The number of attracted beetles to intact apple branches, estimated by number of entrance holes, appeared six and five peaks of population density during two successive years of study (2017 and 2018). 4) Seasonal activity of attracted beetles detected that the highest percentages of entrance holes were recorded during the summer followed by the spring or autumn then the winter. The highest monthly percentage of entranced beetles recorded 15.63% during July (2017) and 14.67% during August (2018), while the lowest percentage showed at January of both two seasons.

Imada Hawaii Biological Survey Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96817, USA Final Report prepared for the U.S. Navy Contribution No. 2021-003 to the Hawaii Biological Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bishop Museum was contracted by the U.S. Navy to conduct surveys of terrestrial arthropods in Hālona Valley, Naval Magazine Lualualei Annex, in order to assess the status of populations of three groups of insects, including species at risk in those groups: picture-winged Drosophila (Diptera; flies), Hylaeus spp. (Hymenoptera; bees), and Rhyncogonus welchii (Coleoptera; weevils). The first complete survey of Lualualei for terrestrial arthropods was made by Bishop Museum in 1997. Since then, the Bishop Museum has conducted surveys in Hālona Valley in 2015, 2016–2017, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. The current survey was conducted from August 2020 through November 2020, comprising a total of 12 trips; using yellow water pan traps, pitfall traps, hand collecting, aerial net collecting, observations, vegetation beating, and a Malaise trap. The area chosen for study was a Sapindus oahuensis grove on a southeastern slope of mid-Hālona Valley. The area had potential for all three groups of arthropods to be present, especially the Rhyncogonus weevil, which has previously been found in association with Sapindus trees. Trapped and collected insects were taken back to the Bishop Museum for sorting, identification, data entry, and storage and preservation. The results of the surveys proved negative for any of the target groups.

    Importation of Fresh Fruit of Avocado, Persea americana Miller var. ‘Hass’, into the Continental United States from Colombia A Pathway-Initiated Risk Assessment October 31, 2016 Version 4 Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection and Quarantine 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Pest Risk Assessment for Hass Avocado from Colombia Executive Summary The Republic of Colombia requested approval for imports into the continental United States of fresh avocado fruit, Persea americana Mill. var. ‘Hass’, without a peduncle. Because this commodity has not been imported from Colombia before, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) conducted a pathway-initiated risk assessment to determine the risks associated with importing these ‘Hass’ avocados. We developed a list of pests known to occur in Colombia and associated with avocado based on the scientific literature, port-of-entry pest interception data, and information provided by the Colombian Ministry for Agriculture and Rural Development, and the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA). Commercial ‘Hass’ avocado is a conditional non-host for the fruit flies, Anastrepha fraterculus, A. striata, and Ceratitis spp. Thus, we did not list these organisms in the assessment. We determined that three quarantine arthropod pests were likely to follow the pathway, and qualitatively analyzed them to determine the unmitigated risk posed to the United States. Pest Taxonomy Pest Risk Potential Heilipus lauri Boheman Coleoptera: Curculionidae High Heilipus trifasciatus (Fabricius) Coleoptera: Curculionidae High Stenoma catenifer Walsingham Lepidoptera: Elaschistidae High All pests were rated High and for pests with High pest risk potential, mitigations beyond port-of- entry inspection are recommended.

Abstract 1 The host selection behaviour of the walnut twig beetle, Pityophthorus juglandis,was assessed by monitoring the landing rates of the beetles with sticky sheet traps on the host and nonhost hardwood branches. 2 Sticky sheet traps were deployed for 8 weeks from 6 June to 2 August. 2017 in the Putah Creek Riparian Reserve, Davis, CA. Branches from host northern California black walnut, Juglans hindsii, were paired with branches from six nonhost hardwood species. 3 The landing rate of P. juglandis (412 beetles trapped/8 weeks; 389 on host branches, 23 on nonhost branches) was signifcantly greater on the host branches for all nonhost hardwoods except Populus fremontii. Proportional comparisons of beetle presence also revealed a signifcant preference for the host branches compared with all but two nonhost species, Acer negundo and P. fremontii. 4 Capturing P. juglandis without the use of an aggregation pheromone was a rare event, underscoring the diffculty of studying the initial phases of host selection behaviour in bark beetles.

  • The Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) of the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean)
    BULLETIN OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF MALTA (2009) Vol. 2 : 25-52 The Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) of the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean) David MIFSUD1 & Miloš KNÍŽEK2 ABSTRACT. The bark beetle fauna of the Maltese Islands is reviewed, based on literature records and examination of collected material. A total of twenty-one species have been recorded of which seventeen species represent new records from the Maltese archipelago. These include Hylurgus micklitzi, Kissophagus hederae, Phloeosinus thujae, Liparthrum mori, Scolytus amygdali, Scolytus rugulosus, Scolytus sulcifrons, Pityogenes calcaratus, Orthotomicus erosus, Thamnurgus characiae, Coccotrypes dactyliperda, Crypturgus cylindricollis, Crypturgus numidicus, Xyleborinus saxesenii, Hypocryphalus scabricollis comb. nov., Hypothenemus eruditus and Hypothenemus leprieuri. The earlier citation of Scolytus scolytus is incorrect and should refer to S. sulcifrons whereas the citation of Cryphalus piceae is definitely incorrect due to the absence of its host-plants in Malta. Additionally, two species, Xyleborus ferrugineus and X. volvulus were collected alive on logs originating from Tropical Africa and intended for the timber industry. So far, there were no local records of establishment of these two species in Malta. KEY WORDS. Bark beetles, Malta, Scolytidae, new records. INTRODUCTION The Scolytidae, commonly referred to as bark beetles comprise some 6,000 described species world-wide (BRIGHT & SKIDMORE, 2002; KNÍŽEK & BEAVER, 2004). Most species breed in woody plants where they feed most commonly on the phloem, however few species are known from other plant parts, such as seeds, cones, fruit and the central pith of fallen leaves. Most species prefer dying or dead host material but some species are known to cause primary attacks on healthy host plants, often leading to mortality of the attacked host plant.

Events prompting the quick scan: The quick scan was prompted by the finding of several Organism detected in produce for import, export, in species of Hypothenemus in a Dutch greenhouse that import and trade (sub)tropical cultivation, nature, mentioned in publications, e.g. EPPO plants. Individuals were caught in ethanol – baited Scolytinae traps placed in alert list, etc. compartments with different (sub)tropical plant species and additional samples originated from plants for planting of Annona cherimola, Bauhinia x blakeana and Ficus sp.. Subsequent molecular analysis (based on CO1 sequence data) showed that these specimen possibly belonged to four species, none of them matching H. eruditus, H. hampei or H. obscurus (H. eruditus is present in several EU member states; H. hampei and H. obscurus are known as the economically most important Hypothenemus species). Rationale behind quick scan: Since 14 December 2019, all non-European Scolytinae are listed (as non-European Scolytidae) as EU quarantine organisms (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072, Annex II).
