Genetic similarity among pheromone and voltinism races of Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Abstract The eg netic variability of seven European corn borer populations, Ostrinia nubilalis, from North America and Europe was assessed by polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis and DNA sequencing. The uclen ar ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS-1) region (≈ 500 base pair [bp]) and four mitochondrial (mtDNA) regions (1550 bp total) were examined. The ms artweed borer, Ostrinia obumbratalis, and south-Western corn borer, Diatraea grandiosella, were used for comparisons. Of 106 restriction sites identified (80 in mtDNA and 26 in ITS-1), none differentiated geographical populations, pheromone races, or voltine ecotypes of the European corn borer. The al ck of variation in the ITS-1 of European corn borer was confirmed by DNA sequence analysis. The eg netic similarity of European corn borer populations, despite their wide geographical range and physiological differences, may be explained by a relatively recent origin for the voltinism and pheromone races, gene flow among races, and/or expansion from genetic bottlenecks.

(LEP., CRAMBIDAE) BASED ON THE LIGHT AND PHEROMONE TRAP CATCHES IN NIENADÓWKA (SOUTH-EASTERN POLAND) IN 2006–2008 Paweł K. Bereś* Institute of Plant Protection – National Research Institute Regional Experimental Station Langiewicza 28, 35-101 Rzeszów, Poland Received: September 29, 2011 Accepted: October 30, 2011 Abstract: The experiment was conducted in the 2006–2008 time period, in Nienadówka near Rzeszów, Poland (50°11’ N, 22°06’ E). The high suitability of light traps for the monitoring of Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn. moth flights on maize fields was shown. These light traps were compared to the pheromone types of traps; the “delta” model, and the “funnel” with a pheromone dispenser containing Z–11–tetradecenyl acetate (series ONC036A and ONC048A/107). In the light trap, the first moths were found in the second decade or third decade of June. The population peak was in the first decade or second decade of July, and the end of the flight in August. In September 2007 and 2008, single O. nubilalis moths collected in the light trap indicated the presence of a small second pest generation. The first male moths were captured in the pheromone traps in the third decade of June or the first decade of July, with a slightly marked population peak in the first or second decade of July. The moth flight ended in the last decade of July. The first egg clusters of O. nubilalis were usually recorded 4–7 days after the first moths were found in the light trap.

  • Radiation-Induced Substerility of Ostrinia Furnacalis (Lepidoptera
    XA0201538 Radiation-induced substerility of Ostrinia furnacalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) integrated with the release of Trichogramma ostriniae (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) for area-wide control H.S. Wang, Q.R. Liu, D.G. Lu, E.D. Wang, W. Kang, X.H. Liu, Y.J. Li, Q.L. He, H.Q. Zhang Institute for Application of Atomic Energy, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing, China Abstract. The mating competitiveness of Ostrinia furnacalis Fi male moths (progeny of male parents irradiated with 200 Gy) was compared with the mating competitiveness of untreated moths. These studies revealed that Fx male moths were involved in more than 50% of the matings with normal females. The flight ability and response towards sex pheromone was similar for Fi and untreated moths, although the number of Fi moths captured was slightly less than the number of untreated moths captured. The number of eupyrene sperm in the testes of Pi moths treated with 200 Gy was similar to the number of eupyrene sperm in the testes of normal moths. However, the number of sperm bundles was significantly reduced in the testes of 200 Gy Fi moths. Compared to normal moths, daily sperm descent into the duplex ejaculatorius was affected only at day 3 after eclosion of Fi moths. Sperm transfer to spermatheca by 200 Gy Fi male moths was less than that of their irradiated (200 Gy) parents and of normal moths. Successive releases of Trichogramma ostriniae in the egg stage of first and second generation Ostrinia furnacalis were combined with the release of Fi moths from male parents treated with 200 Gy.

Spilomelinae and Pyraustinae form a species-rich monophylum of Crambidae (snout moths). Morphological distinction of the two groups has been diffcult in the past, and the morphologically heterogenous Spilomelinae has not been broadly accepted as a natural group due to the lack of convincing apomorphies.

Data on the parasitoids that attack a given host species can be used as negative evidence concerning the candidate whose host range is being evaluated. By compiling studies for a variety of host species, one can delineate those taxa unlikely to be attacked by the candidate. Using a retrospective case study of a parasitoid introduced into North America, we describe (1) this approach to using the literature to evaluate host range and (2) how well predictions based on such an evaluation match actual host range. Based on the host range of Macrocentrus grandii in Eurasia as reported in the literature, we predicted that the species in the genus Ostrinia are the most likely hosts. Of native North American species, Ostrinia obumbratalis is the only non-target species likely to be attacked by M. grandii. The predicted host range for North America matched the actual host range found in the field.

Evaluation of Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Neonate Preferences for Corn and Weeds in Corn Abstract Choice tests were conducted to determine feeding preferences of European corn borer,Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), neonates for 15 species of plants. Percentage of neonates accepting (found on) each leaf disc after 24 h was measured using choice tests. Initially, nine species of plants were evaluated. The following year, 10 plant species were evaluated during O. nubilalis first generation and 11 species during the second generation. Pennsylvania smartweed, Polygonum pennsylvanicum (L.), had the highest percentage of neonates accepting leaf discs in both years. Other plants with high acceptance rates included swamp smartweed, Polygonum amphibium L.; velvetleaf, Abutilon theophrasti Medicus; cocklebur, Xanthium strumarium L.; and yellow foxtail, Setaria glauca (L.).
