E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] 1Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The apterous viviparous female and alate oviparous female of a new aphid species, Tamalia milleri sp. nov., a represen- tative of a nearctic relict genus Tamalia and associated with Arctostaphylos columbiana, is described and figured in detail from specimens collected in California and Oregon (USA) and deposited in the Natural History Museum, London (UK). The differences between T. milleri and a related species, T. dicksoni Remaudière & Stroyan as well as other taxa of this genus are discussed. The distribution of Tamalia and a key to identification of the known species of the genus are provided. Key words: aphids, Arctostaphylos, Nearctic, taxonomy Introduction The relict nearctic genus Tamalia Baker, forming galls on Arctostaphylos Adanson (manzanitas; Ericaceae Juss.) (Blackman and Eastop, 2006) is the only extant representative of the aphid subfamily Tamaliinae Oestlund, 1923 (Remaudière and Stroyan, 1984). This genus comprises four described species; however, some authors question the validity of T. keltoni Richards (Blackman and Eastop, 2006). -

1 an Example of Parasitoid Foraging: Torymus Capite
1 AN EXAMPLE OF PARASITOID FORAGING: TORYMUS CAPITE (HUBER; HYMEMOPTERA: TORYMIDAE [CHALCIDOIDEA]) ATTACKING THE GOLDENROD GALL-MIDGE ASTEROMYIA CARBONIFERA (O. S.; DIPTERA: CECIDOMYIIDAE) Richard F. Green Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Minnesota Duluth Duluth, MN 55812 U. S. A. INTRODUCTION Van Alphen and Vet (1986) refer to the work of Arthur E. Weis (1983) on a torymid wasp that attacks a gall midge on goldenrod. This system seems to be quite well-studied, particularly, but not exclusively, by Weis. Van Alphen and Vet point out that the parasitoids tend to attack about the same proportion of hosts in patches (galls) with varying numbers of hosts. This has implications for the foraging strategy that the parasitoids use. In this note I want to do three things: (1) outline the basic biology of the organisms involved, (2) describe the results of a foraging experiment conducted by Weis (1983), and (3) interpret the results in terms of Oaten’s stochastic model of optimal foraging. Arthur E. Weis is coauthor of a book (Abrahamson and Weis 1997) on the biology of a three trophic-level system involving a goldenrod stem-gall maker Eurosta solidaginis, its host plant and its enemies. The work described here is earlier work, done an a different species. The biology of the system The species of greatest interest are the torymid parasitoid Torymus capite, which is a larval parasitoid of the gall midge Asteromyia carbonifera, which itself makes blister-like galls on the leaves of goldenrod, especially Canadian goldenrod, Solidgo canadiensis L. (Compositae). There are three generations of gall midge (and its parasitoids) each year. -

However, there is a lack of explicit, experimental tests of predictions of the enemy-release hypothesis (ERH), particularly regarding the effects of above- and belowground herbivory. Long-term studies investigating the relative effect of herbivores on invasive vs. native plant species within a community are still lacking. Here, we report on a long-term field experiment in an old-field community, invaded by Solidago canadensis s. -

197 Section 9 Sunflower (Helianthus
SECTION 9 SUNFLOWER (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS L.) 1. Taxonomy of the Genus Helianthus, Natural Habitat and Origins of the Cultivated Sunflower A. Taxonomy of the genus Helianthus The sunflower belongs to the genus Helianthus in the Composite family (Asterales order), which includes species with very diverse morphologies (herbs, shrubs, lianas, etc.). The genus Helianthus belongs to the Heliantheae tribe. This includes approximately 50 species originating in North and Central America. The basis for the botanical classification of the genus Helianthus was proposed by Heiser et al. (1969) and refined subsequently using new phenological, cladistic and biosystematic methods, (Robinson, 1979; Anashchenko, 1974, 1979; Schilling and Heiser, 1981) or molecular markers (Sossey-Alaoui et al., 1998). This approach splits Helianthus into four sections: Helianthus, Agrestes, Ciliares and Atrorubens. This classification is set out in Table 1.18. Section Helianthus This section comprises 12 species, including H. annuus, the cultivated sunflower. These species, which are diploid (2n = 34), are interfertile and annual in almost all cases. For the majority, the natural distribution is central and western North America. They are generally well adapted to dry or even arid areas and sandy soils. The widespread H. annuus L. species includes (Heiser et al., 1969) plants cultivated for seed or fodder referred to as H. annuus var. macrocarpus (D.C), or cultivated for ornament (H. annuus subsp. annuus), and uncultivated wild and weedy plants (H. annuus subsp. lenticularis, H. annuus subsp. Texanus, etc.). Leaves of these species are usually alternate, ovoid and with a long petiole. Flower heads, or capitula, consist of tubular and ligulate florets, which may be deep purple, red or yellow. -
