The Metathoracic Scent Gland of the Leaf-Footed Bug, Leptoglossus Zonatus
Journal of Insect Science: Vol. 13 | Article 149 Gonzaga-Segura et al. The metathoracic scent gland of the leaf-footed bug, Leptoglossus zonatus J. Gonzaga-Segura1a, J. Valdez-Carrasco2b, V. R.

Car- retera México-Texcoco km 36.5, Montecillo, Texcoco, Estado de México, C.P. 56230 Abstract The metathoracic scent gland of 25-day-old adults of both sexes of the leaf-footed bug, Leptoglossus zonatus (Dallas) (Heteroptera: Coreidae), are described based on optical microscopy analysis. No sexual dimorphism was observed in the glandular composition of this species. The gland is located in the anteroventral corner of the metathoracic pleura between the middle and posterior coxal pits. The opening to the outside of the gland is very wide and permanently open as it lacks a protective membrane. In the internal part, there is a pair of metathoracic glands that consist of piles of intertwined and occasionally bifurcated cellular tubes or columns. These glands discharge their pheromonal contents into the reservoir through a narrow cuticular tube. The reservoir connects with the vestibule via two opposite and assembled cuticular folds that can separate muscularly in order to allow the flow of liquid away from the insect. The external part consists of an ostiole from which the pheromone is emitted. -

Natural Heritage Assessment of the Uncompahgre River Basin
The Uncompahgre River Basin A Natural Heritage Assessment Volume I Prepared for Valley Land Conservancy Montrose, Colorado March, 1999 By Peggy Lyon, Tom Stephens, Jeremy Siemers, Denise Culver, Phyllis Pineda, and Jennifer Zoerner Colorado Natural Heritage Program 254 General Services Building, CSU Ft. Collins, CO 80523 User’s Guide The Uncompahgre Basin Biological Assessment conducted by the Colorado Natural Heritage Program consists of two essentially distinct projects that are highly integrated with respect to methodology and fieldwork. This report reflects the separate nature of the projects by being organized in a two-volume set. Volume I presents all potential conservation sites that have been identified in the Uncompahgre Basin that support rare and imperiled plants, animals, and significant plant communities, including wetland and riparian areas. Volume II focuses exclusively on wetland and riparian areas. Volume II also presents “locally significant areas.” These are sites that are among the most important wetlands in the Uncompahgre Basin, but they are not unique from a national or statewide perspective, and therefore these sites did not receive a Biodiversity Rank. Additionally, Volume II presents an assessment of the wetland functions performed by each site that was surveyed. These functional assessments are intended to provide the user with a more complete picture of the value wetlands and riparian areas provide to Uncompahgre Basin residents. Both projects utilized the same Natural Heritage Methodology that is used throughout North America, and both searched for and assessed the plants, animals, and plant communities on the Colorado Natural Heritage Program’s List of rare and imperiled elements of biodiversity. -

Western Leaffooted Bug Leptoglossus Zonatus (Dallas) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Coreidae) 2 Hidden but Consequently Renders the Fruit Unpalatable
EENY-517 Western Leaffooted BugLeptoglossus zonatus (Dallas) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Coreidae)1 Amelio A. Chi and Russell F.

Leptoglossus zonatus is a prevalent polyphagous siana, and Texas (Buss et al. 2011). In addition, its range minor pest of various field, vegetable and fruit crops in the extends south through Mexico and Central America into Gulf Coast region of the United States. It has become a key the northern half of South America (Allen 1969, Henne pest in citrus, especially of satsuma mandarin (Citrus un- and Johnson 2003, Buss et al. 2011). Western leaffooted bug shiu Mar.). It is also considered an important emerging pest became the dominant leaf-footed bug species in Satsuma on a wide range of crops including corn, cotton, eggplant, oranges by 2001 after its first appearance in Louisiana in peach, pecan, pomegranate, tomato, and watermelon in the 1996. United States (Xiao and Fadamiro 2011). Description Adults The adult western leaffooted bugs are 19–21 mm long, dark brown, with flattened leaf-like expansions on the hind tibia. The adult is distinguished from the other Leptoglossus spp. by having a whitish zigzag band across the corium and two pale yellow spots on the anterior pronotum. Eggs The eggs are laid in chains of up to 50 or more on branches, leaves or peduncles of host plants. Most eggs of the family Coreidae (leaf-footed bugs) are golden brown and usually Figure 1. -
