Rhagoletis Completa
Prepared by CABI and EPPO for the EU under Contract 90/399003 Data Sheets on Quarantine Pests Rhagoletis completa IDENTITY • Rhagoletis completa Name: Rhagoletis completa Cresson Synonyms: Rhagoletis suavis subsp. completa Cresson Taxonomic position: Insecta: Diptera: Tephritidae Common names: Walnut husk fly (English) Mouche des brous du noyer (French) Notes on taxonomy and nomenclature: In the previous edition of this data sheet (EPPO/CABI, 1992), R. suavis was treated as a synonym of R. completa. In this edition, it is treated as a separate species (see below). Bayer computer code: RHAGCO EU Annex designation: I/A1 • Rhagoletis suavis Name: Rhagoletis suavis (Loew) Synonyms: Trypeta suavis Loew Bayer computer code: RHAGSU EU Annex designation: I/A1 HOSTS • Rhagoletis completa The principal hosts are Juglans spp. In North America, J. nigra, J. californica and J. hindsii are attacked (Bush, 1966). Under certain conditions peaches (Prunus persica) may be attacked (Bush, 1966) but the significance of this is not clear. Wild hosts are other Juglans spp. (Foote, 1981). In the EPPO region, the only economically significant host might be walnuts (J. regia). Although there was only one old record, possibly a misidentification, on this host in North America (Cresson, 1929), there were records of high levels of infestation of walnut fruits in 1991 in some Italian orchards. • Rhagoletis suavis Recorded from Juglans ailanthifolia, J. cinerea, J. nigra and walnuts (J. regia) (Bush, 1966). Peaches (Prunus persica) are also an occasional host (Dean, 1969). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION R. completa and R. suavis are indigenous to North America. The former species has very recently been introduced into the EPPO region and has become established in a limited area. -

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. -
Pest Categorisation of Liriomyza Bryoniae
SCIENTIFIC OPINION ADOPTED: 30 January 2020 doi: 10.2903/j.efsa.2020.6038 Pest categorisation of Liriomyza bryoniae EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH), Claude Bragard, Katharina Dehnen-Schmutz, Francesco Di Serio, Paolo Gonthier, Marie-Agnes Jacques, Josep Anton Jaques Miret, Annemarie Fejer Justesen, Christer Sven Magnusson, Panagiotis Milonas, Juan A Navas-Cortes, Stephen Parnell, Roel Potting, Philippe Lucien Reignault, Hans-Hermann Thulke, Wopke Van der Werf, Antonio Vicent Civera, Jonathan Yuen, Lucia Zappala, Ewelina Czwienczek, Franz Streissl and Alan MacLeod Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Liriomyza bryoniae (Diptera: Agromyzidae) for the EU. L. bryoniae (the tomato leaf miner; EPPO code: LIRIBO) is a polyphagous Palaearctic species which probably originates from southern Europe, where it occurs commonly outdoors and has now spread to many parts of central and northern Europe, where it is only found in greenhouses. The species is also reported in North Africa and in several countries in Asia. L. bryoniae can have multiple overlapping generations per year. Eggs are inserted in the leaves of host plants. Three larval instars feed internally within leaves and stems of field vegetables. Pupation generally takes place in the soil and very occasionally on the upper or lower surfaces of the leaves. L. bryoniae is regulated in the EU by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 (Annex III) in specific protected zones only (the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland in the United Kingdom). However, L. bryoniae is not specifically mentioned in any of the annexes of Commission Implementing Regulation 2019/2072 concerning controls regarding certain protected zones. -

First Record of an Invasive Fruit Fly Belonging to Bactrocera Dorsalis Complex (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Europe
insects Article First Record of an Invasive Fruit Fly Belonging to Bactrocera dorsalis Complex (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Europe Francesco Nugnes 1 , Elia Russo 1, Gennaro Viggiani 2 and Umberto Bernardo 1,* 1 CNR, Institute for Sustainable Plant Protection, 80055 Portici, Italy; [email protected] (F.N.); [email protected] (E.R.) 2 Department of Agriculture, University of Naples “Federico II”, 80055 Portici, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0817-7536-5813 Received: 29 October 2018; Accepted: 29 November 2018; Published: 3 December 2018 Abstract: Emerging pests are increasingly threatening fruit orchard health across the Mediterranean area. Tephritidae, representing serious threats for Europe, are numerous, and the fruit flies Bactrocera zonata and those belonging to Bactrocera dorsalis complex are among the most alarming species. These species are highly polyphagous and B. zonata has already spread to some Mediterranean countries. Due to these ongoing threats, in the Campania Region (southern Italy), a survey with traps and infested fruits analysis was performed with the aim of detecting the presence of species of Bactrocera dorsalis complex. In two mixed fruit-trees fields, some adults belonging to a species of Bactrocera were captured in traps baited with the highly attractive male lure (methyl eugenol). They were distinguished from similar-looking Bactrocera spp. by morphological and molecular comparative analyses. Considering the existing morphological keys, specimens were tentatively identified as B. dorsalis but molecular characterization with COI split them into two clades. Some specimens were grouped with B. dorsalis similar to B. kandiensis and B. kandiensis and others in a clade including B. -

During the past 10–15 years, three species, Rhagoletis batava Hering, 1958, R. cingu- lata (Loew, 1862), and R. completa Cresson, 1929, have rapidly expanded their distribution range in Europe. We traced the potential route of an aggressive R. batava population movement into Europe, and it is postulated that this R. batava race originated from Siberia. R. batava was initially documented outside its natural range in 2001 in the European part of the Russian Federation. Later, this species was recorded in other territories to the west of Russia — Belarus (2010), Lat- via (2011), Lithuania (2012), Germany (2013), and Poland (2014). In Germany and Poland, R. batava probably has both native and alien status. Key words: alien species, fruit flies, population expansion, sea buckthorn pest. -
Pest Categorisation of Grapholita Packardi
SCIENTIFIC OPINION ADOPTED: 17 May 2018 doi: 10.2903/j.efsa.2018.5304 Pest categorisation of Grapholita packardi EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH), Michael Jeger, Claude Bragard, David Caffier, Thierry Candresse, Elisavet Chatzivassiliou, Katharina Dehnen-Schmutz, Gianni Gilioli, Jean-Claude Gregoire, Josep Anton Jaques Miret, Maria Navajas Navarro, Bjorn€ Niere, Stephen Parnell, Roel Potting, Trond Rafoss, Vittorio Rossi, Gregor Urek, Ariena Van Bruggen, Wopke Van der Werf, Jonathan West, Stephan Winter, Virag Kertesz and Alan MacLeod Abstract The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Grapholita packardi Zeller, (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), for the EU. G. packardi is a well-defined and distinguishable species. It is widely distributed in the USA and has a restricted distribution in Canada and Mexico. It is recognised as a pest of blueberry and cherry, and has occasionally been reported in apple, pear and plum. It is cited on quince and wild rosaceous plants such as Crataegus. Larvae feed on blueberry and cherry fruits internally and overwinter in pruned twigs. External evidence of infestation of cherries by young larvae is occasionally not detectable. In apple, fruit damage is less common; rather, the pest bores into terminal shoots of nursery stock and young orchard trees. Feeding damage spoils fruit quality and marketability and reduces crop yield. G. packardi is not known to occur in the EU and is listed in Annex IIAI of Council Directive 2000/29/EC under the synonym Enarmonia packardi. Host plants for planting and infested fruit could potentially provide a pathway into the EU. Considering the climatic similarities between North America and Europe, and that wild and commercial hosts occur widely within the EU, G. -

(Diptera: Tephritidae), which might induce new pest dynamics. In the first European reports, the question arose whether only the eastern American cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cingulata (Loew) (Di- ptera: Tephritidae), is present, or also the closely related western American cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran. In this study, we investigate the species status of European populations by com- paring these with populations of both American species from their native ranges, the invasion dynamics in German (first report in 1993) and Hungarian (first report in 2006) populations, and we test for signals of hybridization with the European cherry fruit fly. -
