C. Lee 1, Stacey J. Anderson2, Lucy T. T. Tran-Nguyen3, Nader Sallam4, Bruno P. Le Ru5,6, Desmond Conlong7,8, Kevin Powell 9, Andrew Ward10 & Andrew Mitchell1 Lepidopteran stemborers are among the most damaging agricultural pests worldwide, able to reduce crop yields by up to 40%. Sugarcane is the world’s most prolifc crop, and several stemborer species from the families Noctuidae, Tortricidae, Crambidae and Pyralidae attack sugarcane. Australia is currently free of the most damaging stemborers, but biosecurity eforts are hampered by the difculty in morphologically distinguishing stemborer species. Here we assess the utility of DNA barcoding in identifying stemborer pest species. We review the current state of the COI barcode sequence library for sugarcane stemborers, assembling a dataset of 1297 sequences from 64 species. Sequences were from specimens collected and identifed in this study, downloaded from BOLD or requested from other authors. We performed species delimitation analyses to assess species diversity and the efectiveness of barcoding in this group. Seven species exhibited <0.03 K2P interspecifc diversity, indicating that diagnostic barcoding will work well in most of the studied taxa. We identifed 24 instances of identifcation errors in the online database, which has hampered unambiguous stemborer identifcation using barcodes. Instances of very high within-species diversity indicate that nuclear markers (e.g. 18S, 28S) and additional morphological data (genitalia dissection of all lineages) are needed to confrm species boundaries.

ZooKeys 713: 25–52. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.713.15118 Abstract Based on samples collected during surveys of Brazilian cave fauna, seven earwig species are reported: Cy- lindrogaster cavernicola Kamimura, sp. n., Cylindrogaster sp. 1, Cylindrogaster sp. 2, Euborellia janeirensis, Euborellia brasiliensis, Paralabellula dorsalis, and Doru luteipes, as well as four species identified to the (sub) family level. To date, C. cavernicola Kamimura, sp. n. has been recorded only from cave habitats (but near entrances), whereas the other four organisms identified at the species level have also been recorded from non-cave habitats. Wings and female genital structures of Cylindrogaster spp. (Cylindrogastrinae) are examined for the first time. The genital traits, including the gonapophyses of the 8th abdominal segment shorter than those of the 9th segement, and venation of the hind wings of Cylindrogastrinae correspond to those of the members of Diplatyidae and not to Pygidicranidae.

MARSHALL1 1School of Environmental Sciences, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1G 2W1 email, [email protected] Abstract J. ent. Soc. Ont. 145: 61–76 The following seven orthopteroid taxa are recorded from Canada for the first time: Anaxipha species 1, Cyrtoxipha gundlachi Saussure, Chloroscirtus forcipatus (Brunner von Wattenwyl), Neoconocephalus exiliscanorus (Davis), Camptonotus carolinensis (Gerstaeker), Scapteriscus borellii Linnaeus, and Melanoplus punctulatus griseus (Thomas). One further species, Neoconocephalus retusus (Scudder) is recorded from Ontario for the first time. An updated checklist of the orthopteroids of Ontario is provided, along with notes on changes in nomenclature. Published December 2014 Introduction Vickery and Kevan (1985) and Vickery and Scudder (1987) reviewed and listed the orthopteroid species known from Canada and Alaska, including 141 species from Ontario. A further 15 species have been recorded from Ontario since then (Skevington et al. 2001, Marshall et al. 2004, Paiero et al. 2010) and we here add another eight species or subspecies, of which seven are also new Canadian records. Notes on several significant provincial range extensions also are given, including two species originally recorded from Ontario on bugguide.net.

C. rufilabris did not discriminate between healthy and virus-infected prey, although the mean search time was approximately two times longer towards virus-infected larvae. In contrast, D. taeniatum directed a greater propor- tion of their attacks towards virus-infected prey but there was no significant difference in the search time. Prey consumption time did not differ significantly for each type of prey by either predator, although prey consumption was much faster in D. taeniatum. Viable virus was detected in D. taeniatum faeces up to 3 d after feeding on infected S. frugiperda larvae, whereas virus was inactivated in the gut of C. rufilabris. Both predators were shown to have acidic guts. A field experiment demonstrated that D.

Photo on back: A "master farmer" and her child at the InterCRSP workshop on weevil disinfestation and storage techniques near Tamale, Ghana on November 5, 1997. Her t-shirt serves as a means of visually identifying farmers who know the techniques and can teach them to others. This technology transfer workshop is part of the project, "Adaptive Research with InterCRSP Natural Resource Management Technologies for Regional Transfer in West Africa," a collaborative effort of two Collaborative Research Support Programs which developed the technologies - the BeanICowpea CRSP and INTSORMIL - in partnership with a non-governmental organization - World Vision International (WVI) - which transfers the technologies to farmers and farm families. The project makes technologies such as improved varieties of sorghum, pearl millet, and cowpeas, improved cultural practices, improved post-harvest seed processing and storage techniques available to farm families throughout Chad, Ghana, Mali, Niger, and Senegal. This innovative partnership in which WVI extends technologies developed by the two CRSPs to end users in several West African Countries is supported by the Africa Bureau of the U.S. Agency for International Development.
