New Su^bBpeoies, a Cherry Pest in Colorado. Introduction Insect pests of a cultivated crop may come from tv/o sour­ ces : (l) Another locality or country where this crop has "been grown and nests are definitely established, (2) The same sec­ tion where native insect species occur that may find the intro­ duced crop plant to their liking. We hear a great deal now, and riglitly so, about the introduction of new pests. The pre­ vention of this very thing has becoino one of the most important fields in economic entomoloay. This emphasis, hov/ever, causes us to overlook the possibility of danger in the immediate vicin­ ity. It can be expected that such polyphaeous insects as grass­ hoppers, cutworms and vdreworms v;ill attack most plants of a similar nature to their native hosts, but there is always the possibility of a species with a restricted food habit taking to a cultivated host that is similar to its native host. Most any te3:.t book on entomology will cite numerous e:':ajiiplOB of this, such as the transfer of the apple magt',ot, Rhafioletis pomonella v/alsh, from the native haws, or Crataegus, to the apyle, and the development of the pliim curculio, Conotrachelus nenuphar Herbst, a native insect on the wild plums of America, to probably the most serious pest of the peach, an imported fruit. Probably an outstanding example of a pest of this nature for Colorado people is the Colorado potato beetle. IVith the introduction of the potato into Colorado, the insect iminediately found the plant •> 5 » more to its liking than the eand bur, Solanum rostraturn, its native host. Before this the insect was confined to the local­ ities where the sand bur grew as a weed, but the potato suddenly provided almost unlimited possibilities for spread, and, as a result, the Colorado potato beetle is a pest in practically all potato growing areas in ITorth Amerioa, and has recently be­ come established in some foreign countries. The insect still goes unnoticed on the sand bur, but the example serves to remind us that there are undoubtedly thousands of other unnoticed species that are potential enemies of man. The rather recent introduction of the sour cherry as a com­ mercial crop into Northern Colorado, where wild cherries grow abundantly in the foothill regions of the mountains, isjarallel- ing the introduction of the cultivated Solanum. the potato, into the habitat of the wild Solanum. the sand bur. Within the short period of the experience of the writer, at least two native in­ sects have become major pests. This paper is a treatise on one of these. The work is by no means complete, but the same can be said in regard to many of our pests of much longer standing. Since the form involved seems to be new to science, it seems ad­ visable to dieCUBS the entire genus to clear up the relationship to closely related species^ Acknowledgmen ts The writer is indebted to a number of workers for assistance given during the time of these studies. Thanks are hereby ex­ tended to Dr.

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.

  • Annotated Checklist of the Weevils (Curculionidae Sensu Lato ) of North America, Central America, and the West Indies (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)
    Annotated checklist of the weevils (Curculionidae sensu lato ) of North America, Central America, and the West Indies (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) Charles W. O'Brien and Guillermo J. Wibmer INTRODUCTION This checklist treats the names of the 843 genera and 7,068 species (as well as their synonyms) currently recognized as valid that are found in the New World north of South America (except for those from Trinidad and Tobago which will be considered in a subsequent publication on South American Curculionidae sensu lato). The idea for a weevil checklist originated with Ross Arnett, Jr. as part of the North American Beetle Fauna Project. When this project was terminated in 1980, we decided to expand the scope of the checklist and publish it in an annotated form. While it owes its origin to the NABFP it is published independently of that organization. The checklists of the weevils of North America (Leng 1920, Leng and Mutchler 1927 and 1933, Blackwelder 1939, and Blackwelder and Blackwelder 1948), and of Mexico, Central America, the West Indies and South America (Blackwelder 1947) have become increasingly outdated because of numerous revisions and descriptions of new taxa. In this list we have added many new distribution records as well. We have attempted to follow the current classifications of most specialists, as published. For this reason the classification used here is not identical with that of the Coleopterorum Catalogus, the two checklists mentioned above, nor that used by Kissinger (1964). We have tried to verify all citations by checking original references and those "Not seen" are so marked in the bibliography.
