Pest Profile Photo credit: James Solomon, USDA Forest Service, Bugwood.org Common Name: Aspen Carpenterworm Scientific Name: Acossus populi (Walker) Order and Family: Lepidoptera, Cossidae Size and Appearance: Length (mm) Appearance Egg 3-6 eggs are laid in a sticky mass in cracks and crevices on the outer bark of the host tree Larva/Nymph Cream colored 35 - 40 mm Shiny and hairless Dark brown head and thoracic shield Adult A stout-bodied moth Whitish-gray with yellowish Wingspan: 60 - 80mm gray and black markings Light gray forewings with a black pattern Females are slightly larger than males, have lighter coloration on their hindwings Males have feathery antennae Pupa (if applicable) Pupation occurs within galleries chewed by larvae within the tree Type of feeder (Chewing, sucking, etc.): Larvae have chewing mouthparts while the adults have sucking mouthparts Host plant/s: Poplar, Cottonwoods, and Aspen Description of Damage (larvae and adults): Damage is only caused by larvae. Their extensive feeding can cause branches to weaken and break. Larvae also chew large, weepy, circular exit holes at the base of the tree and in main branches. Girdling of the branch also disrupts the flow of nutrients and water within the tree causing dieback. References: BugwoodWiki. (2010, October 6). Aspen Carpenterworm.

Yakovlev. Carpenter moths (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) of Russia. SUMMARY. In this article the catalogue of Cossidae of Russia is presented. An annotated list including 32 species has been compiled. Two new species and two new subspecies: Catopta albonubila argunica, ssp. n. (Locus typicus: East Trasbaicalia, Kuenga, 45 km SW. Sretensk), Catopta perunovi, sp. n. (Locus typicus: Russia, Altai Rep., near Ongudai), Cossus cossus dauricus, ssp. n. (Locus typicus: Russia Transbaikalia, Chita Province, Nizhnii Tsasutchei), Phragmataecia pacifica, sp. n. (Locus typicus: Russia, Dagestan, 5 km E. Urma) are described. Besides, a new species from S. Mongolia Catopta saldaitisi, sp. n. (Locus typicus: S. Mongolia, Omnogovi Aimak, the Gobi Altai Mts., Gurvan Sayhan) is described. For each species bibliography and distribution map are given. Проводимая в последние годы работа по исследованию древоточцев (Сossidae) Евразии при- вела к описанию ряда новых таксонов с территории Палеарктики, позволила установить грани- цы распространения многих видов. В данной работе делается попытка представить полный ка- талог древоточцев России, выполненный как на основании анализа литературных данных, так и на большом фактическом материале. Исследованный материал хранится в ряде коллекций Рос- сии, Украины, Германии, Австрии. Приведен аннотированный список видов, включающий дан- ные о первичном описании, синонимии, месте хранения типового материала и распростране- нии. Для редких и малоизвестных видов и для новых таксонов приводятся полные данные эти- кеток. Для каждого вида приведена карта распространения на территории России.

MISCELLANEOUS SMALL FAMILIES (LEPIDOPTERA) Edward G. Voss1 ABSTRACT Forty-seven species in nine families of Lepidoptera (Hepialidae, Psychidae, Alucitidae, Sesiidae, Cossidae, Limacodidae, Thyrididae, Pterophoridae, Epiplemi- dae) are listed with earliest and latest recorded flight dates in Emmet and Cheboy- gan counties, which share the northern tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The records are from the principal institutional and private collections of Michigan moths and continue the documented listing of Lepidoptera in the region. ____________________ Emmet and Cheboygan counties share the northern tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, the former bordered on the west by Lake Michigan and the latter, on the east by Lake Huron.

The average amounts of Z5 – 12:OH, Z5 – 12:Ac, and Z5 – 14:Ac in a single sex pheromone gland of a calling moth were (7.14 ± 0.73) ng, (54.20 ± 0.34) ng, and (38.70 ± 0.46) ng, re- spectively. Electroantennography (EAG) of these compounds and their analogues demon- strated that Z5 – 12:Ac excitated the largest male EAG response, followed by Z5 – 14:Ac. Traps baited with rubber septa impregnated with Z5 – 12:Ac (500 μg/septum) and Z5 – 14:Ac (300 μg/septum) were more effective than traps with other baits or virgin females. Addition of Z5 – 12:OH to rubber septa did not enhance the trap catches, but (E,Z)-3,5-dodecadienyl acetate (E3,Z5 – 12:Ac) enhanced the trap catch.

SandersI ABSTRACT From May to September each year from 1960 through 1968, a collection of Lepidoptera was made at Black Sturgeon Lake, northwestern Ontario, from speci mens captured in a light trap and from specimens netted during the day. A total of 564 species was recorded from 70 families. A list of the species with dates of capture is presented. From 1960 through 1968, a 15-watt black-light trap was operated each year at a Forestry Canada field station at Black Sturgeon Lake, northwestern Ontario.

Scalercio & S. Greco Abstract In this paper we described the Heterocera fauna of the Calabrian black pine forest in the Sila Massif, southern Italy. We sampled 15 stands at 1270-1446 meters of altitude. One UV-Led light traps per stand was turned on once per month from May to November 2015 and from April to November 2016. We collected 18,827 individuals belonging to 367 species. Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Notodontidae) and Alcis repandata (Geometridae) were the most abundant species. Conifers are the main larval foodplant of 11 species and 4,984 individuals. Particularly interesting was the presence of Eupithecia indigata, discovered in Italy outside the Alps few years ago, abundant in pure Calabrian black pine stands. Also, the recently described Italian endemic Hylaea mediterranea was abundant, and together with E.

Effects of Standard Management Practices On, and Faunistics of Native Prairies
Conservation Biology Research Grants Program Division of Ecological Services Minnesota Department of Natural Resources EFFECTS OF STANDARD MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON, AND FAUNISTICS OF NATIVE PRAIRIES: A study of three sites in western Minnesota. Report submitted to: Minnesota and Wisconsin Departments of Natural Resources, The Nature Conservancy, and the R. J. Kose foundation. David Rider, Systematic Entomologist Gerald Fauske, Research specialist Paul Tinerella, Graduate student Department of Entomology North Dakota State University Fargo, ND May 2000 ABSTRACT From 1995 through 1999 an ongoing study was conducted to examine the effects of standard prairie management practices (burning, grazing, haying) and unmanaged prairie, with regard to arthropod communities. Additional objectives were to gather baseline data on the arthropod species present on remnant prairies of western Minnesota, to identify rare species found on theses sites, and if possible, to determine prairie indicator species which might be used to identify dry, mesic, or wet prairies types in a manner similar to the plant indicator species used in botanical studies. At present, nearly 35,000 insect specimens have been pinned, labeled, and identified representing more than 750 species. As additional material is processed and identified, we expect the number of species found on these sites to more than double, perhaps even triple. This report provides a summary of work completed as of May, 2000, and includes species lists, information on species distributions (state records and extensions of known species ranges), presence of rare or state endangered species on these prairies, diversity indices for prairie sites, types, and management practices, and management histories of the study areas.
