Resumen y Abstract IX Resumen Las larvas de barrenadores del género Diatraea, causan daños considerables en cultivos de caña de azúcar en las regiones productoras de panela en Colombia. Debido al desconocimiento del comportamiento sexual, a la amplia distribución de la especie Diatraea saccharalis y a la variación geográfica de la composición de su feromona sexual, el objetivo de este trabajo fue comprender el comportamiento sexual y éxito reproductivo de esta especie, evaluando la conducta de llamado de hembras vírgenes de uno, dos y tres días de edad y el comportamiento de cópula y éxito reproductivo de adultos vírgenes de uno y dos días de edad, adicionalmente se construyó un etograma para entender el comportamiento sexual y se evaluó la respuesta de machos vírgenes de uno y dos días en túnel de viento bajo condiciones controladas de temperatura y humedad relativa (25 ± 2°C, y 60 ± 10% de H.R.) y fotoperiodo 12h:12h, en el área de entomología del C.I. Tibaitatá de Agrosavia ubicado en el municipio de Mosquera (Cundinamarca, Colombia). El comportamiento de llamado se evidenció desde la quinta hasta la décimo primera hora de escotofase. La duración del llamado varió entre 30 y 210 min, siendo mayor el porcentaje de hembras que llamaron durante 30 min. El 37% de hembras de 1 día llamaron una única vez. El inicio de la cópula se observó desde la sexta hora de escotofase y se mantuvo hasta la décima hora, con una duración entre 30 y 120 minutos. Las parejas evaluadas copularon solamente una vez y no se observó que las hembras copuladas realizarán nuevamente exposición de la glándula. Las parejas de un día presentaron el mayor porcentaje de respuesta en túnel de viento. El porcentaje de fecundidad fue del 71.2%. La supervivencia del estado de larva fue de 81.2%, de pupa de 86.6% y de adultos 97.4%. Palabras clave: Etograma, glándula sexual, feromona, fertilidad, fecundidad, barrenador. X Comportamiento sexual y éxito reproductivo de Diatraea saccharalis en laboratorio Abstract Borers of Diatraea genus cause considerable damage to cane crops in Colombian panela (non-centrifugal cane sugar) producing regions. Due to the wide distribution of the species Diatraea saccharalis and the geographical variation of the composition of its sex pheromone, the aim of this work was to understand the sexual behavior and the reproductive success of D. saccharalis. Calling behavior of one, two and three days old virgin females, one and two days old virgin adults copula behavior, the construction of an ethogram to understand sexual behavior was performed, and the response of virgin adults of one and two days in wind tunnel was evaluated under controlled conditions of temperature, relative humidity (25 ± 2 °C, and 60 ± 10% of RH) and photoperiod 12h(D):12h(L), in Agrosavia C.I. Tibaitatá Entomological Laboratory, located in Mosquera (Cundinamarca, Colombia). The calling behavior was evidenced from the fifth and eleventh hour. The calling duration varied between 30 and 210 min, being greater the percentage of calls during 30 min. 37% of one-day calling only once. Mating occur between sixth and tenth hour, with a duration of 30 and 120 minutes. The couples evaluated, mating once and it was not observed that the copulated females would perform the calling behavior again (exposure of sexual gland). The one-day couples presented the highest response percentage in wind tunnel. The fertility percentage was 71.2%. Survival of larval stage was 81.2%, pupa 86.6% and adults 97.4%. Keywords: Etogram, sexual gland, pheromone, fertility, fecundity, borer.

Concluding Remarks Acknowledgments Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary In this chapter we describe the current state of tropical insect chemical ecology in Latin America with the aim of stimulating the use of this important tool for future generations of technicians and professionals workers in insect pest management. Sex pheromones of tropical insectsUNESCO that have been identified to– date EOLSS are mainly used for detection and population monitoring. Another strategy termed mating disruption, has been used in the control of the tomato pinworm, Keiferia lycopersicella, and the Guatemalan potato moth, Tecia solanivora. Research into other semiochemicals such as kairomones in tropical insects SAMPLErevealed evidence of their presence CHAPTERS in coleopterans. However, additional studies are necessary in order to confirm these laboratory results. In fruit flies, the isolation of potential attractants (kairomone) from Spondias mombin for Anastrepha obliqua was reported recently. The use of semiochemicals to control insect pests is advantageous in that it is safe for humans and the environment. The extensive use of these kinds of technologies could be very important in reducing the use of pesticides with the consequent reduction in the level of contamination caused by these products around the world.

C. Lee 1, Stacey J. Anderson2, Lucy T. T. Tran-Nguyen3, Nader Sallam4, Bruno P. Le Ru5,6, Desmond Conlong7,8, Kevin Powell 9, Andrew Ward10 & Andrew Mitchell1 Lepidopteran stemborers are among the most damaging agricultural pests worldwide, able to reduce crop yields by up to 40%. Sugarcane is the world’s most prolifc crop, and several stemborer species from the families Noctuidae, Tortricidae, Crambidae and Pyralidae attack sugarcane. Australia is currently free of the most damaging stemborers, but biosecurity eforts are hampered by the difculty in morphologically distinguishing stemborer species. Here we assess the utility of DNA barcoding in identifying stemborer pest species. We review the current state of the COI barcode sequence library for sugarcane stemborers, assembling a dataset of 1297 sequences from 64 species. Sequences were from specimens collected and identifed in this study, downloaded from BOLD or requested from other authors. We performed species delimitation analyses to assess species diversity and the efectiveness of barcoding in this group. Seven species exhibited <0.03 K2P interspecifc diversity, indicating that diagnostic barcoding will work well in most of the studied taxa. We identifed 24 instances of identifcation errors in the online database, which has hampered unambiguous stemborer identifcation using barcodes. Instances of very high within-species diversity indicate that nuclear markers (e.g. 18S, 28S) and additional morphological data (genitalia dissection of all lineages) are needed to confrm species boundaries.

  • Crambidae Biosecurity Occurrence Background Subfamilies Short Description Diagnosis
    Diaphania nitidalis Chilo infuscatellus Crambidae Webworms, Grass Moths, Shoot Borers Biosecurity BIOSECURITY ALERT This Family is of Biosecurity Concern Occurrence This family occurs in Australia. Background The Crambidae is a large, diverse and ubiquitous family of moths that currently comprises 11,500 species globally, with at least half that number again undescribed. The Crambidae and the Pyralidae constitute the superfamily Pyraloidea. Crambid larvae are concealed feeders with a great diversity in feeding habits, shelter building and hosts, such as: leaf rollers, shoot borers, grass borers, leaf webbers, moss feeders, root feeders that shelter in soil tunnels, and solely aquatic life habits. Many species are economically important pests in crops and stored food products. Subfamilies Until recently, the Crambidae was treated as a subfamily under the Pyralidae (snout moths or grass moths). Now they form the superfamily Pyraloidea with the Pyralidae. The Crambidae currently consists of the following 14 subfamilies: Acentropinae Crambinae Cybalomiinae Glaphyriinae Heliothelinae Lathrotelinae Linostinae Midilinae Musotiminae Odontiinae Pyraustinae Schoenobiinae Scopariinae Spilomelinae Short Description Crambid caterpillars are generally cylindrical, with a semiprognathous head and only primary setae (Fig 1). They are often plainly coloured (Fig. 16, Fig. 19), but can be patterned with longitudinal stripes and pinacula that may give them a spotted appearance (Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 14, Fig. 22). Prolegs may be reduced in borers (Fig. 16). More detailed descriptions are provided below. This factsheet presents, firstly, diagnostic features for the Pyraloidea (Pyralidae and Crambidae) and then the Crambidae. Information and diagnostic features are then provided for crambids listed as priority biosecurity threats for northern Australia.

Av. Universidad 1001. Col. Chamilpa. Cuernavaca, Morelos, México. C. P. 62209. Autor de correspondencia: [email protected] RESUMEN. En el presente trabajo se da a conocer el hallazgo de un Cypovirus en una Colonia del barrenador de la caña de azúcar, Diatraea magnifactella Dyar, 1911, establecida en el laboratorio de Control Biológico del Centro de Investigación en Biotecnología de la Universidad Autónoma del estado de Morelos, cuyo objetivo es la evaluación de entomopatógenos para su control. En la generación 22a se detectaron por primera vez síntomas como son pérdida del apetito, alargamiento del ciclo, deformaciones en pupas y adultos, así como disminución de la fertilidad, los cuales provocaron una merma en la producción de insectos. El Cypovirus fue confirmado al disectar una larva con retardo en el crecimiento y obtener su intestino, el cual presentó una apariencia lechosa característica de la infección por estos virus. Se realizó una preparación fresca de una porción del intestino y se observó la presencia de cuerpos de oclusión refringentes. Se probó un método no invasivo para eliminar la infección sin tener que sacrificar toda la colonia, que consistió de un proceso de selección a partir de la formación de parejas de reproducción y la técnica de tinción de Buffalo Black en meconias, los cuales en conjunto permitieron eliminar la forma activa del CPV.
