A THESIS for the DEGREE of DOCTOR of PHILOSOPHY By A THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Systematic review of subfamily Phylinae (Hemiptera: Miridae) in Korean Peninsula with molecular phylogeny of Miridae By Ram Keshari Duwal Program in Entomology Department of Agricultural Biotechnology Seoul National University February, 2013 Systematic review of subfamily Phylinae (Hemiptera: Miridae) in Korean Peninsula with molecular phylogeny of Miridae UNDER THE DIRECTION OF ADVISER SEUNGHWAN LEE SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSIITY By Ram Keshari Duwal Program in Entomology Department of Agricultural Biotechnology Seoul National University February, 2013 APRROVED AS A QUALIFIED DISSERTATION OF RAM KESHARI DUWAL FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS CHAIRMAN Si Hyeock Lee VICE CHAIRMAN Seunghwan Lee MEMBER Young-Joon Ahn MEMBER Yang-Seop Bae MEMBER Ki-Jeong Hong ABSTRACT Systematic review of subfamily Phylinae (Hemiptera: Miridae) in Korean Peninsula with molecular phylogeny of Miridae Ram Keshari Duwal Program of Entomology, Department of Agriculture Biotechnology The Graduate School Seoul National University The study conducted two themes: (1) The systematic review of subfamily Phylinae (Heteroptera: Miridae) in Korean Peninsula, with brief zoogeographic discussion in East Asia, and (2) Molecular phylogeny of Miridae: (i) Higher group relationships within family Miridae, and (ii) Phylogeny of subfamily Phylinae. In systematic review a total of eighty four species in twenty eight genera of Phylines are recognized from the Korean Peninsula. During this study, twenty new reports including six new species were investigated; and purposed a synonym and revised recombination. Keys to genera and species, diagnosis, descriptions including male and female genitalia, illustrations and short biological notes are provided for each of the species. Molecular based higher group relationships, and detail phylogenetic relationships of subfamily Phylinae were conducted. The higher group relationships were analyzed using 159 taxa, including seven subfamilies and six outgroups. The results of analysis indicated that subfamilies Cylapinae, Deraeocorinae, Isometopinae, Mirinae and Phylinae are monophyly, whereas Bryocorinae and Orthotylinae are paraphyletic. Dicyphini (of Bryocorinae) occurs as i a sister group to all remaining mirid taxa. Further, the phylogenetic analyses of subfamily Phylinae based on 68 taxa including 57 ingroup and 11 outgroup taxa (which include taxa of other subfamilies in Miridae except Psallopinae) were conducted. The results of analyses assure that, tribes Auricillocorini and Hallodapini are monophyletic, tribe Phylini is non-monophyletic but its member do not fall into other tribes, Teleorhinus (of Pronotocrepini) lies within Phylini, and Lasiolabops is separated from Phylini. Similary, present analyses argue with the monophyly of Leucophoropterini and Pilophorini.

RIBES ** ABSTRACT: The present paper is a first addition to tbe preliminary cataloguo Jf the Heteropteru-fauna of the Canary Islands (HEISS & BAEZ.1990) and includes corrections, new taxonomic assignmcnts and further citations from literature and several new records. 29 species are reported as new to the Canarian fauna, but one species is a synonym (Geocoris pvbescens Jak. = G.timidus Put.) and 8 spccies are regarded as doubtíidspccies inquirenda which should be deleted from the list. This brings the total number of species known to date from Canary Islands to 333. Key words: Heteropteru, catalogue, new additions, Canary Islands RESUMEN: La presente aportación es una primera addenda al catálogo preliminar de los Heterópferos des las islas Canarias (HEISS & BAEZ, 1990). Incluye enmiendas, nuevos cambios taxonómicos, datos complementarios y numerosas citas inéditas. Todo ello se desglosa en cuatro secciones distintas dentro del segundo capítulo: referencias adicionales y cambios en la literatura, citas canarias nuevas, citas isleñas nuevas y specics inquirenda. De este acervo hay que entresacar 29 especies para incorporar a la fauna canaria, con relación a lar 3 13 inventariadas, pero una es una sinonimia (Geocoris pvbescem lak. = G.rimidus Put.) y 8 especies más se consideran dudosas, por lo que se eliminan de la lista, quedando pues un total de 333 especies que se estiman válidas.

Harris- There is a tendency at present in the biological sciences to shy away from systematics in favor of molecular biolof^ical studies. The Linnaoan system of dealing with the multitudinous forms of aiumate nature is being seriously questioned. Today, biologists are concerned with the synthesis of the living environment at levels of organiza- tion such as the "biota, community, population, organism, cell, and molecule."' No doubt emphasis in this line of endeavor will prove to be revealing as to the similarity and unity of organisms. As ad- vancements are made in this new approach to understanding the basic makeup of organisms, their similarity and life processes, there will still be a need for recognizing the great diversity of life forms.

C. eximium (Reuter) is recorded from China for the first time. Compsidolon punctulatum Qi and Nonnaizab, 1995 is treated as a junior synonym of Compsidolon nebulosum (Reuter, 1878). A key to Chinese species of Compsidolon Reuter is given. Photographs of dorsal habitus, scanning electron micrographs of metathoracic scent-gland, and illustrations of male genitalia are also provided. All type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Nankai University, Tianjin, China. Key words: Heteroptera, Miridae, Compsidolon, new species, new synonymy, China Introduction Reuter (1899) erected the monotypic genus Compsidolon to accommodate the type species, C. elegantulum from Syria. It was characterized by the dorsum covered with dark spots. Wagner (1965, 1975) presented keys to subgenera and species, and illustrated the male genitalia. His works were focused on the European fauna. Linnavuori (1992, 1993, 2010) recorded species from Greece, Middle East, and Africa.

  • The Biology of the Predator Complex of the Filbert Aphid, Myzocallis Coryli
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Russell H. Messing for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology presented in July 1982 Title: The Biology of the Predator Complex of the Filbert Aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze) in Western Oregon. Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy M. T. AliNiiee Commercial filbert orchards throughout the Willamette Valley were surveyed for natural enemies of the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze). A large number of predaceous insects were found to prey upon M. coryli, particularly members of the families Coccinellidae, Miridae, Chrysopidae, Hemerobiidae, and Syrphidae. Also, a parasitic Hymenopteran (Mesidiopsis sp.) and a fungal pathogen (Triplosporium fresenii) were found to attack this aphid species. Populations of major predators were monitored closely during 1981 to determine phenology and synchrony with aphid populations and to determine their relative importance. Adalia bipunctata, Deraeocoris brevis, Chrysopa sp. and Hemerobius sp. were found to be extremely well synchronized with aphid population development cycles. Laboratory feeding trials demonstrated that all 4 predaceous insects tested (Deraeocoris brevis, Heterotoma meriopterum, Compsidolon salicellum and Adalia bipunctata) had a severe impact upon filbert aphid population growth. A. bipunctata was more voracious than the other 3 species, but could not live as long in the absence of aphid prey. Several insecticides were tested both in the laboratory and field to determine their relative toxicity to filbert aphids and the major natural enemies. Field tests showed Metasystox-R to be the most effective against filbert aphids, while Diazinon, Systox, Zolone, and Thiodan were moderately effective. Sevin was relatively ineffective. All insecticides tested in the field severely disrupted the predator complex.
