Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Carabidae
Genus: Atranus
Name
Atranus ruficollis (Gautier des Cottes, 1858) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Dispersal power
Hind wings are longer than the elytra; we know of a flight observation from a car net (Michael Schuelke, personal observation). Boiteau et al. (2000)[1] caught the similar American species, A. pubescens (Dejean, 1828), in flight interception traps.
Habitat
Softwood floodplain woodlands with oleander (Nerium oleander), Oriental plane (Platanus orientalis), and willows (Salix spp.); mostly close to springs/sources and streams; often under deposited driftwood, in the litter layer, and on small shaded gravel banks. The same habitat is populated in Europe (Paill and Gunczy 2016[2]) and Cyprus (pers. obs.) (Fig. 34).
Phenology
All our specimens from Israel are from March to May; probably a spring breeder with summer larvae.
Distribution range
From southwest Europe (Serrano 2013[3]) to southwest Asia (Austin et al. 2008[4]; Azadbakhsh and Nozari 2015[5]; Schmidt 2017[6]), northwards to southern Central Europe (Paill and Gunczy 2016[2]), southwards to Sicily (Brandmayr et al. 2005[7]), and probably North Africa (Algeria, Lindroth 1968[8]: 649).
Distribution in the southern Levant
First record from Tanur (Tanur Waterfalls, Nahal ‘Iyyon Nature Reserve) (Wrase 2009[9]), also in the wadis Nahal Kziv and Nahal Betzet (see Suppl. material 1). Probably also in Lebanon, but no records yet.
Conservation
The damages to water bodies of streams (exploitation, pollution, reduced dynamics of floods due to drainage) (Goren 2004[10]) has probably resulted in a decrease of habitats for A. ruficollis. In recent years (2018, 2019), chlorinated water has also been used to feed the stream in the Nahal Betzet (pers. obs.).
