The Leaf-Feeding Sawfly (Pachynematus Sp) in Michigan

Field Crops The leaf-feeding sawfly (Pachynematus sp) Entomology MSU Program in Michigan wheat fields Chris DiFonzo, Field Crops Entomologist Picture credits: CDD #029 Howard Russell, Diagnostic Services Paul Gross, Gary Heilig, Howard Russell, June 2010 Michigan State University Ben Yost & Chris DiFonzo Sawflies are insects in the Order Hymenoptera, related to bees, wasps, and ants. They are named for their saw-like ovipositor, or egg laying device, used to insert eggs into plant material. Sawfly larvae resemble caterpillars, but they are easily distinguished by their numerous fleshy prolegs. Moth and butterfly caterpillars have 5 or fewer pairs of prolegs, while sawfly larvae have 7-8 pairs. Many sawfly feed on trees and are forest pest, but some feed on grass (below) and cereal crops. Sawfly larva with numerous fleshy prolegs Sawfly larva in turf Sawfly adult In wheat, sawflies in the genus Pachynematus are reported to feed on leaves. Leaf-feeding sawflies may occur in the same field with true armyworm (above), but the two pests differ both in color and in number of prolegs (true armyworm with only 5 pairs, and Pachynematus with 8 pairs). A sawfly larva proudly shows off the head it clipped. Sawflies have also been observed head clipping. In Michigan this summer, an increase in head-clipped wheat is attributed to sawflies. Even in mixed populations of armyworm and sawfly, sawflies appear to be responsible for much of the clipping. The clipping occurs even when there is no leaf feeding, and during the day, when sawfly larvae are active. One observer reported that sawflies bit into the stem, causing the head to fall, then drank the liquid oozing from the cut (right). In many cases, tiller heads were clipped, which likely does not contribute to yield loss. But if heads of main stems are damaged, this is a concern. We recommend scouting wheat by shaking stems so larvae drop, then examining the ground for both armyworms and sawflies. The threshold for armyworm is 2 per square foot, and this threshold can be used in mixed populations of armyworm and sawfly to make a spray decision.

Hymenoptera: Symphyta: Pamphiliidae, Siricidae, Cephidae) from the Okanagan Highlands, Western North America S
1 New early Eocene Siricomorpha (Hymenoptera: Symphyta: Pamphiliidae, Siricidae, Cephidae) from the Okanagan Highlands, western North America S. Bruce Archibald,1 Alexandr P. Rasnitsyn Abstract—We describe three new genera and four new species (three named) of siricomorph sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) from the Ypresian (early Eocene) Okanagan Highlands: Pamphiliidae, Ulteramus republicensis new genus, new species from Republic, Washington, United States of America; Siricidae, Ypresiosirex orthosemos new genus, new species from McAbee, British Columbia, Canada; and Cephidae, Cuspilongus cachecreekensis new genus, new species from McAbee and another cephid treated as Cephinae species A from Horsefly River, British Columbia, Canada. These are the only currently established occurrences of any siricomorph family in the Ypresian. We treat the undescribed new siricoid from the Cretaceous Crato Formation of Brazil as belonging to the Pseudosiricidae, not Siricidae, and agree with various authors that the Ypresian Megapterites mirabilis Cockerell is an ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). The Miocene species Cephites oeningensis Heer and C. fragilis Heer, assigned to the Cephidae over a century and a half ago, are also ants. Many of the host plants that siricomporphs feed upon today first appeared in the Eocene, a number of these in the Okanagan Highlands in particular. The Okanagan Highlands sites where these wasps were found also had upper microthermal mean annual temperatures as are overwhelmingly preferred by most modern siricomorphs, but were uncommon

Rand, Debra K. Waters, Thomas G. Shanower Abstract*We examined rates of late-season parasitism of larvae of the wheat stem sawfly, Cephus cinctus Norton (Hymenoptera: Cephidae), by native species of Bracon F. (Hymenop- tera: Braconidae) over 8 years in Montana and North Dakota, United States of America. We found that rates of parasitism of larvae in diapause chambers reached a maximum of 46%, exceeding the previously reported maximum of 2.5% in 75% of sites and years examined.

Spermatodes- mata occur in all examined taxa within the sawfly grade (Xyelidae-Orussidae inclusive), but are not found in the Apocrita. Using DAPI staining, the numbers of individual sperm per sperma- todesm were calculated and the values obtained are mapped on to the current phylogenetic hy- pothesis. The plesiomorphic spermatodesm in the Hymenoptera, based on that observed in the putatively basal family Xyelidae, contains relatively few sperm, approximately 16. However, in the Tenthredinoidea and in the Siricidae, far larger numbers are found, reaching up to 256 in the Cimbicidae. In many insects, mature sperm released Until now, spermatodesmata have only from testicular follicles are neither free in- been characterised in a few sawflies, al- dividuals nor packaged into variously most entirely as part of ultrastructural in- complex spermatophores, but are ar- vestigations using transmission electron ranged in organised bundles with their microscopy (Quicke et al.

British Ichneumonid Wasps ID Guide
Beginner’s guide to identifying British ichneumonids By Nicola Prehn and Chris Raper 1 Contents Introduction Mainly black-bodied species with orange legs – often with long ovipositors What are ichneumonids? Lissonota lineolaris Body parts Ephialtes manifestator Tromatobia lineatoria (females only) Taking good photos of them Perithous scurra (females only) Do I have an ichneumonid? Apechthis compunctor (females only) Pimpla rufipes (black slip wasp. females only) Which type of ichneumonid do I have? Rhyssa persuasoria (sabre wasp) Large and/or colourful species Possible confusions - Lissonata setosa Amblyjoppa fuscipennis Nocturnal, orange-bodied species – sickle wasps Amblyjoppa proteus Enicospilus ramidulus Achaius oratorius Ophion obscuratus Amblyteles armatorius Opheltes glaucopterus Ichneumon sarcitorius Netelia tarsata Ichneumon xanthorius Possible confusions - Ophion luteus Ichneumon stramentor Wing comparison Callajoppa cirrogaster and Callajoppa exaltatoria Others Possible confusions - Ichneumon suspiciosus Alomya debellator Acknowledgements Further reading 2 Introduction Ichneumonids, species of the family Ichneumonidae, are difficult to identify because so many look similar. Identifications are usually made using tiny features only visible under a microscope, which Subfamily Species makes the challenge even harder. This guide attempts to allow beginners to name 22 of the most Alomyinae Alomya debellator identifiable or most frequently encountered species from eight of the 32 subfamilies in Britain. It is Banchinae Lissonota lineolaris not a comprehensive guide but intended as an introduction, using characters that are often visible in Lissonata setosa photos or in the field. Ctenopelmatinae Opheltes glaucopterus For a more detailed guide, Gavin Broad’s Identification Key to the Subfamilies of Ichneumonidae is a Ichneumoninae Amblyjoppa fuscipennis good introduction for people who have a microscope or very good hand lens.
