The psyllid Citrus has been reported from mainland Europe, where it is rapidly spreading from the northwest to the southwest of HLB the Iberian Peninsula. In order to reduce its spread and population levels, a classical biological control program Greening disease with the parasitoid Tamarixia dryi is under development in Spain. We evaluated the host specificity of T. dryi Host-specificity using 11 non-target psyllid (NTP) species, including five species of the genus Trioza. The psyllids were selected Non-reproductive effects based on phylogenetic and ecological criteria. Tamarixia dryi exhibited a high host specificity. Females did not Risk assessment parasitize any of the 11 NTPs tested, except for one nymph of a gall-forming Trioza species closely related to Trioza montanetana. Tamarixia dryi only laid one egg on a nymph when it was removed from the gall on Convolvulus canariensis and exposed directly to the parasitoid. However, the immature parasitoid died before emerging. We further confirmed that T. dryi did not parasitize a representative triozid species, Trioza laurisilvae, of the endemic Canarian fauna after long time exposure. Our results demonstrate that T. dryi is a highly specific parasitoid and its introduction, release and establishment in Europe within the classical biological control program of T. erytreae should not affect other psyllid species. Therefore, no significant environmental impact is expected. ⁎ Corresponding author at: Centro de Protección Vegetal y Biotecnología, Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Agrarias (IVIA), Moncada, Spain.

This Psyllid, which was introduced into New Jersey from Bel- gium and which is well known and destructive in Europe, has al- ready been recorded as occuring in New Jersey (Weiss, Canadian Ent. Feb., 1917, pp. 73-75). D. L.

S. N. 5/[. It occurs in New Jersey on bay trees which are kept either under glass all the year or out of doors during the summer and Under glass the remainder of the year. The following observations were made on trees kept outside during the summer months. Its presence on Bay (Laurus nobilis) can be readily detected by the curled, discolored, swollen, blistered leaves, usually at the tips of the branches, containing what appear to be whitish masses. Upon uncurling a leaf the nymphs are readily seen clothed in a white waxy secretion.

  • The Jumping Plant-Lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) of the Maltese Islands
    BULLETIN OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF MALTA (2020) Vol. 11 : 103–117 DOI: 10.17387/BULLENTSOCMALTA.2020.18 The jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) of the Maltese Islands David MIFSUD* ABSTRACT. Twenty-one species of jumping plant-lice accommodated in five different families are here recorded from the Maltese Islands in an annotated checklist. The Aphalaridae is represented by four species (Agonoscena targionii (Lichtenstein), Blastopsylla occidentalis Taylor, Colposcenia aliena (Löw) and Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore), of which two (B. occidentalis and G. brimblecombei) are alien species originating from Australia. The Homotomidae is represented by Homotoma ficus (Linnaeus) and Macrohomotoma gladiata Kuwayama, the latter being an alien species originating from the Far East. The Liviidae is represented by Euphyllura olivina (Costa), Diaphorina lycii Loginova and Psyllopsis fraxinicola (Foerster). The Psyllidae is represented by Acizzia uncatoides (Ferris & Klyver), Cacopsylla myrthi (Puton) and C. pyri (Linnaeus), of which Acizzia uncatoides is an alien species originating from Australia. Finally, the most species-rich family is the Triozidae, represented by nine species (Bactericera albiventris (Foerster), B. crithmi (Löw), B. trigonica Hodkinson, Heterotrioza chenopodii (Reuter), Lauritrioza alacris (Flor), Trioza centranthi (Vallot), T. galii Foerster, T. kiefferi Giard and T. urticae (Linnaeus)). For each of the above species, collection data, distribution, host- plant data and other relevant information is provided. Lycium intricatum Boiss. is a new host-plant record for Diaphorina lycii, and Rhamnus lycioides subsp. oleoides (L.) Jahand. & Maire is a new host-plant record for Cacopsylla myrthi. A host- plant shift is documented for Bactericera crithmi, which alternates between Ferula melitensis Brullo et al. in winter and Crithmum maritimum L.

Osušeni listovi lovora su omiljeni začin, a eterična ulja iz listova se primjenjuju u aromaterapiji, kozmetici i u prehrambenoj industriji.

Utvrđene su značajne razlike u sadržaju eteričnih ulja u listovima muških i ženskih biljaka lovora. Ana- lize sadržaja eteričnih ulja u listovima muških biljaka pokazale su da muške biljke lovora sadrže manju količinu eteričnih ulja u odnosu na ženske biljke.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Life Sciences, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A revised classification for the world jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) is presented comprising all published family and genus-group names. The new classification consists of eight families: Aphalaridae, Carsidaridae, Calophy- idae, Homotomidae, Liviidae, Phacopteronidae, Psyllidae and Triozidae. The Aphalaridae, Liviidae and Psyllidae are redefined, 20 family-group names as well as 28 genus-group names are synonymised, and one replacement name is proposed [Sureaca nomen nov., for Acaerus Loginova, 1976]. Forty two new species combinations are proposed re- sulting from new genus-group synonymies and a replacement name. One subfamily and three genera are considered taxa incertae sedis, and one genus a nomen dubium. Finally eight unavailable names are listed (one family-group and seven genus-group names). Key words: Psyllids, classification, diagnosis, systematics, taxonomy, new taxa, synonymy. Introduction Jumping plant-lice have lately shifted into general awareness as vectors of serious plant diseases, as economically important pests in agriculture and forestry and as potential control organisms of exotic invasive plants. Diaphorina citri Kuwayama which transmits the causal agent of huanglongbing (HLB, greening disease) is considered today the most serious citrus pest in Asia and America (Bonani et al., 2009; de Leon et al., 2011; Tiwari et al., 2011).

  • Life Cycle Variation and Adaptation in Jumping Plant Lice (Insecta: Hemiptera: Psylloidea): a Global Synthesis Ian D
    Journal of Natural History Vol. 43, Nos. 1–2, January 2009, 65–179 Life cycle variation and adaptation in jumping plant lice (Insecta: Hemiptera: Psylloidea): a global synthesis Ian D. Hodkinson* School of Biological and Earth Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool, UK (Received 1 February 2008; final version received 20 July 2008) This paper integrates the scattered information on the life histories of the jumping plant lice or psyllids, examining those aspects of their biology that contribute to successful life cycle completion. Variation in life history parameters is reviewed across the world’s psyllids and the relative importance of phylogeny and environment, including host-plant growth strategy, in determining life history strategies is assessed. Elements of life cycles considered include: development rate and voltinism, response to high temperature and drought, cold-hardiness and overwintering strategy, seasonal polymorphism, diapause, metabolism, host-plant selection and range, phenological and other adaptations to host plants, disease transmission and host amelioration, dispersal, reproduction and mate finding. Life history parameters are analyzed for 342 species. While a phylogenetic signal can be identified within the data, the main drivers for life history adaptation are environmental temperatures and water availability, acting directly on the psyllids or mediated through their host plants. Keywords: psyllid; life-history; phylogeny; temperature; water Introduction Jumping plant lice, or psyllids (Psylloidea), comprise a group of around 3000 species of small plant-sap-feeding insects allied to the aphids and whiteflies. They occur throughout nearly all the world’s major climatic regions where suitable host plants are found. This paper attempts to integrate the wealth of scattered information on the life histories of the psyllids and to examine those aspects of their biology that contribute to successful life cycle completion.
