In spring period, the leaflets of the tree are attacked by various types of aphids which transform them into galls. The aim of this study was to identify the histoanatomical characteristics of leaflets galls induced by Geoica utricularia Passerini and Paracletus cimiciformis von Heyden. The study site is under semiarid bioclimatic range and belong the western Algerian region. Histological cuts on galls and healthy leaflets are studied by using following colorations: Mayer he- matoxylineosin and Safranin O Fastgreen. The results show that the anatomy of leaflets is common to those founding in dicotyledonous witch present a xeromorphic characters like a thick palisade parenchyma, a remarkable cuticle and the presence of numerous stomata. However, pathologic leaflets present a hypertrophy and hyperplasia of vascular bun- dles.This indicates the adaptation of the specie to the semiarid climatic conditions of the studied area and consequently the morphological modification of the leaflets in galls that serve ecological niche for aphids.

  • Colonization of Ecological Islands: Galling Aphid Populations (Sternorrhyncha: Aphidoidea: Pemphigidae) on Recoveringpistacia Trees After Destruction by Fire
    Eur. J.

Wise Faculty of Life Sciences, Tel Aviv University, 69978 Israel; e-mail: [email protected] Gall-forming aphids, Pemphigidae, Fordinae,Pistacia, fire, recolonization Abstract. Pistacia palaestina (Anacardiaceae) is a common tree in the natural forest of Mt. Carmel, Is­ rael, and the primary host of five common species of gall-forming aphids (Sternorrhyncha: Aphidoidea: Pemphigidae: Fordinae). After a forest fire, resprouting P. palaestina trees, which are colonized by migrants from outside the burned area, become “ecological islands” for host-specific herbivores. A portion of the Carmel National Park was destroyed by fire in September of 1989. The same winter, thirty-nine resprouting trees that formed green islands in the otherwise barren environment were identified and marked. Tree growth was extraordinarily vigorous during the first year after the fire, but shoot elon­ gation declined markedly in subsequent years. Recolonization of the 39 “islands” by the Fordinae was studied for six consecutive years. Although the life cycle of the aphids and the deciduous phenology of the tree dictate that the “islands” must be newly recolonized every year, the results of this study show that trees are persistently occupied once colonized. This is probably due to establishment of aphid colonies on the roots of secondary hosts near each tree following the first successful production of a gall. Differences in colonization success of different species could be related to both the abundance of dif­ ferent aphid species in the unburned forest and the biological characteristics of each aphid species.

Kramina, Tahir H. Samigullin & Ilya G. Meschersky Summary: The problem of cryptic species is well known in taxonomy of different groups of organisms, including plants, and their recognition can contribute to the assessment of global biodiversity and the development of conservation methods. Analyses of Lotus glareosus and related taxa from the Iberian Peninsula based on various types of data (i.e. sequences of nuclear ribosomal ITS-1-2, 5’ETS and cpDNA trnL-F, seven loci of nuclear microsatellites) revealed that the material earlier determined as ‘L. glareosus’ is subdivided into two genetically distant groups: L. carpetanus, related to L. conimbricensis, and L. glareosus, included in the L. corniculatus complex. Though only slight morphological distinctions were found between them, significant genetic differences comparable to those between sections of the genus Lotus (p-distance 0.07– 0.08 in ITS, 0.060 – 0.067 in ETS and 0.010 – 0.013 in trnL-F; substitution number 43 – 47 bp in ITS, 22–24 bp in ETS and 12–14 bp in trnL-F) and no evidence of genetic exchange suggest that these groups may represent two deeply diverged lineages that should be treated as two separate species.

  • Aspects of the Biology and Taxonomy of British Myrmecophilous Root Aphids
    Aspects of the biology and taxonomy of British myrmecophilous root aphids. by Richard George PAUL, BoSc.(Lond.),17.90.(Glcsgow). Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosopk,. of the University of London and for the Diploma of Imperial Colleao Decemi)or 1977. Dopartaent o:vv. .;:iotory)c Cromwell Road. 1.0;AMOH )t=d41/: -1- ABSTRACT. This thesis concerns the biology and taxonomy of root feeding aphids associated with British ants. A root aphid for the purposes of this thesis is defined as an aphid which, during at least part of its life cycle feeds either (a) beneath the normal soil surface or (b) beneath a tent of soil that has been placed over it by ants. The taxonomy of the genera Paranoecia and Anoecia has been revised and some synonomies proposed. Chromosome numbers have been discovered for Anoecia spp. and are used to clarify the taxonomy. The biology of Anoecia species has been studied and new facts about their life cycles have been discovered. A key is given to the British r European, African and North American species of Anoeciinae and this is included in a key to British myrmecophilous root aphids. Suction trap catches (1968-1976) from about twenty British traps have been used as a record of seasonal flight patterns for root aphids. All the Anoecia species caught in 1975 and 1976 were identified on the basis of new taxonomic work. Catches which had formerly all been identified as Anoecia corni were found to be A. corni, A. varans and A. furcata. The information derived from the catches was used to plot relative abundance and distribution maps for the three species.

  • Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea) Associated with Native Trees in Malta (Central Mediterranean)
    BULLETIN OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF MALTA (2009) Vol. 2 : 81-93 Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea) associated with native trees in Malta (Central Mediterranean) David MIFSUD1, Nicolás PÉREZ HIDALGO2 & Sebastiano BARBAGALLO3 ABSTRACT. In the present study 25 aphid species which are known to be associated with trees in the Maltese Islands are recorded. Of these, 18 species represent new records; these include Aphis craccivora, Brachyunguis tamaricis, Cavariella aegopodii, Chaitophorus capreae, C. populialbae, Cinara cupressi, C. maghrebica, C. palaestinensis, Essigella californica, Eulachnus rileyi, E. tuberculostemmatus, Hoplocallis picta, Lachnus roboris, Myzocallis schreiberi, Tetraneura nigriabdominalis, Thelaxes suberi, Tinocallis takachihoensis and Tuberolachnus salignus. A number of the above mentioned species alternate hosts between the primary host, being the tree species, and secondary hosts being mainly roots of grasses. The record of Tetraneura ulmi could be incorrect and could possibly be referred to T. nigriabdominalis. Most of the aphid species recorded in the present study have restricted distribution in the Maltese Islands due to the rarity of their host trees. This is particularly so for those aphids associated with Populus, Quercus, Salix and Ulmus whose conservation should be addressed. INTRODUCTION Aphids belong to the suborder Sternorrhyncha within the order Hemiptera, along with scale insects, jumping plant-lice, or psylloids, and whiteflies. The Aphidoidea is predominantly a northern temperate group, richest in species in North America, Europe, and Central and Eastern Asia. A general feature of the life cycle of aphids is their parthenogenetic generations exploiting active growing plant parts and a sexual generation resulting in an overwintering diapause egg. The known world fauna of aphids consists of approximately 4400 described species placed in nearly 500 currently accepted genera.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Morphological differentiation of gall tissues induced on plants may play a role to characterize the real taxonomic position of the gall inducer. We verified this hypothesis with galls induced by Rectinasus buxtoni on Pistacia palaestina. There is controversy about the taxonomic localization of genus Rectinasus: in one classification it is situated with the genera Forda and Paracletus while in another it is linked to the genera Geoica and Baizongia. Histological examination of the walls of the galls reveals the presence of two opposed vascular bundles and an inner surface of the gall with cavities.

Aphid nymphs with enlarged fore- and mid-legs were found from woolly colonies of Thoracaphis kashifolia (Hormaphidinae, Nipponaphidini) on leaves of the evergreen Quercus glauca in Japan. It was shown that they grasped an introduced moth larva with their legs and some inserted their stylets deep into the body. These defenders were first-instar nymphs of the alate generation and were produced by aleyrodiform apterae from early September onward. There was a large variation in the size of their forelegs. First-instar nymphs (to be alates) produced early in the season had fore-femorotrochanters shorter than those produced later. The molting rate (the percentage of pharate individuals) of the latter was very low (less than 5% to zero), suggesting their semisterility.

However, the phylogenetic relationships among these tribes remain controversial, which has made it difficult to conduct further investigation regarding the evolution of galls and host alternations in this group. We analyzed the molecular phylogeny of the subfamily Eriosomatinae, combining sequences from 2 mitochondrial genes (COI and COII) and 2 nuclear genes (EF-1α and LWO). The reconstructions were implemented based on single-gene and multigene datasets through 3 different reconstructing algorithms, respectively; analyses with 5 different out-groups were also conducted. Results revealed a large paraphyletic clade, in which there were 4 out-groups clustering between Eriosomatini and the other 2 tribes. However, the monophyly of the 3 tribes was well supported by the obtained trees, respectively. Key words: Eriosomatinae, molecular phylogeny, monophyly, paraphyletic group 1.
