The Musa genus comprises twenty-eight species where M. acuminata and M. balbisiana are the most important species for commercial purposes. However several diseases and pests affect the productivity and fruit quality generating considerable losses every year. Banana weevil complex species are one of the main responsible of such losses worldwide; nevertheless several attempts have been carried out to control banana weevil populations. Cosmopolites sordidus is the most frequent species reported worldwide and with more interest for population control. In the present study four banana weevil species (C. sordidus, Metamasius hemipterus, M. hebetatus, Polytus mellerborgii) were found associated to banana and plantain stands. Genetic analysis on banana weevil species, from mtDNA and nr DNA Loci, indicated a widespread of few haplotypes across 12 municipalities of Valle del Cauca, also a low number of alleles were found indicating a possible bottleneck mediated by human activities. Additionally a survey for entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) associated to plantain and banana stands was made, were Steinernematids and Heterorhabditids species were found, however molecular characterization indicates a low genetic diversity in EPN isolates. Two nuclear Loci (ITS and LSU) were sequenced and employed for species identification, indicating that from 14 isolates obtained, 10 of them belonged to Steinernema carpocapsae and four to Heterorhabditis spp. For the latter there was contrasting results when either ITS or LSU region was employed for species identification, nevertheless a concatenated analysis showed the presence of two species, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and Heterorhabditis sp. These indigenous EPN isolates could be promising for biological control of weevil banana complex species, since this isolates were found associated to plantain and banana stands and, together with the low genetic diversity found in weevil species, it is expected to develop strategies for pests management using EPN isolates obtained in the present study.

Abstract and Resumen Resumen El plátano y el banano son frutos comestibles cultivados en las regiones tropicales y subtropicales, presentan importancia como fuente de energía, nutrientes e ingresos económicos para muchas familias de países en desarrollo. El género Musa comprende 28 especies siendo M. acuminata y M. balbisiana las especies mas importantes para propósitos comerciales. Sin embargo diversas enfermedades y pestes afectan la productividad y calidad del fruto generando pérdidas considerables cada año. El complejo de especies del picudo del banano son uno de los principales responsables de tales pérdidas a nivel mundial. No obstante varios intentos se han llevado a cabo para controlar las poblaciones del picudo del banano. Cosmopolites sordidus es la especie mas frecuente reportada a nivel mundial y en la cual mayor interés se ha llevado a cabo para su control. En el presente estudio cuatro especies de picudo del banano (C. sordidus, Metamasius hemipterus, M. hebetatus, Polytus mellerborgii) se encontraron asociadas a cultivos de plátano y banano. Análisis genéticos en especies de picudos, a partir de Loci mitocondrial y nuclear, indicaron un amplia distribución de pocos haplotipos en 12 municipios evaluados en el Valle del Cauca, también un bajo numero de alelos fue identificado indicando un posible efecto cuello de botella mediado por las actividades humanas. Adicionalmente se realizaron evaluaciones para obtención de nematodos entomopatógenos (NEP) asociados a plantaciones de plátano y banano, donde se encontraron especies de Steinernematidos y Heterorhabditidos, sin embargo la caracterización molecular mostró baja diversidad genética en los aislamientos. Dos Loci nucleares (ITS y LSU) fueron secuenciados y empleados para la identificación de especies, indicando que a partir de 14 aislamientos obtenidos 10 pertenecieron a Steinernema carpocapsae y cuatro a Heterorhabditis spp. Para este último hubo resultados contrastantes respecto a las regiones ITS o LSU y la asignación de especies, no obstante un análisis concatenado mostró la presencia de dos especies, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora y Heterorhabditis sp. Estos asilamientos nativos podrían ser promisorios para el control biológico de las especies del complejo de picudos, ya que fueron hallados en plantaciones de plátano y banano y, junto a la baja diversidad genética identificada en las especies del complejo de picudos, se espera desarrollar estrategias para el control de pestes usando los aislamientos de NEP obtenidos en este estudio.

  • The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution
    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

Raya Aripan Km 8. Solok, 27301 Indonesia bPresent address: Indonesian Vegetable Research Institute. Jl. Tangkuban Perahu Lembang. Bandung, PO.Box 8413. Bandung 40391, Indonesia c Indonesian Center for Horticulture Research and Development, Jl. Raya Ragunan Pasar Minggu - Jakarta Selatan 12540, Indonesia Email: [email protected] Introduction General basis and protocol for classical biological control Biological control is defined as "the action of parasites (parasitoids), predators or pathogens in Maintaining another organism's population density at a lower average than would occur in their absence" (Debach 1964). Thus, biological control represents the combined effects of a natural enemy complex in suppressing pest populations. The concept of biological control arose from the observed differences in abundance of many animals and plants in their native range compared to areas in which they had been introduced in the absence of (co-evolved) natural enemies. As such, populations of introduced pests, unregulated by their natural enemies may freely multiply and rise to much higher levels than previously observed. Biological control is a component of natural control which describes environmental checks on pest buildup (Debach 1964). In agriculture, both the environment (i.e. farming systems) and natural enemies may be manipulated in an attempt to reduce pest pressure. Classical biological control concerns the search for natural enemies in a pest's area of origin, followed by quarantine and importation into locations where the pest has been introduced.

  • RHYNCHOPHORINAE of SOUTHEASTERN POLYNESIA1 2 (Coleoptera : Curculionidae)
    Pacific Insects 10 (1): 47-77 10 May 1968 RHYNCHOPHORINAE OF SOUTHEASTERN POLYNESIA1 2 (Coleoptera : Curculionidae) By Elwood C. Zimmerman BISHOP MUSEUM, HONOLULU Abstract: Ten species of Rhynchophorinae are recorded from southeastern Polynesia, including two new species of Dryophthorus from Rapa. Excepting the latter, all the spe­ cies have been introduced into the area and most are of economic importance. Keys to adults and larvae, notes on biologies, new distributional data and illustrations are pre­ sented. This is a combined Pacific Entomological Survey (1928-1933) and Mangarevan Expedi­ tion (1934) report. I had hoped to publish the account soon after my return from the 1934 expedition to southeastern Polynesia, but its preparation has been long delayed be­ cause of my pre-occupation with other duties. With the exception of two new endemic species of Dryophthorus, described herein, all of the Rhynchophorinae found in southeastern Polynesia (Polynesia south of Hawaii and east of Samoa; see fig. 1) have been introduced through the agencies of man. The most easterly locality where endemic typical rhynchophorids are known to occur in the mid- Pacific is Samoa where there are endemic species of Diathetes. (I consider the Dryoph- thorini and certain other groups to be atypical Rhynchophorinae). West of Samoa the subfamily becomes increasingly rich and diversified. There are multitudes of genera and species from Papua to India, and it is in the Indo-Pacific where the subfamily is most abundant. Figure 2 demonstrates the comparative faunistic developments of the typical rhynchophorids. I am indebted to the British Museum (Natural History) for allowing me extensive use of the unsurpassed facilities of the Entomology Department and libraries and to the Mu­ seum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, for use of the library.

Twenty-three species documented from the parkway are first records for the state. Of the nine capture methods used during the survey, Malaise traps were the most successful. 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. Sixteen species adventive to North America are documented from the parkway, including three species documented for the first time in the state. Range extensions are documented for two species. Images of five species new to Virginia are provided. Keywords: beetles, biodiversity, Malaise traps, national parks, new state records, Potomac Gorge. INTRODUCTION This study provides a preliminary list of the weevils of the superfamily Curculionoidea within the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP) national park site in northern Virginia.
