  • Artificial Laboratory Breeding of Xylophagous Insect Larvae and Its Application in Cytogenetic Studies 2)
    Eos, t. LXII, págs. 7-22 (1986). Artificial laboratory breeding of xylophagous insect larvae and its application in cytogenetic studies 2) BY J. R. BARAGAÑO, A. NOTARIO y M. G. DE VIEDMA. INTRODUCTION HAYDAK, in 1936, managed to rear Oryzaephilus surinantensis (L.) in the la- boratory using an artificial diet. Many researchers have followed in his footsteps, so that since then, approximately 260 species of Coleoptera have been raised on nonnatural diets. Among these species there are 121 which are eminently xylophagous. They belong to seven families (Buprestidae, Elateridae, Bostrychiclae, Lyctidae, Myc- teridae, Cerambyciclae and Curculionidae). Their importance, from the economic point of view, varies widely : some of them attack living trees making them a pest ; others feed on dead or decaying wood so that they may be considered harmless or even beneficial (for example in the decomposition of tree stumps in forests) ; finally, a few cause damage to seasoned timber. Therefore, specialists in artificial breeding have been motivated by different objectives, and so have chosen the insect or insects in each case which were most suitable for obtaining specific desired results. It is clear that in the majority of cases the choice was not made at random. Generally, the insect studied was either recently established as a pest or well documented as such. •With these laboratory breeding experiments it is possible on the one hand to draw conclusions about the insects' nutritive requirements, parasitism, ethology etc ; and on the other to obtain enough specimens to try out different phytosanitary treatments with them. Both of these achievements are applicable to effectiye control of the insect problem.

The studied species showed two distinct karyotypes, with 2n = 31 (male) and 2n = 23 (male) chromosomes. The drastic reduction in chromosome number observed in the latter case suggests multiple translocations and fusions as the main responsible that occurred during chromosome evolution. Two groups of rDNA distribution were found in Gampsocleis representatives analyzed.

Two different kinds of flies were caught from the pasture area by graziers during April 2020. With the help of Dept. of Agricultural Entomology, Centre for Plant Protection studies, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India, it was identified that Haematopota nathani (Cleg fly) and Stenopogon ambryon (Robber fly) were the two dipteran flies causing annoyance and painful bite in sheep and graziers. H. nathani is the holotype found in Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu, India and the identification of S. ambryon at SRRC, Mannavanur is the first report. Due to the annoyance of these two flies, the problems such as inadequate grass feeding, allergic reactions and weight loss to some extent were observed among sheep. It is recommended that the usage of the ideal trap methods to catch these Cleg flies and Robber flies, Bush cleaning in the grazing area of SRRC, Mannavanur, the studies on the vector potential of H. nathani in the transmission of the infectious diseases such as Bovine Viral Diarrhoea, Anthrax and Brucellosis in sheep and the effects of the salivary secretions of S.

A. glabripennis is a serious pest both in China and the U.S. This research project was developed in response to the need for efficient monitoring traps to assess population density and dispersal in the field and to detect new introductions at ports of entry. The first stages of the project aimed at filling the gaps in our knowledge of the effect of semiochemicals on A. glabripennis adult behavior and exploring potential use of these chemicals for monitoring purposes. Semiochemicals studied were the male- produced putative volatile pheromone vbutan-1-ol and 4-(n-heptyloxy)butanal) and plant volatiles.

Host plants were deteTITIined for 51 species. Observations were made of species abundance and phenology, and the blossoms visited by anthophilous cerambycids. The Huron Mountains area comprises approximately 13,000 ha of forested land in northern Marquette County in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. More than 7000 ha are privately owned by the Huron Mountain Club, including a designated, 2200 ha, Nature Research Area. The variety of habitats combines with differences in the nature and extent of prior disturbance to produce an exceptional diversity of forest communities, making the area particularly valuable for studies of forest insects.

  • The Longhorned Beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the George Washington Memorial Parkway
    Banisteria, Number 44, pages 7-12 © 2014 Virginia Natural History Society The Longhorned Beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the George Washington Memorial Parkway Brent W. Steury U.S. National Park Service 700 George Washington Memorial Parkway Turkey Run Park Headquarters McLean, Virginia 22101 Ted C. MacRae Monsanto Company 700 Chesterfield Parkway West Chesterfield, Missouri 63017 ABSTRACT Eighty species in 60 genera of cerambycid beetles were documented during a 17-year field survey of a national park (George Washington Memorial Parkway) that spans parts of Fairfax County, Virginia and Montgomery County, Maryland. Twelve species are documented for the first time from Virginia. The study increases the number of longhorned beetles known from the Potomac River Gorge to 101 species. Malaise traps and hand picking (from vegetation or at building lights) were the most successful capture methods employed during the survey. Periods of adult activity, based on dates of capture, are given for each species. Relative abundance is noted for each species based on the number of captures. Notes on plant foraging associations are noted for some species. Two species are considered adventive to North America. Key words: Cerambycidae, Coleoptera, longhorned beetles, Maryland, national park, new state records, Potomac River Gorge, Virginia. INTRODUCTION that feed on flower pollen are usually boldly colored and patterned, often with a bee-like golden-yellow The Cerambycidae, commonly known as pubescence. Nocturnal species are more likely glabrous longhorned beetles because of the length of their and uniformly dark, while bicolored species (often antennae, represent a large insect family of more than black and red) are thought to mimic other beetles which 20,000 described species, including 1,100 in North are distasteful.
