    LES INSECTES PHYTOPHAGES ASSOCIÉS À DES PLANTES EXOTIQUES ENVAHISSANTES À L’ÎLE DE LA RÉUNION (MASCAREIGNES) Marc ATTIÉ1, Stéphane BARET1 & Dominique STRASBERG1 SUMMARY. — Phytophagous insects associated to non-native invasive plants at Réunion Island (Mascarene). — Absence of the natural enemies that limit their populations in their areas of origin generally explains the propagation of invasive plants. Few associations are known between invasive plants and insects at Réunion Island. There, in infested indigenous ecosystems, 42 phytophagous insects (Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera and Phasmida), among which 19 are endemic of one or several Mascarene Islands, have been recorded on 20 non-native invasive plant species. Among the 220 associations with invasive or indigenous plants 147 were not recorded before. Lepidoptera and Coleoptera form the predominant insect groups. Lepidoptera include several families: Crambidae, Geo- metridae, Hesperiidae, Noctuidae, Nymphalidae, Sphingidae, whereas Coleoptera (14 species) are mainly Curculionidae with 13 recognized weevil species. The host range spectrum is very broad for the greatest part of collected insects. The endemic species of Geometridae are essentially associated with endemic plants (39% of records) while the species with a broad distribution are mainly recorded on invasive species. The Geometridae family is more closely associated with endemic plants than Noctui- dae and Curculionidae; while the Noctuidae with a broad distribution are more closely associated with alien plants (30% of the records) than Geometridae and Curculionidae (respectively 7% et 4%). Some endemic polyphagous Curculionidae are also associated with invasive (14%) or non-invasive (8%) exo- tic plants. These significant differences are mainly explained by the very nature of the diet.

  • Fruit from China Into the Continental United States a Qualitative
    Pest Risk Assessment for Citrus from China Importation of Citrus spp. (Rutaceae) United States fruit from China into the continental Department of Agriculture United States Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service A Qualitative, Pathway-Initiated Pest October 3, 2017 Risk Assessment Version 4.0 Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology Plant Protection and Quarantine Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service United States Department of Agriculture 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Pest Risk Assessment for Citrus from China Executive Summary The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) prepared this risk assessment document to examine plant pest risks associated with importing commercially produced fruit of Citrus spp. (Rutaceae) for consumption from China into the continental United States. The risk ratings in this risk assessment are contingent on the application of all components of the pathway as described in this document (e.g., washing, brushing, and disinfesting). Citrus fruit produced under different conditions were not evaluated in this risk assessment and may have a different pest risk. The proposed species or varieties of citrus for export are as follows: Citrus sinensis (sweet orange), C. grandis (= C. maxima) cv. guanximiyou (pomelo), C. kinokuni (cherry orange), C. poonensis (ponkan), and C. unshiu (Satsuma mandarin). This assessment supersedes a qualitative assessment completed by APHIS in 2014 for the importation of citrus from China. This assessment is independent of the previous assessment, however it draws from information in the previous document. This assessment is updated to be inline with our current methodology, incorporates important new research, experience, and other evidence gained since 2014.

  • On Some Geometridae (Lepidoptera) Collected in Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands
    Phelsuma 25 (2017); 13-29 On some Geometridae (Lepidoptera) collected in Madagascar and the Mascarene islands. Maik Bippus 193 bis CD 41, 97419 La Possession, LA RÉUNION e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Recent records of some selected species of Geometridae from Madagascar, Réunion and Mauritius as well as new hostplant records for 6 species are reported. One species is recorded for the first time from Réunion island and four species from Mauritius. Semiothisa troni Guillermet, 2011 is found being a syn. nov. of Chiasmia crassilembaria (Mabille, 1880). The genitalia of 15 species are imaged: Epigynopteryx modesta (Butler, 1880), Psilocerea monochroma Herbulot, 1954, Psilocerea swinhoei Herbulot, 1959, as well as the male of Chloroclystis latifasciata de Joannis, 1932 for the first time. The caterpillars of 4 species are illustrated. Keywords: Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Madagascar, Mascarene islands Many species of African Lepidoptera have hardly ever been illustrated in the past and no, or few, hostplant records are available for most species. I would therefore like to share some of my observations from the Mascarene islands of Mauritius and Réunion as well as in Madagascar. It appears that the diversity of the lepidopterous fauna is underestimated, in particular for the island of Mauritius which has not been systematically prospected for 60 years.

E-mail: [email protected] (Received 25 Feb, 2018; Accepted 14 Mar, 2018; Published 27 Mar, 2018) ABSTRACT: The present biodiversity study was conducted in Himachal Pradesh, India to find the status of geome- trid moth diversity in Chirpine forest. During the study, about 212 specimens of moths were collected with the help of light trap from different selected sites of Chirpine forest. All the specimens were sorted into thirty six species of geometrid belonged to 27 genera and three subfamilies. The subfamily Ennominae was represented with maximum 67% species followed by the subfamily Geometrinae (22%) and the subfamily Sterrhinae (11%). The population of the Geometrinae subfamily was moderate, which may be due to the lack of specific host availability and desired habitat preference. This is the first record of geometrid moth diversity study in the Chirpine forest of Himachal Pradesh. Keywords: Geometrid moth; Taxonomy; Chirpine; Diversity; Ennominae; Geometrinae and Sterrhinae.
