  • Forest Insect Conditions in the United States 1966
    FOREST INSECT CONDITIONS IN THE UNITED STATES 1966 FOREST SERVICE ' U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Foreword This report is the 18th annual account of the scope, severity, and trend of the more important forest insect infestations in the United States, and of the programs undertaken to check resulting damage and loss. It is compiled primarily for managers of public and private forest lands, but has become useful to students and others interested in outbreak trends and in the location and extent of pest populations. The report also makes possible n greater awareness of the insect prob­ lem and of losses to the timber resource. The opening section highlights the more important conditions Nationwide, and each section that pertains to a forest region is prefaced by its own brief summary. Under the Federal Forest Pest Control Act, a sharing by Federal and State Governments the costs of surveys and control is resulting in a stronger program of forest insect and disease detection and evaluation surveys on non-Federal lands. As more States avail themselves of this financial assistance from the Federal Government, damage and loss from forest insects will become less. The screening and testing of nonpersistent pesticides for use in suppressing forest defoliators continued in 1966. The carbamate insecticide Zectran in a pilot study of its effectiveness against the spruce budworm in Montana and Idaho appeared both successful and safe. More extensive 'tests are planned for 1967. Since only the smallest of the spray droplets reach the target, plans call for reducing the spray to a fine mist. The course of the fine spray, resulting from diffusion and atmospheric currents, will be tracked by lidar, a radar-laser combination.

  • Molecular Phylogenetics of the Superfamily Curculionoidea (Insecta: Coleoptera)
    Molecular Phylogenetics of the Superfamily Curculionoidea (Insecta: Coleoptera) Conrad Paulus Dias Trafford Gillett A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia Norwich, Norfolk, England March 2014 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there-from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 1 Molecular Phylogenetics of the Superfamily Curculionoidea (Insecta: Coleoptera) Conrad Paulus Dias Trafford Gillett March 2014 Thesis abstract This thesis examines higher-level evolutionary history within the superfamily Curculionoidea, the most speciose family-level taxon, which includes beetles commonly known as weevils. This is achieved using a phylogenetic approach incorporating the largest datamatrix yet employed for weevil molecular systematics, and includes an investigation into the prospect of obtaining short phylogenetically informative amplicons from archival museum specimens. Newly obtained DNA sequence data is analysed from a variety of mitochondrial and nuclear loci, including 92 mitogenomes assembled through the approach of next-generation sequencing of pooled genomic DNA. The resulting trees are used to test previous morphological- and molecular-based hypotheses of weevil relationships and classification schemes. Mitogenomic-derived trees reveal topologies that are highly congruent with previous molecular studies, but that conflict with some morphological hypotheses. Strong nodal support strengthens inferences into the relationships amongst most weevil families and suggests that the largest family, the Curculionidae, is monophyletic, if the subfamily Platypodinae is excluded.

  • Coleoptera: Curculionidae1
    Pacific Insects Monograph 27: 225-259 10 November 1971 ENTOMOLOGY OF THE AUCKLANDS AND OTHER ISLANDS SOUTH OF NEW ZEALAND: COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE1 By G. Kuschel2 Abstract: This is a supplementary report to that published on the Curculionidae from Auckland, Campbell, Antipodes, and Snares Islands (no species are known from Bounty or Macquarie) and is based on some 2000 additional specimens collected during further trips to the islands. The native fauna now contains 17 genera and 35 species belonging to 9 subfamilies; 4 genera (23.53%) and 21 species (60.0%) being endemic. All genera and species have their closest relatives in the New Zealand mainland. A significant fact is that none of the true wood borers, flower dwellers, or leaf miners is endemic, and that the larvae of all the endemic species live either in the soil (76.33%) or in decaying plants (23.67%). Further discussions on the composition of the fauna are presented. The fauna is also compared with that of other cold-temperate areas of the southern hemisphere. Apart from a general key to the genera, separate keys to the species are given for the Aucklands, Campbell, and the Snares. A few nomenclatural changes were necessary after an examination of some type material previously not available. INTRODUCTION Since the last paper on the subantarctic weevil fauna was published (Kuschel 1964) further parties to several islands have obtained some 2000 additional specimens which included four new species. I had the opportunity of participating in trips to Adams I, South of Auckland I, Campbell I, and Antipodes I. My primaiy object was to find out a little more about the environmental con­ ditions and feeding habits of each species as well as to gather large amounts of leaf litter, swards, mats, and cushion plants for the extraction of the ground and soil fauna, and some wood samples for rearing the wood borers and their associates.

Weevils are a diverse group of plant-feeding beetles and occur in most terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. This chapter documents the diversity and distribution of 295 weevil species found in the Canadian Prairies Ecozone belonging to the families Dryophthoridae (9 spp.), Brachyceridae (13 spp.), and Curculionidae (273 spp.). Weevils in the Prairies Ecozone represent approximately 34% of the total number of weevil species found in Canada. Notable species with distributions restricted to the Prairies Ecozone, usually occurring in one or two provinces, are candidates for potentially rare or endangered status. Résumé. Les charançons forment un groupe diversifié de coléoptères phytophages et sont présents dans la plupart des écosystèmes terrestres et dulcicoles. Le présent chapitre décrit la diversité et la répartition de 295 espèces de charançons vivant dans l’écozone des prairies qui appartiennent aux familles suivantes : Dryophthoridae (9 spp.), Brachyceridae (13 spp.) et Curculionidae (273 spp.). Les charançons de cette écozone représentent environ 34 % du total des espèces de ce groupe présentes au Canada. Certaines espèces notables, qui ne se trouvent que dans cette écozone — habituellement dans une ou deux provinces — mériteraient d’être désignées rares ou en danger de disparition.

Simple Summary: Accurate and rapid species identification is crucial in early monitoring and in- tervention of a pest, especially for a new and emerging pest. Here, the first detailed morphological features of Rhynchaenus maculosus at four life-cycle stages are reported for traditional species iden- tification. Morphology-based identification is not only time-consuming but often inconclusive for closely related sibling species, juveniles, and even not feasible in the absence of key morphological characters. To overcome the limitations of traditional methods in species identification, DNA bar- Citation: Yang, R.-S.; Ni, M.-Y.; codes (mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit 1, CO1) were successfully used to identify the Gu, Y.-J.; Xu, J.-S.; Jin, Y.; Zhang, J.-H.; pupal and larval specimens as R.
