Abstract - Aquatic and semiaquatic beetles in the families Dytiscidae, Gyrinidae,
Haliplidae, Helophoridae, Hydraenidae, Hydrophilidae, and Noteridae of the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) were sampled from 2003 to 2006.
Current and historic literature as well as the insect collections at GSMNP, Illinois
Natural History Survey, Smithsonian Institution, and University of Tennessee were
examined for GSMNP records. This is the first comprehensive effort at surveying
the aquatic and semiaquatic beetles of GSMNP. A total of 115 species were recorded:
46 Dytiscidae, 7 Gyrinidae, 5 Haliplidae, 2 Helophoridae, 2 Hydraenidae, 2
Hydrochidae, 49 Hydrophilidae, and 2 Noteridae. Eighty species are reported from
GSMNP for the first time. Hydaticus aruspex Clark, Hydrocolus defl atus, H. paugus,
Liodessus affinis (Dytiscidae), and Dactylosternum abdominale (Hydrophilidae) are
reported from Tennessee for the first time.
Introduction
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) is located in North
Carolina and Tennessee. It covers over 210,000 ha and contains one of
the largest tracts of forest in the eastern United States. The Park is one of the
most species-rich temperate areas in the world and has been designated as an
International Biosphere Reserve (Sharkey 2001). The Park’s location in the
southeastern United States gives it a generally mild climate with abundant
moisture and a long, warm season. The elevation gradient and topographic
complexity of the Park have resulted in the development of numerous microclimatic
and habitat types which nearly span the range of climatic and
habitat types found in the entire Appalachian Mountain range.
The All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) of GSMNP began in 1997
with the goal of documenting the diversity of organisms within the boundaries
of the Park (Sharkey 2001). The ATBI involves both traditional and
structured sampling protocols involving specialists, students, and volunteers
sampling specific habitats.
With the recognized importance of water bodies and wetlands in conservation
planning and resource management efforts, the assessment of water
beetle inventories can be considered an essential task. The purpose of this

study was to collect and identify aquatic and semiaquatic beetles in seven
families in as many habitats as possible in GSMNP and thereby contribute
to a baseline inventory upon which to monitor and manage the Park’s natural
resources. Carlton (2002) reported 35 aquatic beetle species from GSMNP,
but the seven families targeted in this study have not been previously inventoried
in a systematic way.
Aquatic beetles have been proposed as bio-indicators of water quality
and indicators overall biodiversity (Ribera and Forster 1993, Sánchez-
Fernández et al. 2006). The group has not been used partly because of the
misconception that they are difficult to identify, the incomplete knowledge
of their biology and ecology, and the entrenched idea that water
beetle distributions are more influenced by chance colonization rather
than habitat suitability. However, the publication of reliable identification
aides and a greater understanding of their biology now make this group
more acceptable to natural area managers.
Methods
This survey focused on developing an inventory of seven families of
aquatic and semiaquatic beetles in GSMNP. Sampling methodology was not
designed to address questions of abundance, biodiversity, or habitat quality.
Directed sampling was conducted from May to August in 2003 to 2006.
Samples were generally taken in readily accessible portions of the Park.
Techniques used were aquatic nets (D-frame), fl oatation (see Staines and
Staines 2005), visual survey of dung and decaying organic matter, and 15-
watt black lights. The primary focus was on the undersampled vernal pools,
ditches, fl ooded meadows, and ponds. In small to medium-sized ponds, sampling
was often done at various points around the entire perimeter. In larger
bodies of water, only the shallower areas were sampled. No formal attempt
was made to sample for a specific time period. Volunteers and science educators
were trained in survey techniques and contributed in the number of sites
surveyed. Other researchers conducting aquatic insect inventories provided
specimens from their work that focused primarily on streams. Specimens of
a representative sample of the material found at each site was collected and
used for identification.
Structured sampling efforts consisted of two Malaise/fl ight intercept
traps, ten pitfall traps, and two Lindgren funnel canopy traps at eleven sites
(Fig. 1). These sites were selected to represent a cross-section of habitat
types found in GSMNP (see Petersen et al. 2005 for detailed site descriptions).
The pilot structured sampling project was conducted from October
2000 to October 2002. Traps were run year round and emptied biweekly.
Samples from the structured sampling are located at Louisiana State University;
aquatic and semiaquatic beetles from sorted samples were identified.
Current and historic literature was examined for GSMNP records. The
insect collections at GSMNP, Illinois Natural History Survey, Smithsonian
Institution, and University of Tennessee were examined for GSMNP records.

Given the limited funding and large geographical area, few locations
were sampled intensively. Most sites were visited one time. Our focus was
on the distribution of species rather than their abundance or diversity, which
allowed us to use a variety of sampling techniques at most sites. While some
methods are more effective in capturing aquatic and semiaquatic beetles,
no single method is efficient for all species. By using several methods we
improved our chance of detecting all species present. We chose this sampling
approach with the understanding that our results provide preliminary
estimates, not definitive answers.
Results
We surveyed a total of 255 sites and collected 109 species; there are
six additional species reported from the literature which brings the total
number of species from GSMNP to 115. These include 46 Dytiscidae, 7
Gyrinidae, 5 Haliplidae, 2 Helophoridae, 2 Hydraenidae, 2 Hydrochidae,
49 Hydrophilidae, and 2 Noteridae (Appendix 1). Eighty species are new
records for the Park, and five species are new records for the State of
Tennessee. Voucher specimens of each species collected by the authors
are deposited in the GSMNP insect collection. In order to protect rare
organisms found in many of the surveyed habitats, summary locality data
is intentionally general, but more precise locality data are included in the
GSMNP database.
Significant Records
Dytiscidae
Agabetes acuductus (Harris) is a seldom collected woodland pool species
found among dense leaf litter (Spangler and Gordon 1973). Park specimens
were taken in temporary ponds from March to July at Cades Cove.
Hydaticus aruspex Clark is most commonly found in permanent ponds
with deep detritus and emergent aquatic plants, but occurs in a wide variety
of aquatic habitats (Hilsenhoff 1993). This species is found from Newfoundland
and Labrador west to British Columbia and Alaska, extending south to
Pennsylvania, Missouri, Colorado, and northern California (Larson et al.
2000). Park specimens were taken in temporary pools from July to September
at Cades Cove (Tennessee). New state record.
Hydrocolus defl atus (Fall) has been found in spring seepages, swamps,
and at lights (Ciegler 2003). This uncommonly collected coastal species is
known from New York to Florida, extending up the Mississippi River basin
to Illinois (Larson et al. 2000). Park specimens were taken in temporary
pools and seeps in May and June at Cades Cove and Sugarlands (Tennessee).
New state record.
Hydrocolus paugus (Fall) has been found among moss, in dense emergent
vegetation, and in debris along the margins of small pools, ponds, and
springs (Larson et al. 2000). This species is known from Newfoundland west
2008 C.L. Staines and A.J. Mayor 509
to Alaska and British Columbia, extending south into the New England states,
Iowa, Colorado, and Utah (Larson et al. 2000). Park specimens were taken in
woodland pools in August in Cades Cove. New state record.
Liodessus affinis (Say) has been found mostly in ponds, but is also collected
along the banks of streams (Larson et al. 2000). This species is known
from Newfoundland to Ontario and south to Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, and
Indiana (Larson et al. 2000). Park specimens were taken in temporary ponds
in May and June in Cades Cove. New state record.
Hydraenidae
Ochthebius contains 43 North American species. This genus is widespread
except for the Appalachian Mountains (Perkins 2001). Our Ochthebius
specimen does not key in Perkins (1980) and does not match the description
of any species; it may represent a species new to science. A single
specimen was taken in June at black light at Sugarlands (Tennessee).
Hydrophilidae
Dactylosternum abdominale (Fabricius) has been found in decaying
organic debris (Smetana 1978). The species has been reported from Alabama,
California, Florida, North Carolina, and Texas (Smetana 1978). A
single specimen was taken in bear dung in May at Tremont (Tennessee).
New state record.
Sperchopsis tessellatus (Ziegler) is associated with fast-fl owing streams
with sand or gravel bottoms; the most productive area for this species is under
exposed roots at the margin of streams (Spangler 1961). A single specimen
of this uncommon species was collected in April along Abrams Creek
(Cades Cove).
Discussion
The major goal of the ATBI is to identify all forms of life within the borders
of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Toward this end, this project has
increased four-fold the number of species representing eight aquatic beetle
families known from GSMNP (115 in 2006, up from 35 in 2003). The total
number of species in GSMNP is probably higher, and species will be added to
the Park list as the less accessible areas are inventoried. Due to sampling constraints,
it is likely some cryptic species were also missed.
Most of the species found in this study are taxa that are relatively widespread
in occurrence. The only uncommon species collected were Agabetes
acuductus, Hydroculus defl atus (Dytiscidae) and Sperchopsis tessellatus
(Hydrophilidae). The Ochthebius species (Hydraenidae) is the first record of
this genus from the Appalachian Mountains.
There are few comparable Nearctic studies of aquatic beetles. Young
(1955) reported 55 species in six families from springs in the Panhandle of
Florida. Lillie and Hilsenhoff (1992) reported 38 species in five families
on the Lower Wisconsin River. Chapman (1998) reported 145 species in
seven families from a 10,327-km2 area in northeastern Ohio. Staines and
510 Southeastern Naturalist Vol.7, No. 3
Staines (2005) reported 42 species in three families from a 925-ha island in
Maryland. Williams et al. (2007) reported 111 species in six of the families
covered in this report from a 8672-ha military base in Ohio. One possible
reason for the higher number of species found in the two Ohio projects is
the greater number of lentic habitats available in that region. Most GSMNP
aquatic habitats are lotic; the lentic habitats are concentrated in Cades Cove,
Cataloochee, and Metcalf Bottoms areas, but only one of these habitats is a
permanent pond, the rest are temporary pools and ponds.
This study serves as a starting point for assessing the aquatic and semiaquatic
beetle fauna of GSMNP and to monitoring future changes in the
fauna. To aid in this work, webpages with habitus photographs, descriptions,
and habitat preferences have been developed and posted for 114 of the species
found in this survey (http://www.dlia.org).
