ABSTRACT Fruit flies were regularly trapped by using four different-colored sticky traps in four bamboo cultivation areas in the vicinity of Taipei from January 1996 to May 1999. In total, 136,160 fruit flies of 62 species were captured. Among them, five species belonged to the Ceratitidinae, eight to the Phytalmiinae, 33 to the Trypetinae, 11 to the Dacinae, and five to the Tephritinae. Carpophthoracidia matsumotoi Shiraki was new to Taiwan. Seasonal population fluctuations of 27 fruit fly species were observed. Their composition among the bamboo stands varied from six predominant species and represented 89.97% to 96.87% of the individuals captured. Five preponderant species, i.e. Acrotaeniostola sexvittata Hendel, Acroceratitis plumosa Hendel, Gastrozona fasciventris (Macquart), Euphranta chrysopila Hendel, and Ptilona persimilis Hendel, were always associated with bamboo. Fly populations varied greatly among and within the study areas; however, their peak population densities coincided with the bamboo shoot production season, and the availability of bamboo shoots could be considered the most important environmental factor affecting population fluctuations of bamboo shoot fruit flies. The survey showed that yellow was the most attractive color to most of the fruit flies, followed in order by green, blue, and white. However, blue and white sticky traps captured most of the Euphranta species. Results of this study support colored traps can be used as a tool for monitoring non-frugivorus fruit flies, and their effectiveness can be enhanced if they are used in combinations of yellow or green traps with white or blue traps.

L. Stibick Introduction Introduction Fruit flies in the family Tephritidae are high profile insects among commercial fruit and vegetable growers, marketing exporters, government regulatory agencies, and the scientific community. Locally, producers face huge losses without some management scheme to control fruit fly populations. At the national and international level, plant protection agencies strictly regulate the movement of potentially infested products. Consumers throughout the world demand high quality, blemish-free produce. Partly to satisfy these demands, the costs to local, state and national governments are quite high and increasing as world trade, and thus risk, increases. Thus, fruit flies impose a considerable resource tax on participants at every level, from producer to shipper to the importing state and, ultimately, to the consumer. (McPheron & Steck, 1996) Indeed, in the United States alone, the running costs per year to APHIS, Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ), (the federal Agency responsible) for maintenance of trapping systems, laboratories, and identification are in excess of US$27 million per year and increasing. This figure only accounts for a fraction of total costs throughout the country, as State, County and local governments put in their share as well as the local industry affected.

New Species and New Records of Tephritidae (Diptera) from New Caledonia ALLEN L. NORRBOM Systematic Entomology Laboratory, PSI, ARS, USDA, c/o National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D. C. 20560-0168, USA; e-mail: [email protected] DAVID L. HANCOCK P.O. Box 2464, Cairns, Queensland 4870, Australia Abstract Tephritidae collected from New Caledonia by M.E. Irwin, E.I. Schlinger, and D.W. Webb were stud- ied and identified. The 18 species represented include 3 new species, Austronevra irwini, Ceratitella schlingeri, and Euphranta hardyi, and 6 species reported from New Caledonia for the first time. The total number of Tephritidae from the island is increased from 16 to 25. Introduction D. Elmo Hardy was one of the most prolific taxonomists to study the family Tephritidae. He pro- posed more than 460 tephritid species names, second only to E.M. Hering in this regard, and he named the most valid species (Norrbom et al., 1999a). His large monographic works and cataloging efforts on the Oriental and Australasian faunas have paved the way for continued progress by his suc- cessors. Therefore we are honored to dedicate this paper to his memory. The fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) fauna of New Caledonia is poorly known. Only 15 species were recorded by Norrbom et al. (1999b), 11 belonging to the genus Bactrocera. Euphranta lemnis- cata (Enderlein) was also recently recorded by Hancock & Drew (2003).

  • Tanzanimyia, a New Afrotropical Genus of Schistopterini (Diptera
    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY, Vol. 50 (1), pp. 19–39 (8 June 2020) Tanzanimyia, a new Afrotropical genus of Schistopterini with four new species (Diptera: Tephritidae: Tephritinae) Amnon Freidberg, Irina Zonstein & Ariel-Leib-Leonid Friedman The Steinhardt Museum of Natural History, Israel National Center for Biodiversity Studies, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT A new genus of schistopterine fruit-flies, Tanzanimyia, and four new species, T. flavicauda, T. reticulata, T. tanzaniaensis and T. ugandaensis (type species), are described from Equatorial Africa, based on adults. The larvae of T. ugandaensis and T. reticulata infest the flower heads of Bothriocline fusca, and those of T. reticulata also infest the flower heads of Gutenbergia cordifolia var. cordifolia (Asteraceae: Vernonieae). Illustrations of taxonomically relevant body parts of both sexes are provided, primarily for the two reared species. An identification key for the new species is compiled. KEYWORDS: Afrotropical, biodiversity, Tephritinae, Schistopterini, fruit-flies, identification key, new genus, new species, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION The Schistopterini (Tephritidae: Tephritinae) is a moderately large tribe, containing at least 200 species, assigned to 15 genera, although about two-thirds of the species are still undescribed, and some of them belong to undescribed genera (Freidberg 2002; Zonstein & Freidberg 2006). The goal of this study is to describe Tanzanimyia, a new genus of Schistopterini, and its four new species, all from Equatorial Africa, as another step in our ongoing revision of this tribe (Freidberg 2002; Zonstein & Freidberg 2006). In Freidberg’s (2002) key to the schistopterine genera, Tanzanimyia runs to the couplets distinguishing between the Australo-Oriental-Palearctic genus Cal loptera Freidberg and the complex of five Afrotropical genera: Cordylopterix Hering, Melanopterella Freidberg, Schistotephritis Freidberg, Heringomyia Hardy and Clematochaeta Hering.

Used in conjunction with my catalog of Tephritidae published in 1967, this bulletin provides a means of identifying about two-thirds of the more than 600 species of fruit flies known to occur south of Texas and Florida.

  • Invertebrates Recorded from the Northern Marianas Islands Status 2002
    INVERTEBRATES RECORDED FROM THE NORTHERN MARIANAS ISLANDS STATUS 2002 O. BOURQUIN, CONSULTANT COLLECTIONS MANAGER : CNMI INVERTEBRATE COLLECTION CREES - NORTHERN MARIANAS COLLEGE, SAIPAN DECEMBER 2002 1 CONTENTS Page Introduction 3 Procedures 3 Problems and recommendations 5 Acknowledgements 11 Appendix 1 Policy and protocol for Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas (CNMI) invertebrate collection 12 Appendix 2 Taxa to be included in the CNMI collection 15 Appendix 3 Biodiversity of CNMI and its representation in CNMI collection 19 References 459 2 INTRODUCTION This report is based on work done under contract from March 1st 2001 to December 1st, 2002 on the CNMI Invertebrate collection, Northern Marianas College, Saipan. The collection was started by Dr. L.H. Hale during 1970, and was resurrected and expanded from 1979 due to the foresight and energy of Dr “Jack” Tenorio, who also contributed a great number of specimens. Originally the collection was intended as an insect collection to assist identification of insects affecting agriculture, horticulture and silviculture in the Northern Marianas, and to contribute to the ability of pupils and students to learn more about the subject. During 2001 the collection was expanded to include all terrestrial and freshwater invertebrates, and a collection management protocol was established (see Appendices 1 and 2). The collection was originally owned by the CNMI Department of Land and Natural Resources , and was on loan to the NMC Entomology Unit for curation. During 2001 it was transferred to the NMC by agreement with Dr. “Jack” Tenorio, who emphasized the need to maintain separate teaChing material as well as identified specimens in the main collection.
