  • SELECTION of Entomopathogenic Nematodes Against Dalaca Pallens (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae)
    RESEARCH SELECTION OF EntoMOPathoGENIC NEMatoDES AGAINST DALACA PALLENS (LEPIDOPTERA: HEPIALIDAE) Alexis Maldonado1, Loreto Merino1, and Andrés France1* Dalaca pallens (Blanchard) is a pest with great impact on grassland production in Chile. The objective of this research was to evaluate the use of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) against D. pallens larvae. Twenty EPN isolates, collected along Chile, were used for nematode selection. The experimental unit consisted of five 50-mL plastic vials filled withNothofagus dombeyi sawdust and inoculated with 40 dauers per vial. The experimental design was a completely randomized with four replicates per treatment. The results showed that isolate QU N3 (Steinernema australe) and QU N13 (Steinernema unicornum) produced the highest mortality, with 100 and 95% respectively and no differences (P < 0.001) between both. Later, these two isolates were used to calculate the lethal concentration (LC50 and LC90). Concentrations of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 dauers per 50-mL plastic vials filled withNothofagus sawdust were evaluated. Then, a single larva of D. pallens was added to each vial and incubated for 13 d. The results showed that LC50 and LC90 were equivalent to 14 and 39 dauers mL-1 for isolate QU N3, while for isolate QUN13 these figures were 14 and 48 dauers mL-1. Consequently, there are native isolates of EPN with the ability to control D. pallens larvae, which require future test under field conditions. Key words: Biological control, Steinernema australe, Steinernema unicornium, lethal concentration. alaca pallens (Blanchard) (Lepidoptera: bacteria, belonging to the genus Xenorhabdus and Hepialidae) is an economically important pest, Photorhabdus, respectively (Emelianoff et al., 2007).

  • SIDE EFFECTS of FUNGICIDES USED in CUCURBITACEOUS CROP on Trichogramma Atopovirilia OATMAN & PLATNER (HYMENOPTERA: TRICHOGRAMATIDAE)
    SCIENTIFIC NOTE 323 SIDE EFFECTS OF FUNGICIDES USED IN CUCURBITACEOUS CROP ON Trichogramma atopovirilia OATMAN & PLATNER (HYMENOPTERA: TRICHOGRAMATIDAE) Dirceu Pratissoli1, André M. Milanez1, Wagner F. Barbosa2*, Flávio N. Celestino1, Gilberto S. Andrade3, and Ricardo A. Polanczyk1 ABSTRACT Trichogramma spp. (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) can control Diaphania hyalinata Linnaeus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). On the other hand, pesticides may reduce the efficiency of natural enemies. The objective was to evaluate the side-effects of fungicides used in the production of cucurbitaceous crops on Trichogramma atopovirilia Oatman & Platner parasitizing D. hyalinata eggs. The fungicides used in bioassays were: azoxystrobin (0.08 g active ingredient [ai] L-1), chlorothalonil (2.00 g ai L-1), mancozeb (1.60 g ai L-1), tebuconazole (0.25 g ai L-1) and thiophanate-methyl (0.49 g ai L-1). Cardboards with 30 D. hyalinata eggs previously immersed in fungicide solutions and distilled water (control) were offered separately to 20 newly emerged T. atopovirilia females in glass tubes. Parasitism, parasitism reduction, emergence, sex ratio, and number of individuals per egg were evaluated. The fungicides chlorothalonil, thiophanate-methyl and tebuconazole reduced parasitism of T. atopovirilia by 43.37, 27.64 and 18.51%, respectively. However, parasitism with azoxystrobin (79.21%) was higher than the control (67.37%) (P ≤ 0.05). Chlorothalonil, thiophanate-methyl and tebuconazole reduced emergence by 73.77, 75.62 and 79.35% (P ≤ 0.05), respectively. Azoxystrobin and thiophanate-methyl reduced the sex ratio by 0.77 and 0.76 (P ≤ 0.05), respectively. Fungicides did not reduce the number of individuals per egg. The fungicides azoxystrobin and mancozeb were selective for T.

    Joints of Utility, Crafts of Knowledge: The Material Culture of the Sino-British Furniture Trade during the Long Eighteenth Century Kyoungjin Bae Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Kyoungjin Bae All rights reserved ABSTRACT Joints of Utility, Crafts of Knowledge: The Material Culture of the Sino-British Furniture Trade during the Long Eighteenth Century Kyoungjin Bae This dissertation examines the material culture of the Sino-British furniture trade in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the beginning of the eighteenth century, the British East India Company (EIC) began importing a large quantity of furniture made in Canton (Guangzhou), China. As the trade between Britain and China became standardized around 1720, this furniture became a part of the private trade carried out by merchants associated with Company. Unlike other objects of the China trade that fed into the vogue of chinoiserie, export furniture crafted with hardwoods from the Indian Ocean was produced in European designs of the time and thus was often indistinguishable from its Western counterparts. What cultural and economic values did export furniture represent in the early modern maritime trade and how did it reify the trans-regional movement of knowledge and taste between China and Britain? Going beyond the conventional perspective on export Chinese objects oriented toward European reception, I connect production with consumption in order to follow the trajectory of export furniture from its origins in the intra-Asian timber trade to its requisition and manufacture in Canton to its reception and use in both Britain and China, highlighting how this process linked the disparate spheres of commerce, knowledge production and distribution, and cultural practices.

  • Genitalia, Classification and Zoogeography of the New Zealand Hepialid Ae (Lepidoptera)
    920 [DEC. GENITALIA, CLASSIFICATION AND ZOOGEOGRAPHY OF THE NEW ZEALAND HEPIALID AE (LEPIDOPTERA) By L. J. DUMBLETON, Entomology Division, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Christchurch (Received for publication 9 May 1966) Summary Some morphological characters of taxonomic importance in the Hepialidae are briefly reviewed. The male genitalia of all existing New Zealand species are described, and the female genitalia of all except one species. The New Zealand species, with the exception of one species of Aenetus Herrich-Schaeffer (= Charagia Walker) and the species transferred to Wiseana Viette, were previously placed in Oxycanus Walker (= Porina Walker, preoccupied). The subfamily Hepialinae in New Zealand includes the non-endemic genus Aenetus and the endemic genus Aoraid gen. n. which has four species. Oxycaninae subfam. n., with Oxycanus as type genus, is defined on venational characters. It includes the endemic genera Wiseana (5 spp.), Trioxycanus gen. n. (3 spp.), Dioxycanus gen. n. (2 spp.), and Cladoxycanus gen. n. (1 sp.). The New Zealand hepialid fauna has its strongest affinities with that of Australia. The present distributions of the species are largely explicable as modification of late- Tertiary distributions resulting from oscillations of climate in the Pleistocene. INTRODUCTION The identification of the species of Hepialidae in New Zealand, except for the work of Philpott (1927a), has been based largely on the colour pattern of the scales of the fore wing. This is extremely variable and for most species there is no satisfactory evidence as to the range of intra- specific variation in this chaarcter and the possible overlapping of the ranges of variation of closely related species.

Sadly, Niels P. Kristensen passed away December 06, 2014, before the manuscript could be completed. He had, however, completed an extensive draft of the taxonomic sections of the text. It therefore seems most fitting that he remains first author of the names proposed here. Accepted 02.v.2017. Published online at www.senckenberg.de/arthropod-systematics on 30.viii.2017. Editors in charge: Ulrike Aspöck & Klaus-Dieter Klass Abstract We revise the little known South American primitive Hepialidae genus Neotheora Kristensen, and describe two new species, N. meyi sp.n. and N.

  • Avances De Investigación En Recursos Genéticos En El Cono Sur Presentación
    AVANCES DE INVESTIGACIÓN EN RECURSOS GENÉTICOS EN EL CONO SUR PRESENTACIÓN El Programa Cooperativo para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Agroalimentario y Agroindustrial del Cono Sur – PROCISUR, creado en 1980 con el apoyo del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo – BID, constituye un esfuerzo conjunto de los Institutos Nacionales de Investigación Agropecuaria – INIAs de Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay y el Instituto Interamericano de Cooperación para la Agricultura – IICA. La preocupación por los recursos genéticos de la región ha estado presente desde la creación de PROCISUR utilizando a través de este tiempo distintos mecanismos para apoyar la cooperación regional. Actualmente cuenta con una organización en red (Red de Recursos Genéticos del Cono Sur- REGENSUR) en la que participan y articulan los principales actores e instituciones vinculadas a la conservación y utilización del material genético, constituyendo un capital de alto valor para el presente y futuro del desarrollo agrícola de la región. En ese contexto, PROCISUR ha estimulado y apoyado la realización de esta publicación sobre “Avances de Investigación en Recursos Genéticos de los Países del Cono Sur”. Esta segunda publicación de PROCISUR sobre investigación en recursos genéticos pretende recoger un conjunto de trabajos de investigación relevantes para la región abarcando los últimos 5 años, período en cierto modo coincidente desde la creación la red REGENSUR. Se seleccionaron un total de 20 contribuciones en Recursos Genéticos (12 de investigación y 8 comunicaciones) que representan el laborioso trabajo de 70 investigadores, principalmente provenientes de los Institutos de Investigación vinculados a PROCISUR, pero también a varias Universidades y otras organizaciones públicas y privadas de la región.
