This is the second meeting of the new period of activity of the group which was started in 2003 in Chania. Approximately, 86 scientists from 12 different olive growing countries (Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, UK, Austria, USA, Montenrgro, Slovakia, Egypt, Tunisia, Iran) attended the meeting. During the meeting, three plenary lectures, 30 oral contributions and 40 posters were presented. Topics in this Bulletin include: Bactrocera oleae (behaviour, chemical ecology, monitoring, population dynamics, chemical, biological and biotechnical control methods, side effects), other pests of olive groves and olive agroecosystem aspects, diseases and advanced IPM strategies in olive groves. On behalf of the working group and all attendances I would like to express my gratitude to the Local Organizing Committee: Prof. Antonio Belcari (Chairperson), Dr. Marzia Cristiana Rosi, Dr. Patrizia Sacchetti and Prof. Giuseppe Surico from University of Florence, Dr. Bruno Bagnoli from Istituto Sperimentale per la Zoologia agraria of Florence, Dr. Ruggero Petacchi from Biolabs, Sant’ Anna School of Advanced Studies of Pisa and Prof. Alfio Raspi from University of Pisa, for organizing this meeting. I would like also to thank the public and private sponsors who supported financially this working group meeting and contributed substantially to its success. I believe that this Bulletin will be a useful tool for scientists and technicians who have as a target the development of integrated control strategies for pests in olive groves, the preservation of the complex of natural enemies and the reduction of pesticides inputs.

The check list includes 216 species. The map of collecting localities is presented. Key words: Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Erebidae, Asia, Kazakhstan, Saur, fauna. INTRODUCTION The fauna of noctuoid moths (the families Erebidae and Noctuidae) of Kazakhstan is still poorly studied. Only the fauna of West Kazakhstan has been studied satisfactorily (Gorbunov 2011). On the faunas of other parts of the country, only fragmentary data are published (Lederer, 1853; 1855; Aibasov & Zhdanko 1982; Hacker & Peks 1990; Lehmann et al. 1998; Benedek & Bálint 2009; 2013; Korb 2013). In contrast to the West Kazakhstan, the fauna of noctuid moths of East Kazakhstan was studied inadequately.

    Controlling Mosquitoes with Semiochemicals: a Review Madelien Wooding1, Yvette Naudé1, Egmont Rohwer1 and Marc Bouwer2*

    Wooding et al. Parasites Vectors (2020) 13:80 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-020-3960-3 Parasites & Vectors REVIEW Open Access Controlling mosquitoes with semiochemicals: a review Madelien Wooding1, Yvette Naudé1, Egmont Rohwer1 and Marc Bouwer2* Abstract The use of semiochemicals in odour-based traps for surveillance and control of vector mosquitoes is deemed a new and viable component for integrated vector management programmes. Over 114 semiochemicals have been identifed, yet implementation of these for management of infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue, chikungunya and Rift Valley fever is still a major challenge. The difculties arise due to variation in how diferent mosquito spe- cies respond to not only single chemical compounds but also complex chemical blends. Additionally, mosquitoes respond to diferent volatile blends when they are looking for a mating partner, oviposition sites or a meal. Analyti- cally the challenge lies not only in correctly identifying these semiochemical signals and cues but also in develop- ing formulations that efectively mimic blend ratios that diferent mosquito species respond to. Only then can the formulations be used to enhance the selectivity and efcacy of odour-based traps. Understanding how mosquitoes use semiochemical cues and signals to survive may be key to unravelling these complex interactions. An overview of the current studies of these chemical messages and the chemical ecology involved in complex behavioural patterns is given. This includes an updated list of the semiochemicals which can be used for integrated vector control manage- ment programmes. A thorough understanding of these semiochemical cues is of importance for the development of new vector control methods that can be integrated into established control strategies.

Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e62011. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.9.e62011 Abstract Background Dokdo, a group of islands near the East Coast of South Korea, comprises 89 small islands. These volcanic islands were created by an eruption that also led to the formation of the Ulleungdo Islands (located in the East Sea), which are approximately 87.525 km away from Dokdo. Dokdo is important for geopolitical reasons; however, because of certain barriers to investigation, such as weather and time constraints, knowledge of its insect fauna is limited compared to that of Ulleungdo. Until 2017, insect fauna on Dokdo included 10 orders, 74 families, 165 species and 23 undetermined species; subsequently, from 2018 to 2019, we discovered 23 previously unrecorded species and three undetermined species via an insect survey.
