Halyomorpha halys has not established itself in Australia, but it has been intercepted several times at the border, therefore future incursions and establishment are likely. There are few control options for this species and biological control may be a useful management method in Australia. This study summarizes the literature on natural enemies of H. halys in its native and invaded ranges and prioritizes potential biological control agents that could be suitable for use in Australia. The results show two egg parasitoid species as the Citation: Caron, V.; Yonow, T.; Paull, best candidates: Trissolcus japonicus (Ashmead) and Trissolcus mitsukurii (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: C.; Talamas, E.J.; Avila, G.A.; Hoelmer, Scelionidae). -

INTRODUCTION PREDICTING HOST RANGES OF PARASITOIDS AND PREDACIOUS INSECTS—WHAT ARE THE ISSUES? R. G. Van Driesche Department of Plant, Soil and Insect Science: Division of Entomology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003 USA [email protected] GOALS FOR HOST RANGE TESTING Estimating the likely nontarget impacts of agents released to suppress invasive plants has been legally required, to one degree or another, for many decades. Similar predictions were not formally required for introductions of parasitoids or predators of pest arthropods. That is now beginning to change. This book has as its goal an exploration of how such estimates can best be made. This requires overcoming a series of problems, some logistical, some technical, some tied to an unclear theoretical framework for the activity. In this book, the editors and authors have tried to address many of these needs, in some chapters as essays on important tasks that need to be achieved, in other chapters as case history explorations of how the tasks were done in particular cases. This book will not be the final answer, but we hope it might propel the search for such an answer along. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS Whether or not predicting the host ranges of parasitoids and predators is legally required varies among countries. -

Jewel Bugs of Australia (Insecta, Heteroptera, Scutelleridae)1
© Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Jewel Bugs of Australia (Insecta, Heteroptera, Scutelleridae)1 G. CASSIS & L. VANAGS Abstract: The Australian genera of the Scutelleridae are redescribed, with a species exemplar of the ma- le genitalia of each genus illustrated. Scanning electron micrographs are also provided for key non-ge- nitalic characters. The Australian jewel bug fauna comprises 13 genera and 25 species. Heissiphara is described as a new genus, for a single species, H. minuta nov.sp., from Western Australia. Calliscyta is restored as a valid genus, and removed from synonymy with Choerocoris. All the Australian species of Scutelleridae are described, and an identification key is given. Two new species of Choerocoris are des- cribed from eastern Australia: C. grossi nov.sp. and C. lattini nov.sp. Lampromicra aerea (DISTANT) is res- tored as a valid species, and removed from synonymy with L. senator (FABRICIUS). Calliphara nobilis (LIN- NAEUS) is recorded from Australia for the first time. Calliphara billardierii (FABRICIUS) and C. praslinia praslinia BREDDIN are removed from the Australian biota. The identity of Sphaerocoris subnotatus WAL- KER is unknown and is incertae sedis. A description is also given for the Neotropical species, Agonoso- ma trilineatum (FABRICIUS); a biological control agent recently introduced into Australia to control the pasture weed Bellyache Bush (Jatropha gossypifolia, Euphorbiaceae). Coleotichus borealis DISTANT and C. (Epicoleotichus) schultzei TAUEBER are synonymised with C. excellens (WALKER). Callidea erythrina WAL- KER is synonymized with Lampromicra senator. Lectotype designations are given for the following taxa: Coleotichus testaceus WALKER, Coleotichus excellens, Sphaerocoris circuliferus (WALKER), Callidea aureocinc- ta WALKER, Callidea collaris WALKER and Callidea curtula WALKER. -

Subfamily Asopinae D. A. Gapon and F. V. Konstantinov St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg, 199034 Russia Received December 24, 2003 Abstract—This communication is the third one in a series of papers treated the morphological review of the aedeagi of Pentatomidae and its possible taxonomic significance. Fully inflated internal structures of the aedeagus of 18 species of Asopinae were studied. The examination of the Asopinae confirmed the monophyly of this taxon and revealed three distinct types of the aedeagal structure within the subfamily. These types differ in the structure of the theca, median penal plates, and ventral, ventrolateral, and apical conjuctival lobes. These characters can be used in phylogenetic analysis as well as in a tribal classification of asopines.

Many authors [Leston, 1953, 1954 (cited from cation of the group. The structure of the aedeagus of Gapud, 1981); McDonald, 1966; Gross, 1975] point to the family Pentatomidae and subfamilies Discocepha- the families Podopinae and Pentatominae as closely linae and Phyllocephalinae was described in the first related to the subfamily Asopinae. -
Evaluating the Host Range of Agents for Biological Control of Arthropods: Rationale, Methodology and Interpretation
Proceedings: Host Specificity Testing of Exotic Arthropod Biological Control Agents: The Biological Basis for Improvement in Safety Evaluating the Host Range of Agents for Biological Control of Arthropods: Rationale, Methodology and Interpretation D.P.A. Sands1 and R.G. Van Driesche2 1CSIRO Entomology, Private Bag No. 3, Indooroopilly Queensland 4068, Australia 2Department of Entomology, University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA, USA 01003 Abstract Before releasing exotic natural enemies for biological control of weeds, host range tests are almost universally required by authorities, to ensure that agents are unlikely to have detrimental impacts on non-target plants. However, for biological control of arthropod pests, tests to determine the potential host range of exotic agents have not been so widely practiced, leading to concerns that agents once established may have undesired impacts on beneficial organisms and native fauna. The rationale for host range tests is similar for weeds and arthropod projects and the centrifugal method for selecting non-target taxa related to a target is applicable to both, but the taxonomic relationships for arthropods are often not as well known as for plants. The number and range of non-target arthropods to be tested with an exotic agent must be selected carefully, since it is impractical to maintain in culture an extensive range of taxa. Non- target beneficial or threatened arthropod taxa may be priorities for testing as potential hosts but their life histories are sometimes unknown or appropriate stages may be difficult to obtain or culture. Tritrophic agent/ host/plant interactions are not uncom- mon and difficult to evaluate, and predators need special evaluation when compared with parasitoids. -
Soybean Section 7 Insect Control
NORTHERN MARCH 2016 SOYBEAN SECTION 7 INSECT CONTROL NAME AND DESCRIPTION OF PEST (IDENTIFICATION) | MODERATE, LESS FREQUENT AND MINOR PESTS | THRESHOLDS FOR CONTROL | MANAGEMENT OF INSECT PEST | BENEFICIAL INSECTS | KEY PARASITOIDS AND PREDATORS Table of Contents SECTION 7 SOYBEANS - Insect control Feedback March 2016 A SECTION 7 Insect control 1 2 3 Soybeans can be attacked by pests at any stage from seedlings to harvest, but are most attractive to insect pests from flowering onwards. Soybeans are more tolerant of insect damage than most other grain legumes and noticeable damage (particularly 4 leaf damage) does not necessarily result in yield loss. The basic Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy for soybeans is to avoid non-selective pesticides for as long as possible to foster a build-up of predators and parasites (i.e. to ‘go soft early’). This buffers the crop against pest attack during later crop stages, and greatly reduces the 5 risk of subsequent helicoverpa, silverleaf whitefly and mite attack. However many pests have a major impact on yield and quality, and intervention with pesticides is frequently unavoidable. 6 Major pests in soybeans are helicoverpa (heliothis), podsucking bugs, and potentially silverleaf whitefly. Other lesser and/or infrequent, but damaging pests, include loopers, grass blue butterfly, cluster caterpillar, soybean moth, soybean aphid, mirids, monolepta beetle and crickets. Note that beanfly and bean podborer, both major pests in other 7 summer pulses, are not a threat to soybeans. Soybeans are more attractive to a range of foliage-feeding pests (e.g. numerous loopers, grass blue butterfly, and leaf miners) than other summer pulses. -
