    Importation of Fresh Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), Shelled or in Pods, from Jordan into the Continental United States A Qualitative, Pathway-Initiated Risk Assessment February 14, 2011 Version 2 Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection and Quarantine 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Pest Risk Assessment for Beans from Jordan Executive Summary In this risk assessment we examined the risks associated with the importation of fresh beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), in pods (French, green, snap, and string beans) or shelled, from the Kingdom of Jordan into the continental United States. We developed a list of pests associated with beans (in any country) that occur in Jordan on any host based on scientific literature, previous commodity risk assessments, records of intercepted pests at ports-of-entry, and information from experts on bean production. This is a qualitative risk assessment, as we express estimates of risk in descriptive terms (High, Medium, and Low) rather than numerically in probabilities or frequencies. We identified seven quarantine pests likely to follow the pathway of introduction. We estimated Consequences of Introduction by assessing five elements that reflect the biology and ecology of the pests: climate-host interaction, host range, dispersal potential, economic impact, and environmental impact. We estimated Likelihood of Introduction values by considering both the quantity of the commodity imported annually and the potential for pest introduction and establishment. We summed the Consequences of Introduction and Likelihood of Introduction values to estimate overall Pest Risk Potentials, which describe risk in the absence of mitigation.

Southgate Biology Department, Pest Infestation Control Laboratory, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food, Slough SL3 7HJ, Berks, England INTRODUCTION Species of Bruchidae breed in every continent except Antarctica. The larg­ est number of species live in the tropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. Many species have obvious economic importance because they breed on grain legumes and consume valuable proteins that would otherwise be eaten by man. Other species, however, destroy seeds of an immense number of leguminous trees and shrubs, which, though they have no obvious economic value, stem the advance of the deserts into the marginal cultivated areas of the world. When this ecosystem is mismanaged by practices such as over­ grazing, then any organism that restricts the normal regeneration of seed­ lings will, in the long run, affect agriculture adversely. This has been demonstrated recently in some African and Middle Eastern semiarid zones (65). The present interest in the management of arid areas and in the introduc­ Annu. Rev.

It has also emphasized the inadequacy of our knowledge of the taxonomy and biology of these beetles.

    The Coleopterists Bulletin 31(2), 1977 117 Three New Species of Sennius from Mexico and Central America, with New Host Records F

    THE COLEOPTERISTS BULLETIN 31(2), 1977 117 THREE NEW SPECIES OF SENNIUS FROM MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA, WITH NEW HOST RECORDS FOR OTHER SENNIUS (COLEOPTERA: BRUCHIDAE) CLARENCE DAN JOHNSON Department of Biological Sciences, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 86011 ABSTRACT The new species Sennius colima from Mexico ahd S. lawrencei and S. panama from Panama are described. The dorsal aspects, hind legs and male genitalia of each are figured. S. colima develops in the seeds of Cassia ber- landieri; S. lawrencei in the seeds of C. reticulata; and S. panama in the seeds of C. undulata. Bruchus rufescens Motschulsky was found to be a Sennius and the senior synonym of Sennius celatus (Sharp). Five species of Sennius had no previous host plants recorded for them. These bruchids and their hosts are S. breveapicalis (Cassia densiflora, C. undulata); S. ensiculus (Cassia patellaria); S. militaris (Cassia emarginata); S. obesulus (Cassia wrightii); S. trinotaticollis (Cassia maxonii, C. oxyphylla). New host records for other species of Sennius are as follows: S. auricomus (Cassia xiphoidea); S. rufescens (Cassia leptocarpa, C. reticulata, C. tora); S. fallax (Cassia berlandieri, C. hintoni); S. guttifer (Cassia nicaraguensis); S. instabilis (Cassia biflora, C. leptocarpa, C. tora). INTRODUCTION After Bridwell (1946) named the genus Sennius, little systematic work was done on the species in the genus until Johnson and Kingsolver (1973) re- vised the North and Central American species of the genus. Since 1973, Cen- ter and Johnson (1973, 1974, 1976), Whitehead and Kingsolver (1975a, 1975b), and Pfaffenberger and Johnson (1976) have published papers that, at least in part, are concerned with host plants, evolution, new species, and larvae of Sennius.

    Release and Establishment of the Scotch Broom Seed Beetle, Bruchidius Villosus, in Oregon and Washington, USA

    Release and establishment of the Scotch broom seed beetle, Bruchidius villosus, in Oregon and Washington, USA E.M. Coombs,1 G.P. Markin2 and J. Andreas3 Summary We provide a preliminary report on the Scotch broom seed beetle, Bruchidius villosus (F.) (Coleop- tera: Bruchidae). This beetle was first recorded as an accidental introduction to North America in 1918. Host-specificity tests were completed before the beetle was released as a classical biological control agent for Scotch broom, Cytisus scoparius L. (Fabaceae), in 1997 in the western USA. Beetles were collected in North Carolina and shipped to Oregon in 1998. More than 135 releases of the beetle have been made throughout western Oregon and Washington. Nursery sites have been established, and collection for redistribution began in 2003. The bruchid’s initial establishment rate is higher in in- terior valleys than at cooler sites near the coast and in the lower Cascade Mountains. Seed-pod attack rates varied from 10% to 90% at release sites that were 3 years old or older. Seed destruction within pods varied from 20% to 80%, highest at older release sites. B. villosus may compliment the impact of the widely established Scotch broom seed weevil, Exapion fuscirostre (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculioni- dae). B. villosus populations were equal to or more abundant than the weevil at seven release sites in Oregon. At sites where the bruchids were established, they made up 37% of the seed-pod beetle population, indicating that they are able to compete with the weevil and increase their populations. At several release sites older than 5 years, bruchid populations have become equal to or more abundant than the weevil’s.

Segundo as leis aerodinâmicas ele nunca poderia alçar voo, no entanto o faz. Quando alguém disser que teu sonho é impossível, lembre-se que não há lei no mundo que te proiba de alcançar teus sonhos. E o zumbido desse voo, serve apenas para que aqueles que em ti não acreditavam, possam olhar pra cima quando passares por eles. Lute. Don't forget to fly!

Universidad Autónoma Chapingo. km 38.5 Carretera Gómez Palacio-Chihuahua, Bermejillo, Durango, México. [email protected] (*Corresponding author). Abstract amplings of insects associated with huizache were carried out from March to September 2013 in ten huizache trees located at Chapingo Autonomous University’s Drylands Regional SUniversity Unit (URUZA), located in Bermejillo, Dgo. A motorized D-Vac model 2846 vacuum insect collector and yellow sticky traps were used. The collected material was reviewed under a microscope in the laboratory, finding mostly homopteran insects, particularly adult whiteflies and two groups of parasitoids.
