Oxythrips occidentalis Distinguishing features This species has not been studied by the present authors. According to the description it is similar in structure to O. pini except that females have the tenth abdominal segment unusually elongate, almost tube-like. Variation in the length of this segment has been recorded within populations of O. strobilus from China (Cui et al., 2017). Related species Three species were described from North America in the genus Chilothrips, but Zhang et al. (2018) synonymised that genus with Oxythrips. The two species from California described by Stannard (1973), O. occidentalis and O. rotrameli, both have the tenth abdominal tergite exceptionally elongate, whereas C. pini was described from Maryland with a more normal tenth tergite. The only specimens from California that have been studied by the present authors agree with the character states given for C. pini. In view of the variation in length of the tenth tergite within a population of O. strobilus in China (Cui et al., 2017), there is a possibility that the two species from California are the same as the one from Maryland. Bailey (1957: 189) recorded the European species Oxythrips quercicola Bagnall from Pinus and Quercus in California, but subsequent examination of Bailey's specimens indicates that this was a misidentification. Biological data Recorded from Cupressus pygmaea [Cupressaceae], and presumably breeding in the male cones. Distribution data Known only from California.

MOUND1 & DESLEY J. TREE2 1CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences, PO Box 1700, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] 2Queensland Primary Industries Insect Collection (QDPC),Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation, Eco- sciences Precinct, GPO Box 46, Brisbane, Qld 4001, Australia. Abstract The following Thripidae taxa are newly recorded from northern Australia, and details are given for their recognition from related taxa: Oxythrips australopalmae sp. n., a likely pollinator of Normanbyia and Archontophoenix in Queensland but also taken on Cocos male flowers in New Britain; Projectothrips beverlyae sp. n. from Pandanus flowers; Rhamphothrips cissus sp. n. from the leaves of Cissus antarctica; R. amyae sp. n. from Callistemon leaves; R. tenuirostris (Karny) from Uncaria lanosai leaves; R. pandens Sakimura from Cassytha leaves; and Tusothrips setiprivus (Karny). Trichromothrips xanthius (Williams) is removed from the Australian list. Tusothrips atrichotus Reyes from the Philippines is synonymised with the widespread Asian species T. teinostomus Okajima. The previously unknown male of Rhamphothrips pandens is described from Western Australia. Key words: Oxythrips, Rhamphothrips, Projectothrips, Tusothrips, new species Introduction The purpose of this paper is to record for the first time from Australia several taxa of thripine Thysanoptera that emphasise further the close faunistic relationships between northern Australia and South East Asia (Mound, 2004; Mound & Tree, 2007), and to provide information on the host associations of some of the species involved.

The Canopy Arthropods of Old and Mature Pine Pinus Sylvestris in Norway
ECOGRAPHY 26: 490–502, 2003 The canopy arthropods of old and mature pine Pinus syl7estris in Norway Karl H. Thunes, John Skarveit and Ivar Gjerde Thunes, K. H., Skarveit, J. and Gjerde, I. 2003. The canopy arthropods of old and mature pine Pinus syl6estris in Norway. – Ecography 26: 490–502. We fogged 24 trees in two pine dominated forests in Norway with a synthetic pyrethroid in order to compare the canopy-dwelling fauna of arthropods between costal (Kvam) and boreal (Sigdal) sites and between old (250–330 yr) and mature (60–120 yr) trees at Sigdal. Almost 30 000 specimens were assigned to 510 species; only 93 species were present at both sites. Species diversity, as established by rarefaction, was similar in old and mature trees. However, the number of species new to Norway (including nine species new to science) was signiﬁcantly higher in the old trees. We suggest that the scarcity of old trees, habitat heterogeneity and structural differences between old and mature trees may explain these patterns. Productivity and topographic position at the site of growth explained the between-tree variation in species occurrence for the more abundant species, which were mainly Collembola and Oribatida. Species diversity was similar at the boreal and coastal sites, but there were clear differences in species composition. K. H. Thunes ([email protected]) and I.

Descripción De Nuevas Especies Animales De La Península Ibérica E Islas Baleares (1978-1994): Tendencias Taxonómicas Y Listado Sistemático
Graellsia, 53: 111-175 (1997) DESCRIPCIÓN DE NUEVAS ESPECIES ANIMALES DE LA PENÍNSULA IBÉRICA E ISLAS BALEARES (1978-1994): TENDENCIAS TAXONÓMICAS Y LISTADO SISTEMÁTICO M. Esteban (*) y B. Sanchiz (*) RESUMEN Durante el periodo 1978-1994 se han descrito cerca de 2.000 especies animales nue- vas para la ciencia en territorio ibérico-balear. Se presenta como apéndice un listado completo de las especies (1978-1993), ordenadas taxonómicamente, así como de sus referencias bibliográficas. Como tendencias generales en este proceso de inventario de la biodiversidad se aprecia un incremento moderado y sostenido en el número de taxones descritos, junto a una cada vez mayor contribución de los autores españoles. Es cada vez mayor el número de especies publicadas en revistas que aparecen en el Science Citation Index, así como el uso del idioma inglés. La mayoría de los phyla, clases u órdenes mues- tran gran variación en la cantidad de especies descritas cada año, dado el pequeño núme- ro absoluto de publicaciones. Los insectos son claramente el colectivo más estudiado, pero se aprecia una disminución en su importancia relativa, asociada al incremento de estudios en grupos poco conocidos como los nematodos. Palabras clave: Biodiversidad; Taxonomía; Península Ibérica; España; Portugal; Baleares. ABSTRACT Description of new animal species from the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands (1978-1994): Taxonomic trends and systematic list During the period 1978-1994 about 2.000 new animal species have been described in the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands.

An Overview of Chilli Thrips, Scirtothrips Dorsalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) Biology, Distribution and Management
Chapter 3 An Overview of Chilli Thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) Biology, Distribution and Management Vivek Kumar, Garima Kakkar, Cindy L. McKenzie, Dakshina R. Seal and Lance S. Osborne Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/55045 1. Introduction The industrial revolution, globalization and international trade liberalization are some of the important events that have afforded vast opportunities for invasive insect species to establish in new territories [1]. These invasive species, facing no challenge by their natural enemies, thrive well in the new environment [2]. In addition to the disturbance they cause to the biodiversity, pest invasion in any country results in increased pressure on biosecurity, national economy, and human health management systems [1, 3, 4]. Apart from economic loss in managing them, these pests pose a significant detrimental impact on tourism and recreational value of the region, which further adds in indirect economic damage to the nation [5]. Of this large group of invasive pests, thrips are one of the most important members. The invasive status gained by thrips across the globe is due to their high degree of polyphagy, wide host range and easy dispersal that can be anthropogenic or natural (wind-mediated). The earliest fossil record of order Thysanoptera dates back to the Late Triassic period, from the state of Virginia in the United States and the country Kazakhstan in Central Asia, but their abundance was rare until the Cretaceous period from which many specimens of Thysanoptera have been recorded [6]. The order Thysanoptera was given its current taxonomic rank by an Irish entomologist, A.

NG1 & L.A. MOUND 2 1Centre for Insect Systematics, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia. E-mail: [email protected] 2Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Nine species of Thripinae that inhabit bamboo are recorded from Malaysia. Clypeothrips idrisi sp.n. is described as a sec- ond species in the genus, and Trichromothrips bruncurrum Reyes is considered a syn.n. of Neocorynothrips asiaticus Ra- makrishna & Margabandhu. Six species are newly recorded from Malaysia: N. asiaticus, Okajimaella tubercula, Simulothrips banpoti, Stenchaetothrips bambusicola, S. bambusae and S. spinalis. Seven species of Stenchaetothrips are now known from Malaysia. Illustrations and descriptions of each species are provided. Key words: Poaceae, bamboo, new species, Clypeothrips, Neocorynothrips, Okajimaella, Simulothrips, Stenchaetothrips Introduction Bamboo is a common term that is applied to the species of more than 40 genera of plants in the family Poaceae, the same plant family as grasses and cereal crops such as rice, maize, wheat, oats, and barley. Bamboo is thus not a single botanical group, but represents a series of relatively unrelated, large woody grasses found widely throughout the tropics. Some species of Thysanoptera that are found on bamboo exhibit high specificity to these plants, although entomologists commonly do not identify the genus or species of “bamboo” from which they collect insects.

ANDREWS EXPERIMENTAL FOREST, WESTERN CASCADE MOUNTAINS, OREGON: A SURVEY OF ARTHROPODS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CANOPY OF OLD-GROWTH Pseudotsuga Menziesii D.J. Voegtlin FORUT REJEARCH LABORATORY SCHOOL OF FORESTRY OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY Since 1941, the Forest Research Laboratory--part of the School of Forestry at Oregon State University in Corvallis-- has been studying forests and why they are like they are. A staff or more than 50 scientists conducts research to provide information for wise public and private decisions on managing and using Oregons forest resources and operating its wood-using industries. Because of this research, Oregons forests now yield more in the way of wood products, water, forage, wildlife, and recreation. Wood products are harvested, processed, and used more efficiently. Employment, productivity, and profitability in industries dependent on forests also have been strengthened. And this research has helped Oregon to maintain a quality environment for its people. Much research is done in the Laboratorys facilities on the campus. But field experiments in forest genetics, young- growth management, forest hydrology, harvesting methods, and reforestation are conducted on 12,000 acres of School forests adjacent to the campus and on lands of public and private cooperating agencies throughout the Pacific Northwest. With these publications, the Forest Research Laboratory supplies the results of its research to forest land owners and managers, to manufacturers and users of forest products, to leaders of government and industry, and to the general public. The Author David J. Voegtlin is Assistant Taxonomist at the Illinois Natural History Survey, Champaign, Illinois.

Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella Occidentalis [Pergande])1 Jeffrey D
ENY-883 Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis [Pergande])1 Jeffrey D. Cluever, Hugh A. Smith, Joseph E. Funderburk, and Galen Frantz2 Introduction Taxonomy Many species of thrips can be found in Florida. These The order Thysanoptera consists of more than 5,000 species include adventive species like Frankliniella occidentalis, in two suborders, Tubulifera and Terebrantia. The suborder Frankliniella schultzei, Thrips palmi, and Scirtothrips Tubulifera has over 3,000 species in one family, Phlaeo- dorsalis. Native species include Frankliniella tritici and thripidae. The suborder Terebrantia consists of over 2,000 Frankliniella bispinosa. Frankliniella occidentalis is a pest species in seven families. Thripidae is the largest of these of several crops throughout Florida and the world and is families, with about 1,700 species. It includes genera such capable of causing economic loss (Fig. 1). as Scirtothrips, Thrips, and Frankliniella (Mound and Teulon 1995; Mound et al. 2009). Synonyms The original name for Frankliniella occidentalis was Euthrips occidentalis Pergande 1895 (Hoddle et al. 2012; GBIF 2014). This species has a high number of synonymies as a result of the variability that Frankliniella occidentalis has in structure and color in its native range. Some other synonyms are (CABI 2014): Euthrips helianthi Moulton 1911 Euthrips tritici var. californicus Moulton 1911 Figure 1. Western flower thrips adult.

Douglas was reviewed and approved* by the following: Dr. John Tooker Associate Professor of Entomology & Extension Specialist Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Dr. Mary Barbercheck Professor of Entomology Dr. Christopher Mullin Professor of Entomology Dr. Armen Kemanian Associate Professor of Production Systems and Modeling Dr. Gary Felton Professor of Entomology Head of the Department of Entomology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Integrated Pest Management (IPM) requires an understanding of the interaction between chemical and biological control tactics. In recent decades, seed treatment with neonicotinoids has become increasingly widespread in field crop production, but the full ecological and agronomic effects of these insecticides are still far from understood. This dissertation helps to fill this knowledge gap by describing the use of neonicotinoid seed treatments in U.S. agriculture, and examining the influence of these insecticides on pest and predatory invertebrates. In Chapter 1, I synthesized data from various government sources and pesticide use labels to estimate the national use of seed-applied neonicotinoids in the United States. In Chapters 2 and 3, I used laboratory and field studies together with insecticide residue testing to explore the movement of seed-applied neonicotinoids through a crop-slug-beetle food chain and its agronomic consequences in Pennsylvania no-till soybean and corn systems.
