DESCRIPTION Forewings are 6.5-10.0 mm long, with an overall wingspan of 14-24 mm. Forewing is light- Adult Moth ochre, often darkly banded, hindwings are greyish-white. Body is yellow to reddish brown and generally unmarked. Late instar larvae are green to yellowish green with a darker line on the dorsal surface. Head Larvae and prothoracic shield are dark brown. Reach 17.5 mm in length. Eggs Light Green, laid in plaques measuring 10-15 mm long. Up to four generations can occur in the field between April and October. he threshold of development is about 6°C, but larvae (the overwintering stage) are able to withstand lower temperatures. Females begin to oviposit about 24 h after mating, and each lay 200-240 eggs on LIFE HISTORY the upper surface of carnation leaves, in batches over a period of 3 days. Males live for about 10 days and females 12 days producing approximately 440 eggs (Anon.,1997) Eggs hatch after 10 days or so. The larvae are leaf-rollers. This protects them while they feed on the foliage, then flower buds and stems. Total development lasts 40 days, with pupation occurring after 30. MONITORING INFORMATION Z11-14Ac, Z11-14OH, Z9-14Ac and Z9-14OH on a Red Rubber Septum. Lure LURE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS, longevity: 30 days. SUBSTRATE & FIELD LIFE TRAP TO USE Red Paper or Plastic Delta Trap Hang traps near potential hosts in Early- to Mid-Spring, replacing lure as necessary through the MONITORING STRATEGY winter, if problems persist.

Date: December 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Summary Many orthopterans are associated with large scale destruction of crops, rangeland and pastures. Plangia graminea (Serville) (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) is considered a minor sporadic pest in vineyards of the Western Cape Province, South Africa, and was the focus of this study. In the past few seasons (since 2012) P. graminea appeared to have caused a substantial amount of damage leading to great concern among the wine farmers of the Western Cape Province. Very little was known about the biology and ecology of this species, and no monitoring method was available for this pest. The overall aim of the present study was, therefore, to investigate the biology and ecology of P. graminea in vineyards of the Western Cape to contribute knowledge towards the formulation of a sustainable integrated pest management program, as well as to establish an appropriate monitoring system.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: We are notifying the public that we propose to make changes to the import requirements in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Plants for Planting Manual for imports of Dianthus spp. (carnation) cuttings from Kenya. Currently, Dianthus spp. cuttings from Kenya require mandatory postentry quarantine within the United States. We are proposing to allow Dianthus spp. cuttings from Kenya to be imported into the United States without postentry quarantine, subject to certain conditions. These changes to the USDA Plants for Planting Manual would relieve restrictions on Dianthus spp. cuttings from Kenya while continuing to address the possible introduction of quarantine pests through the importation of such cuttings. We are making these changes available to the public for review and comment. DATES: We will consider all comments that we receive on or before [Insert date 60 days after date of publication in the Federal Register].

Seasonal Occurrence of Vine Pests in Commercially Treated Vineyards in the Hex River Valley in the Western Cape Province, South Africa
Seasonal occurrence of vine pests in commercially treated vineyards in the Hex River Valley in the Western Cape Province, South Africa M. De Villiers* & K.L. Pringle Department of Conservation Ecology and Entomology, Faculty of AgriSciences, University of Stellenbosch, Private Bag X1, Matieland, 7602 South Africa The population fluctuations of arthropods attacking table grapes were studied in 12 commercially treated vineyards in the Hex River Valley in South Africa for three years. Sampling was conducted by inspecting different plant parts and using a variety of traps. Planococcus ficus (Signoret) males in the pheromone traps started increasing during Decem- ber,to reach a peak at the end of February. Cordon infestation preceded bunch infestation by three to five months, the latter occurring from about January or February. Thrips, mainly Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), caught on blue sticky traps were active during spring and early summer. Damage to the berries occurred about four weeks after thrips were recorded on the sticky traps. Phlyctinus callosus Boh. was recorded under fluted cardboard bands tied around the stems of vines from early October,with the first bunch damage recorded towards the end of October . More Epichoristodes acerbella (Walker) moths were caught in pheromone traps during the cool winter months than during the hotter summer months. Damage to the bunches started during November and declined during January and February, only to increase again towards the end of February and March. Although Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) moths were caught in pheromone traps, no damage ascribed to this insect was recorded. The only phytophagous mite was Tetranychus urticae Koch, which was active throughout the fruiting season.

Development of a Pest Management System for Table Grapes in the Hex River Valley
DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR TABLE GRAPES IN THE HEX RIVER VALLEY by MARELIZE DE VILLIERS Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Agriculture) at the University of Stellenbosch. Promotor: Dr. K.L. PRINGLE April 2006 i DECLARATION I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this dissertation is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature: ………………………….. Date: ……………………………….. ii ABSTRACT A study was performed to develop a generic pest monitoring system for sampling the main table grape pests in vineyards in the Hex River Valley, Western Cape Province of South Africa. The presence of phytophagous and predatory mites on cover crop plants was also investigated as this may contribute to biological control of the phytophagous mites in vines. Life table studies for Epichoristodes acerbella (Walker), an important phytosanitary pest, were conducted to determine whether or not this pest was sensitive to high temperatures. Information gained from the latter can also be used for breeding purposes in the possible future development of a sterile insect technique (SIT) programme to control this pest. The sampling system consisted of inspecting 20 plots of five vines per plot per one to two hectares. The top fork of each of the five vines per plot was examined for Planococcus ficus (Signoret) to a distance of within 30 cm of the stem, as well as the distal 15 cm of one cane per vine for the presence of P. ficus and damage caused by Phlyctinus callosus Boh.

Epichoristodes Acerbella (Walker) (Lepidoptera
Acta entomologica serbica, 2006, 11 (1/2): 77-81 UDC 595.78 (497.11) 632.78 (497.11) 591.96 (497.11) EPICHORISTODESACERBELLA (WALKER) (LEPIDOPTERA: TORTRICIDAE): A NEW SPECIES IN THE FAUNA OF SERBIA M. GLAVENDEKIĆ Faculty of Forestry University of Belgrade, Kneza Višeslava 1, 11030 Belgrade, Serbia ABSTRACT: The south African carnation tortrix [Epichoristodesacerbella (Walker), 1864] is record- ed for the first time in the fauna of Serbia. It originates from South Africa, Kenya, and Madagascar, but was introduced in 1960 in Germany. Later it appeared in the Scandinavian countries, Italy, France, and Spain. On the Balkan Peninsula, it is known from Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, and Slovenia. KEYWORDS: Epichoristodesacerbella,Dianthus, Rosa, ornamentals, invasive insect INTRODUCTION Ornamentals in international trade occasionally can be infested with quarantine pests, which are defined as pests of potential economic importance. They can cause severe losses in production of ornamentals. The south African carnation tortrix is a polyphagous pest that causes damage to a range of crops, but most importantly to Dianthus spp., Chrysanthemum spp.,and Rosa spp. It is still on the A2Quarantine List in Serbia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria. MATERIAL AND METHODS Samples of E. acerbella were obtained from cut carnation (Dianthus sp.) flowers imported from Italy into Serbia. There were three larvae, which were reared in the Laboratory of Entomology, Faculty of Agriculture, Belgrade-Zemun. Two adults emerged, and one larva was con- served in 75% ethanol. Identification and photo documentation was done at the Faculty of Forestry, University of Belgrade. 78 M.
