    Erection of a New Family in the Lepidopterous Suborder Dacnonypha

    Entomologiske M eddelelser 35 (1967) 341 Erection of a New Family in the Lepidopterous Suborder Dacnonypha. By N. P. Kristensen Zoological Institute, University of Copenhagen. The homoneurous moth genus Jlgathiphaga was described by Dumbleton in 1952. The genus comprises two species, occuring in Queensland (Australia) and on Fiji, respectively; the larvae of both feed in the seeds of Kauri pines (Agathis). The adult ana­ tomy indicated affinities to both Micropterygidae and Eriocranii­ dae; Dumbleton decided however, that the weight of evidence was for considering Agathiphaga as a specialized genus of Micropte­ rygidae. On the other hand Hinton (1958) after examining the Agathiphaga-larvae found these to possess several apomorph characters characteristic of Dacnonypha and higher Lepidoptera and to be devoid of any of the features characteristic of the Micropterygid larvae. He therefore concluded that the genus belongs to the Eriocraniidae or a closely related family. The correctness of the transferring of Agathiphaga to the suborder Dacnonypha cannot be doubted; however, in the adult anatomy the genus differs from the Eriocraniidae as well as from the other dacnonyphous families (Mnesarchaeidae, Neopseustidae) in many important features, and consequently has to be regarded as con­ stituting a separate family, which is defined below. Agathiphagidae fam. nov. Type-genus: Agathiphaga Dumbleton, 1952. D i a g no si s. Adult: Articulated mandibles present, galeae nol haustellate, lobular lacinia present, tibia 2 and 3 with paired subapical and apical spurs, forewing with closed cell between M and Cu, d -genitalia with long and simple, dorsally curved valvae, phallus with short posteriorly directed ventral apodeme. 22* 342 N.

    Quercus cerris Quercus cerris in Europe: distribution, habitat, usage and threats D. de Rigo, C. M. Enescu, T. Houston Durrant, G. Caudullo Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L.) is a deciduous tree native to southern Europe and Asia Minor, and a dominant species in the mixed forests of the Mediterranean basin. Turkey oak is a representative of section Cerris, a particular section within the genus Quercus which includes species for which the maturation of acorns occurs in the second year. Quercus cerris L., commonly known as Turkey oak, is a large fast-growing deciduous tree species growing to 40 m tall with 1 Frequency a trunk up to 1.5-2 m diameter , with a well-developed root < 25% system2. It can live for around 120-150 years3. The bark is 25% - 50% 50% - 75% mauve-grey and deeply furrowed with reddish-brown or orange > 75% bark fissures4, 5. Compared with other common oak species, e.g. Chorology Native sessile oak (Quercus petraea) and pedunculate oak (Quercus Introduced robur), the wood is inferior, and only useful for rough work such as shuttering or fuelwood1. The leaves are dark green above and grey-felted underneath6; they are variable in size and shape but are normally 9-12 cm long and 3-5 cm wide, with 7-9 pairs of triangular lobes6. The leaves turn yellow to gold in late autumn and drop off or persist in the crown until the next spring, especially on young trees3. The twigs are long and pubescent, grey or olive-green, with lenticels. The buds, which are concentrated Large shade tree in agricultural area near Altamura (Bari, South Italy).

    The Beetles Story

    NATURE The Beetles story They outshine butterflies and moths in the world of insects and are a delight for their sheer variety—from the brilliantly coloured to the abysmally dull. But they have their uses, too, such as in museums, where flesh-eating beetles are used to clean off skeletons. Text & photographs by GEETHA IYER THE GIRAFFE WEEVIL (Cycnotrachelus flavotuberosus). Weevils are a type of beetle and they are a menace to crops. 67 FRONTLINE . MARCH 31, 2017 HOW was this watery planet we so much love born? Was it created by God or born off the Big Bang? While arguments swing between science and religion, several ancient cultures had different and interesting per- spectives on how the earth came to be. Their ideas about this planet stemmed from their observations of nature. People living in close prox- imity to nature develop a certain sen- sitivity towards living creatures. They have to protect themselves from many of these creatures and at the same time conserve the very envi- ronment that nurtures them. So there is constant observation and in- teraction with nature’s denizens, es- pecially insects, the most proliferate among all animal groups that stalk every step of their lives. The logic for creation thus revolves around differ- ent types of insects, especially the most abundant amongst them: bee- WATER BEETLE.

  • The Structure of Cynipid Oak Galls: Patterns in the Evolution of an Extended Phenotype

    The Structure of Cynipid Oak Galls: Patterns in the Evolution of an Extended Phenotype

    The structure of cynipid oak galls: patterns in the evolution of an extended phenotype Graham N. Stone1* and James M. Cook2 1Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK ([email protected]) 2Department of Biology, Imperial College, Silwood Park, Ascot, Berkshire SL5 7PY, UK Galls are highly specialized plant tissues whose development is induced by another organism. The most complex and diverse galls are those induced on oak trees by gallwasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae: Cyni- pini), each species inducing a characteristic gall structure. Debate continues over the possible adaptive signi¢cance of gall structural traits; some protect the gall inducer from attack by natural enemies, although the adaptive signi¢cance of others remains undemonstrated. Several gall traits are shared by groups of oak gallwasp species. It remains unknown whether shared traits represent (i) limited divergence from a shared ancestral gall form, or (ii) multiple cases of independent evolution. Here we map gall character states onto a molecular phylogeny of the oak cynipid genus Andricus, and demonstrate three features of the evolution of gall structure: (i) closely related species generally induce galls of similar structure; (ii) despite this general pattern, closely related species can induce markedly di¡erent galls; and (iii) several gall traits (the presence of many larval chambers in a single gall structure, surface resins, surface spines and internal air spaces) of demonstrated or suggested adaptive value to the gallwasp have evolved repeatedly. We discuss these results in the light of existing hypotheses on the adaptive signi¢cance of gall structure. Keywords: galls; Cynipidae; enemy-free space; extended phenotype; Andricus layers of woody or spongy tissue, complex air spaces within 1.

    UDC 632.634.791.937 (477.75) © 2017 Checkered beetles moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) – hazardous phytophags of arboreal and shrubby plants of botanical gardens and plantings of Kiev M. Lisovyi, O. Sylchuk Natsional University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Heroev Oborony str., 13, Kyiv, 03041, Ukraine P. Chumak, V. Kovalchuk, Botanichny Garden of Acad. O. Fomina The purpose. To carry out probes on revealing and specification of species composition of checkered moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) in conditions of botanical gardens and plantings of Kiev. Methods. Standard methods of faunistic research in entomology, population ecology, and protection of plants. Results. It is determined that 24 kinds of checkered moths are eating 54 kinds of plants which are widely used for gardening in Kiev. For the first time the following kinds are revealed: Phyllonorycter issikii, Phyllonorycter platani, and Phyllonorycter emberizaepennella. At calculation of Palii-Kovnatski indexes they specified that in city plantings the dominant phytophags are Cameraria ohridella (94,11%), Phyllonorycter populifoliella (86,37%) and Gracillaria syringella (59,14%). They consider that in formation of the secondary areal of invasion kinds of checkered moths the great value has an areal of spread of the host-plant. Environmental analysis is carried out of checkered moths of family Gracillariidae which is spread in cities of the Europe and which are absent in fauna of cities of Ukraine. That has important theoretical and practical value for ecology, entomology and protection of plants against hazardous checkered moths. Conclusions. All the probed kinds of checkered moths by their trophic specialization may be distributed into polyphages (6 kinds), oligophages (14 kinds) and monophages (3 kinds).

Recently, an aggressive pest on cycads, the cycad aulacaspis scale (CAS)— Aulacaspis yasumatsui Takagi (Hemiptera: Diaspididae)—has spread through human activity and commerce to the point where two species of cycads face imminent extinction in the wild. Given its mission of cycad conservation, we believe the CSG should clearly focus its attention on mitigating the impact of CAS on wild cycad populations and cultivated cycad collections of conservation importance (e.g., Montgomery Botanical Center). The control of CAS in home gardens, commercial nurseries, and city landscapes is outside the scope of this report and is a topic covered in various online resources (see www.montgomerybotanical.org/Pages/CASlinks.htm).

    Streszczenie Ekologiczne Aspekty Interakcji Galasotwórczych

    Streszczenie Ekologiczne aspekty interakcji galasotwórczych pryszczarków Hartigiola annulipes i Mikiola fagi z bukiem Fagus sylvatica Niniejsza praca poświęcona została ekologicznym zależnościom między bukiem zwyczajnym a owadami tworzącym galasy na liściach. Galasy jako struktury, których rozwój i wzrost indukowany jest przez wybrane grupy bezkręgowców, stanowią obciążenie dla roślinnego gospodarza. Jedną z najbogatszych w gatunki zdolne do tworzenia wyrośli grup owadów stanowią pryszczarki (Cecidomyiidae; Diptera). Dwa badane gatunki pryszczarków: garnusznica bukowa (Mikiola fagi) i hartigiolówka bukowa (Hartigiola annulipes), mimo podobnego cyklu życiowego i takiego samego gospodarza, tworzą odmienne morfologicznie galasy. W niniejszej rozprawie wykazano, że garnusznica bukowa wraz ze wzrostem długości blaszki liścia buka ma tendencję do indukcji mniejszej liczby galasów. Co więcej, im więcej galasów na liściu, tym większa szansa na wystąpienie reakcji nadwrażliwej ze strony gospodarza. Zależność ta dotyczy zarówno garnusznicy, jak i hartigiolówki, reakcja nadwrażliwa odpowiedzialna jest za odpowiednio 40% i 51% śmiertelności galasów, i nie zależy od wielkości liścia. W przypadku drugiego wymienionego gatunku, większe liście charakteryzują się nieznacznie większą liczebnością galasów. Hartigiolówka wykazuje niewielkie preferencje wobec liści zwróconych na wschód, unika zaś te o wystawie południowej, ponadto częściej indukuje galasy w środkowej części liścia, a najrzadziej w dystalnej. W zależności od wybranej strefy liścia zmienia się

Està representada per 884 gales que pertanyen a 194 espècies diferents d’agents cecidògens incloent-hi insectes, àcars, fongs i proteobacteris. Els hostes dels agents cecidògens de la coŀlecció estudiada es troben representats per 114 espècies diferents, agrupa- des en 36 famílies, que inclouen formes arbòries, arbustives i herbàcies, on els òrgans vegetals més afectats són les fulles i els borrons. La coŀlecció Vilarrúbia és una mostra ben clara de la diversitat de cecidis que tenim a Catalunya. Paraules clau: gales, fitocecídies zoocecídies, Vilarrúbia, MCNB. Abstract Study of the galls of the Vilarrúbia collection deposited at the Museum of Natural Sciences of Barcelona The gall collection of Antoni Vilarrúbia i Garet deposited in the Barcelona Natural History Museum was reviewed, documented and photographed.
