A Revision of the Neotropical Genera Molynocoelia Giglio-Tos, Pseudophorellia Lima, and Alujamyia, N BIOTAXONOMY OF TEPHRITOIDEA Isr. J. Entomol. Vol. 35-36, 2005/6, pp. 35-145 A Revision of the Neotropical genera Molynocoelia Giglio-Tos, Pseudophorellia Lima, and Alujamyia, n. gen. (Diptera: Tephritidae) Allen L. Norrbom ABSTRACT The genera Molynocoelia Giglio-Tos and Pseudophorellia Lima are revised, and the new genus Alujamyia is described. These three genera are here recognized as the Molynocoelia group. All three genera are restricted to the Neotropical Region. Alujamyia includes four species from the Greater Antilles and northern Mesoamerica: A. bella, n. sp. (Mexico); A. farri, n. sp. (Cuba, Jamaica); A. isolata, n. sp. (Hispaniola, Puerto Rico); and A. sexvittata, n. sp. (Guatemala, Mexico). Molynocoelia includes four species from Mesoamerica and Brazil: M. grossa, n. sp. (Costa Rica); M. lutea Giglio-Tos (Mexico to Costa Rica); M. separata, n. sp. (Costa Rica); and M. plumosa, n. sp. (Brazil). Pseudophorellia includes 25 species from Hispaniola and Mexico to Bolivia: P. acrostichalis, n. sp. (Bolivia); P. antica, n. sp. (Costa Rica); P. anypsilon, n. sp. (Colombia, Costa Rica, Panamá); P. bipunctata, n. sp. (Ecuador); P. brevilobata, n. sp. (Peru); P. confluens, n. sp. (Venezuela); P. decora, n. sp. (Costa Rica); P. diffusa, n. sp. (Costa Rica); P. distincta, n. sp. (Colombia); P. enkerlini, n. sp. (southern Mexico, Costa Rica); P. fenestrata, n. sp.

Keys to the species of each genus are provided, as are illustrations of pertinent diagnostic characters for all species. Phylogenetic relationships of the Molynocoelia group are analyzed. The group may be most closely related to the Paleotropical genera Callistomyia and Alincocallistomyia, and this larger clade is possibly related to the Toxotrypanini or Adramini. A cladistic analysis supports the Molynocoelia group, with Alujamyia, Molynocoelia, and Pseudophorellia as monophyletic taxa, and tests hypotheses of relationships among the species within each genus. INTRODUCTION Alujamyia, n. gen., Molynocoelia Giglio-Tos, and Pseudophorellia Lima are endemic Neotropical genera of fruit flies that are here hypothesized to be closely related and are recognized as the Molynocoelia group. Except for their descriptions and a brief review by Foote (1980), the treatment of Molynocoelia and Pseudophorellia in the previous tephritid literature has been limited to inclusions in keys and catalogs. The group is poorly known, as is illustrated by the fact that only three of the 33 species here recognized were previously described. Their biology is almost totally unknown, except that most if not all of the species appear to be restricted to primary forests, and at least some of them are presumably wasp mimics based on their appearance. Their host plants are unknown. This revision was undertaken to promote the study of these little-known flies, and to further resolve the relationships among the Neotropical genera of Tephritidae. MATERIALS AND METHODS Morphological terminology follows White et al. (1999) and McAlpine (1981). Wing bands are labeled on Figs. 14, 18, 39, and 71. Acronyms for the institutions where specimens are deposited are as follows: AMNH — American Museum of Natural History, New York, USA CBF — Colección Boliviana de Fauna, Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, La Paz, Bolivia CMP — Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, USA IEXV — Instituto de Ecología, Xalapa, Mexico IML — Instituto Miguel Lillo, Tucumán, Argentina IMZ — Museo ed Istituto di Zoologia Sistematica, Universitá di Torino, Italy INBio — Instituto de Biodiversidad, Santo Domingo de Heredia, Costa Rica INPA — Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia, Manaus, Brazil IOC — Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil IZAM — Universidad Central de Venezuela, Maracay, Venezuela LACM—Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Los Angeles, USA MCZ — Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, USA MEUP — Museo de Entomología, Universidad de Panamá, Panamá 36 Norrbom / Revision of Molynocoelia, Pseudophorellia and Alujamyia SVM—Sanidad Vegetal, SARH, Mexico City, Mexico TAUI — Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel UCD — University of California, Davis, USA USNM — National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, USA USP — Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil USU — Utah State University, Logan, USA UVGC — Universidad del Valle, Guatemala City, Guatemala The depository is the same as in the barcode number unless another acronym is indicated preceding the number. Methods used for analysis of phylogenetic relationships are discussed in that section. The data were analyzed using PAUP version 4.0 beta (Swofford, 2000). The cladogram figures were produced with Winclada (© K.C. Nixon, 2002). TAXONOMY Key to the genera of the Molynocoelia group 1. Basal section of vein Cu and usually vein Cu1 setulose dorsally; abdominal syntergite 1+2 with 1 to several “richardiid-like” lateral setae larger than others (Figs. 55-57, 96-99); ocellar seta small and weak or absent (Figs. 55-59); phallus with bilobed spiculose membranous basal lobe on glans (Figs. 107-108) ............................ Pseudophorellia Lima -. Basal section of vein Cu and vein Cu1 without dorsal setulae; abdominal syntergite 1+2 without outstanding lateral setae (Figs. 11, 29-32, 36); ocellar seta well developed (Figs. 1- 3); phallus without membranous basal lobe on glans .......................................................... 2 2. Wing without radial-medial band (Figs. 12-18); crossveins R-M and DM-Cu covered by same band (subapical band); arista bare or with few minute basal hairs (Fig. 1); propleuron with outstanding seta, at least twice as long as setulae (Fig. 9); acrostichal seta absent (Figs. 5-8, 29) ....................................................................................................Alujamyia, n. gen. -. Wing with short radial-medial band (Figs. 37-41) often connected to discal band to form Y- shaped mark; crossveins R-M and DM-Cu covered by different bands; arista plumose (Figs. 2-3); propleuron without outstanding seta, setulae subequal; acrostichal seta present (Figs. 30-32) .......................................................................................... Molynocoelia Giglio-Tos Alujamyia Norrbom, n. gen. Type species: Alujamyia sexvittata, n. sp., by present designation. Diagnosis Alujamyia differs from other New World genera of Tephritidae by the following combination of characters: arista nearly bare, with only a few minute basal hairs; thorax mostly bare of microtrichia; propleuron with outstanding seta; acrostichal seta absent; radial-medial band absent; and crossvein R-M covered by subapical band. In the key to genera of Trypetinae of Foote (1980), species of Alujamyia will run to couplet 14. They differ from Pseudophorellia as indicated in the key above, and from Hetschkomyia Hendel and Ischyropteron Bigot in lacking acrostichal setae (the acrostichal seta is present in the latter genera, not absent as indicated by Foote 1980). 37 BIOTAXONOMY OF TEPHRITOIDEA 12 34 Figs. 1-4.

[email protected]. RESUMEN. El Psilido Asiático de los Cítricos actualmente es la principal plaga de la citricultura en el mundo por ser vector de la bacteria Candidatus liberobacter que ocasiona el Huanglongbing. Tanto adultos como ninfas de cuarto y quinto instar pueden ser vectores de esta enfermedad por lo que su control es básico para minimizar este problema. Se realizó esta investigación para conocer el comportamiento de los estados inmaduros de la plaga a varias alternativas químicas de control. El análisis de los datos de mortalidad muestra que las poblaciones de Diaphorina tratadas con: clorpirifós, dimetoato, clotianidin, dinotefurán, thiametoxan, endosulfán, imidacloprid, lambdacialotrina, zetacipermetrina, y lambdacialotrina registraron mortalidades superiores al 85%. Por otra parte, las poblaciones tratadas con: pymetrozine (pyridine azomethines) y spirotetramat (regulador de crecimiento de la síntesis de lípidos) a las dosis evaluadas no presentaron efecto tóxico por contacto o efecto fumigante sobre la población antes mencionada. Palabras Clave: psílido, Diaphorina citri, ninfas, insecticidas. ABSTRACT. The Asian Citrus Psyllid, vector of Candidatus Liberobacter, bacteria that causes Huanglongbing disease, is currently the major pest of citrus in the world. Both, adults and nymphs of fourth and fifth instar can be vectors this pathogen, and therefore their control is essential to prevent increase and spread of disease. This research was carried out to evaluate the biological response of the immature stages of the pest to several chemical alternatives.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the principle demographic parameters in the chestnut weevil, Curculio elephas, to predict the best oviposition strategy in terms of evolutionary trade-offs. Facing a site for oviposition, a female insect must take three decisions which summarize oviposition strategy : 1) where to lay her eggs; 2) when to lay, and 3) how many eggs to lay in each site (Charnov & Skinner, 1985). Oviposition strategies determine the quality (fitness) of offspring and growth rate in the population. We have shown, from an oviposition behaviour study that a Curculio elephas female does not seem time-limited for egg-laying. In natural conditions, a female lays one or two eggs per chestut in 77% of infested fruits; she selects her oviposition sites, avoids those containing larvae of the chestnut moth, Cydia splendana, but not those already infested by weevil immatures.

Simple Summary: Tephritid fruit flies comprise pests of high agricultural relevance and species that have emerged as global invaders. Chemical signals play key roles in multiple steps of a fruit fly’s life. The production and detection of chemical cues are critical in many behavioural interactions of tephritids, such as finding mating partners and hosts for oviposition. The characterisation of the molecules involved in these behaviours sheds light on understanding the biology and ecology of fruit flies and in addition provides a solid base for developing novel species-specific pest control tools by exploiting and/or interfering with chemical perception. Here we provide a comprehensive Citation: Scolari, F.; Valerio, F.; overview of the extensive literature on different types of chemical cues emitted by tephritids, with Benelli, G.; Papadopoulos, N.T.; a focus on the most relevant fruit fly pest species.

  • The Ohio Journal of Science — Index 1951-1970
    THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE — INDEX 1951-1970 JANE L. FORSYTH AND CHRISTINE M. GORTA Department of Geology, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403 INTRODUCTION It is almost 20 years since the first General Index to The Ohio Journal of Science, which covered the issues from the beginning (1900) through 1950, was published (Miller, E. M., 1953, published by The Ohio State University and The Ohio Academy of Science). It is time, therefore, for another general index, dealing with issues appearing since 1950. This is that index. Unlike the first index, there is no separate listing of full references by author; rather, this is simply a combining of all the entries from all the yearly indexes from 1951 through 1972. Basically these original entries remain unchanged here, though mistakes found in a few were corrected, and some have been slightly reworded in order to fit better into this multiple listing. Entries relating to book reviews occur only for the years of 1963 through 1970, because book reviews were not included in the earlier indexes. It should also be noted that, though a few of these books represent merely a reprinting of older, out-of-date books, these books are not so identified in the entries in this index. Preparation of this index has been mostly handled by Miss Christine M. Gorta, under the direction of Dr. Jane L. Forsyth, Editor of The Ohio Journal of Science from 1964 to 1973, but others have also contributed to this work—mainly Misses Lauran Boyles and Laura Witkowski—contributers whose efforts are gratefully acknowledged.

FOOTE F\ UNITED STATES TECHNICAL PREPARED BY I\U.~), DEPARTMENT OF BULLETIN SCIENCE AND ~ AGRICULTURE NUMBER 1600 EDUCATION ADMINISTRATION ABSTRACT Foote, Richard H. 1980. Fruit fly genera south of the United States. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Technical Bulletin 1600,79 pp. The 88 genera of fruit flies in Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and South America are discussed. Keys to all genera are pre­ sented, and a synonymy, diagnosis, and discussion of each genus follow. Included for each genus is information about its distribution, its rela­ tionship to other genera, its composition in terms of the species belong­ ingto it, aids to its recognition, and references for identifying its species. Several diagnostic characteristics and the wing of at least one species in almost every genus have been illustrated. Four genera, previously re­ garded as valid, have been synonymized with others, and three addi­ tional genera, long recorded from the region, are shown not to occur in the New World or to belong to other fly families. Fruit flies comprise the most economically important family of plant-inhabiting Diptera, consid­ ering the potential for agricultu"'al damage by species of such genera as Anast-repha, Ceratitis, Dacu.s, andRhagoletis.

Mex. (n.s.) 84 (2001) 10. THE SPECIES DESCRIBED BY CARL EDUARD ADOLPH GERSTAECKER Carl Eduard Adolph Gerstaecker died on July 20, 1895 at Greifswald, at the age of 67. He was educated for the medical profession and took his degree, but devoted himself to zoology, especially to entomology. For many years he was keeper of the entomological department of the Berlin Natural History Museum and also a professor of zoology at the University of Berlin. About the year 1876, differences with the then director of the Berlin Museum induced him to resign his appointment in Berlin, and he subsequently accepted the professorship of Zoology at Greifswald, which he held until his death. Gerstaecker was an industrious and thorough worker in all departments of entomology. Among his principal works may be noted the “Arthropoda” in the “Handbuch der Zoologie” (1863) and the same phylum in Bronn´s “Klassen und Ordnungen der Tierreichs”.
