as the type species. Then, Burmeister (1844) and Lacordaire (1856) described Parastasia in more detail. Although Burmeister (1844) mentioned the genus Caelidia Dejean, 1833, Dejean had not been described the genus Caelidia and only catalogued on Caelidia quinquemaculata Dejean, 1833 . Arrow (1899) considered the genus Caelidia as
3
nomen nudum and treated as a synonym of Parastasia. The genus Barymorpha Guerin- Méneville, 1843 was described based on Barymorpha bimaculata Guerin- Méneville, 1843 as a type. This genus was divided from Parastasia based on the difference in the structure of claws. Hoverer, it was considered as a synonym of Parastasia by Burmeister (1844). The genus Polymoechus Leconte, 1856 is the only species which occurs in North America. This genus was described based on Polymoechus brevipes Leconte, 1856 as a type. Then, it was considered as a synonym of the genus Parastasia by Arrow (1917). Although the genus Urleta Westwood, 1875 was described based on Urleta ometoides Westwood, 1875 as a type, Urleta ometoides was treated as a junior synonym of P. dimidiata Erichson, 1845 and the genus Urleta was considered as a synonym of the genus Parastasia by Arrow (1899). The genus Echmatophorus Waterhouse, 1895 was described based on Echmatophorus pascoei as a type. Then, the genus Echmatophorus was considered as a synonym of Parastasia by Arrow (1899).
Sawada (1938) advocated the genus Ohkubonus with Ohkubonus quadridentatus Sawada, 1938 as a type, based on the difference in the structure of mouth parts and so on. Afterwards, Sawada (1950) treated Parastasia ferrieri Nonfried, 1895 as the genus Ohkubonus and considered O. quadridentata as a junior synonym of O. ferrieri. In his study, Sawada considered that the genus Ohkubonus would be classified to the subtribe Dynastini. Nomura (1964, 1965, 1966) treated the genus Ohkubonus as invalid and as the synonym of Parastasia. However, Kobayashi (1973, 1983) and Nakane (1983) treated the genus Ohkubonus as valid. The genera Cyphelytra Waterhouse, 1875, Lutera Westwood, 1875 and Rutelarcha Waterhouse, 1874 were considered as the synonyms of the genus Parastasia by Arrow (1917). Afterwards, these genera were treated as valid by Ohaus (1938b) and Kuijten (1988). Kuijten (1988) mentioned that the genera Rutelarcha, Cyphelytra and Lutera must be united, and transferred them to the subtribe Rutelina.
The total 150 species of the genus Parastasia were described by Westwood (1842), Guerin-Méneville (1843), Burmeister (1844), Erichson (1845), Blanchard (1850), Leconte (1856), Montrouzier (1860), Snellen van Vollenhoven (1864), Fairmaire (1868, 1879, 1883), Candeze (1869), Westwood (1842), Ohaus (1898, 1900, 1901, 1903, 1911, 1923, 1926, 1938), Arrow (1899), Gestro (1876, 1888), Sharp (1888), Schaufuss (1887), Nonfried (1892, 1895), Waterhouse (1895), Sawada (1938), Nomura (1964), Frey (1969), Nakane (1983), Kuijten (1992), Ghai et al. (1988) and Wada (1989, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009). However, 45 species were treated as invalid as junior synonyms of other species for the reason that it is often confused that the color form and that male and female were separated as another species in the past classification. The
4
classificatory arrangement concerning on the all known 72 species and 10 subspecies was made by Kuijuten (1992).
The revisions and catalogues on the genus Parastasia were published by Ohaus (1934b), Machatschke (1972), Kuijten (1992) and Kracjik (2008). In his revisional work, Ohaus (1934b) divided the genus Parastasia into 10 species groups: confluens group, dolens group, bimaculata group, nigromaculata group, discolor group, canaliculata group, anomala group, westwoodi group, vittata group and heterocera group (Table II-1).
Arrow (1917) considered that the genera Cyphelytra Waterhouse, 1875, Lutera Westwood, 1875 and Rutelarcha Waterhouse, 1874 were junior synonyms of the genus Parastasia. Machatschke (1972) added three species groups: ochracea group, luteola group and quadimaculata group that are included in species of the genera Cyphelytra Waterhouse, 1875, Lutera Westwood, 1875 and Rutelarcha Waterhouse, 1874 (Table II-1). Kuijten (1992) postponed dividing the species groups of the genus Parastasia until data and knowledge have much increased.
However, there were many discoveries of new species after Kuijuten (1992).
Moreover, the species groups proposed by Ohaus (1934b) were not fully examined until now, and their phylogenetic relationship is not clear.
All the nomenclatural acts in this doctoral thesis would be disclaimed based on the Article 8.3.
of ICZN.

2. Dissection
The technique of dissection was important for scrutinizing and examination of characters. The following parts can be observed only by dissection; mouth parts (galea, labrum, mentum, maxilla, mandibles), hind wings, abdomen, spiracles, genitalia and internal sac.
Dried specimens were softened by soaking boiling water and separated into 3 parts, i.e. head, thorax and abdomen. Mouth parts were extracted from the head under microscope vision using
6
tweezers and insect pins. In most cases, the left mandible, left maxilla, labrum and mentum were extracted and card-mounted using aqueous glue. The left hind wing, pterothorax and abdominal sternites were extracted from the abdomen using tweezers and insect pins. Furthermore, the genitalia and spiculum gastrale were extracted from inside of the abdomen.
The male genitalia were entirely softened by putting in 5% KOH at least overnight. After wards, internal sac was turned out by applying water pressure from the base of genitalia using small-sized hypodermic syringe under the microscope. The old and non-reversible internal sac was extended with tweezers as reverse-side. The internal sac was kept in the tube pipe with glycerin.
The genitalia and spiculum gastrale were card-mounted using aqueous glue. The left hind wing was extracted from the body. The wing was dried and put between slide glasses in an extended position. The slides were fastened with a wide clip and scotch tape. The wing was mounted on the plastic plate using aqueous glue. The card-mounted mouth-parts, genitalic parts and the abdomen were pinned. The head, thorax and abdomen were replaced after dissection and pinned. The data labels were attached to the materials.
3. Phylogenetic Analysis
3-1. Examination taxa for phylogenetic analysis
Jameson (1990, 1994, 1996, 1997) analyzed of the tribe Rutelini based on many morphological characters. In this study, the characters used by Jameson are re-examined. Characters available for the phylogenetic analysis of the genera and species from Southeast Asian are added to those employed by Jameson. Phylogenetic analysis was based on 152 characters. Characters used in this analysis partly followed those of the preceding study by Jameson (1998), with the addition of structures of the epipharynx, shape of the male genitalia and inner sac structure of male genitalia. All the 100 species and 8 subspecies of the genus Parastasia were analyzed as in-group (Table III-1). Of these 100 species, some characters of 25 species were not able to observe because one of the sexes was collected. Analyzed all species were illustrated in Plate I-V.
In order to determine the taxonomic status of the genus Parastasia, 22 genera of out-group taxa were selected from the Rutelinae (Rutelini, Anomalini and Adoretini), Dynastinae and Melolonthinae, that is, the genera Ceroplophana, Cyphelytra, Desmonyx, Dicaulocephalus, Fruhstorferia, Kibakoganea, Lutera, Masumotokoganea, Peperonota, Rutelarcha (Rutelini), Anomala, Mimela (Anomalini), Adoretus (Adoretini), Blabephorus, Eophileurus, Oryctomorphus, Peltonotus, Pseudohomox, Rutelisca (Dynastinae), Dasylepida, Holotrichia and Polyphylla (Melolonthinae) (Table III-2). Thirty-five species of out-group taxa listed above were used to analyze the relationships of Parastasia. Especially the out-group genera Lutera, Chyphelytra, Rutelarcha of the Rutelini (Rutelinae), which were once included in the genus Parastasia (Arrow,
7
1917; Machatschke, 1972), were analyzed for all the species. To confirm the relationship between Parastasia and subfamily Dynastinae, the species of the following genera of Dynastinae were used to analyze: Oryctmorphus, Eophileurus, Pseudohomox, Blabephorus and Peltonotus. The genera Polyphylla, Dasylepida and Holotrichia of Melolonthinae were used for out-group to analyze the relationship between Rutelinae and Dynastinae. Analyzed all the species were illustrated in Plate VI.

3-2. Characters and character states
Character matrix is shown in Table III-3. All the characters were discrete rather than continuous, and were treated as unweighted. Characters were coded as either binary or multistate (0-6).

The confidence levels of each branch were estimated by 1000 bootstrap replications (Felsenstein 1985) using 1000 bootstrap replications using heuristic searches with simple addition sequence and nearest-neighbor interchange (NNI) branch-swapping for the MP analysis.
Phylogenetic analysis was conducted the five stages of analysis which is described below.
(1) Phylogenetic position and phylogeny of the genus Parastasia based on all taxa analysis.
In this phylogenetic analysis, all taxa including all species of Parastasia are used and the Holotrichia was used as outgroup (Fig.IV-1).
(2) Phylogeny of the genus Parastasia based on second analysis using Desmonyx and Dynastinae as the out-group.
This phylogenetic analysis, all species of Parastasia are used and treated the Desmonyx and Dynastinae as outgroup (Fig.IV-2).
(3) Phylogeny of the genus Parastasia based on the complete data set analysis
This analysis was performed to be limited the species of the genus Parastasia and the outer group that had the complete data set (Fig.IV-3).
(4) Phylogeny of the genus Parastasia based on Some typical species of the complete data set analysis using Desmonyx and Dynastinae as the outgroup.
This analysis was performed to select the representative species of each clade and glade of the genus Parastasia that had the complete data set (Fig.IV-4).

This analysis was conducted using each species groups of the genus Parastasia that was
16
shown in the clade or the glade on the basis of the result of first analysis (Figs.IV-5-8).
IV. Results
1. Phylogenetic position and phylogeny of the genus Parastasia based on all taxa analysis The phylogeny of all species and subspecies of the genus Parastasia and closely related Asian genera of the same tribe Rutelini; Ceroplophana, Cyphelytra, Desmonyx, Dicaulocephalus, Fruhstorferia, Kibakoganea, Lutera, Masumotokoganea, Peperonota Rutelarcha, Asian genera of the tribe Anomalini; Anomala, Mimela; Asian genus of the tribe Adoretini; Adoretus and the subfamily Dynastinae consisting of six genera; Blabephorus, Eophileurus, Oryctomorphus, Peltonotus, Pseudohomox, Rutelisca was examined. The out-group used in analysis was the subfamily Melolonthinae consisting of three genera; Polyphylla, Dasylepida, Holotrichia.
Under this situation, the cladistic analysis resulted in 567 equally parsimonious trees (tree length = 1850, consistency index = 0.14, retention index = 0.60, rescaled consistency index = 0.08) and the strict consensus tree was obtained for these shortest trees. The consensus tree was shown in Figs. IV-1. The clade supported by a bootstrap value of ≧50% was indicated above each branch.
The monophyly of the Parastasia clade was supported by a bootstrap proportion (BP) value of 82%.
The result of phylogenetic analysis indicated that the lineage is divided into two branches at the base (Fig.IV-1). One lineage supported by a BP of 73% is the dynastine clade which includes the Parastasia clade, Desmonyx, Oryctomorphus, three genera of Dynastinae (Eophileurus, Blabephorus, Pseudohomonyx) and Peltonotus. The other clade supported by a BP of 70%, which I refer to as the
“rutelinae clade” includes Lutera-Chyphelytra-Rutelarcha clade, Ceroplophana-Dicaulocephalus- Peperonota-Masumotokoganea-Fruhstorferia-Kibakoganea clade, Rutelisca, the Adoretini and the Anomalini clades.
Within the dynastine clade, the genus Peltonotus clde is firstly branched from the other clades, and the remaining branches in order of the Dynastinae clade, the Oryctomorphus clade, the Desmonyx clade, and the Parastasia clade (BP70%).
The Parastasia clade is divided into the following groups; Basal glade, bimaculata clade and major Parastasia clade including canaliculata clade, westwoodi clade, discolor clade, small subclades and many miscellaneous species (Fig.IV-1).
The members of the basal glade are considered to firstly divide species group. However, relationships at the base of the cladogram are most poorly resolved. The grade consists of 19 species and 1 subspecies that include 4 small subclades. The basal members are: P. lutea, P. tenomensis, P.
peterzorni + P. quadrimaculata, P. montrouzieri, P. kraatzi, P. ferrieri (P. ferrieri ferrieri + P.
ferrieri formosana) + P. sawadai, P. dolens, P. pulupuluensis + P. terraereginae + P. confluens, P.
17
brevipes, P. bigibbosa, P. oberthueri oberthueri + P. oberthueri ishigakiana, P. sulcata, P. hitomi, P.
christmasensis, and P. glottidion.
The bimaculata clade is a well-defined clade that is sister to the major Parastasia clade. Basal to the higher clade is a well-resolved clade and the members are divided into two subclade.

2. Phylogeny of the genus Parastasia based on second analysis using Desmonyx, Oryctomorphus and Dynastinae as the outgroup
Secondary, all species were analyzed again to examine the phylogenetic relationships among 108 taxa in Parastasia clade by using the genus Desmonyx and the subfamily Dynastinae except genus Rutelisca as the out-group. Under this situation, the cladistic analysis resulted in 535 equally parsimonious trees (tree length = 1270, consistency index = 0.1614, retention index = 0.5586, rescaled consistency index = 0.0902) and the strict consensus tree was obtained for these shortest
18
trees. The results of the phylogenetic analysis were given by the consensus of 535 trees was shown in Fig. IV-2. The clade supported by a bootstrap value of ≧50% was indicated above each branch.
The monophyly of the Parastasia clade was supported by a bootstrap proportion (BP) value of 72%.
The results indicated almost the similar clade among 108 taxa in Parastasia clade compaired with the phylogenetic position of the genus Parastasia based on all taxa analysis (Fig.IV-1). The different point of the results compared with the results of the previous analysis is the below.
The Parastasia clade is divided into the following groups: Basal glade, bimaculata clade, discolor clade and major Parastasia clade including westwoodi clade and canaliculata clade.
The basal glade consists of one small subclade and some miscellaneous species, and indicated clear unity compaired with the previous analysis.
The bimaculata clade is firstly branched from the basal grade and consists of two subclades and many miscellaneous species (Fig.IV-2). The first subclade such as bimaculata + marmorata subclade included in only 2 species: P. bimaculata bimaculata, P. bimaculata nicobarica, P. marmorata discophora, P. marmorata marmorata. The second subclade newly included some species: P. xanthopyga, P. christmasensis, P. hitomi, P. sulcata, P. oberthueri ishigakiana + P. oberthueri oberthueri and P. lobata.

A thirdly analysis was conducted to examine the many polytomies within the genus
19
Parastasia and to clarify the divergence order in Parastasia clade. The phylogeny of 106 species consisted of 72 species in the Parastasia and 34 species in the out-group was examined after excluding 42 species that has unknown data. Under this situation, the cladistic analysis resulted in 278 equally parsimonious trees (tree length = 1410, consistency index = 0.1809, retention index = 0.6297, rescaled consistency index = 0.1139) and the strict consensus tree was obtained for these shortest trees. The results of the phylogenetic analysis are indicated by the strict consensus of 278 trees and shown in Fig. IV-3. The clade supported by a bootstrap value of ≧ 50% was indicated above each branch. The monophyly of the Parastasia clade was supported by a bootstrap proportion (BP) value of 82 %.
The results indicated almost the similar clade among 69 taxa in Parastasia clade compaired with the phylogenetic position of the genus Parastasia based on all taxa analysis.
The different point of the results compared with the results of the previous analysis is the below.
The Parastasia clade is divided into the following two groups: Basal glade and major Parastasia clade that were formed in westwoodi clade, canaliculata clade, discolor clade, bimaculata clade, two small subclades and 10 miscellaneous species.

4. Phylogeny of the genus Parastasia based on some typical species of the complete data set analysis using Desmonyx, Dynastinae and Melolonthinae as the outgroup
A fourth analysis was conducted to examine the phylogenetic position within major Parastasia clade. Some typical species selected from each major Parastasia clade; P.
canaliculata, P. cingala, P. ephippium and P. circumferens from the canaliculata clade, P.
indica, P. moultoni, P. westwoodii and P. yasutoshii from the westwoodi clade, P. discolor discolor, P. diversipennis, P. wallacea and P. vittata from the discolor clade and P. nigriceps nigriceps, P. bimaculata bimaculata, P. nigromaculata and P. fujiokai from the bimaculata clade.

The species of the out-group was selected and consisted of 5 species;
Polyphylla albolineata, Dasylepida fissa, Holotrichia sp., Desmonyx humeralis and Oryctomorphus bimaculatus.
Under this situation, the cladistic analysis resulted in 18 equally parsimonious trees (tree length = 502, consistency index = 0.3984, retention index = 0.5459, rescaled consistency index
= 0.2175) and the strict consensus tree was obtained for these shortest trees. The strict consensus tree was shown in Fig. IV-4. The clade supported by a bootstrap value of ≧ 50%
was indicated above each branch. The monophyly of the Parastasia clade was supported by a bootstrap proportion (BP) value of 77%.
As a result of the analysis, the basal glade did not form a clade and was consisted of 6 species. In these species, two species were sister to Desmonyx humeralis; P. quadrimaculata, P.
ferrieri ferrieri. And four species were next to the two species, such as P. montrouzieri, P. lutea, P. kraatzi and P. confluens.
The major Parastasia clade was consisted of three clades and 7 miscellaneous species.
The three clades are canaliculata clade, westwoodi clade and discolor clade.
The members of the bimaculata clade were included in the major Parastasia clade, but were not formed the bimaculata clade. The westwoodi clade and the canaliculata clade form the sister group, but the discolor clade is formed independently. Four miscellaneous species of the major Parastasia clade are included in the bimaculata clade by the results of the previous analysis; P.
bimaculata bimaculata, P. nigriceps nigriceps, P. nigromaculata and P. fujiokai. The rest species within the major clade were boundary species between the bimaculata clade and the basal glade by the result of first analysis, such as P. oberthueri ishigakiana, P. dolens and P.
brevipes.
