Introduction Ta x n o n o m y The genus Agroiconota was proposed by Spaeth Agroiconota Spaeth, 1913 (1913) for Cassida tristriata Fabricius, 1792 (type spe cies by original designation) and Coptocycla stupidula Agroiconota Spaeth, 1913:142 (type species:Cassida tristriata Fabricius, 1792, by original designation), 1914: 121, Hincks 1952: 341, Seeno Boheman, 1855. In 1936, Spaeth reviewed the genus in and Wilcox 1982: 178, Riley 1986: 106, Borowiec 1999: 322. key form. He keyed 16 species, including 6 new to the science. Next year, Spaeth (1937) described another new The genus Agroiconota Spaeth, 1913 is a m em ber of species in the genus. Blake (1970) described a new species the tribe Cassidini. It is well distinguished from other from Cuba. At last, Buzzi (1996) described Agroiconota genera of the tribe by the following combination of char urbanae from Brazil (Mato Grosso) but Borowiec (1998) acters: venter of pronotum without antennal grooves, synonymised it with A. -
Comparative Water Relations of Adult and Juvenile Tortoise Beetles: Differences Among Sympatric Species
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A 135 (2003) 625–634 Comparative water relations of adult and juvenile tortoise beetles: differences among sympatric species Helen M. Hull-Sanders*, Arthur G. Appel, Micky D. Eubanks Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, Auburn University, 301 Funchess Hall, Auburn, AL 36849-5413, USA Received 5 February 2003; received in revised form 20 May 2003; accepted 20 May 2003 Abstract Relative abundance of two sympatric tortoise beetles varies between drought and ‘wet’ years. Differing abilities to conserve water may influence beetle survival in changing environments. Cuticular permeability (CP), percentage of total body water (%TBW), rate of water loss and percentage of body lipid content were determined for five juvenile stages and female and male adults of two sympatric species of chrysomelid beetles, the golden tortoise beetle, Charidotella bicolor (F. ) and the mottled tortoise beetle, Deloyala guttata (Olivier). There were significant differences in %TBW and lipid content among juvenile stages. Second instars had the greatest difference in CP (37.98 and 11.13 mg cmy2 hy1 mmHgy1 for golden and mottled tortoise beetles, respectively). Mottled tortoise beetles had lower CP and greater %TBW compared with golden tortoise beetles, suggesting that they can conserve a greater amount of water and may tolerate drier environmental conditions. This study suggests that juvenile response to environmental water stress may differentially affect the survival of early instars and thus affect the relative abundance of adult beetles in the field. This is supported by the low relative abundance of golden tortoise beetle larvae in a drought year and the higher abundance in two ‘wet’ years. -

Agroiconota Judaica (FABRICIUS, 1781) and A. Inedita (BOHEMAN, 1855) - Distinct Species (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae)
Genus Vol. 9(3): 387-393 Wroc³aw, 30 IX 1998 Agroiconota judaica (FABRICIUS, 1781) and A. inedita (BOHEMAN, 1855) - distinct species (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) LECH BOROWIEC Zoological Institute, Wroc³aw University, Sienkiewicza 21, 50-335 Wroc³aw, Poland, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Agroiconota judaica (FABRICIUS, 1781) and A. inedita (BOHEMAN, 1855) are distinct species. A. judaica is widespread in northern and north-western part of South America, A. inedita occurs in eastern Brazil, Paraguay and N Argentina. Agroiconota urbanae BUZZI, 1996 is a new synonym of A. subvittata (BOHEMAN, 1855) and Coptocycla judaica var. operosa BOHEMAN, 1855 is a new synonym of A. judaica (F.). Key words: entomology, taxonomy, synonymy, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae, Agroiconota, South America. Agroiconota judaica was described by FABRICIUS (1781) under the name Cassida iudaica from Cayennae (now French Guyana), and Agroiconota inedita was described by BOHEMAN (1855) as Coptocycla inedita from Brasilia. SPAETH (1936) revieved the genus Agroiconota SPAETH, 1913 and placed in it 16 species, including A. judaica (F.). He synonymized C. inedita BOH. with A. judaica (F.). During my stay at the Manchester Museum (where SPAETHs collection is placed) and Stockholm Museum (BOHEMANs collection) I found that A. judaica sensu SPAETH and A. judaica sensu BOHEMAN represented two distinct species (BOROWIEC 1997). I designated also lectotype for Coptocycla inedita BOHEMAN, 1855 which is conspecific with A. judaica sensu SPAETH. By courtesy of Dr. O. MARTIN (Zoologisk Museum, Kopenhagen) I have had an opportunity to examine both syntypes of Cassida iudaica from FABRICIUSs collection. The first specimen is well preserved and it is conspecific with C. -
8. Parasitology the Diversity and Specificity of Parasitoids Attacking
8. Parasitology The diversity and specificity of parasitoids attacking Neotropical tortoise beetles (Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae) Marie Cuignet1, Donald Windsor2, Jessica Reardon3 and Thierry Hance4 Abstract. Tortoise beetles have numerous adaptations to keep enemies at bay - in- cluding tightly-aggregated larvae that move synchronously about the food plant, construction of predator-deterring exuvio-fecal shields, maternal guarding of im- matures, and adults that pull their carapace flush to the leaf to escape enemies. Despite these and other adaptations this subfamily of Chrysomelidae has been re- garded as one of the most heavily parasitized. To better describe the impact and diversity of the parasitoid community which successfully evades these defenses we collected and reared the immature and adult stages of 47 species of Panamanian Cassidinae obtaining at least 41 species of parasitoids. Over half of the species ob- tained (26) were egg parasitoids (Eulophidae, Entedoninae), 20 of those Emersonella species, 13 undescribed at the time of the study. Phoresy was confirmed in at least six Emersonella species, two of which emerged from the eggs of 11 and 13 different host species. Nevertheless, the majority of Eulophidae species (15 of 26) were reared from a single host. Additionally, five species of Chalcidae, eight species of Tachinidae, two Nematomorpha and the lepidopteran, Schacontia sp. (Crambidae) were obtained from rearings of larvae, pupae and adults. One tachinid species (Eucelatoria sp.) in- fected the larval stage of Chelymorpha alternans, and was found in the abdomens of 27.6 percent of dissected adults. Keywords. Cassidinae, Eulophidae, Tachinidae, parasitoids, parasitism. 1 Unite d'ecologie et de biogeographie, Centre de recherche sur la biodiversite, 4 et 5 Place Croix-du-Sud, 1348 Louvain-la-Neuve. -

Mexico Ware Potato RA.Docx
Importation, from Mexico into the United States, of Potato, Solanum tuberosum, Tubers Intended for Consumption A Pathway-initiated Commodity Risk Assessment April 2011 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, North Carolina 27606 Pest Risk Assessment for Ware Potato, Solanum tuberosum, from Mexico Executive Summary In this document we present results of an assessment of the risks associated with the importation, from Mexico into the United States (the 50 states and Caribbean territories), of ware potatoes (i.e., potatoes for consumption only), Solanum tuberosum L. A search of available sources of information and APHIS, PPQ port interception records identified eight quarantine pests of S. tuberosum that occur in Mexico and could be introduced into the United States in consignments of that commodity. Consequences of Introduction were estimated 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, resulting in the calculation of a risk value. Likelihood of Introduction was estimated by considering both the quantity of the commodity to be imported annually and the potential for pest introduction, resulting in the calculation of a second risk value. The two values were summed to estimate an overall Pest Risk Potential, which is an estimation of risk in the absence of mitigation. Quarantine pests considered likely to follow the import pathway are presented in the following table, indicating their risk ratings.
