(Lepidoptera, Cossidae, Chilecomadiinae) (type species, by monotypy – Miacora leucocraspedontis Zukowsky, 1954). The neotype M. leucocraspedontis is allocated, the new combination Miacorella leucocraspedontis (Zukowsky, 1954), comb. n., is established. The species is distributed in Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. The distributional map is given. The article has 16 illustrations. Key words: Carpenter moths, new genus, neotype, taxonomy, Neotropics. Introduction The study of Cossidae (Lepidoptera) from South America are still at the initial stage, though during the recent years we have described several taxa of family range – Chilecomadiinae Schoorl, 1990 and of generic range: Aramos Schoorl, 1990, Voosia Schoorl, 1990, Listrada Naydenov, Yakovlev, Penco, Witt, 2019, Uretiana Yakovlev, Naydenov & Penco, 2019, Dogniniya Yakovlev, Naydenov & Penco, 2019, Qhichwaruna Yakovlev, Naydenov & Penco, 2019, Wiraqucha Yakovlev, Naydenov & Penco, 2019, Thonyocossus Yakovlev, Naydenov & Penco, 2019, Hastam Yakovlev, Naydenov & Penco, 2019 and Klagesiana Yakovlev, Naydenov, Penco, 2020 (Schoorl 1990; Naydenov et al. 2019; Yakovlev et al. 2019; 2020). Despite the work undertaken, the status and taxonomic position of the majority of the described species group taxa remains unclear. This also refers to the poorly studied species Miacora leucocraspedontis Zhukowsky, 1954, described on a unique male collected by the expedition from the University of Hamburg (Germany) in South Peru in 1936. The specimen was labelled “Hamb. Südperu-Exped. 1 ♂ Süd-Peru: Huaycahuacho, 3200 m, 15. 4. 1936”. The specimen was deposited in the Zoological Museum of Hamburg, but in 1943 it was destroyed during the war. Later, according to the survived drafts, Zukowsky (1954) described the new species. Thus, we have a clear evidence of the type specimen loss. Ecologica Montenegrina, 30, 2020, 77-81 A NEW MONOTYPIC GENUS OF CHILECOMADIINAE FROM SOUTH AMERICA Based on Zukowsky's description: “Auf den ersten Blick an einen kleinen Cossus cossus L. erinnernd, 49 mm Spannweite. Die Rieselzeichnung besonders auf den Vorderflügeln hervortretend, der gesamte Vorderrand aber deutlich weißgrau, wie auch die Behaarung des Thorax. Es laufen in paralleler Anordnung in der Nähe des Apex anfangend quer über den Vorderflügel drei dunkelgraubraune, sich deutlich abhebende Linien. Die erste in kurzem Abstand vom Apex, die zweite kurz vor der Mitte, die dritte direkt über die Mitte, keine erreicht ganz den Hinterrand; sie lösen sich allmählich in der Rieselzeichnung auf, die letzte, über die Mitte laufend, gabelt sich deutlich am Ende. Ein sich gut abhebender graubrauner Wisch hinter der letzten Binde, der nach der Wurzel in einen hellgrauen Fleck, nicht sehr hervortretend, abschließt, ist noch hervorzuheben. Die Hinterflügel wie der Hinterleib etwas dunkler und nicht so auffallend gerieselt. Fransen beider Flügel kurz, nicht gescheckt. Die Unterseite etwa gleichfarbig, jedoch umzieht eine helle Umrandung alle Flügel, der Wurzelteil der Vorderflügel ist ebenfalls heller. Die Binden zeigen sich verwaschen, aber verbreitert, wie oben. Die Hinterflügel hier deutlich gerieselt”, the identified (or wrongly identified) series of this species found by the authors of this article in various collections were defined as Miacora leucocraspedontis. Examining M. leucocraspedontis, the authors found significant morphological differences from the species Miacora tropicalis (Schaus, 1904), belonging to the nominative subfamily Cossinae (type species Cossus Fabricius, 1793) and which is a type species of the genus Miacora Dyar, 1905, which had been redescribed (Yakovlev 2014). Materials and methods Images of imago were taken by the digital camera of Apple iPhone 7, Sony DSLR-A100K and Canon EOS 70D illuminated in Lightbox. Male genitalia examined with a Nikon SMZ 800 n microscope, Zeiss Stemi 2000 C microscope and Digital Microscope U500X, 1.3 MPx. The images were processed using Adobe Photoshop software. The specimens for examination were found in the museums the acronyms of which are given below, and also collected in the latest expeditions.

Currently, the neotropical subfamily Chilecomadiinae includes two genera: Chilecomadia Dyar, 1940 (type species Langsdorfia moorei Silva Figueroa, 1915) and Rhizocossus Clench, 1957 (type species Rhizocossus munroei Clench, 1957). The specimens of both genera are distributed at south of phytogeographic province of monte and Patagonian steppe (Chile, Argentina). We have studied all the known representatives of both genera, namely: Chilecomadia moorei (Silva Figueroa, 1915) (Figs. 6, 13), Ch. valdiviana (Philippi, 1859) (Figs. 7, 14) and Rhizocossus munroei Clench, 1957 (Figs. 8, 15) and revealed several significant distinctions from M. leucocraspedontis: - the male antenna comb process is three times longer than the antenna rod diameter, while in the other genera it is equal to the rod diameter; - the apical bifurcation of the uncus is much more expressed; - the valve is long, while in the other genera it is short and cup-like; - the lateral processes of the juxta are without any armoury, in the other genera they are serrated; - the caudal part of the phallus has no lateral processes, while the other genera have those.

In this paper, the most relevant walnut plantations in Italy and Spain have been reviewed and analysed under a geographic and techni- cian management point of view. Between 2016 and 2019 a total of 96 plantations (15 - 25 years old) were visited distributed in the North-western part of the Mediterranean basin. A statistical analysis (linear model no interaction and PCA) was then performed to evaluate the relative importance of some environmental and management variables for walnut trees in analysed plantations. Results highlighted a variable situation with many different adopted planting schemes across the regions as well as a not standardised spatial layout and management type (thinning). Lower densities and smaller trees were adopted in Italy with about 200 trees ha-1 versus 330 trees ha-1 in Spain. In addition to the age of the plantation as one of the most influencing parameters also the plantation density and the average crown diameter were highly statistically significant.

  • The Entomofauna on Eucalyptus in Israel: a Review
    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGYENTOMOLOGY ISSN (online): 1802-8829 Eur. J. Entomol. 116: 450–460, 2019 http://www.eje.cz doi: 10.14411/eje.2019.046 REVIEW The entomofauna on Eucalyptus in Israel: A review ZVI MENDEL and ALEX PROTASOV Department of Entomology, Institute of Plant Protection, Agricultural Research Organization, The Volcani Center, Rishon LeTzion 7528809, Israel; e-mails: [email protected], [email protected] Key words. Eucalyptus, Israel, invasive species, native species, insect pests, natural enemies Abstract. The fi rst successful Eucalyptus stands were planted in Israel in 1884. This tree genus, particularly E. camaldulensis, now covers approximately 11,000 ha and constitutes nearly 4% of all planted ornamental trees. Here we review and discuss the information available about indigenous and invasive species of insects that develop on Eucalyptus trees in Israel and the natural enemies of specifi c exotic insects of this tree. Sixty-two phytophagous species are recorded on this tree of which approximately 60% are indigenous. The largest group are the sap feeders, including both indigenous and invasive species, which are mostly found on irrigated trees, or in wetlands. The second largest group are wood feeders, polyphagous Coleoptera that form the dominant native group, developing in dying or dead wood. Most of the seventeen parasitoids associated with the ten invasive Eucalyptus-specifi c species were introduced as biocontrol agents in classical biological control projects. None of the polyphagous species recorded on Eucalyptus pose any threat to this tree. The most noxious invasive specifi c pests, the gall wasps (Eulophidae) and bronze bug (Thaumastocoris peregrinus), are well controlled by introduced parasitoids.

  • Folk Taxonomy, Nomenclature, Medicinal and Other Uses, Folklore, and Nature Conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3
    Ulicsni et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:47 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0118-7 RESEARCH Open Access Folk knowledge of invertebrates in Central Europe - folk taxonomy, nomenclature, medicinal and other uses, folklore, and nature conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3 Abstract Background: There is scarce information about European folk knowledge of wild invertebrate fauna. We have documented such folk knowledge in three regions, in Romania, Slovakia and Croatia. We provide a list of folk taxa, and discuss folk biological classification and nomenclature, salient features, uses, related proverbs and sayings, and conservation. Methods: We collected data among Hungarian-speaking people practising small-scale, traditional agriculture. We studied “all” invertebrate species (species groups) potentially occurring in the vicinity of the settlements. We used photos, held semi-structured interviews, and conducted picture sorting. Results: We documented 208 invertebrate folk taxa. Many species were known which have, to our knowledge, no economic significance. 36 % of the species were known to at least half of the informants. Knowledge reliability was high, although informants were sometimes prone to exaggeration. 93 % of folk taxa had their own individual names, and 90 % of the taxa were embedded in the folk taxonomy. Twenty four species were of direct use to humans (4 medicinal, 5 consumed, 11 as bait, 2 as playthings). Completely new was the discovery that the honey stomachs of black-coloured carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea, X. valga)were consumed. 30 taxa were associated with a proverb or used for weather forecasting, or predicting harvests. Conscious ideas about conserving invertebrates only occurred with a few taxa, but informants would generally refrain from harming firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus), field crickets (Gryllus campestris) and most butterflies.

Breeds on a wide range of deciduous trees and age classes. Favours damaged or stressed trees growing in damp soils and/or in sunny situations including: Willows, Poplars, Ash, Alder, Crab Apple, Apples, plus a range of other domestic fruit trees, and Oak Elm and Birch. ©Les Hill Potential habitat management issues associated with decline: Overzealous management resulting in removal of sickly looking and dying trees/branches Potential habitat management solutions: Prescription Comment Minimal intervention Retain large, veteran, sickly looking and dying trees/branches; especially if located in wet woodlands and/or sunny situations. Also retain trees with damage to their branches, trunks and/or bark. Thinning, Selective felling Carefully manage whole woodland to ensure the presence of a wide range of age classes. Especially favour those trees which have the potential to become the mature and veteran trees of the future. Manage standards Lightly thin trees (e.g. 1 tree/ha/yr) growing in areas of closed canopy; during felling, allow falling tree to damage nearby trees. Drainage Retain wet areas and if necessary, block culverts and drainage ditches. PAWS Retain all deciduous trees, including dying specimens; carefully fell and extract nearby conifers.

J. H. FRANK1 AND E. D. MCCOY2 1Entomology & Nematology Department, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611-0620 2Biology Department and Center for Urban Ecology, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33620-5150 ABSTRACT An excessive proportion of adventive (= “non-indigenous”) species in a community has been called “biological pollution.” Proportions of adventive species of fishes, am- phibia, reptiles, birds and mammals in southern Florida range from 16% to more than 42%. In Florida as a whole, the proportion of adventive plants is about 26%, but of in- sects is only about 8%. Almost all of the vertebrates were introduced as captive pets, but escaped or were released into the wild, and established breeding populations; few arrived as immigrants (= “of their own volition”). Almost all of the plants also were in- troduced, a few arrived as immigrants (as contaminants of shipments of seeds or other cargoes). In contrast, only 42 insect species (0.3%) were introduced (all for bio- logical control of pests, including weeds). The remainder (about 946 species, or 7.6%) arrived as undocumented immigrants, some of them as fly-ins, but many as contami- nants of cargoes. Most of the major insect pests of agriculture, horticulture, human- made structures, and the environment, arrived as hitchhikers (contaminants of, and stowaways in, cargoes, especially cargoes of plants). No adventive insect species caus- ing problems in Florida was introduced (deliberately) as far as is known.
