Arts and Science College, Vriddhachalam Article History: Received 14th October ,2016, Accepted 30th November,2016, Published 1st December,2016 ABSTRACT Spermatozoa morphology has, for some years, been used to help answer some phylogenetic questions for Coleoptera. In the present study describing spermatozoa morphology of an Aulacophora species was observed. Aulacophora foveicollis spermatozoa overall length measured 636±30.1µm and head length was 30.8±2.3µm. The ratio of the head length and tail length ~ 32.1.Spermatozoa head portion of the nucleus appears star like structure exposed by DAPI. In Aulacophora nigripennis spermatozoa overall length measured 355±21µm and the head length of the single sperm measured 11.3±1.1µm. The ratio of the head length and tail length was ~ 25.1. Spermatozoa nucleus appears kite like structure exposed by DAPI. Flagellar length of A.foveicollis spermatozoa was long and strongly attached in sperm head. In A.nigripennis appeared short and weakly breakup from the sperm head. The length of sperm heads was not always proportional to the total lengths of the sperm. The similarity of the A.foveicollis and A.nigripennis sperms appear rope like structure and the characters with those of Coleopteran indicates a clear phylogenetic relationship of Chrysomeloidea.

  • Cellular Energy Allocation in the Predatory Bug, Andrallus Spinidens Fabricius
    JOURNAL OF PLANT PROTECTION RESEARCH Vol. 54, No. 1 (2014) DOI: 10.2478/jppr-2014-0012 Cellular energy allocation in the predatory bug, Andrallus spinidens Fabricius (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), following sublethal exposure to diazinon, fenitrothion, and chlorpyrifos Moloud Gholamzadeh Chitgar1*, Jalil Hajizadeh1, Mohammad Ghadamyari1, Azadeh Karimi-Malati1, Mahbobe Sharifi1, Hassan Hoda2 1 Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agricultural Science, University of Guilan, P.O. Box 1841, Rasht, Iran 2 Department of Biological Control, Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection, P.O. Box 145, Amol, Iran Received: July 13, 2013 Accepted: January 27, 2014 Abstract: It is necessary to study the biochemical changes in insects exposed to toxicants if we want to predict the potential of vari- ous chemicals on the natural enemy. Physiological energy, as a biochemical biomarker, may be affected by many pesticides including organophosphate compounds. Therefore, in this study, the sublethal effects of diazinon, fenitrothion, and chlorpyrifos on the cellular energy allocation (CEA) of the predatory bug, Andrallus spinidens Fabricius (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), a potential biological control agent, was studied on 5th-instar nymphs. Among the energy reserves of the A. spinidens nymphs, only total protein was significantly affected by pesticide treatments, and the highest value was observed in chlorpyrifos treatment. The energy available (Ea) and energy consumption (Ec) in A. spinidens were significantly affected by these pesticides. In exposed bugs, these parameters were affected by fenitrothion and chlorpyrifos more than diazinon. The activity of the electron transport system (ETS) in the Ec assay showed that A. spinidens exposed to chlorpyrifos had the highest rate of oxygen consumption. Although, there was no significant change in CEA, the insecticides caused a marked change in the physiological balance of A.

Yufu, Western Japan Kyoko YAMAZAKI and Makoto KATO Graduate School of Human and Environmenta1 Studies, Kyoto University, Yoshida-Nihonmatsu-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto, 606-8501 Japan ABSTRACT The hillsides of Mt, Yufu, located in Kyusyu, Japan, is a dormant yolcano, are coyered with natural and semi-natural grasslands; the latter of which are maintained by traditional mowing and burning. Both the natura1 and semi-natura1 grasslands are inhabited by many grassland-specific plant species, some of which are now endangered in Japan. To understand pollination mutualisms in the grassland ecosystem, we investigated the flowering phenology and anthophilous insect communities on 149 plant species from 49 different plant families, from April to October 2001. In tota1, 1192 individuals from 308 species, 83 families and 10 orders of Insecta were observed on flowers of 101 plant species. The most abundant insect order was Hymenoptera (37.89o of individuals), followed by Diptera (32.59o), Coleoptera (22.79o) and Lepidoptera (6.29o), The proportions of Coleoptera and Lepidoptera were respectively smaller and greater than in forested habitats, suggesting that many anthophilous beetles depend on woody plants during their larval stages and that anthophilous butterflies (especially Nymphalidae) are associated with grassland-specific perennials (especially Viola spp.) in their larval stages.

  • Efficacy of Entomopathogens for Control of Blue Pumpkin Beetle
    G.J.B.A.H.S.,Vol.5(2):102-105 (April-June,2016) ISSN: 2319 – 5584 Efficacy of entomopathogens for control of blue pumpkin beetle (Aulacophora nigripennis motschulsky, 1857) in sponge gourd ( Luffa cylindrica) under laboratory condition at Paklihawa, Nepal S.S. Bhattarai, S. Koirala Bishwokarma, S. Gurung, P. Dhami & Y. Bishwokarma Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS) Abstract With the objective of studying the efficacy of entomopathogens for the control of blue pumpkin beetle in sponge gourd, a lab experiment was conducted from 2015/10/1 to 2015/10/12 at the entomology lab of Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Paklihawa, Rupandehi. The design of the setup used was completely randomised design (CRD) with four treatments along with control and five replications. Three entomopathogens were used in experiment among them two were fungi; Metarrhizium anisopliae, Beauveria bassiana, while Bacillus thuringiensis was bacteria. Singly treated leaves of different size were kept in each 20 boxes which were changed on third day after first placement and later continued at 2 days interval. Eight beetles per box were kept to know the mortality by different treatments. Amongst all, Beauveria bassiana recorded the highest mean mortality (4.4), followed by Bacillus thuringiensis (4) and Metarrhizium anisopliae (3.3) as against 0.6 in control. Taking day, treatment and mortality as the parameter, Beauveria bassiana was found to have significant difference over Metarrhizium anisopliae and Control but insignificant over Bacillus thuringiensis. The order of efficacy was ranked as; Beauvaria bassiana>Bacillus thuringiensis>Metarrhizium anisopliae> Control. Keywords: Entomopathogens, mortality, blue pumpkin beetle, sponge gourd.

  • Wolbachia Endosymbionts in Korean Coleopteran Insects Gilsang Jeong1* , Taeman Han2, Haechul Park2, Soyeon Park3 and Pureum Noh4
    Jeong et al. Journal of Ecology and Environment (2019) 43:42 Journal of Ecology https://doi.org/10.1186/s41610-019-0143-2 and Environment RESEARCH Open Access Distribution and recombination of Wolbachia endosymbionts in Korean coleopteran insects Gilsang Jeong1* , Taeman Han2, Haechul Park2, Soyeon Park3 and Pureum Noh4 Abstract Background: Wolbachia are among the most prevalent endosymbiotic bacteria and induce reproductive anomalies in various invertebrate taxa. The bacterium has huge impacts on host reproductive biology, immunity, evolution, and molecular machinery. However, broad-scale surveys of Wolbachia infections at the order scale, including the order Coleoptera, are limited. In this study, we investigated the Wolbachia infection frequency in 201 Coleopteran insects collected in Korea. Results: A total of 26 species (12.8%) belonging to 11 families harbored Wolbachia. The phylogenetic trees of based on partial 16S rRNA gene sequences and partial Wolbachia surface protein (wsp) gene sequences were largely incongruent to that of their hosts. This result confirms that Wolbachia evolved independently from their hosts, Conclusion: Phylogenetic trees suggest that complex horizontal gene transfer and recombination events occurred within and between divergent Wolbachia subgroups. Keywords: Horizontal gene transfer, Recombination, Wolbachia Background approach for the control of Aedes aegypti, a vector of fatal Wolbachia are highly prevalent endosymbiotic bacteria viruses, such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya (O'Neill known to induce reproductive anomalies, such as 2016; O'Neill et al. 2018). Similar approaches for control cytoplasmic incompatibility, feminization, male-killing, are not necessarily limited to mosquito species but can be and parthenogenesis, in various arthropod species, nem- applied to virtually any host pest (Rostami et al.
