Pests of Trees and Shrubs Pear sawfly Caliroa cerasi Order Hymenoptera, Family Tenthredinidae; common sawflies Introduced pest Host plants: Cherry, cotoneaster, hawthorn, mountain- ash, pear and plum Description: Adult sawflies are 5–8 mm long, black and yellow, and stout bodied. Larvae are slimy, slug-like, and shiny olive-green to blackish in color. They are 12 mm long when full grown. Life history: Adults emerge early in June and lay single eggs on leaf undersides. Larvae appear in June, feed for about a month, then drop to the soil to pupate. A second generation can begin in early August. Overwintering: Prepupae in the soil. Damage symptoms: Larvae feed on upper leaf surfaces, Scorched leaves caused by pear sawfly larva defoliation leaving only the leaf veins. Heavy defoliation gives the damage.

Monitoring: Look for black, slug-like larvae feeding on the upper surface of leaves in June and again in August, and look for their damage on the leaves. Physical control: Small populations of larvae can be removed by hand and destroyed. Chemical control: Horticultural oils and insecticidal soaps are very effective against larvae. Biological control: No reports of natural enemies Plant mortality risk: Low Biorational pesticides: azadirachtin, horticultural oil, insecticidal soap, pyrethrins, spinosad Conventional pesticides: acephate, bifenthrin, carbaryl, Leaf damage caused by pear sawfly larvae.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Eurytominae (Chalcidoidea: Eurytomidae) Based on Morphological Characters

Several cladograms using the complete species sample, but obtained with different weightings, are presented. Local studies were also carried out to provide possible alternate topologies. The deep nodes of the trees were unstable and were never supported, but most of the superficial nodes were stable and robust. The results therefore provide support for a generic classification of the subfamily. The large genus Eurytoma – which includes about half of the described species of the subfamily – proved to be polyphyletic, and is redefined in a nar- rowed sense using putative synapomorphies. Bruchophagus and Prodecatoma were similarly redefined. The genera Philolema and Aximopsis are reconsidered and defined in a broader concept. A number of the species presently included in Eurytoma were transferred to these genera. Finally, 22 new generic synonymies are proposed and 33 spe- cies are transferred. The study also demonstrates that the Eurytomidae are polyphyletic.

The rose aphid has a wide distribution, feeding on roses throughout the USA. Rose aphids are soft-bodied, pear-shaped insects, approximately 0.63 cm or 1/4 inch in length. They can vary in color from green to pink to red. Rose aphids have two tubes (called cornicles) that protrude out from the end of abdomen, which is where alarm pheromones are emitted. Rose aphids overwinter as eggs on rose canes. Rose aphids generally initiate feeding on roses in early spring as the new flush of growth emerges. They feed on plant fluids within the phloem sieve tubes (food-conducting tissues) with their piercing-sucking mouthparts. Similar to other aphid species, rose aphids tend to congregate or cluster in large numbers feeding on the terminal growth including leaves and stems, and developing flower buds, and on leaf undersides. Their feeding causes leaves to curl downward and deforms flower buds, which may result in flower buds aborting or falling off prematurely before opening. In addition, aphids produce honeydew, which is a clear sticky liquid exudate emitted during feeding. Honeydew attracts ants, wasps, hornets, and serves as a growing medium for black sooty mold fungi.

Jones, Extension Specialist and Ryan S. Davis, Arthropod Diagnostician DID YOU KNOW? • Pear sawfly hosts include pear, cherry, hawthorn, plum, buttonbrush, Juneberry, mountain ash, coto- neaster, and quince. a • There are 2 generations of pear sawfly each year; second generation larvae cause the majority of the damage. • Damage from pear sawfly feeding rarely warrants control. • If control is needed, hand removal or spraying with a strong stream of water can be effective. • Low toxicity chemical controls include insecticidal soap and products containing spinosad A&B.

ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

The pear-slug, or cherry-slug, is a dark, almost black, slimy slug, about 2-5 of an inch long when full grown, which feeds on cherry, pear and plum leaves. 2. These slugs feed on the upper sides of the leaves, eating out all the tissue except the veins and the lower surface. The injured leaves become dry and brown and fall from the trees, which are sometimes left entirely bare of foliage in midsummer. 3. Trees are often killed as a result of repeated defoliation. A short crop of fruit follows a severe attack by this insect, on ac count of the weakened condition of the tree.

Simple Summary: Tenthredinidae is the most speciose family of the paraphyletic ancestral grade Symphyta, including mainly phytophagous lineages. The subfamilial classification of this family has long been problematic with respect to their monophyly and/or phylogenetic placements. This article reports four complete sawfly mitogenomes of Cladiucha punctata, C. magnoliae, Megabeleses magnoliae, and M. liriodendrovorax for the first time. To investigate the mitogenome characteristics of Tenthredinidae, we also compare them with the previously reported tenthredinid mitogenomes.
