    New Data on the Whiteflies (Insecta: Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) of Montenegro, Including Three Species New for the Country

    Acta entomologica serbica, 2015, 20: 29-41 UDC 595.754(497.16)"2012" DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.44654 NEW DATA ON THE WHITEFLIES (INSECTA: HEMIPTERA: ALEYRODIDAE) OF MONTENEGRO, INCLUDING THREE SPECIES NEW FOR THE COUNTRY CHRIS MALUMPHY1, SANJA RADONJIĆ2, SNJEŽANA HRNČIĆ2 and M ILORAD RAIČEVIĆ2 1 The Food and Environment Research Agency, Sand Hutton, YO41 1LZ, United Kingdom E-mail: [email protected] 2 Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Montenegro, Podgorica, Montenegro Abstract Collection data on nine species of whitefly collected in the coastal and central regions of Montenegro during October 2012 are presented. Three species are recorded from Montenegro for the first time: Aleuroclava aucubae (Kuwana), Aleurotuba jelinekii (Frauenfeld) and Bemisia afer (Priesner & Hosny) complex. Two of the species, A. aucubae and B. afer complex were found in Tološi, on Citrus sp. and Laurus nobilis, respectively. Aleurotuba jelinekii was found in Podgorica on Viburnum tinus. KEY WORDS: Whiteflies, Aleyrodidae, Montenegro Introduction Whiteflies comprise a single family, Aleyrodidae, which currently contains 1556 extant species in 161 genera (Martin & Mound, 2007). Fifty-six species occur outdoors in Europe and the Mediterranean basin (Martin et al., 2000). All whiteflies are phytophagous and have three developmental stages: egg, larval (with four larval instars) and adult. Many species are economically important plant pests of outdoor crops, ornamentals and indoor plantings. Feeding by immature whiteflies reduces plant vigor by depletion of plant sap, and foliage becomes contaminated with eliminated honeydew on which black sooty mold grows, thereby reducing the photosynthetic area and lowering the aesthetic appearance of ornamentals. Adults of a small number of species, most notably Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), are important vectors of plant viruses (Jones, 2003).
  • Insect Orders V: Panorpida & Hymenoptera

    Insect Orders V: Panorpida & Hymenoptera

    Insect Orders V: Panorpida & Hymenoptera • The Panorpida contain 5 orders: the Mecoptera, Siphonaptera, Diptera, Trichoptera and Lepidoptera. • Available evidence clearly indicates that the Lepidoptera and the Trichoptera are sister groups. • The Siphonaptera and Mecoptera are also closely related but it is not clear whether the Siponaptera is the sister group of all of the Mecoptera or a group (Boreidae) within the Mecoptera. If the latter is true, then the Mecoptera is paraphyletic as currently defined. • The Diptera is the sister group of the Siphonaptera + Mecoptera and together make up the Mecopteroids. • The Hymenoptera does not appear to be closely related to any of the other holometabolous orders. Mecoptera (Scorpionflies, hangingflies) • Classification. 600 species worldwide, arranged into 9 families (5 in the US). A very old group, many fossils from the Permian (260 mya) onward. • Structure. Most distinctive feature is the elongated clypeus and labrum that together form a rostrum. The order gets its common name from the gential segment of the male in the family Panorpodiae, which is bulbous and often curved forward above the abdomen, like the sting of a scorpion. Larvae are caterpillar-like or grub- like. • Natural history. Scorpionflies are most common in cool, moist habitats. They get the name “hangingflies” from their habit of hanging upside down on vegetation. Larvae and adult males are mostly predators or scavengers. Adult females are usually scavengers. Larvae and adults in some groups may feed on vegetation. Larvae of most species are terrestrial and caterpillar-like in body form. Larvae of some species are aquatic. In the family Bittacidae males attract females for mating by releasing a sex pheromone and then presenting the female with a nuptial gift.

    ABSTRACT MITCHELL III, ROBERT DRAKE. Global Human Health

    ABSTRACT MITCHELL III, ROBERT DRAKE. Global Human Health Risks for Arthropod Repellents or Insecticides and Alternative Control Strategies. (Under the direction of Dr. R. Michael Roe). Protein-coding genes and environmental chemicals. New paradigms for human health risk assessment of environmental chemicals emphasize the use of molecular methods and human-derived cell lines. In this study, we examined the effects of the insect repellent DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) and the phenylpyrazole insecticide fipronil (fluocyanobenpyrazole) on transcript levels in primary human hepatocytes. These chemicals were tested individually and as a mixture. RNA-Seq showed that 100 µM DEET significantly increased transcript levels for 108 genes and lowered transcript levels for 64 genes and fipronil at 10 µM increased the levels of 2,246 transcripts and decreased the levels for 1,428 transcripts. Fipronil was 21-times more effective than DEET in eliciting changes, even though the treatment concentration was 10-fold lower for fipronil versus DEET. The mixture of DEET and fipronil produced a more than additive effect (levels increased for 3,017 transcripts and decreased for 2,087 transcripts). The transcripts affected in our treatments influenced various biological pathways and processes important to normal cellular functions. Long non-protein coding RNAs and environmental chemicals. While the synthesis and use of new chemical compounds is at an all-time high, the study of their potential impact on human health is quickly falling behind. We chose to examine the effects of two common environmental chemicals, the insect repellent DEET and the insecticide fipronil, on transcript levels of long non-protein coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in primary human hepatocytes.

Our website is a portal to not only our material and notices of current forest pest issues but also provides links to other resources. A stock of information sheets and brochures is available on many of the more common insect and disease problems. We can also provide you with a variety of useful publications on topics related to forest insects and diseases. Submitting Samples - Samples brought or sent in for diagnosis should be accompanied by as much information as possible including: host plant, type of damage (i.e., canker, defoliation, wilting, wood borer, etc.), date, location, and site description along with your name, mailing address and day-time telephone number or e-mail address. Forms are available (on our Web site and on the following page) for this purpose.

    Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) Are Specialist Predators of Snails

Entomol. 112(1): 145–150, 2015 doi: 10.14411/eje.2015.016 ISSN 1210-5759 (print), 1802-8829 (online) Larvae of the water scavenger beetle, Hydrophilus acuminatus (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) are specialist predators of snails TOSHIO INODA1, YUTA INODA1 and JUNE KATHYLEEN RULLAN 2 1 Shibamata 5-17-10, Katsushika, Tokyo 125-0052, Japan; e-mail: [email protected] 2 University of the Philippines, Manila, Philippines; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Coleoptera, Hydrophilidae, Hydrophilus acuminatus, feeding preferences, snail specialist Abstract. Hydrophilus acuminatus larvae are known to feed on aquatic prey. However, there is no quantitative study of their feeding habits. In order to determine the feeding preferences and essential prey of larvae of H. acuminatus, both field and laboratory experi- ments were carried out. Among the five potential species of prey,Austropeplea ollula (Mollusca: Lymnaeidae), Physa acuta (Mollusca: Physidae), Asellus hilgendorfi (Crustacea: Asellidae), Palaemon paucidens (Crustacea: Palaemonidae) and larvae of Propsilocerus akamusi (Insecta: Chironomidae), the first instar larvae of H. acuminatus strongly prefered the Austropeplea and Physa snails in both cafeteria and single-prey species experiments. Larvae that were provided with only snails also successfully developed into second instar larvae, while larvae fed Palaemon, Propsilocerus larvae or Asellus died during the first instar. In addition, the size of adult H. acuminatus reared from first-instar larvae and fed only snails during their entire development was not different from that of adult H. acuminatus collected in the field. This indicates that even though the larvae ofH. acuminatus can feed on several kinds of invertebrates, they strongly prefer snails and without them cannot complete their development.

    Bugs & Beasties of the Western Rhodopes

    Bugs and Beasties of the Western Rhodopes (a photoguide to some lesser-known species) by Chris Gibson and Judith Poyser [email protected] Yagodina At Honeyguide, we aim to help you experience the full range of wildlife in the places we visit. Generally we start with birds, flowers and butterflies, but we don’t ignore 'other invertebrates'. In the western Rhodopes they are just so abundant and diverse that they are one of the abiding features of the area. While simply experiencing this diversity is sufficient for some, as naturalists many of us want to know more, and in particular to be able to give names to what we see. Therein lies the problem: especially in eastern Europe, there are few books covering the invertebrates in any comprehensive way. Hence this photoguide – while in no way can this be considered an ‘eastern Chinery’, it at least provides a taster of the rich invertebrate fauna you may encounter, based on a couple of Honeyguide holidays we have led in the western Rhodopes during June. We stayed most of the time in a tight area around Yagodina, and almost anything we saw could reasonably be expected to be seen almost anywhere around there in the right habitat. Most of the photos were taken in 2014, with a few additional ones from 2012. While these creatures have found their way into the lists of the holiday reports, relatively few have been accompanied by photos. We have attempted to name the species depicted, using the available books and the vast resources of the internet, but in many cases it has not been possible to be definitive and the identifications should be treated as a ‘best fit’.
