Oise amber has eight species, Baltic amber has 118 species, and Rovno amber has 16 species. Nine new genera and 18 new species are described from Baltic amber. Four new synonyms are noted: Palaeometrioxena Legalov, 2012, syn. nov. is synonymous with Archimetrioxena Voss, 1953; Paleopissodes weigangae Ulke, 1947, syn. nov. is synonymous with Electrotribus theryi Hustache, 1942; Electrotribus erectosquamata Rheinheimer, 2007, syn. nov. is synonymous with Succinostyphlus mroczkowskii Kuska, 1996; Protonaupactus Zherikhin, 1971, syn. nov. is synonymous with Paonaupactus Voss, 1953. Keys for Eocene amber Curculionoidea are given. There are the first records of Aedemonini and Camarotini, and genera Limalophus and Cenocephalus in Baltic amber. Keywords: Coleoptera; Curculionoidea; fossil weevil; new taxa; keys; Palaeogene 1. Introduction The Curculionoidea are one of the largest and most diverse groups of beetles, including more than 62,000 species [1] comprising 11 families [2,3]. They have a complex morphological structure [2–7], ecological confinement, and diverse trophic links [1], which makes them a convenient group for characterizing modern and fossil biocenoses.

Twenty-three species documented from the parkway are first records for the state. Of the nine capture methods used during the survey, Malaise traps were the most successful. Periods of adult activity, based on dates of capture, are given for each species. Relative abundance is noted for each species based on the number of captures. Sixteen species adventive to North America are documented from the parkway, including three species documented for the first time in the state. Range extensions are documented for two species. Images of five species new to Virginia are provided. Keywords: beetles, biodiversity, Malaise traps, national parks, new state records, Potomac Gorge. INTRODUCTION This study provides a preliminary list of the weevils of the superfamily Curculionoidea within the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP) national park site in northern Virginia.

    THE PHYTOPHAGOUS FAUNA OF GORSE (ULEX EUROPAEUS L.) AND HOST PLANT QUALITY RICHARD LAWRENCE HILL, M.Sc. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London and for the Diploma of Imperial College HOUSED IN SILWOOD PARK LIBRARY Department of Pure & Applied Biology Imperial College Silwood Park Ascot Berkshire August 1982 2. ABSTRACT This study of the interactions between the fauna attacking gorse (Ulex europaeus L.) and their host-plant, was undertaken as part of a project aimed at the biological control of Ulex in New Zealand. In particular, the effects of seasonal changes in host-plant primary and secondary chemistry, plant structure and foliage morphology on the seasonal perform- ance of the phytophagous insect fauna were examined. Seasonal patterns of flowering and fruiting were described. Seasonal changes in foliage water content and toughness were summarised, and patterns of growth were described. These were discussed in relation to Lawton's (1978) living space concept and other current literature. Seasonal variation in the concentrations of 6 types of secondary compounds in the foliage were described. High concentrations of alkaloids may protect vegetative buds from herbivore attack in early spring, but otherwise foliage appeared to be unprotected. Energy content and soluble carbohydrate content of gorse foliage remained relatively high throughout the growing season. Foliage nitrogen content was high at bud-burst but declined within 6 weeks to a constant low level. The insect fauna associated with Ulex europaeus in Britain was described, compared and contrasted with the equivalent continental fauna and the faunas of related host-plants.

  • A Global View of the Future for Biological Control of Gorse, Ulex Europaeus L
    A global view of the future for biological control of gorse, Ulex europaeus L. R.L. Hill,1 J. Ireson,2 A.W. Sheppard,3 A.H. Gourlay,4 H. Norambuena,5 G.P. Markin,6 R. Kwong7 and E.M. Coombs8 Summary Gorse (Ulex europaeus L.) has become naturalized in at least 50 countries outside its native range, from the high elevation tropics to the subantarctic islands and Scandinavia. Its habit, adaptability and ability to colonize disturbed ground makes it one of the world’s most invasive temperate weeds. It is 80 years since New Zealand first initiated research into biological control for gorse. This paper briefly reviews the progress made worldwide since then, and examines future opportunities for biological control of this weed. The range of available agents is now known, and this list is critically assessed. Ten organisms have been released variously in six countries and islands and their performance is reviewed. In most cases, agent populations have been regulated either from ‘top-down’ or ‘bottom- up’, and there is no evidence anywhere of consistent outbreaks that could cause significant reduc- tion in existing gorse populations in the medium term. Habitat disturbance and seedling competition are important drivers of gorse population dynamics. Existing agents may yet have long-term impact through sublethal effects on maximum plant age, another key factor in gorse population dynamics. Along with habitat manipulation, seed-feeding insects may yet play a long-term role in reducing seed banks below critical levels for replacement in some populations. In the short term, progress will rely on rational and integrated weed management practices, exploiting biological control where possible.

L'une d'entre elles, Ulex europaeus , est une plante envahissante qui constitue une nuisance pour l'agriculture et une menace pour la biodiversité. Le charançon Exapion ulicis a été introduit comme agent de lutte biologique depuis les années 1930, mais son efficacité est limitée par le fait qu'il ne pond qu'au printemps, alors que la plante peut produire des gousses dès l'automne. La première partie de cette thèse présente ma contribution à l'étude à long terme d' Ulex europaeus en Bretagne, dont le but est d'étudier les relations entre la phénologie de floraison et les stratégies de défense contre les phytophages (évitement dans le temps, satiété du prédateur).
