In addition, the subgeneric arrangement of the species is unstable, and proposals segregating Chryso- lina species into new genera have been recently suggested. In this context, the availability of a phylogenetic framework would provide the basis for a stable taxonomic system, but the existing phylogenies are based on few taxa and have low resolution.

Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e61349. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.9.e61349 Abstract The leaf beetle Chrysolina (Chrysolinopsis) americana (Linnaeus, 1758), commonly known as the Rosemary beetle, is native to some parts of the Mediterranean region. In the last few decades, it has expanded its distribution to new regions in the North and Eastern Mediterranean basin. Chrysolina americana feeds on plants of the Lamiaceae family, such as Rosmarinus officinalis, Lavandula spp., Salvia spp., Thymus spp. and others. Chrysolina americana is considered a pest, as many of its host plants are of commercial importance and are often used as ornamentals in house gardens and green public spaces. In this work, we report the first occurrence of C. americana in Cyprus and we present its establishment, expansion and distribution across the Island, through recordings for the period 2015 – 2020. The study was initiated from a post on a Facebook group, where the species was noticed in Cyprus for the first time, indicating that social media and citizen science can be particularly helpful in biodiversity research.

Triponez & R. E. Naisbit & J. B. Jean-Denis & M. Rahier & N. Alvarez Received: 2 April 2007 /Revised: 26 June 2007 /Accepted: 20 August 2007 / Published online: 21 September 2007 # Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2007 Abstract Chemical defense plays a central role for many herbivorous insects in their interactions with predators and host plants. The leaf beetle genus Oreina (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) includes species able to both sequester pyrrolizidine alkaloids and autogenously produce cardenolides. Sequestered compounds are clearly related to patterns of host-plant use, but variation in de novo synthesized cardenolides is less obviously linked to the environment. In this study, intraspecific variation in cardenolide composition was examined by HPLC–MS analysis in 18 populations of Oreina speciosa spanning Europe from the Massif Central to the Balkans. This revealed the defense secretion to be a complex blend of up to 42 compounds per population. There was considerable geographical variation in the total sample of 50 compounds detected, with only 14 found in all sites. The environmental and genetic influences on defense chemistry were investigated by correlation with distance matrices based on habitat factors, host-plant use, and genetics (sequence data from COI, COII, and 16s rRNA). This demonstrated an influence of both genetics and host- plant use on the overall blend of cardenolides and on the presence of some of the individual compounds.

Two new species of the genus Chrysolina Motschulsky, 1860, C. jelineki Daccordi & Yang, sp. nov. and C. (Chrysocrosita) josefi Daccordi & Ge, sp. nov., are described from China and Chrysolina (Pezocrosita) kozlovi Lopatin, 1988 is redescribed. Habitus, aedeagi, spermathecae, antennae of male and female and fore tarsi of male of the three species are illustrated, as well as the larva of C. kozlovi. Chrysolina kozlovi is most likely viviparous. The genus Doeberlia Warchałowski, 2007 is treated as a new synonym of the subgenus Timarchomela Achard, 1922. Chrysolina (Timarchomela) doeberli Daccordi & Yang, nom. nov. is proposed as a substitute name for Doeberlia subopaca Warchałowski, 2007. Key words. Chrysomelidae, Chrysomelinae, Chrysolina, new species, new syno- nymy, homonymy replacement, viviparity, China Introduction Chrysolina Motschulsky, 1860 is the largest genus in the leaf beetle subfamily Chrysomeli- nae. It is distributed in Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, and introduced in South America and Australia. In China it is very diverse, with 98 species occurring throughout the country and especially in western China.

  • A Study on the Genus Chrysolina MOTSCHULSKY, 1860, with A
    Genus Vol. 12 (2): 105-235 Wroc³aw, 30 VI 2001 A study on the genus Chrysolina MOTSCHULSKY, 1860, with a checklist of all the described subgenera, species, subspecies, and synonyms (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Chrysomelinae) ANDRZEJ O. BIEÑKOWSKI Zelenograd, 1121-107, Moscow, K-460, 103460, Russia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. A checklist of all known Chrysolina species is presented. Sixty five valid subgenera, 447 valid species and 251 valid subspecies are recognized. The following new synonymy is established: Chrysolina (Apterosoma MOTSCHULSKY) (=Caudatochrysa BECHYNÉ), Ch. (Synerga WEISE) (=Chrysonotum J. SAHLBERG), Ch. (Sulcicollis J. SAHLBERG) (=Minckia STRAND), Ch. (Bittotaenia MOTSCHULSKY) (=Gemellata J. SAHLBERG, partim), Ch. (Hypericia BEDEL) (=Gemellata J. SAHLBERG, partim), Ch. (Ovosoma MOTSCHULSKY) (=Gemellata J. SAHLBERG, partim, =Byrrhiformis J. SAHLBERG, partim), Ch. (Colaphoptera MOTSCHULSKY) (=Byrrhiformis J. SAHLBERG, partim), Ch. aeruginosa poricollis MOTSCHULSKY (=lobicollis FAIRMAIRE), Ch. apsilaena DACCORDI (=rosti kubanensis L.MEDVEDEV et OKHRIMENKO), Ch. fastuosa biroi CSIKI (=fastuosa jodasi BECHYNÉ, 1954), Ch. differens FRANZ (=trapezicollis BECHYNÉ), Ch. difficilis ussuriensis JACOBSON (=pubitarsis BECHYNÉ), Ch. difficilis yezoensis MATSUMURA (=exgeminata BECHYNÉ, =nikinoja BECHYNÉ), Ch. marginata marginata LINNAEUS (=finitima BROWN), Ch. pedestris GEBLER (=pterosticha FISCHER DE WALDHEIM), Ch. reitteri saxonica DACCORDI (=diluta KRYNICKI). Ch. elbursica LOPATIN is treated as a subspecies of Ch. tesari ROUBAL, Ch. unicolor alaiensis LOPATIN - as Ch. dieckmanni alaiensis, and Ch. poretzkyi JACOBSON as a subspecies of Ch. subcostata GEBLER. Ch. peninsularis BECHYNÉ is a distinct species, but a subspecies of Ch. aeruginosa, Ch. brahma TAKIZAWA is a good species, not a synonym of Ch. lia JACOBSON (= freyi BECHYNÉ), and Ch. dzhungarica JACOBSON is a good species, not a synonym of Ch.

  • Ecological Interactions Between Two Species of Leaf Beetle, a Rust Fungus, and Their Host Plant
    Ecological interactions between two species of leaf beetle, a rust fungus, and their host plant Gregory Röder Thesis presented the 3rd April 2007 in presence of Prof. Martine Rahier, University of Neuchâtel (CH) Supervisor Dr. Brigitte Mauch-Mani, University of Neuchâtel (CH) Examiner Prof. Heinz Müller-Schärer, University of Fribourg (CH) Examiner Dr. Paul Hatcher, University of Reading (UK) Examiner Faculty of science Laboratory of evolutionary entomology Gregory Röder Résumé mars 2007 RESUME Les champignons parasites et les insectes herbivores sont connus pour leur influence négative sur les populations de plantes, affectant leur reproduction, leur croissance, leur survie, et interférant dans leurs relations avec d’autres espèces. En fournissant un logement, une protection et une source de nourriture pour de nombreux organismes, les végétaux représentent un élément essentiel des écosystèmes terrestres dans lesquels ils permettent la rencontre d’organismes aussi différents que des champignons pathogènes et des insectes phytophages. Les relations triangulaires qui naissent de cette proximité peuvent être directes ou indirectes lorsque la plante hôte joue le rôle de médiateur. Les insectes peuvent se nourrir du champignon ou de l’une de ses parties, comme le mycélium ou les structures reproductrices, et de ce fait réduire l’ampleur de l’infection ou de la transmission de la maladie. En revanche, d’autres espèces sont susceptibles de véhiculer des spores infectieuses et d’inoculer de nouvelles plantes. Ici, les champignons et les insectes s’influencent directement, positivement ou négativement, mais leurs relations deviennent indirectes lorsqu’ils engendrent des perturbations chez leur hôte. Une attaque fongique est susceptible de produire des changements dans la qualité de la plante hôte, mais aussi d’y activer des résistances qui peuvent également agir sur les insectes, grâce à des mécanismes de défenses croisés.
