E-mail: [email protected] Investigation of Eriosomatidae in Belarus started in the 1900s. However, a regional checklist of Eriosomatidae aphids was not published till now. Based on material preserved in the col- lections of Belarusian State University and the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and data scattered across publications we have compiled the first comprehen- sive list of Eriosomatidae recorded from Belarus and briefly analysed it from the geographical and ecological points of views. The list includes 12 genera and 27 species. Pemphigus passeki Börner, 1952 has been recorded from Belarus for the first time. The registered diversity is less abundant than in the adjacent Poland. In the accordance with the global pattern of aphids host plant connections, a single species permanently inhabit woody plants (monoecious spe- cies), the other ones are dioecious and migrate from woody plants to woody (eight species) or herbaceous (12 species) plants. Four species is anholocyclic. Исследования фауны тлей семейства Eriosomatidae в Беларуси были начаты еще в пер- вые десятилетия XX века, однако до настоящего времени ни одного регионального спи- ска эриосоматид не было опубликовано. Целью данной работы было обобщение сведе- ний о Eriosomatidae Беларуси, имеющихся в разрозненных публикациях, которые были дополнены данными, полученными в ходе собственных исследований. Это позволило впервые составить аннотированный список эриосоматид фауны Беларуси и кратко про- анализировать особенности их образа жизни. Список включает 27 видов из 12 родов. Pemphigus passeki Börner, 1952 впервые указан для фауны Беларуси. Выявленное на тер- ритории Беларуси число видов семейства оказалось меньше, чем в соседней Польше. Только один вид однодомен и постоянно обитает на одном растении-хозяине. Большин- ство тлей-эриосоматид фауны Беларуси являются двудомными и мигрируют с древес- ных растений на другие древесные (восемь видов) или травянистые (12 видов) растения; четыре вида неполноциклы, то есть развиваются без смены растений-хояев.

Bunn Road, Prosser, WA 99350, U.S.A Foottit R.G., Maw H.E.L., Pike K.S. – DNA barcodes to explore diversity in aphids (Hemiptera Aphididae and Adelgidae). A tendency towards loss of taxonomically useful characters, and morphological plasticity due to host and environmental factors, complicates the identification of aphid species and the analysis of relationships. The presence of different morphological forms of a single species on different hosts and at different times of the year makes it difficult to consistently associate routinely collected field samples with particular species definitions. DNA barcoding has been proposed as a standardized approach to the characterization of life forms. We have tested the effectiveness of the standard 658-bp barcode fragment from the 5’ end of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 gene (COI) to differentiate among species of aphids and adelgids. Results are presented for a preliminary study on the application of DNA barcoding in which approximately 3600 specimens representing 568 species and 169 genera of the major subfamilies of aphids and the adelgids have been sequenced. Examples are provided where DNA barcoding has been used as a tool in recognizing the existence of cryptic new taxa, linking life stages on different hosts of adelgids, and as an aid in the delineation of species boundaries.

A reVlSIOn of the genus Eriosoma and its allied genera in Japan (Homoptera: Aphidoidea). Ins. matsum. n.S. 27: 37-106, 3 tabs., 26 figs. Nine species of Eriosoma and its allied genera, all leaf-roll aphids on Ulmaceae and occur­ ring in Japan, are dealt with. Descriptions of gall-generations, exules, sexuparae and galls are given, with brief biological notes for some species. The species-complex hitherto called Eriosoma japonicum is classified into 6 species, including 5 ones new to science. A parasitic form of Eriosoma yangi, occurring on Ulmus davidiana var. japonica, is formally described as a new subspecies different from the nominate form on Ulmus parvifolia in not only behavior but also morphological characters of their fundatrices. The subdivision of Eriosoma is recon­ sidered in connection with the divergence and distribution of the host plants, and the ulmi group is newly proposed. A leaf-roll aphid associated with Zelkova is described as a new species belonging to Hemipodaphis, which has only been known from the morph occurring on the secon­ dary host in India; on the basis of the new species Hemipodaphis is transferred to the Pemphigidae (Eriosomatinae) from the Hormaphididae.

  • Colonization of Ecological Islands: Galling Aphid Populations (Sternorrhyncha: Aphidoidea: Pemphigidae) on Recoveringpistacia Trees After Destruction by Fire
    Eur. J. Entomol. 95: 41-53, 1998 ISSN 1210-5759 Colonization of ecological islands: Galling aphid populations (Sternorrhyncha: Aphidoidea: Pemphigidae) on recoveringPistacia trees after destruction by fire D avid WOOL and M oshe INBAR* Department of Zoology, George S. 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.

Tramaforda wooli Manheim belongs to a monotypic genus that induces galls on Pistacia atlantica Desf. in Israel. Based on distinct gall characteristics, differences in morphometrics and molecular markers (CO I, CO II and microsatellite analysis), we recognized a new species in this genus, Tramaforda koachi sp. nov. which is cur- rently endemic to north-central Israel and the Golan Heights. Fall migrants of Tramaforda koachi sp. nov. are smaller (1.62-2.02 mm) than the same form of T. wooli (> 2.14 mm).

  • Relative Resistance Or Susceptibility of Landscape-Suitable Elms (Ulmus Spp.) to Multiple Insect Pests
    236 Potter and Redmond: Elm Resistance to Insect Pests Arboriculture & Urban Forestry 2013. 39(5): 236–243 Relative Resistance or Susceptibility of Landscape-suitable Elms (Ulmus spp.) to Multiple Insect Pests Daniel A. Potter and Carl T. Redmond Abstract. The National Elm Trial is a cooperative project to assess landscape suitability of Dutch elm disease-resistant elms (Ulmus spp.) in various regions of the United States. Researchers evaluated 20 cultivars of American, Asian, and hybrid elms for relative resistance or susceptibility to multiple insect pests in central Kentucky over seven years. Ratings for Japanese beetle, European elm flea weevil (EEFW), and several other pests were previously published. This paper reports data for seven additional pests, including honeydew-excreting scale insects (Parthenolecanium corni, Eriococcus spuria, and Pulvinaria innumerabilis), leaf-distorting woolly elm and woolly apple aphids (Eriosoma spp.), elm cockscomb gall aphid (Colopha ulmicola), and an invasive weevil (Oedophrys hilleri) not previously known to damage elms. Rankings for all 12 of the monitored pests are summarized. Most U. americana cultivars were relatively susceptible to the scale insects and likewise, Eriosoma spp. and C. ulmicola only infested the American elms. O. hilleri is a new state record for Kentucky. Its adults, active in mid- to late summer, chewed notches in edges of leaves. Cultivars of the Asian species U. parvifolia and U. propinqua, including ‘Athena Classic Lacebark’, ‘Everclear Lacebark’, ‘Emer II Allee’, and ‘Emerald Sunshine’ were top-rated for insect resistance. They were nearly pest-free except for foliar damage by EEFW, to which nearly all elms were susceptible. Insect resistance should be considered when re-introducing elms to urban landscapes.

FEKRAT1 1Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran 2Institute of Zoology, Ilia State University, Tbilisi, Georgia (Received: 11 November 2018; accepted: 16 November 2018) A survey of gall-inducing aphids on elm and poplar trees was carried out during 2017 in Razavi Kho- rasan province, NE Iran. As a result, 15 species of gall-inducing aphids from 5 genera, all belonging to the subfamily Eriosomatinae, were recorded on 6 host plant species. The collected species included the genera Eriosoma, Kaltenbachiella, Pemphigus, Tetraneura and Thecabius. Pemphigus passeki Börner (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and Pemphigus populinigrae (Schrank) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on Populus nigra var. italica (Sal- icaceae) were new records for the Iranian aphid fauna. Both new recorded species belong to the tribe Pem- phigini, subfamily Eriosomatinae. Among the identified species, 8 aphid species were new records for Razavi Khorasan province. Keywords: Aphid, elm, poplar, fauna, gall-inducing aphid. Many insect groups, around 13,000 species, are known as plant gall makers (Nyman and Julkunen-Tiitto, 2000; Suzuki et al., 2009). Among them, Aphidoidea is a very large superfamily in the hemipteran suborder Sternorrhyncha with about 5000 known species (Blackman and Eastop, 2000; Ge et al., 2016). It is estimated that there are practically 10–20 % gallicolous aphid species nationwide (Chakrabarti, 2007; Chen and Qiao, 2012; Álvarez et al., 2013).

Like other members of ploitation to cooperation is a major challenge in evolutionary this tribe, P. cimiciformis alternates not only between oviparous biology. Ant–aphid relationships represent an ideal system to this sexual reproduction and viviparous parthenogenesis, but also be- end because they encompass a coevolutionary continuum of inter- tween two alternative hosts, and exhibits both wingless and winged actions ranging from mutualism to antagonism. In this study, we morphs. Most unusually, during its root-dwelling phase (Fig. 1), report an unprecedented interaction along this continuum: aggres- P. cimiciformis has two morphologically distinct wingless morphs sive mimicry in aphids. We show that two morphs clonally produced where other closely related Fordini species have just one (9). Until by the aphid Paracletus cimiciformis during its root-dwelling phase recently, the only known wingless root-dwelling morph in this establish relationships with ants at opposite sides of the mutual- species was a flat yellowish-white aphid (hereafter “flat morph”) ism–antagonism continuum.
