MANUAL DE ENTOMOLOGÍA AGRÍCOLA DE BOLIVIA MANUAL DE ENTOMOLOGÍA AGRÍCOLA DE BOLIVIA POR: HELMUTH W. ROGG ISBN – 9978 – 41 – 244 - 1 EDICIONES ABYA-YALA, QUITO, ECUADOR Febrero de 2000 Parte Índice Helmuth W. ROGG Página i II-2000 MANUAL DE ENTOMOLOGÍA AGRÍCOLA DE BOLIVIA PREFACIO Manual de Entomología Agrícola de Bolivia Este manual es el primer intento, compilar toda la información sobre el tema de Entomología, tanto Agrícola como Forestal y Médica y Veterinaria, en general y con particular referencia a Bolivia. El manual puede servir como Currículo para las clases de Entomología Agrícola, Forestal y Médica y Veterinaria de las Universidades Bolivianas, también como referencia y fuente de información. En igual manera puede apoyar a los estudiantes de Entomología, los profesionales agrónomos, forestales y profesionales trabajando en Entomología Médica/Veterinaria e interesados en el tema de Entomología. El manual está compilado en forma de unidades para la enseñanza de clases. Cualquier información adicional o nueva, cualquier comentario o corrección sería importante adicionar para mejorar este manual. El autor quiere expresar que el manual todavía está lejos de ser completo o perfecto, pero, por lo menos, es un inicio. También, se está consciente que el manual contiene todavía muchos errores, pero con el esfuerzo de todos los investigadores bolivianos, se pretende corregir, mejorar y aumentar la información sobre el importante tema de la Entomología Agrícola. Quiero expresar mis sinceros agradecimientos a todos los colegas que, con su trabajo sobre los años, han contribuido al contenido de este manual. Uno de los problemas que encontré en Bolivia durante mis 7 años de trabajo como catedrático investigador, es la falta de colaboración e intercambios de datos e información entre los investigadores y técnicos que trabajan en la agricultura. Pienso que es de suma importancia tener un sistema de intercambio y comunicación entre todas las disciplinas agrícolas con el fin de mejorar la situación agropecuaria y fitosanitaria en el país. Espero que este manual es el primer paso hacia el cumplimiento de este objetivo. Helmuth W. ROGG Bolivia, marzo del 2000 Parte Índice Helmuth W. ROGG Página ii II-2000 MANUAL DE ENTOMOLOGÍA AGRÍCOLA DE BOLIVIA Dedicatoria Este manual está dedicado a mis hijos Oliver y Joseph que no han podido vivir para conocer el fascinante y emocionante mundo de los insectos. Brindo también el presente manual a mi querida esposa que resultó una permanente fuente de energía y fortaleza para continuar y terminar esta obra. Helmuth W.

Stomach bot flies (Calyptratae: Oestridae, Gasterophilinae) are obligate endoparasitoids of Proboscidea (i.e. elephants), Rhinocerotidae (i.e. rhinos) and Equidae (i.e. horses and zebras, etc.), with their larvae developing in the digestive tract of hosts with very strong host specificity. They represent an extremely unusual diver- sity among dipteran, or even insect parasites in general, and therefore provide sig- nificant insights into the evolution of parasitism. The phylogeny of stomach botflies was reconstructed

Hopkins When the weather begins to change in the fall and things get cooler, arthropod pests like the multi-colored Asian lady beetle, the boxelder bug, crickets, various stinkbugs, or spiders are just some of the pest problems that homeowners may have to deal with. The first thing most people think of when trying to prevent a pest problem is WHAT INSECTICIDE DO I SPRAY? However, there are other measures that should be taken that will help prevent these pests from entering your home and may even eliminate the need for an insecticide application. Pest proofing your home is the BEST way to prevent unwanted invaders at this time or any other time of year. Your goal is to prevent pest entry and eliminate conditions that are conducive to pest infestation. Here are the ABC’s of pest proofing your home: A. Ensure that screens on doors and windows are properly installed and maintained. If you don't have screen doors on your home, install them. Any damaged screens should be repaired or replaced. Fine mesh screening will prevent all but the tiniest insects from entering your home. B. Doors should seal properly. If air can pass through or light can be seen through cracks around doors then insects or spiders can get in.

Prof. Moraes Rego, s/n, Cidade Universitária, 50670-901, Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil. E-mail:[email protected] ABSTRACT: The caatinga, a thorn-shrub succulent savannah, is located in Northeastern Brazil and characterized by a short and irregular rainy season and a severe dry season. Insects are only abundant during the rainy months, displaying a strong seasonal pat- tern. Here we present data from a yearlong Sphingidae survey undertaken in the reserve Estação Ecológica do Seridó, located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Hawkmoths were collected once a month during two subsequent new moon nights, between 18.00h and 05.00h, attracted with a 160-watt mercury vapor light. A total of 593 specimens belonging to 20 species and 14 genera were col- lected. Neogene dynaeus, Callionima grisescens, and Hyles euphorbiarum were the most abundant species, together comprising up to 82.2% of the total number of specimens collected. These frequent species are residents of the caatinga of Rio Grande do Norte. The rare Sphingidae in this study, Pseudosphinx tetrio, Isognathus australis, and Cocytius antaeus, are migratory species for the caatinga.

    Volume 47(15):181-186, 2007 A NEW SPECIES OF BLATTICOLA SCHWENK, 1926 (OXYURIDA, THELASTOMATIDAE) A PARASITE OF ANUROGRYLLUS MUTICUS (DE GEER, 1773) (ORTHOPTERA, GRYLLIDAE) FROM ARGENTINA MARÍA FERNANDA ACHINELLY1 NORA B. CAMINO2 ABSTRACT Blatticola cristovata n. sp. (Oxyurida, Thelastomatidae) a parasite of the cricket Anurogryllus muticus (De Geer, 1773) (Orthoptera, Gryllidae) from Argentina, is described and illustrated. This is the first species of the genus Blatticola found parasitizing cricket. This new species is characterized in females by having the cuticle annulated through the body length, the mouth opening is subtriangular and surrounded by eight cephalic papillae, the stoma is short with three pairs placed in two rows of cuticular sclerotised plates, amphids in small pore shaped, oesophagus is divided into three parts, anterior cylindrical corpus, isthmus distinct, and basal bulb valved, the nerve ring is situated around the middle of corpus, the intestine is wide broad anteriorly, oval eggs, smooth shell, with a straight side, and the other side with a band running longitudinally. Males with one pair of preanal, one pair of adanal and two pairs of postanal papillae, and the tail appendage short, conical and pointed. KEYWORDS: Oxyurida, Thelastomatidae, Blatticola cristovata n. sp., Nematoda, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION Blattellicola Basir (1940) and Blatellicoloides Farooqui (1966) match Blatticola in all essential respects and The genus Blatticola was proposed by Swenk they are here considered synonyms of the latter.
