Hymenoptera: Cimbicidae) – a Candidate for Biological Control of Teasels (Dipsacus Spp.

46 Session 1 Pre-Release Testing of Weed Biological Control Agents Laboratory and Open-Field Tests on Abia sericea (Hymenoptera: Cimbicidae) – a Candidate for Biological Control of Teasels (Dipsacus spp.) V. Harizanova1, A. Stoeva1 and B. G. Rector2 1Agriculture University, Plovdiv, Bulgaria [email protected] 2USDA-ARS Exotic and Invasive Weeds Research Unit, Reno, NV, USA Abstract Invasive teasels (Dipsacus spp.) are widespread in the USA (43 states) and listed as noxious in five states. The cimbicid sawfly Abia sericea L. (Linné, 1758) is under evaluation as a potential agent for biological control of teasels. A. sericea lays its eggs under the epidermis of the leaves of Dipsacus plants and the larvae feed on the leaves. Laboratory and open- field experiments to evaluate the host specificity of the sawfly were conducted from 2007- 2010 at Agricultural University of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. In the laboratory, potted plants from twelve plant species belonging to the families Dipsacaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Valerianaceae, Apiaceae, Asteraceae, and Brassicaceae were tested in multi-choice oviposition and feeding tests. They were arranged in plastic cages measuring 40x40x20 cm, with each cage containing one Dipsacus laciniatus L. plant and seven plants of different species. Individual females were released in each cage to oviposit. Number of eggs laid, number of larvae hatching and larval feeding were recorded. Eggs were laid only on D. laciniatus plants with one exception – on Valeriana officinalis L., although no larvae hatched from the latter. Larval feeding was observed only on D. laciniatus, Knautia arvensis (L.) Coult. and Scabiosa sp. (all Dipsacaceae). An open field test was conducted in 2010 with seven plant species from the families Dipsacaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Valerianaceae, Apiaceae, and Brassicaceae arranged in a pseudo Latin square design with a distance of 70 cm between the plants within rows. Third- and fourth-instar larvae were released in June at a rate of 1 or 2 per test plant. Adults were released on the plants several times in June-July to lay eggs. In the open-field test eggs were laid and larvae fed only on D. lacianiatus. XIII International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds - 2011.

Abiinae is the second-largest subfamily in Cimbicidae, a small family of true sawflies (Tenthredinoidea). The subfamily is adequately defined, but the generic classification has been unstable. Currently, only two genera are regarded as valid: Abia Leach, 1817 and Allabia Semenov & Gussakovskij, 1937.

Hymenoptera: Symphyta: Pamphiliidae, Siricidae, Cephidae) from the Okanagan Highlands, Western North America S
1 New early Eocene Siricomorpha (Hymenoptera: Symphyta: Pamphiliidae, Siricidae, Cephidae) from the Okanagan Highlands, western North America S. Bruce Archibald,1 Alexandr P. Rasnitsyn Abstract—We describe three new genera and four new species (three named) of siricomorph sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) from the Ypresian (early Eocene) Okanagan Highlands: Pamphiliidae, Ulteramus republicensis new genus, new species from Republic, Washington, United States of America; Siricidae, Ypresiosirex orthosemos new genus, new species from McAbee, British Columbia, Canada; and Cephidae, Cuspilongus cachecreekensis new genus, new species from McAbee and another cephid treated as Cephinae species A from Horsefly River, British Columbia, Canada. These are the only currently established occurrences of any siricomorph family in the Ypresian. We treat the undescribed new siricoid from the Cretaceous Crato Formation of Brazil as belonging to the Pseudosiricidae, not Siricidae, and agree with various authors that the Ypresian Megapterites mirabilis Cockerell is an ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). The Miocene species Cephites oeningensis Heer and C. fragilis Heer, assigned to the Cephidae over a century and a half ago, are also ants. Many of the host plants that siricomporphs feed upon today first appeared in the Eocene, a number of these in the Okanagan Highlands in particular. The Okanagan Highlands sites where these wasps were found also had upper microthermal mean annual temperatures as are overwhelmingly preferred by most modern siricomorphs, but were uncommon

Genomes of the Hymenoptera Abstract Hymenoptera is the second-most sequenced arthropod order, with 52 publically archived genomes (71 with ants, reviewed elsewhere), however these genomes do not capture the breadth of this very diverse order (Figure 1, Table 1). These sequenced genomes represent only 15 of the 97 extant families. Although at least 55 other genomes are in progress in an additional 11 families (see Table 2), stinging wasps represent 35 (67%) of the available and 42 (76%) of the in progress genomes.

Insect Classification Standards 2020
RECOMMENDED INSECT CLASSIFICATION FOR UGA ENTOMOLOGY CLASSES (2020) In an effort to standardize the hexapod classification systems being taught to our students by our faculty in multiple courses across three UGA campuses, I recommend that the Entomology Department adopts the basic system presented in the following textbook: Triplehorn, C.A. and N.F. Johnson. 2005. Borror and DeLong’s Introduction to the Study of Insects. 7th ed. Thomson Brooks/Cole, Belmont CA, 864 pp. This book was chosen for a variety of reasons. It is widely used in the U.S. as the textbook for Insect Taxonomy classes, including our class at UGA. It focuses on North American taxa. The authors were cautious, presenting changes only after they have been widely accepted by the taxonomic community. Below is an annotated summary of the T&J (2005) classification. Some of the more familiar taxa above the ordinal level are given in caps. Some of the more important and familiar suborders and families are indented and listed beneath each order. Note that this is neither an exhaustive nor representative list of suborders and families. It was provided simply to clarify which taxa are impacted by some of more important classification changes. Please consult T&J (2005) for information about taxa that are not listed below. Unfortunately, T&J (2005) is now badly outdated with respect to some significant classification changes. Therefore, in the classification standard provided below, some well corroborated and broadly accepted updates have been made to their classification scheme. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this classification.

Accepted 18 January, 2012 Water (Basin and pitfall) and sweepnet traps were used to ascertain the population dynamics of the arthropod fauna of transgenic cassava in a confined field trial (CFT) at National Root Crops Research Institute (NRCRI), Umudike, Nigeria. The trial took place from August to November, in 2009 and February to July, in 2010 to identify the major arthropods associated with the crop and to monitor changes in their populations for effective management. Trapped arthropods were sorted and identified by means of a hand lens and a taxonomic key and their relative abundance determined. Most of the order (seven out of the eight recorded) were trapped in the basin and sweepnet traps. Twenty families and numerous mostly unidentified genera and species were collected during the sampling period. Isoptera were the most abundant group, most of which were trapped while foraging and prospecting for nectar, mate, oviposition site, or were accidentally caught. This was followed by Coleoptera and Orthoptera. The least abundant order was Spirostreptida.

Keywords Karyotypes, Hymenoptera / Symphyta: Argidae, Cimbicidae, Cephidae Introduction The karyotypes of sawfly species in the families Argidae, Cephidae, and Cimbicidae are largely unknown. The Argidae is the second largest family of Symphyta and comprises some 800 species (SMITH, 1993). Only three of them have been studied cytogenetically (BENSON, 1950; M a x w e l l , 1958). The haploid chromosome numbers of two of the 150 or more species of Cimbicidae (SMITH, 1993) have so far been reported (BENSON, 1950). In Cephidae with about 100 species known (SMITH, 1993), karyotypes of two species have been published (MACKAY, 1955; CROZIER & TASCHENBERG, 1972).

Spermatodes- mata occur in all examined taxa within the sawfly grade (Xyelidae-Orussidae inclusive), but are not found in the Apocrita. Using DAPI staining, the numbers of individual sperm per sperma- todesm were calculated and the values obtained are mapped on to the current phylogenetic hy- pothesis. The plesiomorphic spermatodesm in the Hymenoptera, based on that observed in the putatively basal family Xyelidae, contains relatively few sperm, approximately 16. However, in the Tenthredinoidea and in the Siricidae, far larger numbers are found, reaching up to 256 in the Cimbicidae.
