Host Plant List of the Whiteflies (Aleyrodidae) of the World Version 070611 June 11, 2007 HOST PLANT LIST OF THE WHITEFLIES (ALEYRODIDAE) OF THE WORLD GREGORY A. EVANS USDA/Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) The following host plant list was extracted from the Whitefly Taxonomic and Ecological database and edited to make it more readable. I listed the host plants alphabetically by genus with the plant family in brackets after the name. I listed the whiteflies that have been recorded from the plant host under each species with the country where the collection was made in brackets. The records include published records of whiteflies and their hosts from articles on whiteflies, what has been recorded in the parasitoid literature, unpublished records of specimens identified by Avas Hamon in the FSCA (Florida State Collection of Arthropods, Gainesville, FL, USA) collection and unpublished records of whiteflies intercepted at U.S. Ports of Entry. I decided to include the latter records because they indicate the likely host plant and country of origin of the species, although the actual presence of these species on these hosts in these countries should be confirmed by collections made on these host plants within the country. I thank Peter Touhey (USDA/APHIS) for extracting these records for me from the USDA/APHIS database. Most of the records from the U.S. ports of entry come from specimens identified by John W. Dooley (USDA/APHIS) or Steve Nakahara (USDA/ARS/SEL). Note that many of the host plant records for Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes vaporariorum are not included. These two species are highly polyphagous, it would not be surprising to find these species on almost any terrestrial plant. 2 Abelmochlus esculentus (L.)

EENY-170 Ladybirds, Ladybird beetles, Lady Beetles, Ladybugs of Florida, Coleoptera: Coccinellidae1 J. H. Frank R. F. Mizell, III2 Introduction Ladybird is a name that has been used in England for more than 600 years for the European beetle Coccinella septempunctata. As knowledge about insects increased, the name became extended to all its relatives, members of the beetle family Coccinellidae. Of course these insects are not birds, but butterflies are not flies, nor are dragonflies, stoneflies, mayflies, and fireflies, which all are true common names in folklore, not invented names. The lady for whom they were named was "the Virgin Mary," and common names in other European languages have the same association (the German name Marienkafer translates Figure 1. Adult Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus, the to "Marybeetle" or ladybeetle). Prose and poetry sevenspotted lady beetle.

Coccinella septempunctata. We can but hope that newspaper writers will desist from generalizing them In the USA, the name ladybird was popularly all as "the ladybird" and thus deluding the public into americanized to ladybug, although these insects are believing that there is only one species. There are beetles (Coleoptera), not bugs (Hemiptera). many species of ladybirds, just as there are of birds, and the word "variety" (frequently use by newspaper 1.

  • Dwarf-Cashew Resistance to Whitefly (Aleurodicus Cocois) Linked To
    Research Article Received: 12 February 2019 Revised: 14 June 2019 Accepted article published: 25 June 2019 Published online in Wiley Online Library: 27 July 2019 (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI 10.1002/ps.5531 Dwarf-cashew resistance to whitefly (Aleurodicus cocois) linked to morphological and histochemical characteristics of leaves Elaine SS Goiana,a Nivia S Dias-Pini,a* Celli R Muniz,a Arlete A Soares,b James C Alves,b Francisco C Vidal-Netoa and Cherre S Bezerra Da Silvac Abstract BACKGROUND: The cashew whitefly (CW), Aleurodicus cocois, is an important pest of cashew in Brazil. The use of resistant plants may be an effective strategy for the control of this pest. In a preliminary assay, we found that dwarf-cashew clones show different levels of resistance to CW. Here, we hypothesized that such resistance is associated with morphological characteristics of cashew leaves and their content of phenolic compounds. RESULTS: We determined (i) the attractiveness and suitability for oviposition of five dwarf-cashew clones towards CW, (ii) the leaf morphology and chemistry of those clones, and (iii) the relationship between leaf characteristics and resistance to CW. In greenhouse multiple-choice assays, PRO143/7 and CCP76 showed, respectively, the lowest and highest counts of both CW adults and eggs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that PRO143/7 and EMBRAPA51 have, respectively, the highest and lowest numbers of leaf glandular trichomes. We found a negative correlation between number of trichomes in the abaxial surface of cashew leaves and CW oviposition. In addition, confocal microscopy analysis and histochemical tests with ferrous sulfate indicated a higher accumulation of phenolic compounds in the resistant clone PRO143/7 relative to the other clones.

  • Biology and Pest Management of Spiraling Whitefly
    DEPARTMENT OF PRIMARY INDUSTRY AND RESOURCES Biology and pest management of spiraling whitefly Deanna Chin1, Haidee Brown1, Lanni Zhang, Michael Neal1, Brian Thistleton1 and Stuart Smith2 Entomology, Plant Industries1, Biosecurity and Product Integrity2 Background and distribution Spiraling whitefly, Aleurodicus dispersus is native to the Caribbean region and Central America. The pest is also found in the USA (southern Florida), West Indies, South America, Africa, the Canary Islands, Hawaii, Samoa, the Maldives, Cook Islands, Fiji, Guam, Micronesia, Nauru, Taiwan, India, Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea, South East Asia and Torres Strait. In Australia, the pest is established in coastal Queensland from Mackay to Cape York was first detected in Darwin in March 2006. Spiraling whitefly has now been recorded from many localities in Darwin, Palmerston, Darwin rural including, Howard Springs, Virginia, Bees Creek, Noonamah, Humpty Doo, Girraween, Berry Springs, Wagait Beach (Cox Peninsula), Adelaide River, Batchelor, Pine Creek, Jabiru and Katherine. It has not been detected from Nhulunbuy or Alice Springs. Appearance Spiraling whitefly is a small sap sucking insect which is related to mealybugs and aphids. To the naked eye, the adults look like a very small moth and have a body length of about 2 mm. The wings of the adults are plain white or occasionally have pale or dark spots on the forewings. Eggs are elliptical and yellow to tan in colour, 0.3 mm long and are laid singly at right angles to the leaf veins and associated with irregularly spiraling deposits of white flocculent wax. This spiraling effect is usually on the undersides of leaves but in heavy infestations the spirals may also be seen on the upper surface of leaves as well as fruit and non plant material.

  • Plants of Southeastern Polynesia. 3
    Plants of Southeastern Polynesia. 3. F. R. FoSBERG1 and M.-H. SACHET1 Abstract In this paper are presented critical notes and records of species of Ophioglossum (Ophi­ oglossaceae), Waltheria (Sterculiaceae), Alyxia (Apocynaceae) and Morinda (Rubiaceae), a new varietal combination and two new varieties in Alyxia stellata, and a discussion of the generic separation of Ochrosia and Neiosperma (Apocynaceae). Ophioglossum pendulum var. falcatum (Presl) Fosberg, 0cc. Pap. Bishop Mus. 23 :29, 1962. 0. pendulum L. f. var. pendulum is common at low and moderate elevations in Tahiti. A collection from 1100 m elevation, south of Orohena, MacDaniels 1533 (US) is perfectly typical var. falcatum, apparently the first record of this variety from the Society Islands and from southern Polynesia. It is by far the commoner form in the Hawaiian Islands. The typical form, var. pendulum, with long pendant sterile parts of the fronds is common in Tahiti but very rare in Hawaii. Waltheria tomentosa (J. R. & G. Forst.) St. John, Nat. Can. 98:573, 1971.2 Lophanthus tomentosus J. R. & G. Forst., Char. Gen. 14, 1775; 28, pl. 14, 1776. Waltheria lophanthus Forst. f., Prodr. 47, 1786. It is surprising that no one had made this transfer. Of course, the application of the " Kew Rule" would have made it inappropriate prior to the formulation of the modern International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature at the Vienna Congress in 1905. However, there seems to be no reason for not now taking up the oldest available epithet for this plant. This species is still to be found on the dry sides of most of the Marquesas and on the smaller, low dry islands of the group.

McPhee Parks Victoria Ranger Danielle Southon examining a native pine damaged by rabbit Rabbits and Native Plant Biodiversity A report complied for Australian Wool Innovation and Meat and Livestock Australia as part of the Invasive Animals Co-operative Research Centre Project 7.T. 6 - Biodiversity Impact of Rabbits August 2007 B.D. Cooke1 and S. McPhee2 1Invasive Animals Co-operative Research Centre, University of Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia 2Department of Primary Industries, 600 Sneydes Road, Werribee, Victoria 3030, Australia Executive Summary A literature review of the impact of rabbits on Australian vegetation and ecosystems highlighted the effects of rabbits on a wide range of native trees and shrubs. By removing seedlings and promoting weeds rabbits are a significant factor contributing to native vegetation decline and biodiversity loss. Despite rabbits having been kept low for some years by Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease, a survey of remnant vegetation at 220 sites adjacent to farmlands in south-eastern Australia indicated that rabbits were present in 54% of sites visited and were causing noticeable vegetation damage in 26% of sites (i.e. about half the infested sites). Rabbits are more widespread in south-eastern South Australia, western Victoria and Tasmania than in eastern Victoria, New South Wales and south-east Queensland. A major result from this survey is that low numbers of rabbits (1 - 2/ha) are capable of removing all seedlings of the more palatable native tree and shrubs and exacerbating weed competition with native flora. However, most land managers are not aware that a problem exists except where acute rabbit damage is observed.

    SAARC J. Agri., 15(2): 207-214 (2017) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/sja.v15i2.35165 Short Communication REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF SPIRALLING WHITEFLY ON GUAVA AND IMPACT OF WEATHER PARAMETERS ON ITS IMMATURE STAGES I. Hossain, M.M.H. Khan* and S.M.H. Jahan Department of Entomology, Patuakhali Science and Technology University Dumki, Patuakhali-8602, Bangladesh ABSTRACT The study was conducted to know the reproductive performance of spiralling whitefly on guava. Number of colony, eggs, 1st instar, 2nd instar, 3rd instar and 4th instar nymphs per five leaves ranged from 6 to 15, 8 to 32, 0 to 44, 0 to 22, 0 to 45 and 0 to 28, respectively. Maximum number of adults and nymphs were found in the month of January. Highest longevity of Aleurodicus dispersus (21.5 days) was recorded in adult while the lowest was in 2nd instar nymph (6.4 days). The number of colony/leaf and number of 3rd and 4th instar nymphs of A. dispersus had significant positive correlation with minimum and maximum temperature while non-significant positive correlation is observed between the number of egg/colony, the number 1st and 2nd instar nymphs with minimum and maximum temperature. A. dispersus showed non- significant positive correlation with minimum and maximum relative humidity regarding number of colony/leaf, 2nd instar nymph while non- significant negative correlation with 4th instar nymph. Key words: Aleurodicus dispersus, reproductive performance, life span, weather parameters INTRODUCTION Guava is grown in all the districts of Bangladesh and in many other Asian countries. The major areas of guava cultivation are the Gazipur, Barisal and Jessore districts of Bangladesh where successful production is achieved.

Photo 1. Spirals of eggs and wax, made by the Hosts spiralling whitefly, Aleurodicus dispersus. Spiralling whitefly has a very wide host range, including banana, cassava, citrus, papaya, mango, custard apple, guava, taro, tomato, capsicum, eggplant and also many ornamental species, shade trees and weeds. The adult makes distinctive spiralling patterns when laying eggs on the under surface of leaves or on fruits; this gives the insect its name. Symptoms & Life Cycle Damage is caused by the whitefly piercing the leaf and sucking the sap; this leads to early death when whitefly numbers are high. Damage is also caused by build-up of sooty mould (see Fact Sheet no. 51). Sooty moulds (fungi) grow on the honeydew produced by the whiteflies and their nymphs as they feed. The mould weakens the leaves, as they cannot get sufficient sunlight for normal growth. The eggs are smooth, yellow to tan, oval, 0.3 mm long. They are laid in a spiral pattern within a trail of white wax (Photos 1-3). The eggs hatch after 7-10 days. Photo 2.
