Giebink1, J. Mark Scriber2, and John L Wedberg3 ABSTRACT Third instar hop vine borer (Hydraecia immanis) and potato stem borer (H. micacea) are new pest species on corn in the Midwest. Early instar larvae feed on small-stemmed grasses, and later instar larvae switch to broad stemmed hosts to complete development. In order to assess potential suitabil ity of various weeds of corn fields, larvae were reared on seven selected broad leaved plants for 16-18 days under greenhouse conditions to determine their feeding behavior and performance. -

A wide range of corn problems and symptoms encountered throughout the season are included. For each symptom, concise descriptions of the possible causes are listed. Because different problems are associated with different growth stages this guide is divided into the following four sections: 1) Before emergence; 2) Emergence to Knee-high; 3) Knee-high to Tasseling; 4) Tasseling to Maturity Realize that this information is intended as a field identification guide to provide a fast and tentative diagnosis of corn production problems. -

(Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Mirzaei, M. *a,b , Nozari, J b. a Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection, Agricultural Zoology Research Department, Education and Extension Organization (AREEO), Tehran, Iran. bDepartment of Plant Protection, College of Agriculture, University of Tehran, Karaj, Iran (Received: 30 December 2015 ; Accepted: 22 November 2016 ) The first comprehensive catalogue of leaf beetles of subfamily Galerucinae s. str. from Iran is presented. In total, 44 species belonging to 18 genera of three tribes (Galerucini, Hylaspini and Luperini) are listed. In Iran, Galerucinae is represented by 11 endemic species. For every species provincial distributions are given based mainly on available literature records, along with some additional distributional records from a field survey of several localities in Iran in 2012-2015. All species deposited in Jalal Afshar Zoological Museum (University of Tehran) were also examined. Luperus perlucidus Iablokoff- Khnzorian, 1956 is reported as a new record for Iranian Chrysomelidae fauna. Moreover, Theone octocostata afghanistanica Mandl, 1968, Galerucella nymphaeae (Linnaeus, 1758), Galeruca pomonae (Scopoli, 1763), Exosoma thoracicum (Redtenbacher, 1843) and Luperus kiesenwetteri Joannis, 1865, which had been omitted in the catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera, were added again to the leaf beetle fauna of Iran. In addition, 13 new records for the administrative provinces of Iran are provided. Key words: Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae, Catalogue, New record, Iran INTRODUCTION Iran is one of the most diverse areas of the west Palaearctic. The country with 1.648 million kilometers features three main climatic zones including arid and semi-arid regions, Mediterranean climate (mainly in the western Zagros Mountains) and humid and semi-humid regions (mainly in the Caspian). -

NEWSLETT ER of the MICHIGAN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY Volume 29, Number 3 & 4 November 22, 1984 A Poplar Tentmaker Outbreak in Michigan by Gregory L. Reighard and Gregory J. Kowalewski The poplar tentmaker Clostera inclusa HUbner, and population density regulate the population is a multivol tine moth that lays its eggs on dynamics of this insect is a barrier to pre the undersides of the leaves of trees of dicting the conditions that make poplar plan Salicaceae (Baker 1972, Oliveria 1978). The tations susceptible to a PTM outbreak. The PTM larvae, which live in webbed-leaf tents, are has not yet been seen in hybrid poplar plantings gregarious and feed nocturnally on the foliage or aspen stands in northern Lower Michigan of various poplar and willow species. This (W. Mattson, L. Moore, and J. Witter, personal notodontid is uncommon in Michigan even though communication) where the poplar and aspen Baker (1972) lists its native range as resources is heavily used by the Michigan wood extending to southern Ontario. Only two adults products industry. (both from Berrien County) are in the Notodontidae collection of the Zoology Museum at Michigan State University. Sherman Moore's (1955) annotated list of Michigan moths gives records for this insect in Berrien, Newaygo, Oakland, Washtenaw, and Wayne counties. Collections of C. inclusa have also been made in Cass and St.-Joseph counties (M. C. Nielsen and D. C. L. Gosling , personal communication). The collection records indicate that the insect is endemic to southern Michigan. The poplar tentmaker (PTM ) has recently emerged as a serious pest of cott onwood plan tations in the Gulf States .
