Plangia graminea (Serville) (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) is considered a minor sporadic pest in vineyards of the Western Cape Province, South Africa, and was the focus of this study. In the past few seasons (since 2012) P. graminea appeared to have caused a substantial amount of damage leading to great concern among the wine farmers of the Western Cape Province. Very little was known about the biology and ecology of this species, and no monitoring method was available for this pest. The overall aim of the present study was, therefore, to investigate the biology and ecology of P. graminea in vineyards of the Western Cape to contribute knowledge towards the formulation of a sustainable integrated pest management program, as well as to establish an appropriate monitoring system.

    Insect Mimicry of Plants Dates Back to the Permian

    ARTICLE Received 4 Jul 2016 | Accepted 28 Oct 2016 | Published 20 Dec 2016 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms13735 OPEN Insect mimicry of plants dates back to the Permian Romain Garrouste1,*, Sylvain Hugel2,*, Lauriane Jacquelin1, Pierre Rostan3, J.-Se´bastien Steyer4, Laure Desutter-Grandcolas1,** & Andre´ Nel1,** In response to predation pressure, some insects have developed spectacular plant mimicry strategies (homomorphy), involving important changes in their morphology. The fossil record of plant mimicry provides clues to the importance of predation pressure in the deep past. Surprisingly, to date, the oldest confirmed records of insect leaf mimicry are Mesozoic. Here we document a crucial step in the story of adaptive responses to predation by describing a leaf-mimicking katydid from the Middle Permian. Our morphometric analysis demonstrates that leaf-mimicking wings of katydids can be morphologically characterized in a non-arbitrary manner and shows that the new genus and species Permotettigonia gallica developed a mimicking pattern of forewings very similar to those of the modern leaf-like katydids. Our finding suggests that predation pressure was already high enough during the Permian to favour investment in leaf mimicry. 1 Institut de Syste´matique, E´volution, Biodiversite´, ISYEB, UMR 7205, CNRS, MNHN, UPMC, EPHE, Muse´um national d’Histoire naturelle, Sorbonne Universite´s, 57 rue Cuvier, CP 50, Entomologie, F-75005, Paris, France. 2 INCI, UPR 3212 CNRS, Universite´ de Strasbourg, 8 rue Blaise Pascal, 67084 Strasbourg, France. 3 Mines and Avenir, Les Albrands, F-05380 Chaˆteauroux Les Alpes, France. 4 Centre de Recherches en Pale´obiodiversite´ et Pale´oenvironnements, UMR 7202—CNRS, MNHN, UPMC, EPHE, Muse´um national d’Histoire naturelle, Sorbonne Universite´s, 8 rue Buffon, CP 38, F-75005 Paris, France.

The relationship between males and females of the strepsipteran Caenocholax fenyesi Pierce (Myrmecolacidae) (hosts- males: Solenopsis invicta Buren (Formicidae), females: Hapithus agi- tator Uhler (Orthoptera)), as well as between Stichotrema dallatorreanum Hofeneder, and other unidentified myrmecolacid females from Papua New Guinea is examined. Methods were de- veloped for extraction, amplification, and high-resolution sequencing of mitochondrial and nu- clear DNA from alcohol-preserved Strepsiptera. Phylogenetic analyses were performed in the ex- amination of myrmecolacid family structure based upon sequences from segments of the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I (COI, 300 bases) and the nuclear 18S rRNA (18S, 213 bases) genes. Sequence analysis of the COI and 18S regions showed 29% difference between the C. fenyesi male and putative female, 0.78% difference between two female Myrmecolacidae from West New Britain Province (WNB-A and WNB-B), and 0.95% difference between a differ- ent myrmecolacid female (WNB-C) from West New Britain Province, and a myrmecolacid fe- male (POP) from Popondetta, Oro Province, Papua New Guinea.

Published 1 December 2001. Stichotrema dallatorreanum Hofeneder (Strepsiptera) is a parasite of Sexava nubila Stål, Segestes decoratus Redtenbacher and Segestidea novaeguineae (Brancsik) (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) in Oro Province, Papua New Guinea. These species of Sexava (a common name for this group of tettigoniids), which severely defoliate oil palm, are kept in check by the female strepsipteran S. dallatorreanum. In order to investigate whether there were other host reservoirs of S. dallatorre- anum in Oro and West New Britain Provinces, various species of Orthoptera were sampled in these areas, in the bush, village oil palm blocks, and large oil palm plantations. Three species of Orthoptera (Tettigoniidae) (one from Oro Province and two in West New Britain) parasitised by female Strepsiptera were collected. Mitochondrial DNA analysis showed that female Myrme- colacidae found in these hosts were of three different species (Halbert et al.: pg. 179). Des- criptions of the two new species of female Myrmecolacidae are provided: Stichotrema jeyasothiae Kathirithamby sp. n. and S. waterhousi Kathirithamby sp. n. There are no distinct external mor- phological characters to differentiate between the female Myrmecolacidae, and we here intro- duce the use of the shape and structure of the microvillate cells in the apron, as a possible taxo- nomic character.

Willemse, 1927௅2009 Fer Willemse was born in Eygelshoven (The Nether- lands) on the 15th of December 1927. In 1953, he re- ceived a PhD on lung diseases, a study inspired by the mining village in which he grew up. He married Marie-Thérèse Dresen in 1955 and together they had three children, Dominique, Lucas, and Emanuel. In 1956, he took over part of the general practitioner's clinic at Eygelshoven, which belonged to his father and brother. Fer and his wife joyfully worked together for 35 years. As doctor he did not consider diseases as being only physical. By carefully inquiring and lis- tening, he also considered the patients' minds and circumstances. Fer also took over his father's broad interest in living nature, the collecting and studying of insects. In this large group, he focused on grasshoppers. In one of his last papers he acknowledged his father as follows: "First and foremost I wish to express my gratitude to my father, the late C.J.M. Willemse (1888-1962). Under his guidance my interest, curiosity and respect for nature was initiated and he has been an example for me in my interest in biodi- versity in general and the study of Orthoptera in particular all through my life." (Articulata Beiheft 13, 2008) Starting in the 1960s and encouraged by his wife, his passion for insects led to many adventurous family trips.

Seven new species were described in the Conocephalidae, Phisidini, by Jin & Kevan (1992). Eighteen additional new species and a subspecies are described in this paper, seventeen by Vickery & Kevan and one by English & Kevan, nine in the Gryllacrididae: Niphetogryllacris marianae, N. tolensis, Anancistrogera palauensis, Neanias ogasawarensis, Prosopogryllacris palauensis, P. chuukensis, Melaneremus marianae marianae, M. m. rotaensis, M. saiensis, and M. kosraensis; two in the Rhaphidophoridae: Rhaphidophora ponapensis and Stonychophora palauensis; three in the Phaneropteridae: Casigneta palauensis, Isopsera yapanese and I. palauensis; one in the Mecopodidae: Ocica ponapensis English & Kevan; and three in the Conocephalidae: Spinisternum palauensis, Macroxiphus globiceratus and Salomona ponapensis. Nine species are added to the lists of Kevan (1987, 1990), including one described as new. Twenty-six species are known to be endemic in Micronesia. Introduction This paper completes the work on the Orthoptera (sens. str.) and Grylloptera [=Ensifera] of Micronesia, except for the crickets (Grylloidea). Previous papers include a preliminary list (Kevan 1987), the introduced species (Kevan 1990), 1Corresponding author.

Other Names long-horn grasshopper 2.5. Diagnostic Notes The principal pests of oil palm in PNG are a group of insect species from the Tettigoniidae family (Orthoptera), known collectively as sexava. Three species of sexava are pests of oil palm in PNG: _Segestes decoratus, S. defoliaria and S. novaeguineae_. These insects cause damage by feeding on oil palm fronds and defoliation levels can be very severe where high populations occur.
