The R. dianneae species group*Corresponding of the genus Rosenbergia author: is [email protected] described and enlarged with the additional descriptions of R. cheesmanae sp. nov. and R. valentinae eki ssp. nov. Adult genitalia are depicted. The R. weiskei species group is analysed and Rosenbergia valentinae Rigout, 2004 stat. nov. is raised to species level and no longer considered a subspecies of R. dianneae Allard, 1990. The rediscovery of the holotype of Rosenbergia humeralis Gilmour, 1966 allows for the description of the male of this species. After extensive research, the holotype of R. dianneae is considered lost and a neotype has been designated.

We analyse In the recent years, there have been few studies on Rosenbergia humeralis Gilmour, 1966, whose holotype the genus Rosenbergia (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: was considered lost (Wallin & Nylander, 2007), R.

Altogether, 8 species under 3 subfamilies are already reported from Sunderban Biosphere Reserve. Present communication reports Batocera rufomaculata (De Geer, 1775) for the first time from this Biosphere reserve. Keywords: Sunderban Biosphere Reserve, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Batocera Introduction Sunderban region in India is 9600 sq km (4200 sq km of Reserved Forest and 5400 sq km of non-forest, inhabited region) which constitutes the Sunderban Biosphere Reserve (SBR). Indian Sunderban is bound on the west by river Muriganga and on the east by rivers Harinbhahga and Raimangal. Administrative boundary of the Sunderban is spread over two districts i.e. North 24-Parganas (Hingalganj, Hasnabad, Haroa, Sandeskhali - I,II, and Minakhan blocks) and South 24-Parganas (Sagar, Namkhana, Kakdwip, Patharpratima, Kultali, Mathurapur-I,II, Jaynagar-I,II, Canning-I,II, Basanti and Gosaba blocks).The extent of mangrove Reserve Forests in Indian Sunderban is around 4260 sq km, out of which 55% is under land vegetation cover and balance 45% is under water body/ inter-tidal zone. Studies on beetles and weevils (Coleoptera) in Sunderban region is very poor.

Abstract: The Catalogue includes all 78 Cerambycidae species of Afghanistan fauna known up to 2019 with the references to the original descriptions; 22 species were not mentioned for Afghanistan in Palaearctic Cerambycidae Catalogue by Löbl & Smetana (2010). Bibliography of each species usually includes the geographical information from corresponding publications. Many new taxonomy positions published after 2010 are used here without special remarks. Agapanthia (Epoptes) dahli ustinovi Danilevsky, 2013 stat. nov. is downgraded from the species level. Two species are described as new Phytoecia (Parobereina) pashtunica sp. n. from Afghanistan and Phytoecia (Parobereina) heinzi sp.n. from Pakistan.

  • Edible Insects and Other Invertebrates in Australia: Future Prospects
    Alan Louey Yen Edible insects and other invertebrates in Australia: future prospects Alan Louey Yen1 At the time of European settlement, the relative importance of insects in the diets of Australian Aborigines varied across the continent, reflecting both the availability of edible insects and of other plants and animals as food. The hunter-gatherer lifestyle adopted by the Australian Aborigines, as well as their understanding of the dangers of overexploitation, meant that entomophagy was a sustainable source of food. Over the last 200 years, entomophagy among Australian Aborigines has decreased because of the increasing adoption of European diets, changed social structures and changes in demography. Entomophagy has not been readily adopted by non-indigenous Australians, although there is an increased interest because of tourism and the development of a boutique cuisine based on indigenous foods (bush tucker). Tourism has adopted the hunter-gatherer model of exploitation in a manner that is probably unsustainable and may result in long-term environmental damage. The need for large numbers of edible insects (not only for the restaurant trade but also as fish bait) has prompted feasibility studies on the commercialization of edible Australian insects. Emphasis has been on the four major groups of edible insects: witjuti grubs (larvae of the moth family Cossidae), bardi grubs (beetle larvae), Bogong moths and honey ants. Many of the edible moth and beetle larvae grow slowly and their larval stages last for two or more years. Attempts at commercialization have been hampered by taxonomic uncertainty of some of the species and the lack of information on their biologies.

CATALOGUE OF THE CERAMBYCIDAE (COLEOPTERA) OF AUSTRALIA BY KEITH C. McKEOWN, F.R.Z.S., Assistant Entomologist. The Australian Museum. PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES A. B. Walkom, D.%., Director. Sydney, May 2, I947 PREFACE. The accompanying Catalogue of the Cerambycidae is the first, dealing solely with Australian genera and species, to be published since that of Pascoe in 1867. Masters' Catalogue of the Described Coleoptera of Australia, 1885-1887, included the Cerambycidae, and was based on the work of Gemminger and Harold. A new catalogue has been badly needed owing to the large number of new species described in recent years, and the changes in the already complicated synonymy. The Junk catalogue, covering the Coleoptera of the world, is defective in many respects, as well as being too unwieldy, and too costly for the average Australian worker. Many of the references in the Junk catalogue are inaccurate, synonymy misleading, and the genera under which the species were originally described omitted, and type localities are not quoted. In this catalogue every care has been taken to ensure accuracy, and the fact that it has been used, in slip form, over a number.

  • PRA on Apriona Species
    EUROPEAN AND MEDITERRANEAN PLANT PROTECTION ORGANIZATION ORGANISATION EUROPEENNE ET MEDITERRANEENNE POUR LA PROTECTION DES PLANTES 16-22171 (13-18692) Only the yellow note is new compared to document 13-18692 Pest Risk Analysis for Apriona germari, A. japonica, A. cinerea Note: This PRA started 2011; as a result, three species of Apriona were added to the EPPO A1 List: Apriona germari, A. japonica and A. cinerea. However recent taxonomic changes have occurred with significant consequences on their geographical distributions. A. rugicollis is no longer considered as a synonym of A. germari but as a distinct species. A. japonica, which was previously considered to be a distinct species, has been synonymized with A. rugicollis. Finally, A. cinerea remains a separate species. Most of the interceptions reported in the EU as A. germari are in fact A. rugicollis. The outcomes of the PRA for these pests do not change. However A. germari has a more limited and a more tropical distribution than originally assessed, but it is considered that it could establish in Southern EPPO countries. The Panel on Phytosanitary Measures agreed with the addition of Apriona rugicollis to the A1 list.

This document was first elaborated by an Expert Working Group and then reviewed by the Panel on Phytosanitary Measures and if relevant other EPPO bodies.

  • Similarities and Contrasts in the Local Insect Faunas Associated with Ten Forest Tree Species of New Guinea!
    Pacific Science (1996), vol. 50, no. 2: 157-183 © 1996 by University of Hawai'i Press. All rights reserved Similarities and Contrasts in the Local Insect Faunas Associated with Ten Forest Tree Species of New Guinea! YVES BASSET,z,3 G. A. SAMUELSON, 2 AND S. E. MILLER 2 ABSTRACT: Insect faunas associated with 10 tree species growing in a sub­ montane area in Papua New Guinea are described and compared. In total, 75,000 insects were collected on these trees during the day and night by hand collecting, beating, branch clipping, intercept flight traps, and pyrethrum knock­ down over a l-yr period. Association of chewing insects with the hosts was in­ ferred from feeding trials. Characteristics of the fauna associated with each tree species are briefly outlined, with an emphasis on chewing insects. Four subsets of data, of decreasing affinity with the host, were analyzed by canonical corre­ spondence and cluster analyses: (1) specialist leaf-chewers, (2) proven leaf­ chewers, (3) all herbivores (including transient leaf-chewers and sap-suckers), and (4) all insects (including nonherbivore categories). Analyses of similarity between tree species were performed using number of either species or in­ dividuals within insect families. Analyses using number ofindividuals appeared more robust than those using number of species, because transient herbivore species artificially inflated the level of similarity between tree species. Thus, it is recommended that number of individuals be used in analyses of this type, par­ ticularly when the association of insects with their putative host has not been ascertained. Not unexpectedly, the faunal similarity of tree species increased along the sequence (1)-(2)-(3)-(4).
