  • The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution
    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

Five species of the Oulema melanopus group are recognized in the western Palaearctic Region: O. melanopus (Linnaeus, 1758), O. rufocyanea (Suffrian, 1847), O. duftschmidi (Redtenbacher, 1874), O. mauroi sp. nov. (nor- thern Italy), and O. verae sp. nov. (Spain and Portugal). The two new species are described and illustrated. The nomenclature of the group is discussed in detail. Oulema rufocyanea is proved to be a validly described species different to O. duftschmidi. To fi x the nomenclatural stability of the whole group and avoid sub- sequent misintepretations, neotypes are designated for Crioceris melanopoda O. F. Müller, 1776; Crioceris hordei Geoffroy, 1785; and Lema cyanella var. atrata Waltl, 1835 (all conspecifi c with O. melanopus). The primary type specimens or their photographs were examined if they exist. The spelling Oulema melanopus is fi xed as correct and explained. Variation in the cytochrome c oxidase (cox1) gene across specimens of all the species has been analysed. All species in the group had extremely similar haplotypes, with interspecifi c sequence similarities between 90.5–99.5 %, compared to intraspecifi c sequence similarities between 91.6–100 %.

Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Oulema, cereal leaf beetles, DNA barcode, COI, identifi cation, crop pests, Europe Abstract. Oulema melanopus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Oulema duftschmidi (Redtenbacher, 1874) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) are two native West Palaearctic species developing on various cultivated and wild grasses. Along with O. obscura they are considered to be secondary pests of cereal crops. However, local outbreaks have been recorded recently and their status as secondary pests may evolve, especially as the use of broad-spectrum insecticides is now greatly reduced. Oulema melanopus and O. duftschmidi are considered to be sibling species. They are morphologically very close and diffi cult to distinguish from each other, which makes it diffi cult to study them. We tested the reliability of the standard barcode fragment (COI) for distinguishing between these spe- cies. A total of 92 samples of the two species, covering the majority of their natural range, was sequenced for the barcode frag- ment and inter- and intraspecifi c genetic distances were estimated.

Based on a literature review, a total of 13 species within four genera, Crioceris Geoffroy (five species), Lilioceris Reitter (four species), Lema Fabricius (one species) and Oulema Des Gozis (three species), are given. Among the listed species, Lema (Lema ) cyanella Linnaeus, 1758 is a new record for the fauna of Iran. KEY WORDS : Fauna, species diversity, catalogue, Criocerinae, Palaearctic, Iran Introduction The subfamily Criocerinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), known as shining leaf beetles, includes 22 genera and about 1500 described species worldwide, of which more than 200 occur in the Palaearctic region (Schmitt, 2010; Bezděk & Schmitt, 2017). The majority of the taxa inhabit subtropical and tropical habitats and are arranged in five well-known genera; Crioceris Müller, 1764, Lilioceris Reitter, 1913, Lema Fabricius, 1798, Oulema Gozis, 1886, and lastly Neolema Monrós, 1951, which is known only from the New World (Matsumura et al. , 2014). Among these genera, Lema constitutes the largest group (about 900 species) with nearly 60% of the subfamily’s identified species (Warchałowski, 2011; Vencl & Leschen, 2014). Members of the subfamily are characterized by their glabrous, shiny appearance with a distinctly narrowed and constricted pronotum (Schmitt, 1988; White, 1993).

  • Biocontrol of Weeds: Achievements to Date and Future Outlook
    BIOCONTROL OF WEEDS 2.8 BIOCONTROL OF WEEDS: ACHIEVEMENTS TO DATE AND FUTURE OUTLOOK Lynley Hayes1, Simon V. Fowler1, Quentin Paynter2, Ronny Groenteman1, Paul Peterson3, Sarah Dodd2, Stanley Bellgard2 1 Landcare Research, PO Box 69040, Lincoln 7640, New Zealand 2 Landcare Research, Auckland, New Zealand 3 Landcare Research, Palmerston North, New Zealand ABSTRACT: New Zealand has a serious problem with unwanted exotic weeds. Invasive plants threaten all ecosystems and have undesirable impacts on primary production and biodiversity values, costing the country billions of dollars each year. Biocontrol is a key tool for reducing the impacts of serious, widespread exotic weeds. We review the nearly 90-year history of weed biocontrol research in New Zealand. Thirty-eight species of agents have been established against 17 targets. Establishment success rates are high, the safety record remains excellent, and support for biocontrol remains strong. Despite the long-term nature of this approach partial control of fi ve targets (Mexican devil weed Ageratina adenophora, alligator weed Alternanthera philoxeroides, heather Calluna vulgaris, nodding thistle Carduus nutans, broom Cytisus scoparius), and good control of three targets (mist fl ower Ageratina riparia, St John’s wort Hypericum perforatum, and ragwort Jacobaea vulgaris) have already been achieved. The self-introduced rust Puccinia myrsiphylli is also providing excellent control of bridal creeper Asparagus asparagoides. Information about the value of successful weed biocontrol programmes is starting to become available. Savings from the St John’s wort project alone have more than paid for the total investment in weed biocontrol in New Zealand to date. Recent research advances are helping us to select the best weed targets and control agents, and are enabling biocontrol programmes to be even safer and more effective.
