The first part was published in 1985 (Noordam & Hille Ris Lambers, 1985), the second part in 1986 (Noordam, 1986), the third part in 1991 (Noordam, 1991) and the fourth part in 1994 (Noordam, 1994). The aphids in this part are described in an alphabetical order of genera and species except for Toxoptera which is treated in the same key as Aphis. The names of the aphids are in accordance with Remaudière & Remaudière (1997). Furthermore the aphid’s characters are mentioned and the plants on which the aphids have been found. Never- theless the title of Part V promises to mention only Aphidini one species belonging to the Macrosiphini is mentioned and included in the key: Brachysiphoniella montana (van der Goot, 1917). This is due to the fact that after this fifth part was finished B. montana is placed into the Macrosiphini (Remaudière & Remaudière, 1997). The names of host plants and/or localities are taken over directly from the origi- nal slides. Measurements Measurements of head, body, antennae, rostrum, stylets, femora, tibiae, tarsi and hairs were done in the same way as described in the third part (Noordam, 1991). The figures are drawn to different scales, and a scale line is added to the figures. If the scale line is close to the figure concerned no mention is made of this in the text. Only when there could be confusion about which scale line belongs to the figure, are scale line and figure mentioned. The numbers to the scale lines are in mm.

Agrie. Univ. P.R. 90(l-2):99-107 (2006) ABSTRACT Aphids associated with papaya plants were collected from two sites in Puerto Rico (Isabela and Corozal) and three farms in Homestead, Florida. Between the two regions, Florida and Puerto Rico, twenty-one species of aphids from 12 genera were identified: Aphis sp., Aphis illinoisensis Shimer, Aphis spiraecola Patch, Aphis gossypii Glover, Aphis craccivora Koch, Aphis /dd/ef on/7 (Thomas), Aphis ner/7'Boyer de Fonscolombe, Hyperomyzus carduellinus (Theobald), Hysteroneura setariae (Thomas), Lipaphis pseudo- brassicae (Davis), Picturaphis sp., Pentalonia nigronervosa Coquerel, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), Sarucallis kahawaluokalani (Kirkaldy), Shinjia orientalis (Mordvilko), Schizaphis rotundiventris (Signoret), Tox- optera citricida (Kilkardy), Toxoptera aurantii (Boyer de Fonscolombe), Tetra- neura nigriabdominalis (Sasaki), Uroleucon ambrosiae (Thomas), and Uroleucon pseudoambrosiae (Olive). The number of species was greater in Florida (n = 14) than in Puerto Rico (n = 11). Differences among species were also found between sites in Puerto Rico, with 10 species in Corozal and six in Isabela. Only one species, A. illinoisensis, was common at all sites sam­ pled, whereas three additional species, A. spiraecola, A. gossypii, and A. craccivora were collected in both the Corozal, Puerto Rico, and the Florida areas.

  • Large-Scale Gene Expression Reveals Different Adaptations of Hyalopterus Persikonus to Winter and Summer Host Plants
    Insect Science (2017) 24, 431–442, DOI 10.1111/1744-7917.12336 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Large-scale gene expression reveals different adaptations of Hyalopterus persikonus to winter and summer host plants Na Cui1,4,∗, Peng-Cheng Yang2,∗, Kun Guo1,3, Le Kang1,4 and Feng Cui1 1State Key Laboratory of Integrated Management of Pest Insects & Rodents, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101; 2Beijing Institutes of Life Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101; 3Institute of Medicinal Plant Development, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100193, and 4University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China Abstract Host alternation, an obligatory seasonal shifting between host plants of distant genetic relationship, has had significant consequences for the diversification and success of the superfamily of aphids. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the molecular mechanism of host alternation was explored through a large-scale gene expression analysis of the mealy aphid Hyalopterus persikonus on winter and summer host plants. More than four times as many unigenes of the mealy aphid were significantly upregulated on summer host Phragmites australis than on winter host Rosaceae plants. In order to identify gene candidates related to host alternation, the differentially expressed unigenes of H. persikonus were compared to salivary gland expressed genes and secretome of Acyrthosiphon pisum. Genes involved in ribosome and oxidative phosphorylation and with molecular functions of heme–copper terminal oxidase activity, hydrolase activity and ribosome binding were potentially upregulated in salivary glands of H. persikonus on the summer host. Putative secretory proteins, such as detoxification enzymes (carboxylesterases and cytochrome P450s), antioxidant enzymes (peroxidase and superoxide dismutase), glutathione peroxidase, glucose dehydrogenase, angiotensin-converting enzyme, cadherin, and calreticulin, were highly expressed in H.

  • Differential Transmission of Strawberry Mottle Virus by Chaetosiphon Thomas Hille Ris Lambers and Chaetosiphon Fragaefolii (Cock
    AN ABSTRACT OF.THE THESIS OF Gustav E. Eulensen for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology presented on December 12, 1980 Title: Differential Transmission of Strawberry Mottle Virus by Chaetosiphon thmali Hille Ris Lambers and Chaetosiphon fragaefolii (Cockerell) Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Richard G. Clarke The transmission of strawberry mottle virus (SMV) to Fragaria vesca L. by Chaetosiphon thomasi and C. fragaefolii was studied to determine differences between the two species. Acquisition, inoculation, and retention phases of transmission were described. In all phases, C. fragaefolii was found to be the more efficient vector. Mean transmission rates for both species increased with increasing length of acquisition access period (AAP) reaching a plateau at 12 h. Maximum acquisition efficiency by C. thomasi was achieved after 3-h AAP, and after a 4-h AAP by C. fragaefolii. Transmission rates by C. fragaefolii were signficantly higher than corresponding rates by C. thomasi for most of the AAPs tested. Observed acquisition thresholds were 15 min for C. fragaefolii and 30 min forC. thomasi. Theoretical acquisition thresholds calculated from least squares regression models were 5 min for C. fragaefolii and 9 minfor C. thomasi. Mean transmission rates for both species increased with increasing length of the inoculation access period (IAP) while C. thomasiplateaued after the 15-min IAP. Maximum inoculation efficiency by C. thomasi was achieved during a 15-min IAP, and during a 60-min IAP by C. fragaefolii. Transmission rates by C. fragaefolii were significantly higher for all IAPs tested. Observed inoculation thresholds were 7 min for both species. Theoretical inoculation thresholds calculated from least squares regression models were approximately the same for both species, 4 min.
