    Express PRA for Contarinia pseudotsugae – Occurrence – Prepared by: Julius Kuehn-Institute, Institute for National and International Plant Health; Dr. Silke Steinmöller, Dr. Björn Hoppe, Dr. Gritta Schrader, Dr. Anne Wilstermann; on: 27-04- 2018 (translated by Elke Vogt-Arndt) Revision highlighted in red and in italics First initiation: Occurrence of Contarinia sp., presumably C. pseudotsugae, in Baden-Württemberg, Brandenburg and Rhine-Land Palatinate Initiation for revision: Distribution in Germany; phytosantiary mesures are no longer useful Express PRA Contarinia pseudotsugae Condrashoff Phytosanitary risk for Classification is no longer applicable as Contarinia Germany pseudotsugae is widely distributed and does no longer fulfill the requirements for a quarantine pest. The containment is not deemed reasonable because of the natural distribution. Certainty of assessment high medium low Conclusion The Douglas-fir needle midge Contarinia pseudotsugae is endemic in Northern America and already occurs in partial areas of Germany and the EU. It is not listed in the Annexes of Directive 2000/29/EC but was included in the EPPO-Alert- List in 2016. Contarinia pseudotsugae solely attacks Douglas firs. Due to suitable climatic conditions Contarinia pseudotsugae established outdoors in Germany. An establishment in Central and Northern European EU-Member States is also possible. Notwithstanding that Contarinia pseudotsugae possibly might cause considerable damage mainly in nurseries, young reforestation and in Christmas tree plantings, damage descriptions from the areas where the pest occurs in Germany and other EU Member States are rare. According to actual knowledge Contarinia pseudotsugae is already wide spread in Brandenburg and North-Rhine-Westphalia and is also present in different locations in Rhine-Land Palatinate and Baden- Württemberg.

Diptera, Psilidae, Chyliza vittata, host plants, mycoheterotrophy, Orchidaceae, Yoania japonica, Gastrodia elata, phytophagous insects, stem-miner Abstract. Chyliza vittata is known to utilize leaves, stems and underground parts of several leafy and leafl ess orchids. Compared to the well-recorded feeding habits of C. vittata in Europe, its feeding habits in Japan are poorly studied. Thus, further records of its host plants and the habits of its larvae in Japan are likely to reveal the similarities and differences in its feeding habits in Europe and Japan. The current study reports C. vittata feeding on the stems of the mycoheterotrophic orchid Yoania japonica in central Japan. This study also showed that in spite of the small size of Yoania its reproductive success is not severely reduced when infested with C. vittata, whereas the robust stems of Gastrodia elata, which is its main host plant in Japan, are thought to be a defence against infestation by C. vittata. INTRODUCTION fl oribunda (Caprifoliaceae; Sugiura & Yamazaki, 2006; Yamaza- The Psilidae is a small family of acalyptrate Diptera in the su- ki & Sugiura, 2008), while C. vittata consumes the leaves, stems perfamily Diopsoidea, which includes about 400 described spe- and underground structures of several orchid genera, including cies (Freidberg & Shatalkin, 2008).

  • Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in Cultivated Blueberries
    ARTHROPOD BIOLOGY Biology of Parasitoids (Hymenoptera) Attacking Dasineura oxycoccana and Prodiplosis vaccinii (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in Cultivated Blueberries BLAIR J. SAMPSON,1 TIMOTHY A. RINEHART,1 OSCAR E. LIBURD,2 STEPHEN J. STRINGER,1 1 AND JAMES M. SPIERS Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 99(1): 113Ð120 (2006) ABSTRACT The blueberry gall midge, Dasineura oxycoccana (Johnson), and blueberry tip midge, Prodiplosis vaccinii (Felt) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), are recurring cecidomyiid pests of cultivated blueberries in the southern United States and Mediterranean Europe. Insecticides can give short-term control, but overlap in parasitoid phenologies indicates the potential for natural control of midge populations. Using a combination of laboratory rearing and mitochondrial DNA analysis of Þeld samples, we identiÞed Þve species of solitary endoparasitoids that killed 30Ð40% of midges. These species include at least three undescribed platygastrids in the genera Synopeas, Platygaster, and Inostemma. An undescribed prepupal idiobiont, Aprostocetus sp. (Eulophidae: Tetrastichinae) was the only midge parasitoid that was consistently active when rabbiteye blueberries, Vaccinium ashei Reade, were in ßower. Six percent of midge prepupae, half of which already contained platygastrid larvae, were parasitized by Aprostocetus.

These traits make them good models with which to study the role of olfaction in speciation.

Seed set in natural populations can be very low, and the reasons are not well known. Our objectives were: 1) describe the reproductive morphology in natural populations of purple prairie clover, 2) identify seed predators and parasitoids associated with natural popula- tions, and 3) determine seed set in natural and cultivated populations of purple prairie clover in eastern SD. Inflorescences were collected from natural and cultivated populations on the South Dakota State University Oak Lake Field Station (OLFS), a cultivated population near Aurora, SD, and from a cultivated population in McCrory Gardens at Brookings, SD. In natural populations at OLFS, normal seed set was ca. 10 %, frequency of unfertilized ovules was ca. 20 %, and seed predation was ca. 15 %. The most easily verifiable seed predator was Acanthoscelides seminulum (Horn). However, the most common insects on the spikes were adults of Kissingeria capitone (Kissinger) and larvae of an unidentified gall midge of genus Contarinia (Cecidomyiidae). The overwhelmingly most com- mon seed predators in the cultivated populations were K. capitone and Contarinia sp. The most common parasitoid reared from beetle larvae was Eurydinoteloides incerta (Ashmead).
