The paper we deals with the presentation of the Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata, 1963) species in Romania. Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata) is a leaf-minig species that attacks different species belonging to the Tilia genus. The Phyllonorycter issikii species was first identified in Romania in 2002 in the Gheorghitoaia and Frumuşica forests in Iaşi County area. There was also signalled an attack of the species in the Bacău County area, in 2005 in the Hârboanca Forest Reserve. In the present paper we present the biological chracteristics of the species as well as their larvae attack method. Keywords: leaf-minig insect, morphology, mining amplitude. Rezumat. Date asupra prezenţei speciei Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) în fauna României. În lucrarea de faţă semnalăm prezenţa în România a speciei Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata). Este o specie minieră care atacă diferite specii ale genului Tilia. Specia a fost identificată pentru prima dată în România în anul 2002 în pădurile Gheorghitoaia şi Frumuşica din judetul Iaşi. A fost semnalat un atac şi în judetul Bacău, iar în anul 2005 în Rezervaţia Forestieră Hârboanca din judeţul Vaslui. Se descrie specia şi se prezintă unele date biologice şi modul de atac al larvelor. Cuvinte cheie: insectă minieră, morfologie, amplitudinea minării. Introduction Phyllonorycer issikii (Kumata, 1963) belongs to the Gracillariidae family of the Lepidoptera order. The larvae excavate mines into the leaf limbs of some species of Tilia. The species was first identified in Japan by Kumata in 1963. It has widened its area of distribution progressively ariving to Europe: it was signalled in Russia (South of the Far East ) in 1977, and later in Ukrain, Belarus, Lithuania (Noreika, 1998), Poland, Hungary, Czheck Republic (Šefrová, 2002), Germany. In Romania, the presence of Phyllonorycer issikii (Kumata) larvae was first signaled in 2002 in the forests of Gheorghitoaia and Frumuşica in the Iaşi County area on the leaves of the Tilia cordata Miller species (coll. Ureche C., 2002). Further studies revealed its presence in the Bacău County area, in Hemeiuş and Dărmăneşti in 2002, and in 2005 in the Copou area in the town of Iaşi, also on Tilia cordata leaves. Between 2005 and 2006, intense attacks of this species were signalled on Tilia cordata Miller, T. plathyphyllos Scopoli and T. tomentosa Moench. It seems that it prefers species belonging to the Tilia genus, as it was also signalled on other species liske: T. amurensis Ruprecht, T. mandshurica Ruprecht et Maximowicz, T. maximowicziana Shirawa and other Tilia. Kumata also signalled an attack of this species on leaves of Betula plathyphylla Sukaczev in 1963 (Szabόky, 2004). The attack of the Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata) does not cause important economic damage, but rather aesthetic damage, especially when it attacks trees with ornamental function in parks and gardens. -103- Alina-Maria Stolnicu & Camelia Ureche Materials and Methods Our research was based in the Hârboanca Forest Reserve and it was made in 2006. The attack of the Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata) larvae was observed on species of Tilia cordata Miller, T. plathyphyllos Scopoli and T. tomentosa Moench. There were collected leaves attacked by Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata) that were studied in the laboratory in cultures aiming to obtain adult insects and parasitoid forms that limit this species’ populations. The genitalia were prepared for study by maceration and boiling in 10% KOH solution for 1-3 minutes, then they were put in glycerine. In order to reveal the frequency and the intensity of the attacks, we have observed 100 leaves per each generation. Results and Discussion As Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata) is a new species for the Romanian fauna, we will first present some of its morphological and biological data. Description. The egg is ovoidal-globulary in shape and it has a little pedunculus that gives it a fixed position (Fig. 1). The outer skin is hard and coloured in a yellowish-creamy tone. Its diameter is of 100 µ. There are two development stages at this point, very well defined. In the first larva stage, the larvae have no setae and their body is dorso-ventrally flattened. Ciliae are well defined and placed towards the front of the head. The oculi are disposed in staight longitudinal rows on the sides of the cefalic capsule. In the second stage, the larvae have setae on the thorax as well as on the abdomen (pedespurs), the head takes on an almost cilinder shape, with the ciliae and the oculi oriented ventrally (Fig. 2). The pupa generally has the same characteristics of the larvae, but the head presents a rostrum, which serves the purpose of perforating the exuvia (the larvae shell). The head, the thorax and the thoracic appendixes are chestnut brown, while the abdomen is more lightly coloured (Fig. 5). The adults of the two generations come in different colourings. The aestive form (Fig. 6) presents a basic brownish ochre colouring of the wings, with a basal fine streak going down to the middle of the wing. The forewing has no black scales contour. The posteriour wings are copper-red and are clearly fringed. The autumnal form (Fig. 7) has brown-grey forewings with many dark, almost black scales on the margins. It has two lighter-coloured streaks: a very narrow one, situated medio-basally and covering up to 1/3 of the wing in an arched span going towards the dorsal edge and accompanied by black scales, and an even narrower one that has a dorso-basal position. The posterior wings are coloured in a lighter tone of brown-grey. The abdominal area has a creamy yellowish colour on the dorsal side, while the ventral side is brown-grey. The male genitalia is characterized by asymmetry (Fig. 8). The tegument is about as long as the left valve. The left valve is relatively narrow, obliquely parallel almost on the whole length. The right valve is ovoid, broad, and it goes until the basal third. The transtilla is rather narrow, asymmetrical; the vinculum is triangular, without a saccus. The aedeagus is longer than the right valve, and it is narrow, tubular, with an apical hook at the end. The female genitalia are symmetrical (Fig. 9). The papilla analis is of medium length, covered with just few long setae, but with many microspines on the whole surface. The ductus bursae is long and membraneous; the corpus bursae is pyriform, weakly sclerotized, with a pair of central sclerotized signa (Fig. 10). -104- Analele Ştiinţifice ale Universităţii „Al. I.

Graphic representation of the intensity of mining of the Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata) species on Tilia platyphyllos leaves. -107- Alina-Maria Stolnicu & Camelia Ureche The attack method is characteristic of mining insects. The egg is layed on the back of the leaf, being fixed with the pedunculus. Neonate larvae perforate the leaf epidermis and they go into the mesophyll where they begin to excavate a mine, which is elliptical in the beginning, but then it becomes a typical ptychonom, green or even in light brown tones. Generally, the mine will be placed between and on the main nervure and one of the secondary ones, but when a leaf host more than one mine, the positions will differ (Figs. 3, 4). The frass are dark coloured, granulated, and they are deposited in the form of a little pile inside the mine, on the opposite side to the direction of motion followed in the feeding process. The Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata) larvae have oriented their attacks on the species Tilia cordata Miller, T. plathyphyllos Scopoli and T. tomentosa Moench. By carefully studying the attacks of the larvae and the dynamics of the emergence of adult insects, we were able to identify two different generations: an aestive one and an autumnal one. In order to study the frequency and the intensity of the attacks, we have collected for study 100 leaves submitted to the attack of each of the two generations. Of the 100 leaves collected on the 20.07.2006, 68 presented signs of mining attacks.

Fomina The purpose. To carry out probes on revealing and specification of species composition of checkered moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) in conditions of botanical gardens and plantings of Kiev. Methods. Standard methods of faunistic research in entomology, population ecology, and protection of plants. Results. It is determined that 24 kinds of checkered moths are eating 54 kinds of plants which are widely used for gardening in Kiev. For the first time the following kinds are revealed: Phyllonorycter issikii, Phyllonorycter platani, and Phyllonorycter emberizaepennella. At calculation of Palii-Kovnatski indexes they specified that in city plantings the dominant phytophags are Cameraria ohridella (94,11%), Phyllonorycter populifoliella (86,37%) and Gracillaria syringella (59,14%). They consider that in formation of the secondary areal of invasion kinds of checkered moths the great value has an areal of spread of the host-plant. Environmental analysis is carried out of checkered moths of family Gracillariidae which is spread in cities of the Europe and which are absent in fauna of cities of Ukraine. That has important theoretical and practical value for ecology, entomology and protection of plants against hazardous checkered moths. Conclusions. All the probed kinds of checkered moths by their trophic specialization may be distributed into polyphages (6 kinds), oligophages (14 kinds) and monophages (3 kinds).

New records of ten invasive insect species in Romania are presented. The studied species are: Cameraria ohridella Deschka & Dimic 1986, Parec- topa robiniella Clemens 1863, Phyllonorycter robiniella (Clemens 1859), Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata 1963), Hyphantria cunea (Drury 1773), Obo- lodiplosis robiniae (Haldeman 1847), Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann 1910, Eopineus strobus (Hartig 1837), Megastigmus spermotrophus Wachtl 1893 and Harmonia axyridis Pallas 1773. The native range of each species, the first report and the present distribution in Europe and in Romania are discussed. The new records suggest that all the analysed species have established popu- lations in our country and a more widespread distribution than that previously known. Some of them attain sometimes locally or zonally high population levels and are regarded as important pests. For the most species, new obser- vations are necessary, both concerning their presence in the areas where they were not found so far, but also to assess the impact of insect populations on their hosts and on the recipient biocoenoses. A particular attention should be paid to the species H. axyridis, whose swarms invade the houses of the people during the autumn and could cause annoyance and possibly allergy. Citizen participation in observing and reporting of these new ”guests” is encouraged. Keywords alien species, invasive forest insects, new records, distribution, Romania Authors.

Many conditions in the urban habitats are modified compared to those in the rural ones, so the organisms present reactions to these changes. To determine to what extent the habitat type influences insects, we tested the differences in the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) leaf-mining insect community between urban and rural habitats in Serbia. Lower species richness, abundance, and diversity were determined on trees in the urban environment. Due to the differences in the habitat types, many of the species disappeared, while most of the remaining species declined. The seasonal dynamics of species richness, abundance, and diversity differed between the habitat types. Both rural and urban populations started with low values in May. Subsequently, rural populations gained higher species richness, abundance, and diversity.

The study was conducted in the forest-steppe zone of the Middle Volga in Russia over 13 years (2000-2012). Leaf miners have been found to be highly host plant-specific. Most of them are associated with only one or two plant species and therefore the number of links between trophic levels is 73, which is close to the total number of Lepidoptera species (linkage density is 1.12).

  • Phylogeographic Pattern of the Plane Leaf Miner, Phyllonorycter Platani (STAUDINGER, 1870) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) in Europe Viktória Tóth and Ferenc Lakatos*
    Tóth and Lakatos BMC Evolutionary Biology (2018) 18:135 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-018-1240-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Phylogeographic pattern of the plane leaf miner, Phyllonorycter platani (STAUDINGER, 1870) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) in Europe Viktória Tóth and Ferenc Lakatos* Abstract Background: The plane leaf miner, Phyllonorycter platani is a widely distributed insect species on plane trees and has a well-documented colonisation history in Europe over the last century. However, phylogeographic data of the species are lacking. Results: We analysed 284 individuals from 38 populations across Europe, Asia, and North America. A 1242 bp fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene and an 893 bp fragment of the 28S rDNA has been Sanger sequenced. Twenty-four haplotypes were detected on the COI gene, and two alleles were identified on the 28S rDNA. We revealed two distinct clades for both markers reflecting the geographic origins, Asia and Europe. The genetic distance between the two main clades is 2.08% on the COI gene and 0.10% on the nuclear DNA. An overlapping zone of the two clades was found across Eastern Europe and the Anatolian Peninsula. We detected heterozygote individuals of the 28S rDNA gene in Moldavia, Ukraine and in the southern part of Turkey. These suggest that the two clades can hybridise. Furthermore, the presence of European type homozygote individuals has been confirmed in the southern part of Turkey as well. Conclusions: We have shown that both post-glacial recolonization and recent expansion events influenced the present genetic structure of P. platani. The genetic patterns revealed at least two refugia during the last ice age: one in the Balkan Peninsula and the other in the Caucasus region.

The most abundant group are plants with 490 species, followed by terrestrial animals with 390 species (of which 90% are invertebrates), and aquatic organisms with 102 species (44 freshwater and 58 marine). Most alien species originate from North America and Southeast Asia and were introduced accidentally. A series of management measures are considered at national level aimed at the prevention, early detection and response, and management of naturalised species. Keywords Romania, invertebrates, neophyte, invasive alien species, introduction rate 76 Country reports 1. The present state of alien IAS, and the reintroduction of native species listed species management in Romania in the annexes of the EU Birds and Habitats Direc- tives (adopted in Romania by emergency ordinance In recent years, invasive alien species (IAS) have 57/2007 and later by Law 49/2011).
