This geological evidence suggests that the local fauna most likely originated by dispersal and not by vicariance. After their arrival, some of the species may have then evolved to endemic species. This leads us to raise the following question: which is (are) the origin(s) of this fauna? In other words, what were the borrowed colonisation routes to reach the archipelago of the +Vanuatu +? + + +With reference to the +Tenebrionidae +, one can say that there were nearly (because of the humanmediated introduction of species like + +Tribolium castaneum + +) as many colonisation events as different genera existing in +Vanuatu +, which are not considered as sister clades. Note that if a genus is represented by more than one species, we cannot exclude the hypothesis of multiple colonisation events as well (e.g., + +Balke +et al. +2007 + +). If we replace +Vanuatu +in a geographical context, one can put forth biogeographic hypotheses as for the source of these dispersions. Indeed, these events can come from several areas around the archipelago. + + +First of all, several genera of +Tenebrionidae +could originate from New +Guinea +, which probably holds the greatest diversity of +Tenebrionidae +of the Australasian region ( +Gebien 1920 +). Its geographical position makes it obvious that its fauna is part of the Melanesian arch. In particular, dispersals to the +Vanuatu +could be facilitated by the +Solomon Islands +, as they are themselves strongly influenced by New Guinean fauna ( +Merkl 1989 +; +Bremer 1993 +). This assumption is corroborated by the presence of the genus + +Amarygmus + +in the +Vanuatu +, whose centre of diversity is located in New +Guinea +and certain representatives in the +Solomon Islands +( +Gebien 1920 +). Species of + +Amarygmus + +are also known from the +Fiji Islands +( +Kaszab 1955 +), which attests of a colonisation front going towards southeast. In the same way, if + +Uloma + +of the area and the presently described +Vanuatu +species are examined, morphological affinities show that + +U. vanuatensis +L. Soldati + +n. sp. +is closely related to a species group of + +Uloma + +from New +Guinea +(i.e. the + +U. bituberosa + +group; +Gebien 1920 +). +New Caledonia +, the nearest insular territory to +Vanuatu +( +400 km +), has the greatest + +Uloma + +diversity with respect to its surface ( +Kaszab 1982b +, +1986 +). However, no New Caledonian species are morphologically related to + +U. vanuatensis +L. Soldati + +n. sp. +On the contrary, the Fijian species, + +Uloma cavicollis +Fairmaire, 1849 + +, shows several morphological features bringing it closer to + +U. vanuatensis +L. Soldati + +n. sp. +As in the case of + +Amarygmus + +, it seems that the presence of + +Uloma + +in +Vanuatu +is the result of a southeastern oriented dispersal using +Solomon Islands +as stepping-stones. It is interesting to note that this dispersal has not yet reach +New Caledonia +whose + +Uloma + +representatives seem to originate from +Australia +( +Matthews and Bouchard 2005 +). Consequently, it appears clearly that New +Guinea +played a crucial role in the species assemblage of +Tenebrionidae +in +Vanuatu +via a dispersal that followed the Melanesian arch. The genera + +Bradymerus + +( + +B. lobicollis + +), + +Platydema + +( + +P. novaeguineense + +), + +Promethis + +( + +P. sulcigera + +) and + +Toxicum + +( + +T. quadricorne + +) are most probably originating from New +Guinea +, too. + + +Then, other genera can come from the +Fiji Islands +, a wide archipelago including approximately 80 species of + +Tenebrionidae ( +Kaszab 1955 +) + +. Its proximity to +Vanuatu +suggests that faunal exchange could have been frequent and that resulted in several genera occurring in both archipelagoes. For example, a Melanesian connection was probably established concerning the genus + +Chariotheca + +with two species ( + +C. striata + +and + +C. cuprina + +) occuring both in the +Fiji Islands +and in +Vanuatu +. These dispersals pursued westward to reach +New Caledonia +( +Kaszab 1982b +, +1986 +), but also northward to the +Solomon Islands +, where the genus is also present. + + +Lastly, +New Caledonia +could have also influenced the fauna of +Vanuatu +. Emerged approximately 34- 37 million years ago ( +Pelletier 2006 +), it has some genera in common with the +Vanuatu +archipelago. Even though +New Caledonia +and +Vanuatu +exhibit many affinities for the plants for instance ( +Pillon 2011 +), most tenebrionid species from the two areas are different ( +Kaszab 1955 +, +1982b +, +1986 +). Moreover, several widespread Australasian genera ( + +Amarygmus + +, + +Promethis + +and + +Toxicum + +) are found in +Vanuatu +but not in +New Caledonia +( +Matthews & Bouchard 2005 +). In the same way, many New Caledonian genera do not occur in +Vanuatu +. This low level of affinity demonstrates the scarcity of the past exchanges between these two areas in spite of their proximity. This can be explained by two major hypotheses:First, one can imagine that competition or poor adaptation prevented some tenebrionid genera from colonising one or the other archipelago. +New Caledonia +, for example, is covered by ultramafic soils that have strongly constrained the diversification of plants ( + +Pillon +et al. +2010 + +). Second, it can be thought that dispersal opportunities between the two archipelagoes were limited for poor dispersers (wingless species), or that abiotic (e.g., marine currents) or biotic factors prevented these dispersal events. Testing these assumptions would require a more thorough knowledge of the biodiversity of the region, as well as an estimate of their phylogenetic relationships among species existing between the distinct areas through a historical biogeography approach (interspecific level) or phylogeography (intraspecific level). + + +In conclusion, the tenebrionid fauna of +Vanuatu +represents a reserve of species, which provides an interesting and still incompletely known biogeographic history with questions about its origin and evolution. Thanks to this first inventory, we highlight multiple and independent origins to explain the colonisation of the archipelago. However, understanding of the evolutionary and ecological processes, which have contributed to the community assemblage, remains a fascinating challenge that requires a more thorough sampling over the entire Australasian region. Even if it appears that New +Guinea +is the major source of this biodiversity, it would be very interesting to test these biogeographic hypotheses within a phylogenetic perspective including dense taxon sampling for each genus.

However, it clearly differs from + +U. bituberosa + +and its subspecies by the presence of two conical tubercles on the clypeus in males ( +Fig. 2B +) and the different shape of the pronotum ( +Fig. 1D +), whose bumps on the sides of the anterior impression of males are much lower: they are not projected forward up to the front edge or beyond it, and they are not hook-shaped inwards. + + + +DESCRIPTION + +Length 10-11.5 mm; width 3.5- +4 mm +. Pitchy dark brown, sometimes slightly reddish (teneral specimens), brilliant. Antennae, mouthparts, legs and prosternal apophysis reddish-brown. + + + +Head ( +Fig. 2B +) + + +Transverse,genae narrower than eyes, first subparallel in a very short distance, then obliquely narrowed in curved line forward up to the clypeo-genal suture, which is limited laterally by two short faint grooves and disappears completely in the middle, in the area that normally separates the front from the clypeus. Clypeus transversely enlarged, swollen (standing out from frons despite absence of visible suture) and its anterior edge slightly concave. + +Male:vertex sloping steeply forward and separated from front by a transverse depression as wide as space between eyes. Frons plane with a slight impression in front in the middle, in area of contact with the clypeal bead. Clypeus densely covered with tangled microgranulation and adorned with two small conical tubercles ( +Fig. 2B +, tub), between them with a narrow arc-shaped strip ( +Fig. 2B +, st) whose microchagreened/matte surface contrasts sharply with the shiny rest of upper head. Punctuation is very fine, sparse and superficial in the middle of frons and becomes progressively denser on genae and toward clypeus, and stronger and coarser on the temporae. + + +Female: vertex coarsely punctate, convex and separated from temporae and frons by a transverse depression more or less pronounced, but still clearly visible. Contrary to +♂ +, frons is also convex transversely and much more strongly punctate. Clypeus also swollen, but its surface only punctate, smooth and shiny, neither with conical tubercles nor microgranulation. + + +Antennae ( +Fig. 2A +) without notable features, antennomeres gradually becoming transverse and expanded from antennomere5 which is slightly asymmetrical. Mentum ( +Fig. 2A +) heart-shaped, smooth and covered with coarse but shallow punctuation, with distinct midlongitudinal triangular depression, deepest anteriorly and gradually becoming shallower backward, and two short oblique lateral grooves near the base, arranged symmetrically in relation to midline. + + +Pronotum + +1.3 times wider than long, sides weakly arcuate, almost parallel, widest at basal third. Rim on the anterior margin disappears completely in the middle; base immarginated, with exception of two small folds located at the level of the two concave curves of external margin and the posterior angles. Anterior angles smooth and slightly protruding forward, posterior ones obtuse. Whole upper surface of the pronotum very finely and regularly punctate, slightly denser on the sides. +A B C + + +FIG. 1. — + +Uloma vanuatensis +L.

Soldati + +n. sp. +holotype ♂ (MNHN EC2280): +A +, head (ventral view); +B +, head (dorsal view).Abbreviations: tub, conical tubercle; st, arc-shaped strip. Scale bars: A, 1.5 mm; B, 1 mm. Photographs L. Soldati. + + +Male: antero-median depression of pronotum rather moderate, shallow, not reaching half of pronotal length and becoming gradually shallower toward posterior end in circular arch without any granule to delimit its posterior edge. The lateral bumps that initiate the depression’s sides forward are quite low, not projected to anterior edge and simply sloping inwards, without forming lamellar hook-shaped expansions. Bottom of depression somewhat more strongly punctate than rest of pronotal surface. +Female: pronotum regularly convex, without antero-median depression. Prosternal apophysis in lateral view regularly curved beneath anterior coxae. + +Elytra + +Elytra quite flattened on disc, sides parallel, humeral angles right but rounded at the top. Lateral margin visible only in anterior half in dorsal view. Each elytron bears nine grooved striae of punctures and a scutellar striola. Strial punctures are slightly wider than grooves. Elytral intervals nearly flat on disc and becoming convex laterally and toward apex, covered with extremely fine and superficial punctuation. + +Abdomen + + +Abdominal ventrites ( +Fig.3B +) very finely and densely punctate on a narrow mid-longitudinal strip and on the entire anal ventrite where punctuation becomes progressively bigger and sparser. On each side of this longitudinal strip, surface of ventrites 1-4 is finely microshagreened and striate longitudinally.Moreover, each ventrite is dotted with porous punctures mainly concentrated on leading edge. The terminal ventrite without lateral microshagreened and striate areas, but porous punctures present, and its outer margin very finely bordered except on both sides,in front of the base. Anterior tibiae ( +Fig. 3A +) carinate on their upper surface up to the middle and slightly excavated at base on the inner side. + + +Aedeagus:on tergal face ( +Fig. 1F +), parameres parallel in basal half, then suddenly narrowed and pointed toward apex;base triangular backwards.In lateral view ( +Fig. 1E +), apical half of parameres strongly curved. + + + +REMARKS + + +Uloma vanuatensis +L. Soldati + +n. sp. +, like all its congeners, is a saproxylic insect living and developing beneath bark and in decaying wood. Unfortunately, neither the larvae nor the food preferences ( +type +of tree species) are known. + + + + \ No newline at end of file
