However, the Forest, Bruchid, Parasitoid.. forests and trees like many other plants, suffer from attack by insect pests and diseases which cause a lot of damage, resulting in poor tree growth, poor timber quality, and in some cases, complete destruction and reduction of forest cover in Indian arid zone also. Thus, trees and forests need to be protected from these agents of destruction. With the ever increasing human and livestock population, the amount of forest per capita is declining particularly in the less industrialized or developing areas of the world. It is estimated that the land under forest in developing countries is about 2100 million hectares, or more than half of the forested land on earth.

  • On the Winter and Spring Aspect of the Macrolepidoptera Fauna of Jordan with Remarks on the Biology of Some Species
    © Münchner Ent. Ges., download www.biologiezentrum.at Mitt. Münch. Ent. Ges. 102 65-93 München, 15.10.2012 ISSN 0340-4943 On the winter and spring aspect of the Macrolepidoptera fauna of Jordan with remarks on the biology of some species (Lepidoptera: Tineoidea, Cossoidea, Bombycoidea, Papilionoidea, Geometroidea, Noctuoidea) Dirk STADIE and Lutz LEHMANN († 1) Abstract The results of two lepidopterological expeditions to Jordan from December 20 to December 30, 2008 (provinces of Irbid, Karak, Tafila und Ma’an) and March 19 to March 25, 2009 (provinces: Zarqa, Tafila, Irbid and Balqa) are presented. A total of 166 species of Macrolepidoptera could be recorded, among them 21 species new for Jordan. Desertobia heloxylonia lawrencei subsp. n. is described. The female genitalia of Odontopera jordanaria (STAUDINGER, 1898) comb. n., are figured for the first time. The larvae of Odontopera jordanaria STAUDINGER, 1898, Minucia wiskotti (PÜNGELER, 1902), Allophyes benedictina (STAUDINGER, 1892), Agrochola pauli (STAUDINGER, 1892), Agrochola scabra (STAUDINGER, 1892), Agrochola staudingeri RONKAY, 1984, Conistra acutula (STAUDINGER, 1892), Polymixis apora (STAUDINGER, 1898) and Polymixis juditha (STAUDINGER, 1898) are described and figured. Introduction Our knowledge of the winter aspect of the macrolepidoptera fauna of the southwestern Palaearctic region is still lower compared to other seasons. It has been shown during expeditions that in countries with subtropical- mediterranean climate an interesting macrolepidoptera fauna with numerous poorly known or even new species could be ascertained, in the eremic as well as in the steppe and mediterranean zone. The focus of this communication is on the Noctuidae family, because Noctuid species dominate the species composition in winter (e.g.

  • Weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) of Taleghan Region (North of Iran) with Reporting of Ten New Records for Iran
    J. Entomol. Res. Soc., 19(1): 01-13, 2017 ISSN:1302-0250 Weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) of Taleghan Region (North of Iran) with Reporting of Ten New Records for Iran Ehsan SANAEI1, 2 Marjan SEIEDY2* 1School of Biological Sciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, AUSTRALIA. 2*(Corresponding author) School of Biology and Center of Excellence in Phylogeny of Living Organisms, College of Science, University of Tehran, IRAN e-mails: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT The faunistic knowledge of Iranian weevils is still relatively low, especially in comparison with the vastness and rich environment of this country. During the years 2014-2015, a faunistic study on superfamily Curculionoidea was done in Taleghan Region. This region is located on the southern slope of the Alborz Mountains and irrigated by several rivers. Taleghan Region is known mainly for its green landscape which is covered mostly by rangelands, grasslands, but also agricultural farms and fruit gardens. Recently, several human activities have shaped into the Taleghan landscapes and then it resulted in a dramatic reduction of vegetation. In our study a total of 51 species of weevils were confirmed for this region and 10 of them (Hemitrichapion pavidum (Germar, 1817), Protapion laevicolle (Kirby, 1811), Pseudoprotapion elegantulum (Germar, 1818), P. astragali astragali (Paykull, 1800), Mecinus labilis (Herbst, 1795), Mogulones asperifoliarum (Gyllenhal, 1813), Tychius astragali Becker, 1862, T. callidus Caldara, 1990, T. tridentinus Penecke, 1922, and T. trivialis Boheman, 1843) have been recorded in Iran for the first time. In addition, a brief discussion is given for several species considered as rare weevils or interesting records for Iranian fauna.

    First Report First Report on Natural Enemies of Lixus pulverulentus on Faba Bean Crops in Tunisia Sonia Boukhris-Bouhachem, Manel Hmem-Bourissa, and Rebha Souissi, Laboratoire de Protection des Végétaux, INRAT, Université de Carthage, Rue HédiKarray, 2049 Ariana, Tunis, Tunisia ________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Boukhris-Bouhachem, S., Hmem-Bourissa, M., and Souissi R. 2016. First report on natural enemies of Lixus pulverulentus on faba bean crops in Tunisia. Tunisian Journal of Plant Protection 11: 245-250. The insect Lixus pulverulentus is known to attack faba bean and to induce many damages on plants. The bioecology studies of L. pulverulentus was conducted at Béja (North-West of Tunisia) and Kairouan (Center of Tunisia). We report here the first identification of a natural enemies of L. pulverulentus (syn. L. algirus), a parasitoid wasp Pteromalus lixiand a predatory fly Zeuxia aberrans at both Béja and Kairouan. Parasitization incited by wasps was of about 0.8-2.6% and that displayed by larvae of flies was around 1.3-4.7%, respectively, which are considered low parasitism rates. Rearing attempts of thiswasp may be useful forbiological control of beetles based on indigenous natural enemies. Keywords: Diptera, faba bean, Hymenoptera, Lixus pulverulentus, parasitization __________________________________________________________________________ Lixus pulverulentus (syn. L. algirus) using synthetic insecticides such as DDT (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) is reported to which has been banned. Targeting of attack faba bean and several Circium, juvenile instars, occurring inside plant Carduus and Malvaceae plants (3, 5, 12). tissues, is more difficult due to their Few researches were undertaken on its cryptic nature (3). According to Weigand biology and its impact on faba bean crops and Bishara (20), seed treatment using (13, 14, 20).
