  • Citrus Flushing Patterns, Diaphorina Citri (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) Populations and Parasitism by Tamarixia Radiata (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in Puerto Rico
    36 Florida Entomologist 91(1) March 2008 CITRUS FLUSHING PATTERNS, DIAPHORINA CITRI (HEMIPTERA: PSYLLIDAE) POPULATIONS AND PARASITISM BY TAMARIXIA RADIATA (HYMENOPTERA: EULOPHIDAE) IN PUERTO RICO RICHARD W. H. PLUKE, JAWWAD A. QURESHI AND PHILIP A. STANSLY Department of Entomology and Nematology, University of Florida/IFAS Southwest Florida Research and Education Center, 2686 SR 29N, Immokalee, FL 34142, USA ABSTRACT Discovery of citrus greening disease or Huanglongbing in Brazil and Florida has elevated the vector psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), to key pest status in both re- gions. Detected in Puerto Rico within 3 years of first detection in Florida, the psyllid ap- peared to be relatively scarce in the Island’s limited citrus and alternate rutaceous host, orange jasmine, Murraya paniculata. Monthly surveys were conducted at 4 locations during 2004 through 2005 to evaluate citrus flushing patterns, psyllid densities, and prevalence of parasitism by Tamarixia radiata. Although low levels of D. citri are known to be established in the high, cool areas of Adjuntas, a total lack of psyllids at the particular study location was attributed to scarcity of flush except for a short period in Feb. Greatest and most prolonged production of new flush, highest psyllid numbers, and greatest incidence of parasitism oc- curred at Isabela, the most coastal location and the only one with irrigated citrus. Favorable climate and irrigation resulted in prolonged availability of new foliage needed to maintain populations of psyllids and consequently its parasitoid. There, apparent parasitism of late instars was estimated to average 70% and approached 100% on 3 different occasions. Tam- arixia radiata also was found parasitizing psyllid nymphs in orange jasmine at the rate of 48% and 77% at Río Piedras and San Juan, respectively, approaching 100% on 5 occasions during spring and summer.

McLachlan Dorothy Jean Jackson FRES FLS (1892-1973) should be familiar to anyone interested in water beetles. She published prolifically on the ecology, distribution, flight capacity, and parasites of water beetles, and made especially important contributions to our knowledge of dytiscids. Lees (1974) provided a very brief and somewhat accurate obituary. I am currently preparing a more comprehensive biography of her and would be grateful to receive any notes or anecdotes from those that knew or met her. Foster (1991), at the request of the late Hans Schaeflein, was the first effort in putting together a publication list. Here I provide a more extensive bibliography of her work that is almost certainly incomplete, but I think includes most of her scientific output between 1907 and 1973.

Key words: Hymenoptera; Eulophidae; Entedoninae; Afrotropical region; propodeum; new genera; new species. Two new genera of Entedoninae are described from Afrotropical region. The genus Janicharis gen. nov. (type species: J. africana spec. nov.) is described from Cameroon, Nigeria and Madagascar. The genus Hakuna gen. nov. (type species: H. matata spec. nov.) is described from Uganda. Both genera have a rather characteristic habitus and a peculiar propodeum bearing large anterolateral strips. A new, but yet unnamed, species of the genus Trisecodes Delvare & LaSalle, 2000, is recorded from Cameroon. This is the fi rst Afrotropical record of this genus, originally described from the Neotropical region. Introduction Afrotropical and Malagasy Entedoninae are probably the least studied group with- in the family Eulophidae. They include only 107 of almost 1200 species known world- wide so far. Compared to this, 603 entedonines are known from the Holarctic region, 239 from the Neotropics and more than 300 from the Indo-Pacifi c area (Noyes, 2001, 2003).

Its vector in the main produc- ing regions is the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, 1908 (Hemiptera: Liviidae). Brazil has the larg- est orange-growing area and is also the largest exporter of processed juice in the world. Since the first detection http://jipm.oxfordjournals.org/ of the disease in this country, >38 million plants have been destroyed and pesticide consumption has increased considerably. During early research on control methods, the parasitoid Tamarixia radiata (Waterston, 1922) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) was found in Brazil. Subsequent studies focused on its bio-ecological aspects and distribution in citrus-producing regions. Based on successful preliminary results for biological control with T. radiata in small areas, mass rearing was initiated for mass releases in Brazilian conditions. Here, we review the Brazilian experience using T. radiata in D. citri control, with releases at sites of HLB outbreaks, adjacent to commercial areas, in abandoned groves, areas with orange jessamine (a psyllid host), and backyards.

In the present study, a Y-tube olfactometer was employed to investigate whether the parasitoid T. radiata is capable of utilizing the odour source emitted by both plants and insect hosts during its foraging. The odour sources included Murraya paniculata (L.) shoots, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th D. citri instar nymphs, both individually and in combinations. Moreover, nymph-stage choice for parasitism, including 3rd, 4th, and 5th D. citri instar nymphs, was carried out. The results indicated that female T. radiata were only significantly attracted to volatiles emitted by M.

It uses food as the springboard to engage students in inquiry-based, exploratory science that also promotes awareness and proper behaviors related to food safety. FDA has developed a new component to the program: Science and Our Food Supply: Exploring Food Agriculture and Biotechnology —Teacher’s Guide for High School Classrooms, 1st edition. Designed to be used separately or in conjunction with the original program, this curriculum aims to help students understand traditional agricultural methods and more recent technologies that many farmers use today. The United States has long benefited from a successful agriculture system. However, with fewer people working on farms today compared to 100, or even 50, years ago, many American students do not fully understand how agriculture directly affects such aspects of their lives as food, health, lifestyles, and the environment.

  • Distribution, Biology, Ecology and Control of the Psyllid Diaphorina Citri Kuwayama, a Major Pest of Citrus: a Status Report for China
    International Journal of Pest Management, October – December 2006; 52(4): 343 – 352 Distribution, biology, ecology and control of the psyllid Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, a major pest of citrus: A status report for China YUEPING YANG1, MINGDU HUANG1, G. ANDREW C. BEATTIE2, YULU XIA3, GECHENG OUYANG1, & JINJUN XIONG1 1Guangdong Entomological Institute, Guangzhou, Guangdong, People’s Republic of China, 2Centre for Plant and Food Science, University of Western Sydney, Penrith South DC, New South Wales, Australia, and 3National Science Foundation Center for Integrated Pest Management, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA Abstract The Asiatic citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is a major pest of citrus in China. Its status derives, not from the damage it causes, but from its role as the only known vector in China of huanglongbing, a phloem- limited bacterial disease of international importance. The disease can devastate orchards within a few years of planting. It also poses a major threat to endangered indigenous citrus germplasm in Asia and Australasia. The distribution, biology, ecology and control of the psyllid in China are reviewed in these contexts. Constraints and challenges related to control of the vector in China are discussed.

Beitr. 34/1 563-618 30.8.2002 Catalogue of the Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) of Russia Z.A. YEFREMOVA Abstract: This catalogue includes information on 470 species in 55 genera that occur in the six regions of Russia; their synonymy and distribution are also included. A map shows the main geographical territories of Russia. The catalogue contains information about 113 holotypes that are deposited in Zoological Institution of Russian Academy of Science, St. Petersburg, Russia (ZIN). The text is based on 116 searches of the relevant literature. This catalogue should be useful to specialists in plant protection and biological control. It is hoped that this information will also be of interest to all chalcidologists, especially those who are working on the Eulophidae. Contents Introduction 563 Family Eulophidae.. 566 Subfamily: Eulophinae 566 Subfamily: Entedoninae 580 Subfamily: Euderinae 588 Subfamily: Tetrastichinae 589 Acknowledgements 612 References 612 Introduction In Russia the study of chalcid began in the 1930s so that several generations of scientists have been studying them for 65 years. M.N. Nikolskaya was the first organiser of the chalcid scientific school with the first study emanating from the Plant Protection Institution. The monograph "Chalcid fauna of USSR" by Nikolskaya was published in 1952 and had great significance for development of the study of chalcids.
