Smith\u2019s \u201cDarwin\u2019s Insects, Charles Darwin&#8217;s Entomological Notes,\u201d published in 1987, which documented everything Smith could find of the Darwin collection.<\/p>\n<p>With its unusual razor-like antenna, jewel-tone colors, and substantial size of nearly two centimeters, it\u2019s surprising it was overlooked, never examined by an expert and described for the scientific community.<\/p>\n<p>That became the job of Chatzimanolis. He has described it as a new genus and species of Xanthopygina, \u201ca group of large and colorful rove beetles distributed in the New World tropics.\u201d Most of the beetles Chatzimanolis works with are much smaller.\u00a0 He named the newly found beetle <i>Darwinilus sedarisi<\/i> in honor of Darwin and David Sedaris, a writer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile I was doing this work, I listened to about seven or eight of David Sedaris\u2019 books on tape.\u00a0 He\u2019s a quirky guy with a great sense of humor.\u00a0 In his books, you can tell he\u2019s fascinated with insects and arachnids.\u00a0 The name is in appreciation for Sedaris\u2019 fascination with the natural world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Chatzimanolis\u2019 academic paper \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pensoft.net\/journal_home_page.php?journal_id=1&amp;page=article&amp;SESID=b91e064995c63a0aaeee470d8604d623&amp;type=show&amp;article_id=6624&amp;issue_id=&amp;ttar=da&amp;search=Stylianos%20Chatzimanolis&amp;IN=Journals&amp;TIP=&amp;Image100_x=0&amp;Image100_y=0&amp;\"><b>Darwin\u2019s legacy to rove beetles (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae): A new genus and a new species, including materials collected on the Beagle\u2019s voyage<\/b><\/a><b>\u201d <\/b>was published in the open access, peer-reviewed online journal <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pensoft.net\/journals\/zookeys\">ZooKeys<\/a> on February 12, 2014\u2014what would have been Darwin\u2019s 205th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>Though most birds and mammals have been described by scientists, Chatzimanolis says they are still in the \u201cdiscovery phase\u201d with insects.\u00a0 There are more than one million species of described insects, but conservative estimates suggest there are five million insects that have not been described.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the issues in my field is how we are expediting the discovery process, because we want to discover these insects before they become extinct,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Chatzimanolis became interested in beetles as an undergraduate.\u00a0 During his sophomore year at the University of Crete in Greece he volunteered at the Natural History Museum there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe plan was to rotate among different labs.\u00a0 So you would start with insects, then go to mollusks, then to reptiles.\u00a0 But I got so fascinated by beetles that I got stuck!\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the Darwin specimen, only one other <i>Darwinilus sedarisi<\/i> specimen was collected about a hundred years ago, several hundred miles away from where Darwin collected the first specimen in Argentina.\u00a0 When Darwin found the beetle, it was living in a forest.\u00a0 Now the land that lies between where the two specimens were collected has been converted to agricultural fields, something Chatzimanolis believes could have led to the beetle\u2019s demise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know the role this insect had in its environment,\u201d Chatzimanolis said. \u201cThat\u2019s one of the problems when things go extinct without us studying them first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cover photo credit:\u00a0 Natural History Museum, London<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charles Darwin is not only known as the father of evolution, he also has a reputation as an excellent field biologist.
