View Additional Information PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET APHID CONTROL: Micromus varietgatus, BROWN LACEWING Product: 50 or 100 adults per bottle. This Brown Lacewing is an exceptional predator. It was first collected during a survey of greenhouse peppers, looking for Foxglove Aphid Parasitoids. During the survey, this species was frequently associated with active Foxglove Aphid colonies. Unlike most Green Lacewings, Brown Lacewings are predator at all mobile stages of their lifecycle; in fact, it is the adult that does most of the predation, usually at night. Its eggs are laid low in the plant, providing excellent low level control, which is rare. Adults are 8 mm in length with several dark brown markings on wings. Target: Their range of prey is equally impressive, aggressively consuming any of the sucking insects such as Aphids, Whitefly, Mealybug etc. They appear to find prey by smell. Has been seen feeding on: Foxglove Aphid, Aulacorthum solani, Pea Aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum Release: 50 to 100 in hot spot upon arrival. These insect can not be stored and need to be released immediately. Rate: 50 to 100 in hot spot Temperature: They can complete their lifecycle in temperatures as low as 40C making it an excellent predator in ornamentals during the winter. Notes: -Brown Lacewing should be used in conjunction with other biological controls. -It was recorded for the first time from North America in 1988, from Galiano Island, on the coast of southwestern British Columbia. The present records confirm the occurrence of this species in eastern Canada. -Micromus variegatus is a living relative of the Jurassic Lacewing Leptolingia. Both are in the order Neuroptera. Micromus variegatus is a member of the suborder Hemerobiiformia, the superfamily Hemerobioidea, and the family Hemerobiidae. Leptolingia is in the extinct family Grammolingiidae. Micromus variegatus is widely distributed. It is quite common in Europe and Asia. This lacewing has also been seen in Canada.

Aphid preventative program, use Aphidoletes aphidimyza. You should release 250 Aphidoletes per 5500 ft2/500m2 every week. If the aphid population begins to rise, we can introduce other beneficials depending on the aphid species. Bug Bites: Tips on Aphid Control To improve the cool season performance of Aphidoletes, the addition of LED Christmas light (green range) will significantly increase the effectiveness. With these lights, Aphidoletes are able to control Green Peach aphids and then move on to other species like Foxglove.

  • Soybean Mosaic Virus
    -- CALIFORNIA D EP AUM ENT OF cdfa FOOD & AGRICULTURE ~ California Pest Rating Proposal for Soybean mosaic virus Current Pest Rating: none Proposed Pest Rating: C Kingdom: Orthornavirae; Phylum: Pisuviricota Class: Stelpaviricetes; Order: Patatavirales Family: Potyviridae; Genus: Potyvirus Comment Period: 6/15/2020 through 7/30/2020 Initiating Event: On August 9, 2019, USDA-APHIS published a list of “Native and Naturalized Plant Pests Permitted by Regulation”. Interstate movement of these plant pests is no longer federally regulated within the 48 contiguous United States. There are 49 plant pathogens (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and nematodes) on this list. California may choose to continue to regulate movement of some or all these pathogens into and within the state. In order to assess the needs and potential requirements to issue a state permit, a formal risk analysis for Soybean mosaic virus is given herein and a permanent pest rating is proposed. History & Status: Background: The family Potyviridae contains six genera and members are notable for forming cylindrical inclusion bodies in infected cells that can be seen with light microscopy. Of the six genera, the genus Potyvirus contains by far the highest number of important plant pathogens Named after Potato virus Y, “pot-y-virus” particles are flexuous and filamentous and composed of ssRNA and a protein coat. Most diseases caused by potyviruses appear primarily as mosaics, mottling, chlorotic rings, or color break on foliage, flowers, fruits, and stems. Many cause severe stunting of young plants and drastically reduced yields with leaf, fruit, and stem malformations, fruit drop, and necrosis (Agrios, 2005). Soybean is one of the most important sources of edible oil and proteins for people and animals, and a source of biofuel.

KHRAMOV Paleontological institute of the Russian Academy of Science, Profsouznaya str. 123, 117997, Moscow, Russia. [email protected] Abstract A new genus and three new species of the family Grammolingiidae are described: Protolingia mira gen. et sp. nov. and Litholingia longa sp. nov. from the Sai-Sagul locality (Kyrgyzstan, upper Lower Jurassic–lower Middle Jurassic) and Lep- tolingia oblonga sp. nov. from the Houtiyn-Hotgor locality (Mongolia, Upper Jurassic). Grammolingiidae are recorded from the Karatau locality (Kazakhstan, Upper Jurassic). This fossil lacewing family occurred in the South of Central Asia and in East Asia during the Middle and Upper Jurassic; its distribution was limited by Mongol-Okhotsk and Turgai seas. Grammolingiidae from Sai-Sagul is the oldest record of this family. They demonstrate unusual characteristics for the fam- ily, such as the pectinate CuP and the distal fusion of Sc and R1. Key words: Neuroptera, Grammolingiidae, Jurassic, Mongol-Okhotsk sea Introduction Grammolingiidae is an extinct Jurassic family of Neuroptera, which currently includes four genera and fourteen species. Thirteen species came from the Middle Jurassic Daohugou locality, China, Inner Mongolia (Ren 2002; Shi et al. 2011; Liu et al. 2011; Shi et al. 2012), and only one was found outside Daohugou, in the Upper Jurassic Shar- Teg locality, Mongolia (Khramov 2010).

Received: 13 May 2020; Accepted: 15 July 2020; Published: date Abstract: Potyviruses are the largest group of plant infecting RNA viruses that cause significant losses in a wide range of crops across the globe. The majority of viruses in the genus Potyvirus are transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent, non-circulative manner and have been extensively studied vis-à-vis their structure, taxonomy, evolution, diagnosis, transmission and molecular interactions with hosts. This comprehensive review exclusively discusses potyviruses and their transmission by aphid vectors, specifically in the light of several virus, aphid and plant factors, and how their interplay influences potyviral binding in aphids, aphid behavior and fitness, host plant biochemistry, virus epidemics, and transmission bottlenecks. We present the heatmap of the global distribution of potyvirus species, variation in the potyviral coat protein gene, and top aphid vectors of potyviruses. Lastly, we examine how the fundamental understanding of these multi-partite interactions through multi-omics approaches is already contributing to, and can have future implications for, devising effective and sustainable management strategies against aphid- transmitted potyviruses to global agriculture.

  • Parasitoids Induce Production of the Dispersal Morph of the Pea Aphid, Acyrthosiphon Pisum
    OIKOS 98: 323–333, 2002 Parasitoids induce production of the dispersal morph of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum John J. Sloggett and Wolfgang W. Weisser Sloggett, J. J. and Weisser, W. W. 2002. Parasitoids induce production of the dispersal morph of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum. – Oikos 98: 323–333. In animals, inducible morphological defences against natural enemies mostly involve structures that are protective or make the individual invulnerable to future attack. In the majority of such examples, predators are the selecting agent while examples involving parasites are much less common. Aphids produce a winged dispersal morph under adverse conditions, such as crowding or poor plant quality. It has recently been demonstrated that pea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum, also produce winged offspring when exposed to predatory ladybirds, the first example of an enemy-in- duced morphological change facilitating dispersal. We examined the response of A. pisum to another important natural enemy, the parasitoid Aphidius er6i, in two sets of experiments. In the first set of experiments, two aphid clones both produced the highest proportion of winged offspring when exposed as colonies on plants to parasitoid females. In all cases, aphids exposed to male parasitoids produced a higher mean proportion of winged offspring than controls, but not significantly so. Aphid disturbance by parasitoids was greatest in female treatments, much less in male treatments and least in controls, tending to match the pattern of winged offspring production. In a second set of experiments, directly parasitised aphids produced no greater proportion of winged offspring than unparasitised controls, thus being parasitised itself is not used by aphids for induction of the winged morph.

The total of 8.7 million seems to be an underestimate, because for Animalia alone, over 1.5 million species have been described (Zhang 2011b). The most successful group, the Insecta, accounts for almost two-thirds of all animals. Zootaxa has been a major force in facilitating the descriptions of undiscovered animal species in the world—publishing about 20% of all new species indexed in Zoological Record each year (Zhang 2011a). In the first week since the publication of the ICZN amendment allowing e-only publication (ICZN 2012), Zootaxa has published 484 new taxa.

P. LYKOURESSIS and CH. P. POLATSIDIS Laboratory of Agricultural Zoology and Entomology, Agricultural University of Athens, 75 lera Odos, GR 118 55 Athens, Greece ABSTRACT Acyrthosiphonpisum (Harris) and Therioaphis trifolii (Monell) were the most abun­ dant aphid species on lucerne at Kopais, Co. Boiotia in central Greece from April 1984 to November 1986. Population fluctuations for A. pisum showed two peaks, the first during April-May and the second in November. Low numbers or zero were found during summer and till mid October as well as during winter and March. The abundance of this species during the year agrees generally with the effects of pre­ vailing temperatures in the region on aphid development and reproduction. T. tri­ fola also showed two population peaks but at different periods. The first occurred in July and the second from mid September to mid October. The first peak was higher than the second. The sharp decline in population densities that occurred in early August and lasted till mid September is not accounted for by adverse climatic conditions, but natural enemies and/or other limiting factors are possibly respon­ sible for that population reduction. Numbers were zero from December till March. while they kept at low levels during the rest of spring and part of June as well as from mid October till the end of November. Introduction species occurring quite frequently on lucerne in Several aphid species are known to attack temperate regions.

  • Proposal to Sequence the Genome of the Pea Aphid (Acyrthosiphon Pisum)
    Proposal To Sequence the Genome of the Pea Aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) The International Aphid Genomics Consortium (IAGC) Steering Committee (in alphabetical order): Marina Caillauda, Owain Edwardsb, Linda Fieldc, Danièle Giblot- Ducrayd, Stewart Graye, David Hawthornef, Wayne Hunterg, Georg Janderh, Nancy Morani, Andres Moyaj, Atsushi Nakabachik, Hugh Robertsonl, Kevin Shufranm, Jean- Christophe Simond, David Sternn, Denis Tagud Contact: D. Stern; Ph. 609-258-0759; FAX 609-258-7892; [email protected] Abstract We propose sequencing of the 300Mb nuclear genome of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum. Aphids display a diversity of biological problems that are not easily studied in other genetic model systems. First, because they are the premier model for the study of bacterial endosymbiosis and because they vector many well-studied plant viruses, aphids are an excellent model for studying animal interactions with microbes. Second, because their normal life cycle displays extreme developmental plasticity as well as both clonal and sexual reproduction, aphids provide the opportunity to understand the basis of phenotypic plasticity as well as the genomic consequences of sexual versus asexual reproduction. Their alternative reproductive modes can also be exploited in genetic experiments, because clones can be maintained indefinitely in the laboratory with sexual generations induced at will1,2. Third, aphids provide some of the best studied instances of adaptation, in the form of both insecticide resistance, which has evolved through several molecular mechanisms, and host plant adaptation, which has repeatedly generated novel aphid lineages specialized to particular crop plant cultivars and which is presumably the basis for the radiation of aphids onto many specialized host plants during their long evolutionary history.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of the family Grammolingiidae (Neuroptera) (Leptolingia imminuta sp. nov.) is described from Daohugou village (Middle Jurassic), Inner Mongolia, China. In this new species, MA forks at the same level as the separation of Rs2 from Rs, close to the middle of forewing, this structure of MA is peculiar in Grammolingiidae and is different from that of all other known species. Moreover, this new species is the smallest species known in the family Grammolingiidae (30 mm wing span). Key words: Leptolingia, Jiulongshan Formation, new species, Daohugou Introduction Grammolingiidae Ren, 2002 is a small family of Jurassic Neuroptera found in Central and East Asia. Three genera and nine species were described previously in this family. Among them, eight species were found in the Middle Jurassic deposits of Daohugou Village, Inner Mongolia, China (Ren 2002, Shi et al. 2011); only one species (Lep- tolingia shartegica Khramov, 2010) has been found in the Late Jurassic deposits of Sharteg, Mongolia (Khramov 2010). Leptolingia was erected by Ren (2002) who described two species; Shi et al. (2011) revised this genus, iden- tifying definitive generic characters and added a new species, L.

E-mail: [email protected] The order Neuroptera is known in the fossil record since the Early Permian (about 280 to 260 Ma) and it thrives ever since. The neuropterans occur relatively rare in the pre-Mesozoic localities. The order was most diverse in the Mesozoic. Most of the extinct and extant groups have been present at this time. Many families, genera and species of the Chinese neuropteran fossils have been published since the order was first reported by Ping Chi in 1928. Up to now, 20 families have been recorded from the Mesozoic of China, and 58 genera and 97 species have been described from this era. We mainly study the fossils materials from two localities of northeast China: the Middle Jurassic Daohugou (Jiulongshan Formation) in Inner Mongolia, and the Early Eocene Huangbanjigou (Yixian Formation) in Liaoning Province. The Daohugou beds contain a diverse insect fauna, with 19 insect orders being represented. We have examined approximately 4000 Neuroptera specimens which are housed in the Capital Normal University. Hitherto, only 58 species (29 genera) belonging to 11 families were described. Osmylidae are most abundant and diverse among neuropterans in the assemblage.
