Clarke, Director Ephraim Porter Felt, State Entomologist Museum Bulletin 165 28th REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1912 Dr John M. Clarke, Director of Science Division I have the honor to present herewith my report on the injurious and other insects of the State of New York for the year ending September 30, 1912. The past season was remarkable because of the superabundance of the common apple tent caterpillar in the Hudson and Mohawk valleys and on the borders of the Adirondacks. The pests were so numerous that most of the wild cherries on the roadside were defoliated and many orchards severely injured. There were reports of local damage here and there by the allied forest tent cater- pillar; in several sections extended tracts were stripped of foliage. There is at least a fair probability of the insect being more abund- ant another season and possibly causing serious injury locally. The green maple worm, so numerous last year, attracted no atten- tion the past season. Petroleum compounds as insecticides. Dead and dying trees in several Greene county orchards which had been sprayed the pre- ceding fall with a commercial preparation of petroleum, led to a careful study of the cases and the behavior of the trees through the season. A comparison was also made between the condition of these trees and injury of earlier years following applications of petroleum. We were unable to note any material difference between the two and, furthermore, observed a marked restriction of the damage to trees or even portions of trees which had re- ceived the application. A detailed discussion of our findings is given below, and after a careful study of the various phases of the matter we were forced to conclude that a certain measure of [5] 6 NEW YORK STATK MUSia'M risk attaches to tlie application of mineral oils or preparations of the same to trees in a dormant condition. Fruit tree pests. The experiments of the last three years against the codling moth have been continued in the orchard of Mr Thomas Albright, New Baltimore, and very satisfactory returns obtained. The check or unspraycd tree produced only 38.95 per cent of sound fruit, while other trees of the same variety, less than 100 feet away, yielded over 97, and in some instances, more than 98 per cent of worm-free apples. The results obtained in this experiment and those of earlier years were checked by a careful study of representative trees in the orchards of Messrs W. H. Hart, Poughkeepsie, and Edward Van Alstyne, Kinderhook. These latter were sprayed under strictly commercial conditions with no expectation at that time of their being subjected to a test later. The results in these commercial orchards were exceed- ingly gratifying. The northern spies belonging to Mr Hart pro- duced an average of over 98 per cent of sound fruit, while the greenings and Baldwins on the Van Alstyne place gave an average of over 96 per cent of worm-free apples. The results of the past four years' experiments go far to show that under normal crop conditions one thorough and timely spraying for the codling moth should result in producing from 95 to 98 per cent of sound fruit. These tests are of great practical value to the fruit grower, since they afford a reliable basis for correctly estimating the value of spray applications. The pear thrips, a minute insect which blasted or nearly destroyed the pear crop in a few orchards in the Hudson valley, was studied with special reference to conditions favoring injury, and the efficacy of spraying with a tobacco preparation demonstrated. The insect, potentially a very dangerous form, is discussed in this report. The work of the pear midge was investigated and a number of extremely desirable photographs of the larva and its work secured. Gipsy moth. The danger of injury by this notorious pest was emphasized by the discovery of a small colony, practically restricted to a city block at Geneva. A personal examination of the locality showed that the infestation was probably of three or four years' standing. The chances are at least fair that the insect was intro- duced in that locality with nursery stock, though no undoubted evidence as to the source of the infestation has been adduced. We may expect the discovery of similar colonies from time to time, and for a period at least, no effort should Ije spared to REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST I912 7 exterminate such outlying infestations, as this poHcy is much cheaper and decidedly more advantageous to the general welfare than the adoption of repressive measures with the inevitable slow spread of the insect and shortly the greatly increased cost of controlling the pest incident to its being distributed over an extended area. Such measures are also advisable, since checking the normal spread is most advantageous for the development of introduced parasites, a number of which have already been established in this country.

  • 36 Pacific Northwest Forest
    1975 USDA Forest Service General Technical Report PNW -36 115 PROPERTY OF: CASCADE HEAD EXPERIMENTAL FOREST AND SCENIC RESEARCH AREA OTIS, OREGON PACIFIC NORTHWEST FOREST AND RANGE EXPERIMENT STATION Ii S nF PARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOREST SERVICE ABSTRACT Insects that feed on fungi are primary dispersal agents for many beneficial and pathogenic species. Nearly 300 references on the subject, published since the mid-19th century are listed in this bibliography. Keywords: Bibliography, insect vectors, mycophagy, spores. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Robert Fogel is research assistant with Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, and collaborator with the Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station. For well over a century, certain insects have been known to feed on fungal fruiting bodies. Spore-eating insects have been presumed to be vectors of the fungi eaten. Only recently, however, have spores been demonstrated to remain viable after passage through an insects digestive tract (Leach et al. 1934, Nuorteva and Laine 1972). These works have reawakened interest in the role of insect mycophagy in dissemination of pathogenic, mycorrhizal, and other fungi. References in this bibliography are intended to provide an entry into the insect mycophagy literature. For brevity, most papers cited by earlier reviewers are not listed individually in this bibliography; i.e., papers cited by Hingley (1971), Benick (1952), Graham (1967), Weber (1972b), and Weiss (1921). The few references that I could not personally verify are marked with an asterisk and are cited as found in secondary sources. The most frequently reported insect mycophagists are either Diptera, mainly Mycetophilidae or Phoridae, and Coleoptera, separable into bark beetles and other beetles.

  • Gall Midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) of Cádiz Province (South-Western Spain)
    Boletín de la Sociedad Entomológica Aragonesa (S.E.A.), nº 51 (31/12/2012): 221‒236. GALL MIDGES (DIPTERA: CECIDOMYIIDAE) OF CÁDIZ PROVINCE (SOUTH-WESTERN SPAIN) Iñigo Sánchez1, Marcela Skuhravá2 & Václav Skuhravý2 1 Zoobotánico de Jerez, c/ Taxdirt s/n. 11404 Jerez, (Cádiz, Spain). 2 Bitovska 1227, CZ-140 00 Praha 4, Czech Republic. Abstract: In the period 2004-2011 103 gall midge species of 37 genera were found at 63 localities in Cádiz province, south- western Spain, all of them belonging to the subfamily Cecidomyiinae. Together with 14 species found by earlier authors, the present gall midge fauna of Cádiz province includes 117 species, representing about 40% of the Iberian fauna of this group. 21 species are new to the Iberian Peninsula, whose known gall midge fauna thus includes 282 species. 11 species pre- viously known only from Portugal are here recorded from Spain for the first time. The known Spanish fauna now includes 261 gall midge species. We also found nine undescribed species that we identified only to genus level and will be described in the future. An analysis is made of the species’ frequency: Phyllodiplosis cocciferae comes out as the most frequent species in Cádiz province. The distribution types of the species are also analysed; in this connection two species stand out: Asphondylia salso- lae, a Euro-African species and the newest addition to the known gall midge fauna of the Iberian Peninsula, Spain and Europe, and Dasineura gleditchiae, the only alien species, of a Nearctic origin. Gall midge gallswere found on 27 new host plant species, some of them endemic to Spain.

  • Vol. XIV, No. 3, March, 1952 443 Additions and Corrections To
    Vol. XIV, No. 3, March, 1952 443 Additions and Corrections to Bryan's Check List of the Hawaiian Diptera1 By D. ELMO HARDY UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII, COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION (Presidential Address, delivered, in part, December 10, 1951) R. C. L. Perkins made the first comprehensive collection of the Ha waiian flies and the dipterous portions of the "Fauna Hawaiiensis" were based largely upon material which he had collected. The "Fauna Ha waiiensis" (Grimshaw, 1901-1902; Speiser, 1902, and Perkins 1910, 1913) recorded one hundred ninety-two species from the Territory. These were arranged in twenty-seven families and apparently represented one hun dred thirty-five endemic species and fifty-seven which had been intro duced. Since that time the order was not reviewed until Bryan's excellent work^ (1934 "Proceedings"2 8:399-458). Except for the "Fauna Hawaii ensis" this is the most important contribution which has been made to the literature pertaining to the Hawaiian Diptera. It has proved an in valuable aid to the study of our flies. Bryan's check list contained three hundred twenty-nine species and one variety. At least fifteen of these were incorrectly recorded from the islands or are synonyms of other species in our fauna. Some of the others are synonyms of species not pre viously recognized from Hawaii and many of the names were based upon misidentifications. Bryan recorded forty-two families in his list. Since Bryan's list, an additional one hundred sixty-two species and one subspecies have been recorded. In addition to these, sixty-plus species have been recorded, by genus only, as new records for the Territory, but at present specific names are not available for these.

    Diptera associated with fungi in the Czech and Slovak Republics Jan Ševčík Slezské zemské muzeum Opava D i p t e r a a s s o c i a t e d w i t h f u n g i i n t h e C z e c h a n d S l o v a k R e p u b l i c s Čas. Slez. Muz. Opava (A), 55, suppl.2: 1-84, 2006. Jan Ševčík A b s t r a c t: This work summarizes data on 188 species of Diptera belonging to 26 families reared by the author from 189 species of macrofungi and myxomycetes collected in the Czech and Slovak Republics in the years 1998 – 2006. Most species recorded belong to the family Mycetophilidae (84 species), followed by the families Phoridae (16 spp.), Drosophilidae (12 spp.), Cecidomyiidae (11 spp.), Bolitophilidae (9 spp.), Muscidae (8 spp.) and Platypezidae (8 spp.). The other families were represented by less than 5 species. For each species a list of hitherto known fungus hosts in the Czech and Slovak Republic is given, including the previous literature records.
