  • The Dermaptera of New Caledonia1
    Pacific Insects 17(1): 61-86 1 October 1976 THE DERMAPTERA OF NEW CALEDONIA1 By A. Brindle2 Abstract: The present paper is based on 3 collections of Dermaptera from New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands; the 1st belongs to the B. P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, and consists of 156 specimens collected over a number of recent years, and the 2nd, of 80 specimens, belongs to the British Museum (Nat. Hist.) and is mainly of specimens collected in 1914, with a few from a more recent expedition. The 3rd consists of specimens, including type material, collected by the original Sarasin & Roux expedition of 1911-1912, and held by the Basel Museum, Switzerland, apart from duplicates retained in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.). The species described as new by Burr (1914) under the names of Spondox sarasini and Anisolabis rouxi each consist of 2 distinct species, and lectotypes are designated for the true sarasini and rouxi, both of which are now placed in other genera. A lectotype is also designated for Brachylabis canaca Burr, since the type material of this species is syntypic. The specimens of the species listed by Burr (1914) as Labia canaca Burr consist of 3 distinct species, 1 of which is the true canaca, now placed in the genus Chaetolabia. All previous records of Dermaptera from New Caledonia known to me are included, and the records of Titanolabis colossea (Dohrn) in Dohrn (1864) and of Chelisochella superba (Dohrn) in Burr (1912) are rejected. Keys to families, subfamilies, genera, and species now represented in New Caledonia are given and a total of 18 species is recorded, of which 4 are described as new.

  • Bio-Ecology and Integrated Management of the Red Palm Weevil, Rhynchophorus Ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in the Region of Valencia (Spain)
    Hellenic Plant Protection Journal 5: 1-12, 2012 REVIEW ARTICLE Bio-ecology and integrated management of the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in the region of Valencia (Spain) Ó. Dembilio1* and J.A. Jacas2 Summary The invasive red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculioni- dae), is one of the most destructive pests of palms in the world. It is widely distributed in all continents and has been reported on 26 palm species belonging to 16 different genera. In the Mediterranean ba- sin, R. ferrugineus has become the major pest of palms, mainly Phoenix canariensis hort. ex Chabaud, an endemic palm to the Canary Islands widely used as ornamental. In this manuscript we summarize the research that the UJI-IVIA Unit has carried out on this pest. The first objective of our work was to deter- mine different bio-ecological parameters ofR. ferrugineus under natural conditions in a Mediterranean climate. Washingtonia filifera is the only palm species included in our studies showing mechanisms of complete resistance against R. ferrugineus. Although Chamaerops humilis and Phoenix theophrasti show antixenotic and antibiotic mechanisms of resistance, respectively, they cannot be considered as resis- tant against R. ferrugineus. Under Mediterranean climate, the preimaginal development of R. ferrug- ineus in P. canariensis takes 666.5 DD and the weevil can complete 13 larval instars. Based on the results obtained, less than one generation per year can be expected in areas with a mean annual temperature (MAT) below 15ºC and more than two in those with MAT above 19ºC. Oviposition in R. ferrugineus is also strongly affected by temperature.

H.A.F. El-Shafie Date Palm Research Centre of Excellence, King Faisal University, P. O. Box 400, Al-Hassa-31982, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The date palm, Phoenix dactylifera L. (Arecales: Arecaceae) is subject to damage by numerous arthropod pests. This review lists 112 species of mite and insect pests associated with date palm distributed among 10 orders and 42 different families. Of these species, few are identified as major or potential pests of date palm tree. The listed species are classified according to their preferred part on the tree into: 34 species on the foliages, 30 species on palm bases, stem and roots, 26 species on inflorescences, bunch stalks, green and ripening fruits, and 22 species attacking date during harvest and storage. In addition to harmful insect and mite pests, more than 45 predators and parasitoids in 7 orders and 15 families are identified. Ten species are considered as major pests viz., the red palm weevil (Rhynchophorous ferrugineus), Old world date mite (Oligonychus afrasiaticus), lesser date moth (Batrachedra amydraula), Dubas date bug (Ommatissus binotatus), green pit scale (Palmapsis phoenicis), carob moth (Ectomyelois ceratoniae), longhorn date palm stem borer (Jebusaea hammerschmidti), rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes agamemnon), fruit stalk borer (Oryctes elegans) and almond moth (Cadra cautella).

  • INSECTS of MICRONESIA Dermaptera
    INSECTS OF MICRONESIA Dermaptera By A. BRINDLE MANCHESTER MUSEUM, THE UNIVERSITY, MANCHESTER, ENGLAND. INTRODUCTION The most recent attempt to bring together all records of Dermaptera from the Pacific area is that of Hincks (1938, Fed. Malay States Mus., J. 18: 299-318), who included all records from the Pacific area from the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands, south to New Caledonia, Australia, and New Zealand, north to Micronesia, and eastwards to include all the islands of the Pacific ocean as far east as the Galapagos Islands. In that paper 2 species, Nesogaster aculeatus (Bormans) and Chelisoches morio (Fabricius) are recorded from Micronesia. The Dermaptera collected by Pro­ fessor Esaki's Micronesian Expeditions in 1936-1939 were studied by Menozzi (1941, Mushi 13:73-80), and these included a further 6 species. The only subsequent papers including records of Dermaptera from Micronesia, of which the present author is aware, are those of Rehn (1946, Acad.Nat.Sci.Philad., Proc. 98:219-239); (1949, Ent.Soc.Am.,Trans. 74:165-171); and (1949, Ent. Soc.Am.,Trans. 75:109-111). The total of species from Micronesia recorded in all these publications is 12, of which 1, Labia dubronyi Hebard, is thought to be an error. Through the kindness of Dr. J. Linsley Gressitt, the present author has had the opportunity to examine a collection of 1581 specimens of Dermaptera from Micronesia, and including specimens from the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, the Field Natural History Museum, the Pacific Science Board, and the United States National Museum. The total of species represented in the collection is 24, of which 6 are new and are described, together with 2 new subspecies.

We reviewed their natural enemies in both their native and introduced regions. More than 50 natural enemies have been reported to attack Rhynchophorus species. Fungi are the most promising ones for biological control. article info abstract Article history: Rhynchophorus palm weevils are large insects belonging to the family Dryophthoridae.
