It seldom plays a major role in the natural control of insects in Florida, but its prey includes a number Description of economically important species. Adults The length of males is approximately 12 mm, with a head width of 2.3 mm and a humeral width of 6.4 mm. The length of females is 12 to 17 mm, with a head width of 2.4 mm and a humeral width of 7.2 mm. Euthyrhynchus floridanus (Figure 2) normally can be distinguished from all other stink bugs in the southeastern United States by a red- dish spot at each corner of the scutellum outlined against a blue-black to purplish-brown ground color. Variations occur that might cause confusion with somewhat similar stink bugs in several genera, such as Stiretrus, Oplomus, and Perillus, but these other bugs have obtuse humeri, or at least lack the distinct humeral spine that is present in adults of Euthyrhynchus. In addition, species of these genera Figure 1.

  • Acquired Natural Enemies of Oxyops Vitiosa 1
    Christensen et al.: Acquired Natural Enemies of Oxyops vitiosa 1 ACQUIRED NATURAL ENEMIES OF THE WEED BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENT OXYOPS VITIOSA (COLEPOTERA: CURCULIONIDAE) ROBIN M. CHRISTENSEN, PAUL D. PRATT, SHERYL L. COSTELLO, MIN B. RAYAMAJHI AND TED D. CENTER USDA/ARS, Invasive Plant Research Laboratory, 3225 College Ave., Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33314 ABSTRACT The Australian curculionid Oxyops vitiosa Pascoe was introduced into Florida in 1997 as a biological control agent of the invasive tree Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) S. T. Blake. Pop- ulations of the weevil increased rapidly and became widely distributed throughout much of the invasive tree’s adventive distribution. In this study we ask if O. vitiosa has acquired nat- ural enemies in Florida, how these enemies circumvent the protective terpenoid laden exu- dates on larvae, and what influence 1 of the most common natural enemies has on O. vitiosa population densities? Surveys of O. vitiosa populations and rearing of field-collected individ- uals resulted in no instances of parasitoids or pathogens exploiting weevil eggs or larvae. In contrast, 44 species of predatory arthropods were commonly associated (>5 individuals when pooled across all sites and sample dates) with O. vitiosa. Eleven predatory species were ob- served feeding on O. vitiosa during timed surveys, including 6 pentatomid species, 2 formi- cids and 3 arachnids. Species with mandibulate or chelicerate mouthparts fed on adult stages whereas pentatomids, with haustellate beaks, pierced larval exoskeletons thereby by- passing the protective larval coating. Observations of predation were rare, with only 8% of timed surveys resulting in 1 or more instances of attack. Feeding by the pentatomid Podisus mucronatus Uhler accounted for 76% of all recorded predation events.

Roger Leonard Clemson University in cooperation with Louisiana State University, New Mexico State Uni- versity and the University of Georgia. Funding by Cotton Incorporated. Identification and Management of Common Boll-Feeding Bugs in Cotton Jeremy K. Greene, C. Scott Bundy, Phillip M. Roberts and B. Roger Leonard Introduction This publication was developed to provide a summary of information about common boll- feeding bugs (heteropteran pests), stress proper identification of these pests, and acquaint the reader with the recommended strategies for management of boll-feeding bugs in cotton. The first section of this publication emphasizes the recent importance of boll-feeding bugs in cotton and provides a brief discussion of the biology of these pests. The second section offers a general guide to identification of the common boll-feeding bug pests in cotton. The final section presents an overview of current management strategies for boll-feeding bugs and suggests implications for their future control in cotton.

Hussey WITH Bibliography BY Elizabeth Sherman INTRODUCTION Thirty-five years have passed since the publication of the last complete list of the Pyrrhocoridae, in the second volume of the "Catalogue General des Hemipteres" by Lethierry and Severin. From that time until about 1912 this family received considerable attention from Hemipterists and nu- merous species were described, principally by Breddin, Bergroth, Distant and Schouteden. These were listed in Bergroth's second supplement to the Lethierry and Severin Catalogue, which appeared in the Memoires de la Societe Entomologique de Belgique in 1913. Since then, however, entomologists have given scant attention to the Pyrrhocoridae. It is my hope that renewed activity will follow the appearance of the present Catalogue, with its index to the literature on the family.

  • Hemiptera) of Oklahoma
    The Pentatomoidea (Hemiptera) of Oklahoma Don C. Arnold and W.A. Drew Department of Entomology Oklahoma State University Introduction The Pentatomoidea consists of four families of bugs characterized by moderate to large scutellums which in some cases cover almost the entire dorsal side of the abdomen. They have three-segmented tarsi (in Oklahoma species), four-segmented beaks, and usually five-segmented antennae. The family Pentatomidae is the largest with 53 species recorded from Oklahoma. Other families are Cydnidae with 13 recorded species, Corimelacnidae with 9 species, and Scutelleridae with 6 species. In addition, 1 cydnid, 1 corimelaenid, and 1 pentatomid probably occur in Oklahoma but have not as yet been collected. Most species are plant feeders, although among the pentatomids some (e.g., Brochymena) are omnivorous, and others (e.g., Podisus) appear to be entirely predaceous. Most are at least semiarboreal, but some (e.g. most cydnids) are terrestrial or fossorial. Life histories of many species are not well known, but the majority appear to have one generation per year with the adults overwintering. Some pentatomids are known to have two generations per year. See McPherson (1982) for the known biological references. Chinch bug surveys in Oklahoma have shown that bunch grass clumps are an important overwintering site for many species. See Table 1 for a list of species collected from this habitat. Many species are not considered economically important. Some are not common and others feed on noneconomic plants. Notable exceptions are Acrosternum hilare (Say) on soybeans and Murgantia histrionica (Hahn) on vegetable crops. Certain predaceous species [e.g., Podisus maculiventris (Say)] are beneficial.
