JENSEN Adjunct Faculty, Department of Entomology, Washington State University, Pullman, WA, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of the previously monotypic aphid genus Aphthargelia is described and the genus reviewed. The new spe- cies, A. rumbleboredomia is heteroecious, alternating between host plants in Symphoricarpos and Aconogonon in the mountains of northwestern North America. Descriptive notes on A. symphoricarpi are given, along with diagnostic fea- tures for separating the two species of the genus. A key to related genera is presented, and biological information on both species of Aphthargelia is summarized. Key words: Symphoricarpos, Lonicera, Polygonum, Aconogonon, Idaho, Washington, heteroecy, balsam, Macrosiphini, Landisaphis, Hyadaphis, Hayhurstia, Brevicoryne, Rhopalomyzus, Lipaphis Introduction Aphthargelia symphoricarpi (Thomas) is a widespread, easily recognized aphid species which exploits several species of Symphoricarpos (Caprifoliaceae) as hosts. Aphthargelia has been monotypic since it was created by Hottes (1958) for A. symphoricarpi, which had previously been placed in Brevicoryne van der Goot by Palmer (1952) and others. In 2010 the author found a species of Aphthargelia living on Aconogonon phytolaccifolium in the mountains of northern Idaho. Although this host association between Aphthargelia and Polygonaceae had escaped notice of most aphid specialists, Andersen (1991) reported ecological experiments involving an aphid species, feeding on Aconogonon davisiae, identified at that time as A.

    POSTER PRESENTATIONS ______________________________________________________________ Poster Presentations 423 IMPROVEMENT OF RELEASE METHOD FOR APHIDOLETES APHIDIMYZA (DIPTERA: CECIDOMYIIDAE) BASED ON ECOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIORAL STUDIES Junichiro Abe and Junichi Yukawa Entomological Laboratory, Kyushu University, Japan ABSTRACT. In many countries, Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani) has been used effectively as a biological control agent against aphids, particularly in greenhouses. In Japan, A. aphidimyza was reg- istered as a biological control agent in April 1999, and mass-produced cocoons have been imported from The Netherlands and United Kingdom since mass-rearing methods have not yet been estab- lished. In recent years, the effect of imported A. aphidimyza on aphid populations was evaluated in greenhouses at some Agricultural Experiment Stations in Japan. However, no striking effect has been reported yet from Japan. The failure of its use in Japan seems to be caused chiefly by the lack of detailed ecological or behavioral information of A. aphidimyza. Therefore, we investigated its ecological and behavioral attributes as follows: (1) the survival of pupae in relation to the depth of pupation sites; (2) the time of adult emergence in response to photoperiod during the pupal stage; (3) the importance of a hanging substrate for successful mating; and (4) the influence of adult size and nutrient status on adult longev- ity and fecundity. (1) A commercial natural enemy importer in Japan suggests that users divide cocoons into groups and put each group into a plastic container filled with vermiculite to a depth of 100 mm. However, we believe this is too deep for A. aphidimyza pupae, since under natural conditions mature larvae spin their cocoons in the top few millimeters to a maxmum depth of 30 mm.

In total 20 aphid species, representing 12 genera, were found infesting 35 medicinal and aromatic plant species under 31 genera encompassing 19 families. Aphis gossypii with 17 host plant species was the most polyphagous species followed by Myzus persicae and Aphis fabae that infested 15 and 12 host plant species respectively. Twenty-two host plant species had multiple aphid species infestation. Sonchus asper was infested by eight aphid species and was followed by Tagetes minuta, Galinosoga perviflora and Chenopodium album that were infested by 7, 6 and 5 aphid species respectively. Asteraceae with 11 host plant species under 10 genera, carrying 13 aphid species under 8 genera was the most aphid- prone plant family.

The list includes records before 1992, which have been published in previous papers, as well as data from an almost ten-year survey using Rothamsted suction traps and Moericke traps. The recorded aphidofauna consisted of 301 species. The family Aphididae is represented by 13 subfamilies and 120 genera (300 species), while only one genus (1 species) belongs to Phylloxeridae. The aphid fauna is dominated by the subfamily Aphidi- nae (57.1 and 68.4 % of the total number of genera and species, respectively), especially the tribe Macrosiphini, and to a lesser extent the subfamily Eriosomatinae (12.6 and 8.3 % of the total number of genera and species, respectively).
