International INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a manuscript sent to us for publication and microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to pho­ tograph and reproduce this manuscript, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. Pages in any manuscript may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. Manuscripts may not always be complete. When it is not possible to obtain missing pages, a note appears to indicate this. 2. When copyrighted materials are removed from the manuscript, a note ap­ pears to indicate this. 3. Oversize materials (maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sec­ tioning the original, beginning at the upper left hand corner and continu­ ing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or in black and white paper format. * 4. Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or micro­ fiche but lack clarity on xerographic copies made from the microfilm.

Influence of mating regimen on fecundity females (n=10) given 50 beans for oviposition.................................. 35 2. The effect of length of development from egg to adult and competition within the bean on fecundity. The means for each set were tested (t-test) against the early emerging females.................................... 37 3. Effect of feeding on the fecundity of pairs placed on 50 berkin beans.................. 39 4. Pattern of oviposition based on counts from five females taken at each time interval from a cohort of isolated pairs on 50 beans. Negative values can be obtained because the eggs deposited during an interval were estimated by subtracting the average at the start of the period from average at the end of the period.......................... 43 5. The average (s.d.) fecundity for females (n=10) given different number of beans for oviposition. ............................. 51 6. The eggs deposited by females given 0, 1, and 10 beans and then tansferred to a dish with 50 beans for the rest of her life. The sum is the total eggs laid before and after transfer. Averages (n=10) were compared (t-test) to controls on 50 beans (mean 77.4, s.d. 11.1, n=5)............... 52 v 7. The density of eggs per bean at which the females first begin to add a second egg to beans.

  • The Genus Bruchus Was Restricted by Schilsky (6
    THE HAIRY-VETCH BRUCHID, BRUCHUS BRACHIALIS FAHRAEUS, IN THE UNITED STATES ' By J. C. BRIDWELL, formerly Specialist in Bruchidae and Their Parasites, Division of Stored Product Insects^ Bureau of Entomology, and L. J. BOTTIMER, Assistant Entomologist^ Food and Drug Administration, United States Department of Agriculture INTRODUCTION The genus Bruchus was restricted by Schilsky (6) ^ to include only the immediate allies of Bruchus pisorum (L.), the pea weevil, of which he tabulated 24 species knowQ to him. To these may be added others doubtfully distinct, imperfectly known, or more recently described, which increase the nominal species of the genus to a total of about 46. All these species are native to the Palearctic region. Two of them are already well known in the United States as major pests of the plants affected. B. pisorum was the first of the genus and one of the first species of the family to be recognized. It was described in 1752, and was recorded as having destroyed in the 1740's the flourishing colonial American industry of producing dry peas for ships' stores. B. ruß- manus Boheman, the broadbean weevil, has now practically destroyed the broadbean industry of Caüfornia. A third species, B, hrachialis Fahraeus, has in recent years gained a foothold in this country, for in 1931 the junior author found it heavily infesting the seeds of vetches growing in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and North Carolina, and in 1932 it was found in Virginia. In view of these facts it seems wise to present a brief summary of the knowledge at present available of the habits of the members of this genus and to point out the increased danger of their estabhshment in the United States as a result of changed commercial conditions.

  • United States Department of Agriculture LIST of INTERCEPTED
    Bur.Ent. & P. Q. Issued May 1939 United States Department of Agriculture BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY AND PLANT QUARANTINE SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS LIST OF INTERCEPTED PLANT PESTS, 1937 (List of Pests Recorded During the Period July 1, 1936, to June 30, 1937, In- clusive, as Intercepted in, on, or with Plants and Plant Products Entering United States Territory.) INTRODUCTION The period covered by this report represents the twenty-fourth year for which lists of intercepted plant pests have been issued. While the earlier reports gave the details regarding practically all organisms found on the plant material in- spected, the present paper omits many organisms entirely and summarizes the interceptions of many common or incompletely determined pests in short para- graphs, hence the detailed table contains only a fraction of the total findings. This report is based on interceptions for which determinations were received and indexed during the fiscal year. Determinations for collections made late in the year are often received after the close of the year and are included with those of the following year. The summarized records cover pests intercepted in, on, or with plants and plant products (1) imported, (2) offered for but refused entry, (3) held as ships' stores, etc., and hence not imported through customs, (4) offered for entry for immediate export or for immediate transportation and exportation in bond, and (5) in domestic shipments reaching the mainland from Hawaii and Puerto Rico. A cross-indexed file covering the more important and interesting interceptions is maintained in Washington and serves as the basis for this list.

In 2006, 126 samples of seeds or fruits Introduction of Leguminoseae and Cistaceae, corresponding to 80 plant species, were collected in various regions of Bul- garia. Twenty-two species of Bruchidius were obtained The taxonomy of Bulgarian seed beetles is mainly known through the works of Borowiec [1980, 1983, from these samples, among which 4 species are new for 1984, 1986] and Wendt [1984]. Borowiec & Anton Bulgaria: B. astragali, B. borowieci, B. marginalis and B. varipes. In this process, 12 plants were identified as [1993], Decelle [1983], Decelle & Lodos [1989], Anton [2001] and Zampetti [1981] also contributed to this new Bruchidius hosts; among these, B. lineatus was knowledge in various ways. Borowiec [1983] showed reared from seeds of Lathyrus aphaca, the only ascer- tained host of a Bruchidius species to belong to the that the Bulgarian fauna is predominantly composed of circum-Mediterranean elements, completed by a few subtribe Vicieae. Male genitalia of two Bruchidius, B. elements of Euro-Palaearctic, Euro-Siberian and Cau- astragali and B.
