No presente ano o XI Congresso Ibérico de Entomologia é acolhido pela cidade do Funchal, ficando a sua organização a cargo do Centro de Estudos da Macaronésia e da Universidade da Madeira. Embora os participantes deste congresso sejam maioritariamente portugueses e espanhóis, foi nossa intenção divulgá-lo internacionalmente por forma a que outros entomólogos interessados na fauna ibérica e macaronésica pudessem também assistir. A participação de investigadores oriundos de países como Chile, Argélia, Irão, Latvia, etc. vem demonstrar que existe interesse para além dos limites ibéricos. A organização de um congresso representa um desafio importante para as instituições responsáveis pela sua organização, requerendo um grande esforço para levar a cabo um acontecimento deste tipo. Vários Sectores e Departamentos da Universidade colaboraram para que este evento fosse exequível. Um agradecimento especial ao Dr. Carlos Rebolo e aos funcionários do Sector de Comunicação e Informática pelo grande contributo e disponibilidade na elaboração do software utilizado. Queremos agradecer também o apoio das várias entidades patrocinadoras do congresso, sem as quais a sua realização não teria sido possível. Pelo seu importante envolvimento, agradecemos em particular à Secretaria Regional do Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais, Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, Secretaria Regional dos Assuntos Sociais, Banif, Câmara Municipal do Funchal, Jornal da Madeira e Ricmade. Apresentamos aqui o programa de actividades e os resumos das comunicações do congresso, assim como um CD com as cópias das comunicações em painel. Agradecemos a todos os entomólogos e alunos que com a sua presença tornam possível este evento e esperamos corresponder às suas expectativas.

    Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 45(2), pp. 377-385, 2013 Environmental Factors Affecting Longevity, Adaptability and Diapause Termination of Exochomus quadripustulatus L. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): A Predator of Lepidosaphes ulmi L. (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) on Apple Khawaja Farooq-Ahmad COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Abbottabad, Pakistan Abstract.- Adults Exochomus quadripustulatus L. were utilized to determine the effect of various environmental factors (mainly temperature) on the longevity, adaptability (hysteresis) and diapause termination either under controlled laboratory conditions or field insectary conditions. Newly eclosed male and female adults E. quadripustulatus from previously field collected pupae were studied for the lifespan of adults under different constant temperatures (15° and 20°C) and naturally fluctuating (ambient) temperatures using starved (no food), liquid diets (water, and 10% honey solution) and natural prey (mussel scale Lepidosaphes ulmi L.) on apple. Access to distilled water compared to starvation did not increase the longevity of adult but significantly prolonged the life span when honey solution was provided. Longevity in constant conditions and ambient depended on both temperature and food. Coccinellid E. quadripustulatus survived longer time (≥10 months) under field conditions on natural prey L. ulmi than under constant temperature (≤4 months). Prey L. ulmi was the best food for survival than 10% honey solution. The degree of adaptability (hysteresis) of adult E. quadripustulatus at alternating temperature regimes (ascending and descending) showed significant differences in feeding at decreasing temperature than increasing ones. The results indicate that, in natural conditions, the adult beetles may be well adapted if they are introduced to different climatic regions where it has not yet been tested.

  • Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): Influence of Subelytral Ultrastructure
    Experimental & Applied Acarology, 23 (1999) 97–118 Review Phoresy by Hemisarcoptes (Acari: Hemisarcoptidae) on Chilocorus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): influence of subelytral ultrastructure M.A. Houck* Department of Biological Sciences, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409–3131, USA (Received 9 January 1997; accepted 17 April 1998) ABSTRACT The non-phoretic stages of mites of the genus Hemisarcoptes are predators of the family Diaspididae. The heteromorphic deutonymph (hypopus) maintains a stenoxenic relationship with beetles of the genus Chilocorus. The mites attach to the subelytral surface of the beetle elytron during transport. There is variation in mite density among species of Chilocorus. Both Hemisarcoptes and Chilocorus have been applied to biological control programmes around the world. The objective of this study was to determine whether subelytral ultrastructure (spine density) plays a role in the evolution of symbiosis between the mite and the beetle. The subelytral surfaces of 19 species of Chilocorus and 16 species of Exochomus were examined. Spine density was determined for five subelytral zones: the anterior pronotal margin, medial central region, caudoventral tip, lateral distal margin and epipleural region. Spine density on the subelytral surface of Chilocorus and Exochomus was inversely correlated with the size of the elytron for all zones except the caudoventral tip. This suggests that an increase in body size resulted in a redistribution of spines and not an addition of spines. The pattern of spine density in Exochomus and Chilocorus follows a single size–density trajectory. The pattern of subelytral ultrastructure is not strictly consistent with either beetle phylogeny or beetle allometry. The absence of spines is not correlated with either beetle genus or size and species of either Chilocorus or Exochomus may be devoid of spines in any zone, irrespective of body size.

  • History of the Biodiversity of Ladybirds (Coccinellidae) at the Black Sea Coast of the Russian Caucasus in the Last 120 Years—
    insects Article History of the Biodiversity of Ladybirds (Coccinellidae) at the Black Sea Coast of the Russian Caucasus in the Last 120 Years—Does the Landscape Transformation and Establishment of Harmonia axyridis Have an Impact? Andrzej O. Bie ´nkowskiand Marina J. Orlova-Bienkowskaja * A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences, 119071 Moscow, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 October 2020; Accepted: 21 November 2020; Published: 23 November 2020 Simple Summary: Studies of the history of regional insect fauna are important for understanding the changes in ecosystems and are therefore crucial for conservation decisions. The harlequin ladybird is a global invader that causes the decline of native ladybirds in some countries. Therefore, it is advisable to monitor the ladybird fauna in regions recently occupied by this species. We analyzed the dynamics of the fauna at the main sea resort of Russia over a period of 120 years to determine the following: (1) how the ladybird biodiversity changed during the intensive landscape transformation; (2) what alien species introduced for pest control have occurred to date; and (3) what the impact is of the harlequin ladybird on the ladybird fauna. We examined specimens collected by us and 54 other collectors including specimens from old museum collections and reconstructed the history of the biodiversity like a picture from puzzle pieces. Surprisingly, landscape transformation did not cause a decrease but rather an increase in ladybird biodiversity; most of the species recorded before 1930 have occurred to date, and 23 other species have spread to the region.

  • Bee-Flower Interactions and Pollination Potential
    Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. (Anim. Sci.), Vol. 93, No.4, June 1984, pp. 373-390. © Printed in India. Bee-flower interactions and pollination potential C SUBBA REDDI and EUB REDDI Department of Environmental Sciences, Andhra University, Waltair 530003, India Abstract. This article presents the recent trends in describing the bee-blossom relationships, in interpreting the beesforaging behaviour on the basis of optimal foraging theory and the nature of floral resource, the role of pollinator behaviour such as trap-lining, opportunism, territorial aggression, group foraging in determining the geneticmake-up of the bee pollinated plants, and considering the pollination from the ecosystem point ofview. The idea that honey bees and other social bees are adequate enough to pollinate the crops is considered as premature, and detailed studies to explore the pollination potential of wild bees together with their conservation and management are suggested. Keywords. Bee-blossom interaction; foraging behaviour, pollination potential. 1. Introduction A very wide spectrum of insects visit the flowers for nectar and/or pollen, and are of much value in effecting pollination. Bees are among such insects. The bees require large food supplies for their brood, even hundred times of their own requirement, and to secure this food they make repeated. visits to the flowers. Thirty thousand bee species are estimated to occur in the world (parker and Torchio 1980).The majority are solitary bees distributed mostly among the families Colletidae, Andrenidae, Halictidae, Megachilidae, Anthophoridae and Xylocopidae. The family Apidae comprises mostly the social bees ofthe genera Apis, Bombus,Trigona and Melipona. Only about 1%ofthe world bee species is reported from India (Kapil and Jain 1980).

A B S T R A C T Laboratory studies were conducted to assess the functional and numerical responses of adult females of Exochomus flavipes, as a predator of Phenacoccus manihoti the cassava mealybug (CMB). Day old eggs of CMB at densities of 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 were fed to young adult females of E. flavipes. Each density was replicated 6 times. Number of eggs consumed (Functional response) and number of eggs laid (Numerical response) daily were recorded. Generally, eggs consumption per day increased significantly with increase in prey density and a significant correlation (P<0.05) between mean number of CMB eggs consumed per predator and prey density (r=0.956) was observed. No significant (P>0.05) difference was observed in prey consumption between prey densities of 500 and 700. There was increased prey consumption from 44% at prey density 200 to 67% at prey density 400 per day, while percentage prey consumption decreased from 65.4% at prey density 500 to 48% at prey density of 700.

The collection was started by Dr. L.H. Hale during 1970, and was resurrected and expanded from 1979 due to the foresight and energy of Dr “Jack” Tenorio, who also contributed a great number of specimens. Originally the collection was intended as an insect collection to assist identification of insects affecting agriculture, horticulture and silviculture in the Northern Marianas, and to contribute to the ability of pupils and students to learn more about the subject. During 2001 the collection was expanded to include all terrestrial and freshwater invertebrates, and a collection management protocol was established (see Appendices 1 and 2). The collection was originally owned by the CNMI Department of Land and Natural Resources , and was on loan to the NMC Entomology Unit for curation. During 2001 it was transferred to the NMC by agreement with Dr. “Jack” Tenorio, who emphasized the need to maintain separate teaChing material as well as identified specimens in the main collection.
