A seed beetle Bruchidius siliquastri DELOBEL, 2007 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) was reared from ripe pods of Cercis siliquastrum (Fabaceae) in Bulgaria and this is the first record of the species to the Bulgarian fauna. New host plants of the bruchid species were established on the basis of material collected in Hungary: Cercis occidentalis, Cercis chinensis and Cercis griffithii. A rich hymenopteran complex associated with the seed beetle was reared and comments on it are presented.

  • Release and Establishment of the Scotch Broom Seed Beetle, Bruchidius Villosus, in Oregon and Washington, USA
    Release and establishment of the Scotch broom seed beetle, Bruchidius villosus, in Oregon and Washington, USA E.M. Coombs,1 G.P. Markin2 and J. Andreas3 Summary We provide a preliminary report on the Scotch broom seed beetle, Bruchidius villosus (F.) (Coleop- tera: Bruchidae). This beetle was first recorded as an accidental introduction to North America in 1918. Host-specificity tests were completed before the beetle was released as a classical biological control agent for Scotch broom, Cytisus scoparius L. (Fabaceae), in 1997 in the western USA. Beetles were collected in North Carolina and shipped to Oregon in 1998. More than 135 releases of the beetle have been made throughout western Oregon and Washington. Nursery sites have been established, and collection for redistribution began in 2003. The bruchid’s initial establishment rate is higher in in- terior valleys than at cooler sites near the coast and in the lower Cascade Mountains. Seed-pod attack rates varied from 10% to 90% at release sites that were 3 years old or older. Seed destruction within pods varied from 20% to 80%, highest at older release sites. B. villosus may compliment the impact of the widely established Scotch broom seed weevil, Exapion fuscirostre (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculioni- dae). B. villosus populations were equal to or more abundant than the weevil at seven release sites in Oregon. At sites where the bruchids were established, they made up 37% of the seed-pod beetle population, indicating that they are able to compete with the weevil and increase their populations. At several release sites older than 5 years, bruchid populations have become equal to or more abundant than the weevil’s.

Fruška Gora during 2011 and 2012 were recorded for the first time in Serbian fauna. Originating from Asia, these beetles were accidentally introduced into Europe. Data on their introduction into Serbia, distribution, biology and host plant associations are presented and discussed. KEY WORDS: Bruchinae, invasive, Serbia, distribution, biology, host plants Introduction Seed beetles or weevils are small beetles with worldwide distribution. Approximately 1400 species from 58 genera have been described (BUKEJS, 2010). This phytophagous group of insects has the greatest diversity in tropical and subtropical regions. They have a significant economic importance since a large number of species feed on agriculturally important plants and stored products (SOUTHGATE, 1979). Recently bruchids have often been placed in the family Chrysomelidae as subfamily Bruchinae, although they have historically been treated as a separate family. 130 B. GAVRILOVIĆ & D. SAVIĆ The presence of two invasive bruchid species – Bruchidius siliquastri Delobel, 2007 and Megabruchidius tonkineus (Pic, 1914) – was recorded for the first time for Serbia.

M. Cocks* and Paul E. Eady† School of Life Sciences University of Lincoln Brayford Pool, Lincoln, LN6 7TS UK *Current Address Department of Biology Syracuse University Syracuse NY, USA. † corresponding author: [email protected] Keywords: Parameres, Sperm Competition, Cryptic Female Choice, Aedeagus, Callosobruchus © 2018. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd. Journal of Experimental Biology • Accepted manuscript Brief summary Insect genitalia are fashioned from numerous constituent parts. However, the function of individual components is poorly understood. Microsurgical manipulation reveals two genitalic elements to be crucial in securing copulation. Abstract The copulatory organs of male insects are generally complex, species-specific arrangements of hardened sclerotized plates bound together by flexible, less sclerotized cuticle. Their extensive morphological diversification is a recurrent pattern in the evolutionary radiation of animals, yet a clear consensus as to what selection pressures drive this divergence is still to emerge. In part, this stems from the fact that the function of individual sclerites that integrate to form the aedeagus are poorly understood. In insects the male copulatory organ is often bounded by two lateral parameres tipped with setae. In a number of species these have been observed to brush against the terminal abdominal sclerites of the female, suggesting a role in pre- and/or post-copulatory female choice. However, in the absence of experimental manipulation their function remains elusive.
