  • Vectores Potenciales De Xylella Fastidiosa En El Olivar De La Provincia De Sevilla
    livo.. OTransferencia Tecnológica Vectores potenciales de Xylella fastidiosa en el olivar de la provincia de Sevilla Antonio Serrano Caballos, María Isabel González Fernández, Antonio Manuel Sánchez Megías y José Manuel Durán Álvaro (Laboratorio de Producción y Sanidad Vegetal de Sevilla. Consejería de Agricultura, Pesca y Desarrollo Rural. Junta de Andalucía). Ante la detección de la bacteria Xylella fastidiosa afectando a olivos del sur de Italia se plantea la prospección de las diferentes zonas olivareras de la provincia de Sevilla para realizar una primera aproximación a los potenciales insectos vectores. Se ha determinado la presencia de 41 taxones del suborden Cicadomorpha, de los cuales 13 pertenecen a las superfamilias candidatas Cercopoidea y Cicadoidea. Philaenus spumarius y Neophilaenus sp. son consideradas por bibliografía las de mayor riesgo, si bien en nuestras condiciones las Cicadoidea podrían tener un papel más relevante por su abundancia y distribución, tanto Cicada barbara, como C. orni y Tettigettalna spp. Se ha incluido el suborden Fulgoromorpha tanto por el número de especies detectadas como por la abundancia de individuos capturados en los olivares. INTRODUCCIÓN Xylella fastidiosa es una bacteria fitopatógena limitada al xilema de las plantas. Presenta una gran variabilidad genética lo que permite que se hayan establecido hasta 309 especies huéspedes (Czwienczek y col., 2014). Cabría destacar de entre las especies cultivadas a la vid, cítricos, frutales de hueso, almendro, olivo,... así como numerosas especies forestales. En octubre de 2013 se produjo la primera detección en Europa, en el sur de Italia (Saponari y col., 2013), de una variante atípica de la subespecie pauca, similar a otra detectada en adelfas de Costa Rica.

Analysis of the resulting molecular phylogenies shows a low support of the results presented, probably due to genes and species sampling bias not enough representative of diversity and evolution of issidoid lineages. While Issidae monophyly is not clearly recovered, monophyly of Western Palaearctic issid genera and Caliscelidae respectively seems well supported; however genus Bubastia Emeljanov appears

Hemiptera, Fulgoroidea, Issidae, Caliscelidae, Acanaloniidae, karyotypes, holokinetic chromosomes, testes, ovaries, evolution, systematics Abstract. The aim of this study was to obtain information on the karyotypes, testes and ovaries of three fulgoroid families, mainly in the Issidae but also in the Caliscelidae and Acanaloniidae. For the Issidae, the data is for 19 species belonging to 11 genera of the subtribes Issina (2 species, 1 genus), Hysteropterina (14 species, 9 genera) and Agalmatiina (3 species, 2 genera) of the tribe Issini. The male karyotypes are shown to be quite uniform across the tribe, with 2n = 26 + X in all species studied except Latilica macu- lipes (Melichar, 1906) with 2n = 24 + X. The modal karyotype, 2n = 26 + X, matches the most probable ancestral state in the Fulgor- oidea. In the majority of cases the number of seminal follicles in males and ovarioles in females are stable within but fairly variable among the species, the modal value of the follicle number is 10 per testis. Contrary to what might be expected from other fulgoroid families, such as the Dictyopharidae and Delphacidae, the variability in these characters revealed neither regular trends nor evident correspondence with the taxonomy of Issidae.

  • A Review of the Endemic Planthoppers, Leafhoppers and Allies of Cyprus (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha), with Notes on Additional Species
    Cicadina 16 (2016): 25-36 25 A review of the endemic planthoppers, leafhoppers and allies of Cyprus (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha), with notes on additional species Alex J. Ramsay1 Summary: Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean with a total land area of 9.251 km2, and has an altitudinal range from sea level to nearly 2000 m. The island is charac- terised by a high diversity of habitats including saltmarsh and seasonal saltpans, sand dunes, pine and cedar forest, broad-leaved evergreen and deciduous forests, mountains and coastal plains, and including many endemic plant species. Early records of Auchenorrhyn- cha from Cyprus include two species of Issidae described by Melichar (1906) and not subsequently recorded. The majority of the Auchenorrhyncha species on Cyprus were rec- orded by the Lindberg expedition of 1939 (Lindberg 1948), which recorded 118 species in 13 families (Aphrophoridae, Caliscelidae, Cicadellidae, Cicadidae, Cixiidae, Delphacidae, Dictyopharidae, Flatidae, Issidae, Meenoplidae, Tettigometridae, Tibicinidae, Tropi- duchidae), with 33 species recorded as new to science by both Lindberg (1948b) and Ribaut (1948). Subsequent interest in the fauna has increased the number of recorded species on Cyprus to 170 representing 14 families. The majority of species recorded on Cyprus share faunal affinities with the Turkey, Greece and the Near East. Only seven species are now confirmed as endemic to Cyprus. Key words: Auchenorrhyncha, Endemic, Cyprus, Mediterranean. 1. Introduction Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean with an area of 9.251 km2 (3.571 square miles) and is situated in the very eastern part. The island is characterised by two main mountain ranges, the Troodos mountains in the centre, and the Pentadaktylos moun- tains which parallel the northern coast.

  • Prvý Nález Cikády Agalmatium Flavescens (Auchenorrhyncha, Issidae) Na Slovensku
    Acta Rer. Natur. Mus. Nat. Slov. Vol. LXIII Bratislava, 2017 PRVÝ NÁLEZ CIKÁDY AGALMATIUM FLAVESCENS (AUCHENORRHYNCHA, ISSIDAE) NA SLOVENSKU Vladimír Janský, Michaela Strmisková Abstract: First record of planthopper Agalmatium flavescens (Auchenorrhyncha, Issidae) in Slovakia. The polyphagous palearctic planthopper species, widespread in the Mediter- ranean, was recorded for the first time in a little area at the border of an unkept vineyard in Bratislava­‑Rača, part Dolné Záhumenice, 170 m a.s.l. in August 2016 and August 2017. Key words: faunistics, Agalmatium flavescens, distribution, Central Europe Úvod V posledných desaťročiach mnohé druhy hmyzu menia svoje pôvodné areály a rozširujú sa do nových, často aj vzdialených území. Niektoré druhy sa prirodzene šíria vďaka klima- tickým zmenám a dostávajú sa do biotopov, ktoré sú podobné alebo až identické s ich pô- vodným areálom. Viaceré druhy, alebo ich rôzne vývojové štádiá, sa do nových priestorov dostávajú aj pasívne – prostredníctvom transportu tovarov. Jedným z druhov hmyzu, ktoré postupujú čoraz severnejšie vďaka vhodným klimatic- kým zmenám, je aj cikáda druhu Agalmatium flavescens (Olivier, 1791) z čeľade kôrárovi- tých (Issidae). Tento palearktický druh preferuje xerotermné a stepné biotopy. Má jednu generáciu v roku. Imága sa vyskytujú od júna do septembra, sú svetložltohnedé až hnedé, s veľkosťou 4,5 až 6,0 mm. Z Európy je v súčasnosti známych osem druhov z rodu Agal‑ matium s centrom rozšírenia v oblasti Stredozemného mora, kde sa vyskytuje šesť druhov. V južnej časti strednej Európy žijú dva druhy – A. flavescens a A. bilobum (Holzinger et al. 2003). V Taliansku bol taxón A. flavescens nájdený na rôznych druhoch rastlín – na drevinách, ovocných stromoch, vo vinohradníckych oblastiach s lesmi a krami, ktoré sa vyskytujú aj v našich klimatických podmienkach.

  • Investigating Vector Specificity of Flavescence Dorée Phytoplasma of Some Hemiptera Species
    INVESTIGATING VECTOR SPECIFICITY OF FLAVESCENCE DORÉE PHYTOPLASMA OF SOME HEMIPTERA SPECIES A. Bressan1, 2, D. Clair1 & E. Boudon-Padieu1* 1Biologie et écologie des phytoplasmes, UMR PME INRA – CNRS – Université de Bourgogne, BP 86510 – 21065 DIJON Cedex France. * Tel 33 (0)380 69 31 91; Fax 33 (0)380 69 32 61, Email: [email protected] 2Dipartimento di Agronomia Ambientale e Produzioni Vegetali, Università di Padova, Vialle dell'Università 16, 35020 LEGNARO, Italia Introduction Identification of vectors and potential vectors of Grapevine yellows (GY) diseases is crucial for epidemiology and control of these important diseases (Boudon-Padieu, 2005). Few information are reported in literature concerning the specificity of vector transmission of phytoplasmas. Some phytoplasma strains seem to be specifically transmitted, for example phytoplasmas in the Elm yellow group seem to be transmitted by only a few leafhopper species. Other strains have low vector specificity, such as those clustered in the Aster yellows group, which are transmitted by several leafhopper species. Flavescence dorée (FD) of the grapevine is associated with a phytoplasma (FDP) that seems to be specifically transmitted in the field by the leafhopper vector Scaphoideus titanus Ball (Hemiptera, Cicadomorpha, Cicadellidae) (Schvester et al., 1963; Vidano, 1964; Mori et al., 2002). However Caudwell et al. (1972) showed that in experimental conditions, Euscelidius variegatus Kirschbaum (Hemiptera, Cicadomorpha, Cicadellidae) was an efficient alternative vector of FDP to herbaceous hosts although it cannot feed-acquire FDP from infected grapevines. Hence the species of source and recipient plants are very important both in natural diffusion and experimental assays. In the present work we studied the vector specificity of FDP by 15 Hemiptera Cicadomorpha and Fulgoromorpha species collected in European vineyards.

The size and water content of fruit varies depending on the olive fruit yield along with the region, climate, and geographical position as well as agricultural applications. Anthropogenic activities also affect its ecology to a great extent. The plant prefers areas with mild Citation: Ozturk, M.; Altay, V.; winters and short rainy seasons but is facing long and dry summers, sunny habitats, well drained Gönenç, T.M.; Unal, B.T.; Efe, R.; dry, poor, loamy, clayey-loamy, slightly calcareous, pebbly and nutrient-rich soils, with a pH around Akçiçek, E.; Bukhari, A.
