He informed the participants that Nelspruit is in the province of Mpumalanga, home of the famous Kruger National Park. Nelspruit is also famous for the mining of coal for electrical power which is much needed in the South African industries. He indicated that 7% of the South African population lives in Nelspruit, and that Nelspruit is one of the major banana-growing areas in South Africa, a sufficient reason to make it the most appropriate place for the banana IPM workshop. He wished participants a successful and fruitful meeting and promised that ITSC would endeavour to provide a good environment for the success of the meeting. Dr Emile Frison, Director INIBAP, also welcomed the participants to the workshop, on his behalf and on behalf of IPGRI. He informed that the workshop was a joint initiative by INIBAP and IITA. He heartly thanked ITSC, especially Dr Zaag de Beer, for the excellent preparation of the workshop. He singled out the hotel bookings, airport arrangements which he termed as marvelous. Dr Frison reiterated that organizing the workshop would have not been possible without the support provided by the donors (The Rockfeller Foundation, NRI, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation ). He thanked those donors for their generous support. He reckoned that it was going to be failure of duty if he failed to thank the “Best Western Hotel” management and staff for their hospitality and homely service to the participants. He sincerely hoped that participants would interact effectively to achieve fruitful results and with that note he wished the workshop a successful meeting. On behalf of IITA, Dr Cliff Gold briefly summarized the activities of IITA pertaining to pest management on Musa in eastern Africa. He said his project began in Uganda in 1990 with two senior staff scientists. By 1993 ESARC was established and the scope of the project broadened to include not only entomology but also nematology, training, and breeding, all of which are crucial elements of IPM. He informed the workshop that all these activities are carried out in close collaboration with National Banana Research Programmes. Mr Simphiwe Mkhize, Representative of the Ministry of Agriculture, noted that the workshop aimed at addressing issues of future sustainability of agricultural research outputs. He reiterated the importance of investing in science and technology and the need to ensure adequate sustainability of genetic improvement. He informed the participants that South Africa is taking steps to fully join other research organizations, that it contributes 1.7 million dollars to CGIAR and is in the process of negotiating with IPGRI to be recognized as a gene-indexing centre. Mr Mkhize however indicated that he 1 (Rapporteur notes) 4 Opening session was not pleased by the fact that the previously disadvantaged groups (e.g women

  • The Silvanidae of Israel (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea)
    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY, Vol. 44–45, pp. 75–98 (1 October 2015) The Silvanidae of Israel (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea) ARIEL -LEIB -LEONID FRIEDM A N The Steinhardt Museum of Natural History and Israel National Center for Biodiversity Studies, Depart ment of Zoology, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, 69978 Israel E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Silvanidae is a family comprising mainly small, subcortical, saproxylic, beetles with the more or less dorsoventrally flattened body. It is a family of high economic importance, as some of the species are pests of stored goods; some of them are distributed throughout the world, mainly by human activities. Nine teen species of Silvanidae in ten genera are hereby recorded from Israel. Eleven of those are considered alien, of which four are established either in nature or indoor; eight species are either indigenous or have been introduced in the very remote past. Seven species, Psammoecus bipunctatus, P. triguttatus, Pa rasilvanus fairemairei, Silvanus castaneus, S. inarmatus, S. ?mediocris and Uleiota planatus, are recorded from Israel for the first time. Airaphilus syriacus was recorded only once in 1913; its status is doubtful. A. abeillei may occur in Israel, although no material is available. Twelve species are associated with stored products, although only three, Ahasverus advena, Oryzaephilus suri na- mensis and O. mercator, are of distinct economic importance; the rest are either rare or only occasionally intercepted on imported goods. An identification key for all genera and species is provided. KEYWORDS: Flat Bark Beetles, stored product pests, alien, invasive species, identification key. INTRODUCTION The family Silvanidae Kirby, 1837 is comparatively small, with almost 500 described species in 58 genera.

Accepted 19 October, 2009 This study aims to assess the influence of temperature and food type on the instantaneous population growth rate of Cathartus quadricollis (Guerin-Meneville). ri was evaluated at 20, 25, 30 and 35°C in association with broken maize, wheat, sorghum and rice, maize flour and wheat bran. The optimum development temperature was also estimated for each food. The instantaneous growth rate of C. quadricollis was influenced by temperature and food type. ri values were low at the 20°C in all food types and increased at 25°C. There was a slight reduction at 30°C, but there was no insect development at 35°C, except for maize flour, with low ri (instantaneous population growth rate) values. Optimum temperature for C. quadricollis growth ranged from 26.26 to 27.14°C for the most suitable foods (broken maize, wheat and sorghum and maize flour). Under favorable conditions of food and temperature, C. quadricollis showed high population growth values in relation to other stored-product pests, indicating that this species has reproductive potential to become an important stored-product pest.

Similar to dry Life Histories grains, these commodities are typically maintained and Behavior at such low moisture levels that preserving quality by minimizing insect damage can be a significant chal- lenge. Stored commodities may become infested at the processing plant or warehouse, in transit, at the store, or at home. Many arthropod pests of stored commodities are relatively abundant outdoors, but natural host plants before preadaptation to stored products remain unknown. Capable of long flight, they migrate into unprotected warehouses. Adults (larvae) crawl through seams and folds or chew into sealed packages and multiply, diminishing product quality and quantity. Infestations may spread within a manufacturing facility through electrical conduit Figure 1. Adult of the cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne and control panels.

SILVANIDAE The Silvanidae are a small family closely related to the Cucujidae. The adults are narrow and distinctly flattened, possess 11 -segmented antennae with a compact club. The elytra completely cover the abdomen, and there are five visible abdominal sternites. The tarsi are all 5-segmented. Most species are probably predacious, but two species of Oryzaephilus are of great importance as secondary pests attacking broken or milled cereals and oilseeds, while Ahasverus advena Waltl, the "foreign grain beetle", probably feeds on moults and refuse, and is rarely found in grain which is in good dry condition. Another closely related species, Cathartus quadricollis (Guerin-Meneville) which resembles the saw-toothed grain beetle, but differs by the square prothorax which lacks the six large teeth on either side, is one of the most common beetles in stored corn in the Southern USA, and on damaged and exposed ears in the field. Its form and habit are also similar, while the larvae have the annoying habit of devouring the germs of the seeds in which they breed.

Xylosandrus compactus, X. crassiusculus and X. germanus are native to Asia, and currently established in several countries around the globe. Adult females bore galleries into the plant xylem inoculating mutualistic ambrosia fungi that serve as food source for the developing progeny. Tunneling activity results in chewed wood extrusion from entry holes, sap outfow, foliage wilting followed by canopy dieback, and branch and trunk necrosis. Maintaining plant health by reducing physiological stress is the frst recommendation for long-term control. Baited traps, ethanol-treated bolts, trap logs and trap trees of selected species can be used to monitor Xylosandrus species. Conventional pest control methods are mostly inefective against Xylosandrus beetles because of the pests’ broad host range and rapid spread. Due to challenges with conventional control, more innovative control approaches are being tested, such as the optimization of the push–pull strategy based on specifc attractant and repellent combinations, or the use of insecticide-treated netting.

Reduction in the yield and quality of coffee results from the adult female CBB boring into the coffee fruit and building galleries for reproduction, followed by larval feeding on the bean itself. This review examines the invasion biology of CBB in various coffee-growing regions throughout the world, comparing and contrasting patterns in historically invaded countries with those that were more recently invaded. The situation in Hawaii is highlighted as a case study for the development and implementation of a successful integrated pest management (IPM) program following 10 years of research and outreach.
