Munis Entomology & Zoology, 8 (1): 262-266] ABSTRACT: A new aphid species, Brachycaudus (Appelia) shwartzi (Borner) was recorded for the first time in Egypt during the present work. This species was heavily infested leaves of apricot, Prunus armeniaca and peaches Prunus persica during May, 2006 at El-Tahrir, El- Behera Governorate. Identification procedure was confirmed by Prof. R. Blackman at British Museum, in London. Brief verbal and drafting description for alate viviparous female of this new recorded species was carried out. Moreover a simple bracket key was constructed to identify the three recorded species of genus Brachycaudus in Egypt. KEY WORDS: Brachycaudus, Aphididae, Egypt. Family Aphididae is one of the most important groups of Aphidoidea which contain more than 4400 aphid species placed in 493 genera, and is considered as one of the most prolific groups of insects. They are capable not only rapid increase of population though parthenogenesis but also transmission of plant viral diseases and secreting honey dew which become suitable media for sooty moulds, so they are regarded as one of the most important groups of agricultural pests.

  • The Phytophagous Insect Fauna of Scotch Thistle, Onopordum Acanthium L., in Southeastern Washington and Northwestern Idaho
    Proceedings of the X International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds 233 4-14 July 1999, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana, USA Neal R. Spencer [ed.]. pp. 233-239 (2000) The Phytophagous Insect Fauna of Scotch Thistle, Onopordum acanthium L., in Southeastern Washington and Northwestern Idaho J. D. WATTS1 and G. L. PIPER Department of Entomology, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington 99164-6382, USA Abstract Scotch thistle, Onopordum acanthium L. (Asteraceae: Cardueae), a plant of Eurasian origin, has become an increasingly serious pasture, rangeland, wasteland, and roadside weed in the western United States. Prior to the implementation of a biological control agent acquisition and release program, a domestic survey was carried out at 16 sites in five southeastern Washington and northwestern Idaho counties between 1995-96 to ascertain the plant’s existing entomofauna. Thirty phytophagous insect species in six orders and 17 families were found to be associated with the thistle. Hemiptera, Homoptera, and Coleoptera were the dominant ectophagous taxa, encompassing 50, 20, and 17% of all species found, respectively. The family Miridae contained 60% of the hemipteran fauna. Onopordum herbivores were polyphagous ectophages, and none of them reduced popula- tions of or caused appreciable damage to the plant. The only insect that consistently fed and reproduced on O. acanthium was the aphid Brachycaudus cardui (L.). A notable gap in resource use was the absence of endophages, particularly those attacking the capitula, stems, and roots. Consequently, the importation of a complex of nonindigenous, niche- specific natural enemies may prove to be a highly rewarding undertaking. Key Words: Onopordum, Scotch thistle, weed, biological control, entomofauna Scotch thistle, Onopordum acanthium L.

As a result, a total of 21 ant species representing 13 genera and 3 subfamilies and 26 aphid species belonging to 13 genera from 37 host plant species were collected and identified. Among the recorded ant species, the genus Crematogaster with four species had the highest species richness. The three most frequent aphid attendant ants were Lepisiota nigra (Dalla Torre, 1893), Tapinoma erraticum (Latreille, 1798) and Crematogaster inermis Mayr, 1862 associated with 11, 10 and 9 aphid species, respectively. Eleven ant species were recorded from the colonies of one aphid species. Among the recorded ants, the species Crematogaster sordidula (Nylander, 1849) is new to Iranian ant fauna. This record increases the recorded ant-fauna of Iran to over 171 species. Among the identified aphid species, Aphis craccivora Koch, 1856 had the highest ant attraction.

This study investigated whether host specialization is also observed when closely related parasitoids exploit herbivorous hosts sharing the same host plant. The question was addressed in economically relevant aphid parasitoids of the Lysiphlebus fabarum group. They exploit two aphid species (Aphis fabae cirsiiacanthoides and Brachycaudus cardui), co-occurring in mixed colonies (syntopy) on the spear thistle (Cirsium vulgare). Two morphologically distinguishable parasitoid lineages of the genus Lysiphlebus were observed and each showed virtually perfect host specialization on one of the two aphid species in this system.

The research conducted in Poland proved that this species can be described as ho- locyclic and monoecious. A significantly shortened development cycle with a summer-winter diapause characterizes this species in Poland. The aim of our studies was a detailed research of the species biology conducted to explain this phenomenon. Elements of the biology and ecology of the new fauna species Brachycaudus divaricatae Shap., were studied in Poland during the 2008–2010 time period. The term of spring hatching, number of generations per season, development length of particular generations, lifespan of specimen, and fecundity of particular generations were all defined. The three-year study proved that 6 to 8 aphid generations can develop on P. cerasifera in Poland. The emergence of sexuales (amphigonic females and males) of B. divaricatae occurred very early in the season: in mid-May, and the first eggs were laid in June.

  • Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on Plum and Cherry Plum in Bulgaria
    DOI: 10.2478/ahr-2020-0004 Pavlin Vasilev, Radoslav Andreev, Hristina Kutinkova Acta Horticulturae et Regiotecturae 1/2020 Acta Horticulturae et Regiotecturae 1 Nitra, Slovaca Universitas Agriculturae Nitriae, 2020, pp. 12–16 APHIDS (HEMIPTERA: APHIDIDAE) ON PLUM AND CHERRY PLUM IN BULGARIA Pavlin VASILEV*, Radoslav ANDREEV, Hristina KUTINKOVA Agricultural University, Plovdiv, Bulgaria The species complex and infestations of aphids on plum (Prunus persica) and cherry plum (Prunus cerasifera) in Bulgaria were investigated during the period 2013–2018. Nine species from the family Aphididae were found: Brachycaudus helichrysi Kaltenbach (leaf-curling plum aphid), Hyalopterus pruni Geoffroy (mealy plum aphid), Phorodon humuli Schrank (hop aphid), Brachycaudus prunicola Kaltenbach (brown plum aphid), Brachycaudus cardui Linnaeus (thistle aphid), Brachycaudus persicae Passerini (black peach aphid), Rhopalosiphum nymphaeae Linnaeus (waterlily aphid), Aphis spiraecola Patch (spiraea aphid) and Pterochloroides persicae Cholodkovsky (peach trunk aphid). The dominant species on plum are Hyalopterus pruni and Brachycaudus helichrysi. The first species is more widespread and of significantly higher density. The dominant species on cherry plum are Phorodon humuli and B. helichrysi. The species Brachycaudus prunicola is widespread both on plum and cherry plum in Bulgaria. It was found only on twigs, and therefore cannot be considered as a dangerous pest on fruit-bearing plum trees. The other species, some of them described as dangerous pests on plum, are today fairly rare and occur in low density, thus posing no danger to orchards. Keywords: Brachycaudus, Hyalopterus, Phorodon, Rhopalosiphum, Pterochloroides, Aphis In recent years, the areas with stone fruit orchards in Bulgaria the following two years – in orchards of 128 municipalities have considerably exceeded the areas with other fruit crops across all 28 districts of Bulgaria – in 2014, the southern part (Agrostatistics, 2016).

Zakubanskiy, A. A. Sheveleva, and S. N. Chirkov* Department of Biology, Moscow State University, Moscow, 119234 Russia *e-mail: [email protected] Received December 30, 2015 Abstract—Plum pox virus (PPV, genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) is the most important virus pathogen of stone fruit cultures of the genus Prunus from an economical standpoint. Winona strain (PPV-W) is the most variable of nine known virus strains and one of the most widespread in the European part of Russia. Six new PPV-W isolates were first discovered in green plantations of Moscow (Kp2U, Avang, Pulk, Pulk-1), in Tal- domsky district of Moscow region (Karm), and in Kovrovsky district of Vladimir region (Vlad-4) on wild trees of plum Prunus domestica. 3'-Terminal segment of genome of new isolates was notable for high variability level. The study on the relationship with other isolates of this strain by means of phylogenetic analysis of gene sequence of the coat protein showed the lack of clusterization of Russian PPV-W isolates according to geo- graphical principle. Inoculation of Nicotiana benthamiana plants by hop plant louse Phorodon humili from plum trees infected with Avang and Pulk isolates and by thistle aphid Brachycaudus cardui from the tree infected with Kp2U isolate led to the systemic viral infection in indicator plants, suggesting the possibility of PPV-W spread by both aphid species in nature.
