INFLUENCE OF SOME SOIL AND CULTURAL PRACTICES ON THE SUCROSE CONTENT OF SUGAR BEETS1 G. c. KENT, c. M. NAGEL, AND I.E. MELHUS From the Botany and Plant Pathology Section, Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station Received February 26, 1942 The acre yield of sucrose from sugar beets grown in Iowa was found to vary widely with the farm and the season. The sucrose yield may vary from 600 to more than 5,000 pounds per acre. Large portions of this varia tion in yield may be attributed to soil and weather conditions, cropping practices, and destructiveness of crop diseases and insects. -

Several heteropterans were found on the larval nests of E. aurinia for dietary reasons: Deraeoco ris schach (Fabricius, 1781) that is a predator of Marsh Fritillary larvae, Palomena prasina (Linnaeus, 1761) and Spilostethus saxati lis (Scopoli, 1763) that feed on the droppings of larvae; Graphosoma lineatum italicum (Müller, 1766) that visits the larval web during winter diapause.

Considering vertical transmission of the bacterial symbiont through the Email: [email protected] egg surface contamination, we used surface sterilization of the eggs to remove the symbiont. The symbiont population was decreased in the newborn nymphs hatched from the surface- sterilized eggs (the aposymbiotic insects), and this reduction im- posed strongly negative effects on the insect host. We found significant differences in most life table parameters between the symbiotic insects and the aposymbiot- −1 ics. The intrinsic rate of increase in the control insects (0.080 ± 0.003 day ) was −1 higher than the aposymbiotic insects (0.045 ± 0.007 day ). Also, the net reproduc- tive and gross reproductive rates were decreased in the aposymbiotic insects (i.e., 20.770 ± 8.992 and 65.649 ± 27.654 offspring/individual, respectively), compared with the symbiotic insects (i.e., 115.878 ± 21.624 and 165.692 ± 29.058 offspring/ individual, respectively). -

Recibido: 22 de septiembre de 2017 Publicado on-line: 9 de octubre de 2017 Aceptado: 26 de septiembre de 2017 Recently, the coreid species Plinachtus imitator (Reuter, 1891), which originally was described by Reuter (1891) as Gonocerus insidiator F. var. imitator, was reported as new to the fauna of Albania (van der Heyden, 2017). In this note, the first records of the very similar species Gonocerus insidiator (Fabricius, 1787) in Albania are published. The genus Gonocerus Berthold, 1827 includes nine species; three of them can be found in the Mediterranean Region: Gonocerus acuteangulatus (Goeze, 1778), G. insidiator and G. juniperi Herrich- Schäffer, 1839 (Fauna Europaea, 2017). G. insidiator is considered a Holomediterranean species. -

Car- retera México-Texcoco km 36.5, Montecillo, Texcoco, Estado de México, C.P. 56230 Abstract The metathoracic scent gland of 25-day-old adults of both sexes of the leaf-footed bug, Leptoglossus zonatus (Dallas) (Heteroptera: Coreidae), are described based on optical microscopy analysis. No sexual dimorphism was observed in the glandular composition of this species. The gland is located in the anteroventral corner of the metathoracic pleura between the middle and posterior coxal pits. The opening to the outside of the gland is very wide and permanently open as it lacks a protective membrane. In the internal part, there is a pair of metathoracic glands that consist of piles of intertwined and occasionally bifurcated cellular tubes or columns. These glands discharge their pheromonal contents into the reservoir through a narrow cuticular tube. The reservoir connects with the vestibule via two opposite and assembled cuticular folds that can separate muscularly in order to allow the flow of liquid away from the insect. The external part consists of an ostiole from which the pheromone is emitted. -

Gene content, gene arrangement, nucleotide composition, codon usage, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) structures, and sequences of the mitochondrial transcription termination factor were well conserved in Pyrrhocoroidea. Different protein-coding genes have been subject to different evolutionary rates correlated with the G + C content. The size of control regions (CRs) was highly variable among mitogenomes of three sequenced Pyrrhocoroidea species, with the P. -
