Packauskas1 Abstract Forty eight species of Pentatomidae are listed as occurring in the state of Kansas, nine of these are new state records. A key to all species known from the state of Kansas is given, along with some notes on new state records. ____________________ The family Pentatomidae, comprised of mainly phytophagous and a few predaceous species, is one of the largest families of Heteroptera. Some of the phytophagous species have a wide host range and this ability may make them the most economically important family among the Heteroptera (Panizzi et al. 2000). As a group, they have been found feeding on cotton, nuts, fruits, veg- etables, legumes, and grain crops (McPherson 1982, McPherson and McPherson 2000, Panizzi et al 2000). -

E-mail: [email protected] http://orcid.org/0000-0002-2941-1482 Abstract Background: Rickettsia are intracellular bacteria best known as the causative agents of human and animal diseases. Although these medically important Rickettsia are often transmitted via haematophagous arthropods, other Rickettsia, such as those in the Torix group, appear to reside exclusively in invertebrates and protists with no secondary vertebrate host. Importantly, little is known about the diversity or host range of Torix group Rickettsia. -

Several heteropterans were found on the larval nests of E. aurinia for dietary reasons: Deraeoco ris schach (Fabricius, 1781) that is a predator of Marsh Fritillary larvae, Palomena prasina (Linnaeus, 1761) and Spilostethus saxati lis (Scopoli, 1763) that feed on the droppings of larvae; Graphosoma lineatum italicum (Müller, 1766) that visits the larval web during winter diapause.

It is considered as one of the largest family within suborder Heteroptera. In the present study, partial mitochondrial COI gene fragment of approximately 600bp from seven species of family Pentatomidae collected from different localities of Northern India has been analysed. The data divulged an A+T content of 65.8% and an R value of 1.39. The COI sequences were added directly to Genbank NCBI. The database analysis shows mean K2P divergence of 0.7% at intraspecific level and 13.5% at interspecific level, indicating a hierarchal increase in K2P mean divergence across different taxonomic levels. Keywords: pentatomidae, mitochondrial gene, COI Introduction Punjabi University, Patiala. DNA was extracted from legs of Family Pentatomidae, chosen for the present study, is one of the specimens following the method of Kambhampati and the largest families within suborder Hetroptera (Rider 2006- Rai (1991) [5] with minor modifications.

Discrimination Between Eggs from Stink Bugs Species in Europe Using MALDI-TOF MS

Reeve 1,* and Tim Haye 2 1 CABI, Bakeham Lane, Egham, Surrey TW20 9TY, UK 2 CABI, Rue des Grillons 1, CH-2800 Delémont, Switzerland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Recent globalization of trade and travel has led to the introduction of exotic insects into Europe, including the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys)—a highly polyphagous pest with more than 200 host plants, including many agricultural crops. Unfortunately, farmers and crop-protection advisers finding egg masses of stink bugs during crop scouting frequently struggle to identify correctly the species based on their egg masses, and easily confuse eggs of the invasive H. halys with those of other (native) species. To this end, we have investigated using matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for rapid, fieldwork-compatible, and low-reagent-cost discrimination between the eggs of native and exotic stink bugs. Abstract: In the current paper, we used a method based on stink bug egg-protein immobilization on filter paper by drying, followed by post-(storage and shipping) extraction in acidified acetonitrile containing matrix, to discriminate between nine different species using MALDI-TOF MS. We obtained 87 correct species-identifications in 87 blind tests using this method. With further processing of the unblinded data, the highest average Bruker score for each tested species was that of the cognate Citation: Reeve, M.A.; Haye, T. reference species, and the observed differences in average Bruker scores were generally large and the Discrimination between Eggs from errors small except for Capocoris fuscispinus, Dolycoris baccarum, and Graphosoma italicum, where the Stink Bugs Species in Europe Using average scores were lower and the errors higher relative to the remaining comparisons. -

Binazzi F., Sabbatini Peverieri G., Simoni S., Frosinini R., Fabbricatore T., Roversi P.F. – An effective method for Graphosoma lineatum (L.) long-term rearing. A simple and time-saving technique for an effective and continuous rearing of Graphosoma lineatum (L.) (Heteroptera Pentatomidae), an alternative host for Trissolcus spp. and Ooencyrtus spp. production, was set for entomological research and maintained for a long period. Insects were maintained in containers as rearing units; 100x35x35cm cages hosted adults; 40x30x30cm cages hosted nymphs. Graphosoma lineatum was fed on seeds of Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Anethum graveolens L. and Pimpinella anisum L. Moreover, potted young plants of F. vulgare were also used as additional food source. Water for insects and plants was provided by small automatic irrigation systems. When each colony cage reached the density of 100 adult couples, the number of oviposited batches was followed up for 12 weeks. Batches laid per cage were approximately one hundred per week. Therefore the overall weekly production of six adult cages -

OSAC Crime & Safety Report: Adana
Turkey 2020 OSAC Crime & Safety Report: Adana This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Consulate in Adana. OSAC encourages travelers to use this report to gain baseline knowledge of security conditions in southeastern Turkey. For more in-depth information, review OSAC’s Turkey country page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Turkey at Level 2, indicating travelers should exercise increased caution due to terrorism and arbitrary detentions. Do not travel to areas near the Syrian and Iraqi borders due to terrorism. Reconsider travel to Batman, Bingol, Bitlis, Diyarbakir, Gaziantep, Hakkari, Hatay, Kilis, Mardin, Sanliurfa, Siirt, Sirnak, Tunceli, and Van Provinces, all of which are in the Adana Consular District. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. Overall Crime and Safety Situation Crime Threats The U.S. Department of State has assessed Adana as being a LOW-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. Mugging, vandalism, other petty crimes as well as narcotics-related crime occur. Crimes of opportunity (e.g. pickpocketing, purse snatching) may occur more frequently; however, random violent acts of crime are rare. Crime statistics provided by the Turkish National Police (TNP) for Adana province for 2019 include 5,862 thefts, 395 cases of extortion & robbery, 45 homicides, 1,612 vehicle break-ins, and 83 vehicle thefts.
