As a result of this, a total of 10 rare species (3 species of Donaciinae, 1 species of Clytrinae, 2 species of Chrysomelinae and 4 species of Galerucinae) of Turkish leaf beetles were determined. All species are the first record for Çankırı province. Especially, 5 species of them are the second records for Turkey as Donacia cinerea Herbst in after 43 years and Plateumaris consimilis (Schrank) in after 7 years to the subfamily Donaciinae, Chrysolina analis (Linnaeus) in after 7 years and Colaphellus sophiae amasiae Machatschke in after 64 years to the subfamily Chrysomelinae, Calomicrus circumfusus (Marsham) in after 4 years and Luperus floralis Faldermann in after 15 years to the subfamily Galerucinae. In addition 5 of them are the new records for Western Black Sea region of Turkey, and also 4 of them are the new records for Central Anatolian region of Turkey.

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 %.

Because no taxonomic paper on the Chrysomelidae existed for the state, the present work with the subfamilies Donaciinae, Criocerinae, Clytrinae, Chlamisinae, Eumolpinae, and Chrysomelinae of the eleven subfamilies found in Oklahoma was inaugurated. The chrysomelids are a large family of small or medium-sized beetles. They are generally host specific and sometimes cause extensive damage to field crops and horticultural plants. However, the Donaciinae, Clytrinae, and Chlamisinae are of little economic interest. The economically important species belong to the Criocerinae, Eumolpinae, and·Chrysomelinae. The larvae and adults of these feed on the foliage of plants, except the larvae of Eumolpinae which are primarily rootfeeders. Included in this work are 29 genera contain- ing 59 species of which 54 species are known to occur in the state and five. species are likely to occur here. I wish to thank my major advisor, Dr. William A. Drew, for his encouragement, guidance and assistance, and the other committee members, Drs.

The blueberry, Vaccinium corymbosum L. (Ericaceae), is a shrub native to the northern Hemisphere introduced in Argentina, where it occupies small cultivated areas mainly in the provinces of Buenos Aires, Entre Ríos and Tucumán. At present, little is known about insects associated with this crop in Argentina. The aim of this study was to identify the species of Chrysomelidae present in blueberry crops in different regions of Argentina, and to present new chrysomelids-blueberry associations. Identification diagnosis, geographical distribution, association with other plants and aspects of their biology is given for each species. Seven species of crop-damaging Chrysomelidae were recorded in blueberry crops of Buenos Aires and Entre Rios. They belong to the subfamilies Galerucinae: Diabrotica speciosa (Germar), Disonychodes exclamationis (Boheman), Caeporis stigmula Germar, and Cacoscelis melanoptera Germar; Eumolpinae: Percolaspis varia (Lefèvre), and Spintherophyta semiaurata (Klug); and Cryptocephalinae: Lexiphanes coenobita Suffrian.

NEW STATE RECORD. At least 600 C. floridana imagos were observed on 25 June 2014 severely defoliating seven shrubs of Cornus amomum Miller over an area of approximately 25 x 15 m. On 9 July 2014 the population was still at least 390 beetles, but by 15 July only 190 were observed. Two Ulmus americana L. and two Alnus serrulata (Aiton) Willd., known hosts of morphologically similar Calligrapha species were adjacent to the C. amomum population but contained no Calligrapha beetles. Known host plants of C. floridana are species of Cornus (Cornaceae) and questionably Illicium (Illiciaceae) (Clark et al., 2004). Published records for C.
