Pest Risk Analysis of Eucalyptus spp. for the Northern Australia Quarantine Stategy CSIRO, Entomology Pagel Contracted Report No. 44 Pest Risk Analysis of Eucalyptus spp. Introduction The purpose of this pest risk analysis (PRA) is to firstlyidentify quarantine pests and pathogens which pose a threat to Eucalyptus spp., which may enter Australia through its northern borders into the area covered by AQIS' Northern AustraliaQuarantine Strategy (NAQS) and secondly, to identify measures which could be taken by various agencies to reduce the risks of entry or to minimise the impact of such pests should they arrive. 1 The PRA was conducted as outlined in the FAO Standard "Guidelines forPest Risk Analysis" , and is one of a series of PRAs commissioned by NAQS. The other host plants covered in this series are sugar cane and citrus. Eucalyptus spp. are of great importance to Australia, both economically and environmentally and need to be protected fromincursions of exotic pests and pathogens. Over 700 species of Eucalyptus have been recognised and most are endemic to Australia. A few species occur on islands to the northof Australiaas extensions of their natural range in Australiawhile two species are endemic outside of Australia.E. deglupta occurs in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and the Philippines and E. urophylla is restricteci'to Timor and surrounding islands. In northern Australia, above 26°S latitude, more than280 species of Eucalyptus have been recognised and they forman important part of natural ecosystems in tropicalAustralia. In this report, species of Corymbia will also be considered as part of the target group of Eucalyptus spp. Eucalyptus spp. are of much greater economic importance in temperate Australia than in tropical regions, however, their economic value is still considerable. In Queensland there is 4.5M ha of State Forest of which 1.73M ha is native eucalypt forest.The royalties on eucalypt logs fromState Forests in 1996/97 amounted to $6.7M. This figure does not include thedownstream worth of theproduct to the Queensland economy. In addition Queensland has about 3,000 ha of eucalypt plantations and is adding to this area at an increasing rate. The NorthernTerritory has less than 100 ha of eucalypt plantations. -' Several species of Eucalyptus are being grown in plantations in the region immediately north of Australia. In Papua New Guinea there is 20,000 ha of eucalypt plantations mainly of E. deglupta and a small area of E. robusta. About 80,000 ha of eucalypts have been planted in various parts of Indonesia. In Malaysia, a total of about 8,000 ha have been -, planted, mainly of E. deglupta, E. grandis and E. urophylla. In the Philippines, about 10,000 ha of E. deglupta and _ __) E. camaldulensis have been planted. Other countriesin South East Asia with significantareas of eucalypt plantations are Thailand (195,000 ha) and Vietnam (350,000 ha) of which most is E. camaldulensis. --1 Bothnatural stands and plantations of eucalypts in South East Asia represent a potential source of pests and diseases - J thatcould affectthe natural and planted forestsof Eucalyptus spp. in Australia. ] TI � �·-]·� l -j'· : J - , i' ' International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures.

These countries were the main focus of this PRA (Table 1) but potential pests and diseases from other countries were considered in a secondary category, particularly where potential pathways existed for incursions through Australia'snorthern borders (Table 2). Thesurvey of informationfrom the countries of secondary importance is not exhaustive but has included some of the key sources of information.

Based on detailed examinations of museum specimens and high-resolution digital images, we have produced an illustrated key to 21 Pyrgomorphidae genera known from the Indian subcontinent. This new identification key will become a useful tool for increasing our knowledge on the taxonomy of grasshoppers in this important biogeographic region. Key words: dichotomous key, gaudy grasshoppers, taxonomy Introduction The Indian subcontinent is known to harbor a high level of insect biodiversity and endemism (Ghosh 1996), but is also one of the most poorly studied regions in terms of biodiversity discovery (Song 2010).

The new species belongs to the subgenus Nayaca Moore, 1879 and is similar to A. chiyo Dubatolov & Kishida, 2005 and A. imbuta (Walker, 1855). The female genitalia of A. chiyo and A. imbuta are illustrated for the first time. Key words: Arctiina, female genitalia, Nayaca, tiger moths. Introduction The tiger moth genus Alphaea belongs to the subtribe Arctiina and is distributed in Himalaya, southern China and northern Indochina. The genus was recently reviewed by Dubatolov & Kishida (2005), who included in it 10 valid species and one subspecies subdivided into three subgenera, Alphaea, Flavalphaea Dubatolov & Kishida, 2005 and Nayaca Moore, 1979.

  • Orthoptera Species Checklist of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve in the Zoological Reference Collection, Singapore
    Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 71(Suppl. 1):331-338. 2019 331 doi: 10.26492/gbs71(suppl.1).2019-13 Orthoptera species checklist of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve in the Zoological Reference Collection, Singapore M.K. Tan Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore, 14 Science Drive 4, 117543 Singapore [email protected] ABSTRACT. While work on Orthoptera in Singapore is not lacking, there is no species checklist for the species found within the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve (BTNR). Here, a checklist of orthopterans in the reserve is given based on specimens deposited in the Zoological Reference Collection of the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, Singapore. In total, 83 species, 30 from the suborder Caelifera (grasshoppers and relatives) and 53 from the suborder Ensifera (crickets, katydids, and relatives), are recorded from the reserve. Keywords. Crickets, diversity, grasshoppers, insects, katydids, richness Introduction There are more than 2000 species of grasshoppers, crickets, and katydids in Southeast Asia (Cigliano et al., 2018; Tan et al., 2017c). Collectively known as the Orthoptera, the grasshoppers belong to the monophyletic suborder Caelifera, whereas the crickets and katydids belong to the other monophyletic suborder Ensifera (Song et al., 2015). These insects include a very few species that are notorious pests (Willemse, 2001). However, owing to the richness in species and diversity of form, orthopterans provide more ecosystem services than might have been expected. They can function as potentially mutualistic pollinators (e.g., Tan & Tan, 2018), predators of other pest species, prey to charismatic species (e.g., Fung et al., 2018) and potential ecological indicators (e.g., Tan et al., 2017a).

  • The Potential of Arthropode Diversity for Ecotourism Development in Wonorejo Mangrove Ecosystem, Surabaya
    Proceeding The 1st IBSC: Towards The Extended Use Of Basic Science For Enhancing Health, Environment, Energy And Biotechnology 23 ISBN: 978-602-60569-5-5 The Potential of Arthropode Diversity for Ecotourism Development in Wonorejo Mangrove Ecosystem, Surabaya Nova Maulidina Ashuri1, Abdul Azis1, Noor Nailis Sa’adah1 1 Biology Department, FMIPA, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, Surabaya, Indonesia [email protected] Abstract— Mangrove ecosystems all along coastal area has a lot of benefits, such as home for coastal animals (fishes and insects) and acting as coastal line protector. One of the biggest mangrove ecosystem in Surabaya is Wonorejo, which now not only act as mangrove preservation but also becoming one of eco-tourism destination in East Java. Tourists are usually come to take photos, fishing, enjoying the birds chirping and the ambience of mangrove forest. Beside that, Wonorejo also becoming one of research object for mangrove ecosystem in East Java. Several research has been done, such as research to examine mangorve diversity, birds, fishes and crabs. One of the research that hasn’t been done is about Arthropods, especially in the class of Insects and Arachnids. In this paper, the potentiality of Arthropods diversity all along Wonorejo Ecotourism Area will be examined and researched. The results will be used as alternative in order to develop educational function in this area. Tourists will not only be enjoying the ambience and take photos, but also they will have educational experience when visiting Wonorejo. Arthropode samples from several Ordos, such as Diptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Odonata, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera and Araneae have taken on June 2016 in Wonorejo Ecotourism Area using sweepnet and hands collecting methods.
