I came across with Chuck that he will bring the necessary news on his homepage. In the meantime I have been asked for the next issue of this newsletter several times. On the other hand some of us think that BUPRESTIS is superfluous. But not everybody of us has access to the online edition of the Zoological Record. And beside the information about new literature and taxons and taxonomical changes we have also the possibility to keep in touch with each other. Where else is the platform to ask the colleagues for needed material (literature, species) or information? My contribution will be to gather all that news and questions and serve you with a compilation in time. I take off my hat to Chuck who has been a friend for long years. I am glad to say that I could discuss and laugh and travel with him. It was a fruitful time. Many thanks to all of you, who have sent me files or copies of their work. Your contribution makes BUPRESTIS a newsletter that is worthwhile to read. If you want that we continue this newsletter, please send me your news up to 30 June 2014. All my very best wishes to you and your families for Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Hans A. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AND INTERESTS B. SPECIES WANTED FOR RESEARCH OR EXCHANGE C.

  • The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution
    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

Received: 9 October 2020; Accepted: 28 October 2020; Published: 30 October 2020 Simple Summary: Several wood-associated insects are inadvertently introduced every year within wood-packaging materials used in international trade. These insects can cause impressive economic and ecological damage in the invaded environment. Thus, several countries use traps baited with pheromones and plant volatiles at ports of entry and surrounding natural areas to intercept incoming exotic species soon after their arrival and thereby reduce the likelihood of their establishment. In this study, we investigated the performance of eight trap colors in attracting jewel beetles and bark and ambrosia beetles to test if the trap colors currently used in survey programs worldwide are the most efficient for trapping these potential forest pests. In addition, we tested whether trap colors can be exploited to minimize inadvertent removal of their natural enemies.

  • GALLARDO, P.: Relationship Between Insect Damage and Chlorophyll Content in Mediterranean Oak Species
    Cárdenas – Gallardo: Relationship between insect damage and chlorophyll content in Mediterranean oak species - 477 - RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INSECT DAMAGE AND CHLOROPHYLL CONTENT IN MEDITERRANEAN OAK SPECIES CÁRDENAS, A. M.* ‒ GALLARDO, P. Dpto. de Zoología, Edificio Darwin, Campus Rabanales, E-14071, University of Córdoba, Córdoba, Spain (tel: +34 957 218604) *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] (Received 10th Jun 2016; accepted 23rd Jul 2016) Abstract. Considering that the damage caused by phytophagous insects can alter the chlorophyll content of plants, we established the hypothesis that variations in chlorophyll concentration could be applied to assess stress caused by these kind of harmful agents. In this paper, relationship between insect damage and the chlorophyll content of sclerophyllous oak species (Quercus suber and Q. ilex) is investigated. The survey was carried out in Hornachuelos Natural Park (southern Iberian Peninsula). For each plant species, a comparative study of chlorophyll concentration on healthy leaves was performed among a control group of harmless trees and other groups affected by one of the following damaging insects: woodborers, chewing and gall-formers. Results relative to Q. ilex indicated that only damage by gall-formers had a significant effect on average chlorophyll content of healthy leaves. As regard Q. suber, differences in chlorophyll content were only significant when injuries were caused by the woodborer Coraebus florentinus. In conclusion, insect damage could influence the chlorophyll content of the holm and cork oaks, but the effect varies depending on the plant species and the type of harmful agent. Keywords: environmental assessment, oak forests, Quercus ilex, Quercus suber, photosynthesis Introduction Several herbivorous insects are associated with Quercus species (Romanyk and Cadahía, 1992) and, depending on the way of affecting the plant, can be classified as woodborers, carpophagous and folivorous (chewing insects and galls-formers).

  • New Records of Buprestidae (Coleoptera) from Israel with Description of a New Species
    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY, Vol. 34, 2004, pp. 109-152 New records of Buprestidae (Coleoptera) from Israel with description of a new species MARK VOLKOVITSH Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, 199034 St. Petersburg, Russia ABSTRACT In two expeditions to Israel (in 1994 and 1996), 123 species of Buprestidae (Coleoptera), including one with two subspecies, were collected. Data col- lected, general distribution, and known larval host plants are given for each species. Fifteen Buprestidae species, and new hosts for four species, are recorded from Israel for the first time, including three new host associations for species that already had other known hosts. Xantheremia (Xantheremia) freidbergi is described as a new species. Acmaeodera (Palaeotethya) macchabaea Abeille de Perrin is resurrected from synonymy with A. rubro- maculata sensu Volkovitsh 1986, in part, and two new synonyms, A. pharsaea Obenbberger and A. houskai Obenberger, are established for this species. Acmaeoderella sefrensis Pic is a new status for Acmaeodera rufo- marginata var. sefrensis Pic, and two new synonyms are established for it: A. rufomarginata var. stramineipennis Chobaut and A. virgulata var. lucasi Théry. Acmaeodera miribella Obenberger is a new subspecies of Acmaeo- derella elegans (Harold) n. comb., and Acmaeodera eucera Obenberger is its synonym. Acmaeoderella adspersula arabica Cobos is elevated to species status. Lectotypes are designated for A. rufomarginata var. sefrensis, A. rufomarginata var. stramineipennis, and A. virgulata var. lucasi. INTRODUCTION The study of buprestid fauna of Israel has been relatively poor. Bodenheimer (1937) listed 84 species. There are only a few publications on Israeli buprestids in the 20th century that either summarize data collected (Obenberger, 1946; Niehuis, 1996) or are devoted to buprestid fauna of certain localities (Chikatunov et al., 1999; Volkovitsh et al., 2000).

In parts of China (e.g. Liaoning province), A. fleischeri has become a destructive pest causing tree mortality in poplar plantations, in particular on Populus nigra var. italica (Lombardy poplar). Considering the importance of poplar in the EPPO region, and the fact that its wood is commonly used to make pallets, the NPPO of the United Kingdom suggested the addition of A. fleischeri to the EPPO Alert List. Where: A. fleischeri originates from East Asia. EPPO region: Kazakhstan, Russia (Eastern Siberia, Far East). Asia: China (Beijing, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Tianjin), Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu), Kazakhstan, Korea (Dem. People's Republic of), Korea (Republic of), Mongolia, Russia (Eastern Siberia, Far East). On which plants: Populus species, including Populus davidiana (Korean aspen), P. laurifolia (laurel-leaf poplar), Populus nigra var. italica (Lombardy poplar) and P. sieboldi (Japanese aspen). In the literature, Salix spp. (willows) are recorded as hosts but no data on damage could be found in the literature. Records of A. fleischeri on Quercus spp. are considered erroneous. In China, the two most common poplar species used in plantations are P. davidiana (native to China) and P. nigra var.

Abstract. 60 species of jewel-beetles (Coleoptera: and some identifications are obviously wrong. So, faunistic Buprestidae) belonging to three subfamilies (Julodinae, composition of the fauna of Kurdistan has to be clarified. In Polycestinae and Chrysochroinae) were collected in this paper the results of study of material collected by one Kurdistan Province of Iran during 2009–2011. Of these of the authors (H. Ghobari) in 2009–2011 in the province 7 species from 6 genera are new for Iranian fauna and are presented; in general 60 species were collected, 7 of 41 species from 9 genera are new for Kurdistan them are new for Iranian fauna and 41 – for the fauna of Province.
