    Notes on the Systematic Position of Sinobirma Malaisei

    ©Entomologischer Verein Apollo e.V. Frankfurt am Main; download unter www.zobodat.at 3 6 9 Notes on the systematic position of Sinobirma malaisei (Bryk 1944) and the genera Tagoropsis, Maltagorea, and Pseudantheraea (Lepidoptera, Saturniidae: Saturniinae, Pseudapheliini) by Wolfgang A. NASSiGd) and Rolf G. O b e r p r ie l e r Abstract: The genus Sinobirma Bryk 1944 (stat. nov. as a genus), which was de­ scribed as a subgenus of the Australian genus Opodiphthera Wallengren 1859 (Saturniinae, Saturniini), is not at all closely related to the Australasian complex of Saturniidae. In contrast, it is a member of the African group of genera related to Tagoropsis Felder 1874 (Saturniinae, Pseudapheliini), as evidenced by the imaginal habitus and the structure of the male genitalia. There is evidence that Sinobirma malaisei (Bryk 1944) comb, nov., the sole species in the genus, known only from the type locality in Yunnan, may be closely related to some species of Maltagorea Bouyer 1993 from Madagascar. Thus, it seems possible that Malta­ gorea is a paraphyletic assembly rather than a monophyletic genus. Possible rela­ tionships in the group of genera are discussed. Anmerkungen zur systematischen Stellung vonSinobirma malaisei (B r y k 1944) und den GattungenTagoropsis, Maltagorea und Pseudantheraea (Lepidoptera, Saturniidae: Saturniinae, Pseudapheliini) Zusammenfassung: Sinobirma Bryk 1944, als Untergattung der australischen Gattung Opodiphthera Wallengren 1859 beschrieben, wird als eine separate Gat­ tung (stat. nov.) erkannt, die keine nähere Verwandtschaft zu den australisch-neu- guineanischen Arten rund um Opodiphthera (Saturniinae, Saturniini) aufweist. Statt dessen verweisen Imaginalhabitus und männliche Genitalmorphologie sie zu der af­ rikanischen Gattungsgruppe um Tagoropsis Felder 1974 (Saturniinae, Pseudaphe­ liini).

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

Gorb Department of Functional Morphology and Biomechanics, Institute of Zoology, Kiel University, Am Botanischen Garten 9, 24118 Kiel, Germany; [email protected] (E.Q.); [email protected] (S.N.G.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 12 June 2020; Accepted: 25 June 2020; Published: 28 June 2020 Abstract: Leaf insects (Phasmatodea: Phylliidae) exhibit perfect crypsis imitating leaves. Although the special appearance of the eggs of the species Phyllium philippinicum, which imitate plant seeds, has received attention in different taxonomic studies, the attachment capability of the eggs remains rather anecdotical. Weherein elucidate the specialized attachment mechanism of the eggs of this species and provide the first experimental approach to systematically characterize the functional properties of their adhesion by using different microscopy techniques and attachment force measurements on substrates with differing degrees of roughness and surface chemistry, as well as repetitive attachment/detachment cycles while under the influence of water contact. We found that a combination of folded exochorionic structures (pinnae) and a film of adhesive secretion contribute to attachment, which both respond to water. Adhesion is initiated by the glue, which becomes fluid through hydration, enabling adaption to the surface profile. Hierarchically structured pinnae support the spreading of the glue and reinforcement of the film. This combination aids the egg’s surface in adapting to the surface roughness, yet the attachment strength is additionally influenced by the egg’s surface chemistry, favoring hydrophilic substrates.

One of the important pests that attack corn plants is Spodoptera frugiperda J.E Smith. This pest is a new pest and is a major pest in corn. In pest control, farmers generally use synthetic chemicals. In an effort to reduce these negative impacts synthetic chemical, entomopathogenic nematode (NEP) was chosen as one of the more environmentally friendly control techniques. This study aims to obtain NEP isolates, population density and virulence against S. frugiperda. This research was conducted at the Plant Protection Laboratory, Bengkulu University from December 2019 to April 2020. This study used a Factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments consisted of NEP concentrations : 0 Jl / ml; 200 Jl / 1ml; 400 Jl / 2ml; 600 Jl / 3ml originating from Bengkulu and Kepahiang isolates. Each experiment consisted of 3 S. frugiperda larvae. The results showed that the NEP obtained from each region, namely the genus Steinermatidae. Population density of 9,005 NEP / 5ml in the Kepahiang area and 6,837 NEP / 5ml in the Bengkulu region. NEP virulence test against S. frugiperda larvae showed that 200 Jl / ml concentration was able to control S.

Poole1 & Michael D. Ulyshen2 & Scott Horn2 & Michelle Cram2 & Rabiu Olatinwo3 & Stephen Fraedrich2 Received: 15 June 2018 /Accepted: 18 December 2018 # This is a U.S. Government work and not under copyright protection in the US; foreign copyright protection may apply 2019 Abstract & Key message Agrilus macer is attacking sugarberry trees in the southeastern USA, a region from which few specimens have been previously collected. Despite attacking at high densities, this species appears to be a secondary pest, and there is no evidence it carries harmful fungal pathogens. & Context Because the genus Agrilus Curtis includes significant forest pests, the association of a poorly known species, Agrilus macer LeConte, with unexplained sugarberry (Celtis laevigata Willd.) mortality in the southeastern USA is a cause for alarm. & Aims This study sought to investigate the distribution and biology of A. macer and determine whether the species is a primary cause of observed tree mortality. & Methods Through a series of studies and literature searches, we documented aspects of A. macer biology and distribution while focusing on egg-laying behavior and searching for fungal pathogens associated with oviposition sites. & Results A. macer appears to be widely distributed throughout the southern USA, but most records are from Texas and Louisiana. Egg mass densities up to 1.2 masses per 10 cm2 (equivalent to ~ 1.9 eggs per cm2) were observed on trunks, branches, and exposed roots of dying C.
  • Complications with Controlling Insect Eggs

    Complications with Controlling Insect Eggs

    Chapter 5 Complications with Controlling Insect Eggs Brittany E. Campbell, Roberto M. Pereira and Philip G. Koehler Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/61848 Abstract Eggs are difficult to kill because of the unique structure of the eggshell, comprised of multiple layers that have evolved to allow the embryo to breathe while simultaneously limiting water loss. The eggshell has been shown to be an excellent barrier to insecticides, fungal pathogens, and some fumigants. The insect eggshell contains only a few areas that could allow penetration of insecticides, the aeropyles and micropyles, which seem to be either so few in number or small in size that they do not allow a sufficient amount of in‐ secticide through the eggshell. Resistance is also a contributing factor to control failures of insect eggs. Resistance in eggs has been documented in several insect species and a few studies have shown that some insect eggs produce elevated numbers of enzymes to break down insecticides. This chapter focuses on the structure and respiration of the insect egg‐ shell as a barrier to insecticides and also covers various management strategies against insect eggs. Lastly, we discuss the few documentations of resistance in insect eggs thus far. Keywords: Insect, egg, eggshell, resistance, management, insecticide 1. Introduction The predominant reproductive type of most insects is egg laying, called oviparity. There is limited literature on controlling insect eggs, although eggs are considered the most difficult life stage to kill. Examples of this can be found in both agricultural and urban pest species.
