Pešić: 30 August 2020 │ Published online: 7 September 2020. The Shantar Islands are located in the western part of the Sea of Okhotsk, near the eastern coast of Eurasia. They are administratively included in the Tuguro-Chumikansky district of Khabarovsk Krai of Russia. The archipelago consists of 15 large and small islands, the largest of which is the Bоlshoy Shantar.The total area of the islands is 550 thousand hectares. The entire archipelago has the status of the National Park. The islands are dominated by mountainous relief with river valleys. Heights are up to 721 m. The climate is temperate monsoon with excessive summer moisture. Strong northwest winds prevail, they delay the phenological cycles of biota by 1-1,5 months in comparison with the nearest mainland areas. The boreal component of the middle taiga subzone dominates in the flora of the archipelago. Nemoral flora is represented by single species in phytocenoses of deep valleys of the large islands (Nechaev, 1955). There are two altitudinal vegetation belts in the Shantar Islands – mountain taiga belt and subalpine altitudinal belt (mountain tundra occupies 2% of the territory). -

Simple Summary: The small hive beetle is a destructive pest of honeybees, causing severe economic damage to the apiculture industry. Chemosensory genes play key roles in insect behavior, such as foraging and mating partners. However, the chemosensory genes are lacking in the small hive beetle. In order to better understand its chemosensory process at the molecular level, a total of 130 chemosensory genes, including 38 odorant receptors, 24 ionotropic receptors, 14 gustatory receptors, 3 sensory neuron membrane proteins, 29 odorant binding proteins, and 22 chemosensory proteins were identified from the transcriptomic data of antennae and forelegs. Reverse-transcription PCR showed that 3 OBPs (AtumOBP3, 26 and 28) and 3 CSPs (AtumCSP7, 8 and 21) were highly expressed in antennae. Overall, this study could provide a basis for elucidating functions of these chemosensory genes at the molecular level. -

Приведен аннотированный список 177 видов надсемейства Cerambycoidae, отмеченных в Уссурийском заповеднике и сопредельных территориях. Представлены сведения о распространении редких видов (Callipogon relictus и Rosalia coelestis) на территории заповедника. Beetles of the superfamily Cerambyсoidae are among the best-studied insect groups. The superfamily currently consists of 4 families: Disteniidae Thomson, 1860, Cerambycidae Latreille, 1802, Oxypeltidae Lacordaire, 1869, and Vesperidae Mulsant, 1839. The increased interest in these insects is mostly due to their unique appearance and size. The fauna of longicorn beetles of the Russian Far East started to be actively studied in the 1920s, after the researchers of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences had visited the southern part of this region and obtained a large sample collection. The first paper by T.P. Samoilov (1936) was based on the results of this and the previously made collection and focused on the faunistic-ecological characterization of the fauna of longicorn beetles of the southern Primorskii krai. -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Cerchysiella mesosae Yang sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Encyrtidae), is described from China. It is a gregarious koinobiont endoparasitoid in mature larvae of Mesosa myops (Dalman) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), a wood boring pest of many broad-leaved tree species in China, particularly Quercus mongolica and Q. liaotungensis (Fagaceae) in forest areas of northeastern China. The new species is one of the principal natural enemies of the wood borer and it may have potential as a biological control agent for suppression of the pest. Key words: new species, endoparasitoid, longhorn beetle, oak trees Introduction The longhorn beetle, Mesosa myops (Dalman) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), is widely distributed in northeastern Asia, including the Far East of Russia, Korea, Japan and China (Chen et al. 1959; Yu 1992) where it has been reported from nine provinces from northern to southern China (Yu 1992). It attacks many broad-leaved tree species in China, including Fraxinus mandshurica, Juglans mandshurica, Salix spp., Populus spp., Ulmus pumila, U. -
Reproductive Behaviors of Anoplophora Glabripennis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in the Laboratory

A. Keena1,2 and V Sánchez1 1Northern Research Station, Northeastern Center for Forest Health Research, USDA Forest Service, Hamden, CT 06514, and 2Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Subject Editor: Timothy Schowalter Received 30 August 2017; Editorial decision 20 November 2017 Abstract The reproductive behaviors of individual pairs of Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)—all combinations of three populations and three different ages—were observed in glass jars in the laboratory on Acer saccharum Marshall (Sapindales: Sapindaceae) host material. The virgin female occasionally made first contact, but mounting did not occur until the male antennated or palpated the female. If the female was receptive (older females initially less receptive than younger ones), the male mated with her immediately after mounting and initiated a prolonged pair-bond. When the female was not receptive, some males abandoned the attempt while most performed a short antennal wagging behavior. During the pair-bond, the male continuously grasped the female’s elytral margins with his prothoracic tarsi or both pro- and mesothoracic tarsi. The male copulated in a series of three to four bouts (averaging three to five copulations each) during which the female chewed oviposition sites or walked on the host. Between bouts, the female oviposited and fertile eggs were deposited as soon as 43 min after the first copulation. Females became unreceptive again after copulation and the duration of the pair-bond depended on the male’s ability to remain mounted. -

Invertebrate Assemblages on Biscogniauxia Sporocarps on Oak Dead Wood: an Observation Aided by Squirrels
Article Invertebrate Assemblages on Biscogniauxia Sporocarps on Oak Dead Wood: An Observation Aided by Squirrels Yu Fukasawa Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Tohoku University, 232-3 Yomogida, Naruko, Osaki, Miyagi 989-6711, Japan; [email protected]; Tel.: +81-229-847-397; Fax: +81-229-846-490 Abstract: Dead wood is an important habitat for both fungi and insects, two enormously diverse groups that contribute to forest biodiversity. Unlike the myriad of studies on fungus–insect rela- tionships, insect communities on ascomycete sporocarps are less explored, particularly for those in hidden habitats such as underneath bark. Here, I present my observations of insect community dynamics on Biscogniauxia spp. on oak dead wood from the early anamorphic stage to matured teleomorph stage, aided by the debarking behaviour of squirrels probably targeting on these fungi. In total, 38 insect taxa were observed on Biscogniauxia spp. from March to November. The com- munity composition was significantly correlated with the presence/absence of Biscogniauxia spp. Additionally, Librodor (Glischrochilus) ipsoides, Laemophloeus submonilis, and Neuroctenus castaneus were frequently recorded and closely associated with Biscogniauxia spp. along its change from anamorph to teleomorph. L. submonilis was positively associated with both the anamorph and teleomorph stages. L. ipsoides and N. castaneus were positively associated with only the teleomorph but not with the anamorph stage. N. castaneus reproduced and was found on Biscogniauxia spp. from June to November. These results suggest that sporocarps of Biscogniauxia spp. are important to these insect taxa, depending on their developmental stage. Citation: Fukasawa, Y.
