Southern France, like the rest of the world, is facing the emergence of diseases aVecting plants, animals and humans, of which causative agents (viruses, parasites, bacteria) are transmitted by arthropod vectors. Global changes are accelerating the emergence and spread of these diseases. After presenting some examples related to vectors of yellow fever and dengue viruses (Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus), Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (Hyalomma marginatum), Bluetongue (Culicoides sp.), and the phytopathogen Xylella fastidiosa (Hemiptera spp.), we will discuss what are the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that make an arthropod a vector in a given place and at a given time. We also propose some thoughts regarding these emergences, possible scenarios for their evolution and some recommendations for the future. ¤ Corresponding author.

Le sud de la France, comme le reste du monde, est confronté à l’émergence de maladies aVectant les plantes, les animaux et les populations humaines, dont les agents étiologiques (virus, parasites, bactéries) sont transmis par des arthropodes vecteurs. Les changements globaux auxquels nous faisons face accélèrent l’apparition et la diVusion de ces pathologies. Après avoir pris quelques exemples concernant les vecteurs des virus de la fièvre jaune et de la dengue (Aedes aegypti et Ae. albopictus), de la fièvre de Crimée-Congo (Hyalomma marginatum), de la fièvre catarrhale ovine (Culicoides sp.) et de la bactérie phytopathogène Xylella fastidiosa (Hemiptera spp.), nous verrons quels sont les facteurs intrinsèques et extrinsèques qui font qu’un arthropode devient un vecteur en un lieu et à un moment donné. Nous proposons des pistes de réflexion sur ces émergences et le possible devenir des maladies transmises par arthropodes. Nous concluons par quelques recommandations pour mieux anticiper les émergences. Keywords. Vector, Mosquito, Tick, Midges, Xylella, Emergence, Risk. Mots-clés.

The native resident fauna of these islands consists of 42 species of which 21 (50%) are endemic, in 27 genera, of which 3 (11%) are endemic, in 12 families. The endemic fauna is characterised by brachyptery (66%), body size under 10 mm (72%) and concealed, or strictly ground- dwelling larval life. All species can be related to mainland forms; there is a distinctive pre-Pleistocene element as well as some instances of possible Pleistocene introductions, as suggested by the presence of pairs of species, one member of which is endemic but fully winged. A graph and tables are given showing the composition of the fauna, its distribution, habits, and presumed derivations. Host plants or host niches are discussed. An additional 7 species are considered to be non-resident waifs. The taxonomic part includes keys to families (applicable only to the subantarctic fauna), and to genera and species.

Summary Two Asiatic Euliini genera, Drachmobola Meyrick and Protopterna Meyrick are characterised, and two are described : Dicanticinta gen.n. (for Tortrix diticinctana Walsingham) and Minutargyrotoza gen.n. (for Capua minuta Walsingham). All their known species are discussed or mentioned, and one is described : Protopterna eremia sp.n.

Toutes les espèces connues de ces genres sont présentées ou mentionées, et une nouvelle espèces est décrite : Protopterna eremia sp.n. Note préliminaire sur la tribu Euliini, avec quelques renseignements sur ses genres non paléarctiques. Introduction Obraztsov (1965) placed the genera Drachmobola Meyrick and Protopterna Meyrick in the tribe Cnephasiini. Common (1963) included at least two Australian genera in that tribe and redescribed Drachmobola strigulata Meyrick. Diakonoff (1975) transferred Drachmobola to the Epitymbiini, describing in it one unrelated species. Kuznetsov & Stekolnikov (1977) erected in the Cochylini a new subtribe Euliina to comprise two genera, viz., Eulia Hübner and Pseudargyrotoza Obraztsov.

The damages are visibly seen as holes, galls, necrotic spots, and incursions occurring along leaf margins. The predominant insect species are leaf-mining moth (Phyllocnistis sp.), leaf gall species (Stephaniella falcaria, Monolepta sp.), caterpillars (Dasychira sp., Capua endocypha and Odites spp.) and scale insects (Aspidiotus destructor). Avicennia species suffer more leaf damage than do Rhizophora species. This correlates negatively with tannin concentration in the leaves.

    299 New Hawaiian Lepidoptera BY 0. H. SWE)ZEY (Presented at the meeting of December 1, 1932) While making studies on the insect faunas of the native forest trees of the high plateau of Kauai in the vicinity of the Kokee summer camps in June and July, 1932, several new moths were discovered, which are herein described. These were all reared from larvae found in their respective natural habitats. This is an indication of the possibilities of the discovery of more new species when there is further opportunity for research in that region. A new moth from the Waianae Mts., Oahu, and some notes on a few other Hawaiian moths are herewith included. Types of the new species are deposited in the collection of the Hawaiian Ento mological Society. Phycitidak Homoeosoma bidensana n. sp. Male, 17 mm., female, 18-27 mm. Whole insect nearly uniformly brownish fuscous. Forewing having two oblique bars of white scales, one arising at about 1/5 of costa and extending obliquely to about middle of dorsum, the other arising at about 4/5 of costa and extending obliquely across wing parallel to termen. Sometimes a suffusion of white scales on part of the middle of wing between the white bars, and also near termen. Veins 4 and 5 of forewings coincident as in humeralis. Very distinct from other Hawaiian species of the genus. Described from 1 male and 3 females reared from larvae boring in the stems of Bidens costnoides; pupation takes place within the stem. Hab.—KAUAI, Kumuwela, June 25 and July 15, 1932; Nua- lolo, June 26, 1932 (Swezey).
