The grub incidence was reported from 28-39th SMW. Simultaneously, random samples of mined leaves were collected from the surveyed plots, brought to the laboratory, examined for field parasitism symptoms, maintained and reared for further investigations, re- covered the association of hispa grubs or pupae with a gregarious parasitoid, which was identified as Chrysonotomyia sp. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Entedoninae). Also, the maximum parasitization rates for this vary species of parasitoid were recorded during 34-39th SMW, with the mean parasitization of 46.0 and 39.3 percent during kharif 2015 and 2016, respectively. The natural parasitization of grubs or pupae of rice hispa by Chrysonotomyia sp. was reported for the first time from the state and it thus could be exploited as an important biological tool under the sustainable approach for its integrated management.

One important foundation for the conservation of biodiversity on islands is an inventory of endemic species. In the absence of a comprehensive inventory, conservation effort often defaults to a focus on the better-known and more conspicuous species (typically mammals and birds). Although this component of island biota often needs such conservation attention, such focus may mean that less conspicuous endemic species (especially invertebrates) are neglected and suffer high rates of loss. In this paper, we review the available literature and online resources to compile a list of endemic species that is as comprehensive as possible for the 137 km2 oceanic Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the north-eastern Indian Ocean.

  • Management of Insect Pests by Microorganisms
    Proc Indian Natn Sci Acad 80 No. 2 June 2014 Spl. Sec. pp. 455-471 Printed in India. Review Article Management of Insect Pests by Microorganisms B RAMANUJAM*, R RANGESHWARAN, G SIVAKMAR, M MOHAN and M S YANDIGERI National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Insects, P.B. No. 2491, HA Farm Post, Bellary Road, Bangalore 560024, Karnataka, India (Received on 09 April 2013; Revised on 20 August 2013; Accepted on 23 September 2013) Insects, like other organisms, are susceptible to a variety of diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans, and these pathogens are exploited for biological control of insect pests through introductory or inundative applications. Microbial pathogens of insects are intensively investigated to develop environmental friendly pest management strategies in agriculture and forestry. In this paper, the scope for utilization of insect pathogens in pest management in the world and India is reviewed. The most successfully utilized insect pathogen is the bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) which is used extensively for management of certain lepidopteran pests. In India, mostly imported products of Bt kurstaki have been used, which are expensive and there is an urgent need to develop aggressive indigenous Bt strains against various pests. Baculoviruses comprising nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) and granulosis virus (GV) have been successfully used as insect pathogens because of their high virulence and specificity. NPV and GV formulations are used for lepidopteran pests like Helicoverpa armigera (HaNPV) and Spodoptera litura (SlNPV) in India, besides Anticarsia gemmatalis NPV in Brazil, Lymanttria disper NPV, Orgyia pseudotsugata NPV in USA and GV of Pieris rapae in China. Lack of easy mass multiplication methods for the commercial production of baculoviruses calls for R&D to develop production in insect tissue cultures.

    Progressive Agriculture 28 (2): 64-72, 2017 ISSN: 1017 - 8139 Efficacy of different botanical and chemical insecticides against rice hispa (Dicladispa armigera) P Roy, MM Uddin*, KS Islam, KR Das Department of Entomology, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh 2202, Bangladesh Abstract An experiment was carried out in the Entomology Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh to determine the efficacy of six botanicals and four chemical insecticides for controlling rice hispa, Dicladispa armigera during the period of July to December 2013. In conducting the experiment BR11 rice variety was selected where ten treatments namely six botanicals such as Neem oil, Mahogany oil, Mixture of Neem and Mahogany oil, Bishkatali leaf extract, Pitraj leaf extract and Mixture of Bishkatali and Pitraj leaf extract and four chemical insecticides Sevin85SP, Advantage20EC, Cup50EC, Kinalux 25EC were laid out in the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Overall leaf infestation by rice hispa and infestation by adults and grubs separately were recorded at different time intervals. In addition to these, overall effect of pest infestation on the grain yield of rice was also examined. Among the six botanicals, Neem oil was most effective in controlling rice hispa, as overall leaf infestation was 21.20% and the infestation by adults and grubs were 14.43% and12.57%. On the other hand, among chemical insecticides, maximum efficacy was found under the treatment of Sevin 85SP where minimum leaf infestation was 9.22%, infestation by adults and grubs were 5.88% and 5.00% respectively. In case of yield, Sevin 85SP (4.62 ton/ha) showed the best efficacy in comparison to other treatments.

The keys treat 31 genera and 195 species. Relevant synony- mies are presented for genera and species, as well as general and local dis- tributions of species. Fourty-five species are described as new and a number of species are newly recorded from the area or from individual countries. Eighty-seven species and 7 genera are relegated to synonymy. This paper is the third in a series” attempting to cover the chrysomelid beetles from the Thai-Indochina area. This series represents a sequel to “Chrysomelidae (Coleopt.) of China and Korea” (Gressitt & Kimoto, 1961 & 1963), and should be used in conjunction with that monograph. This installment treats the subfamily Eumolpinae covering 41 genera, 207 species, including 45 new species and 87 new synonymies. Seven genera are synonymized and there are many new combinations. Keys are presented to genera and species, including a few occurring just outside the area of treatment.

Rice hispa infestation was recorded on paddy crop in low lying areas between 35-68% with temperature ranges 31.55-26.65 oC, relative humidity 92.70% and rainfall 26.60 mm. It is an important insect pest of rice crop, adult’s of this pest scrape of the parenchymatous tissues from the upper surface of leaf. Grubs residing in leaf in the form of mines which are clearly identified. This pest causes extensive damage to vegetative stage of plant resulting upto 65% loss in yield in affected areas. Grubs eat away chlorophyll or green matter of rice leaves resulted in withering and drying up of leaves. The characteristic symptoms of its damage are presence of parallel white streaks on the surface of infested leaves towards tips. Keywords: Rice hispa; incidence; paddy crop; Sialkot.

  • Systematic Catalog of Japanese Chrysomelidae12
    Pacific Insects 3 (1) : 117-202 April 20, 1961 SYSTEMATIC CATALOG OF JAPANESE CHRYSOMELIDAE12 (Coleoptera) By Michio Chujo3 and Shinsaku Kimoto4 INTRODUCTION The Chrysomelidae (leaf beetles) is one of the largest groups of Coleoptera. About 30,000 species of this family have been described from the world. All of them are phy­ tophagous and some of them are serious injurious insects. Taxonomic studies of this group are important in connection with agricultural and forest entomology. In spite of the need, a complete catalog of Japanese Chrysomelidae has not yet been published. Since 1956, we have worked on a systematic catalog of Japanese Chrysomelidae. Kimoto spent from September to November 1959 working on type specimens of Far Eastern Chrysomelidae in continental United States and Europe as Bishop Museum Fellow in Ento­ mology, after his one and a half years stay in Hawaii, working on Chinese Chrysomelidae. A revisional paper on type specimens in United States and European Museums, is planned by Kimoto. The scope of this paper is Japan, the Ryukyu Is., and small neighboring islands. In regard to applied entomology, food plants are also listed. Many of the new combinations or status or synonymies are based on Kimoto's studies of type specimens. After Hornstedt, 1788, studies on Japanese Chrysomelidae have been made by various workers. In the latter half of the 19th century, studies on Japanese fauna were made by Motschulsky, Harold, Kraatz, Baly, Jacoby, Boheman, Weise and other workers, especially Baly and Jacoby. Those works were chiefly descriptions of new genera and species. Most of the Japanese species were described during this period.
