Science in Biological Sciences California State University, Chico Spring 2019 Walnut (Juglans) and wingnut (Pterocarya) trees have been declining in response to Thousand Cankers Disease (TCD). The TCD pathogen, Geosmithia morbida, is vectored by a phloeophagous bark beetle, the walnut twig beetle (Pityophthorus juglandis Blackman). To understand P. juglandis host selection, the following were investigated at two orchards in Northern California: 1) The susceptibility of two walnut species (Juglans californica and J. major) native to the western USA by comparing P. juglandis flight and landing responses to unbaited branch sections and 2) The relationship between English walnut (Juglans regia) tree health, represented by several levels of plant water stress, and P. juglandis colonization success. P. juglandis preferred to land on J. californica over J. major. With J. regia, there was no significant difference in P. juglandis activity between branches from trees in high water stress and low water stress groups (both baited with P. juglandis aggregation vi pheromone). No P. juglandis colonization activity was observed in unbaited branches from the negative control group (unbaited). Activity by P. juglandis was found primarily on 4 cm diameter branches. Other invasive bark and ambrosia beetles such as Hypothenemus eruditus and Xyleborinus saxeseni; and an invasive longhorned beetle, Nathrius brevipennis preferred to land on J. major over J. californica. Collections of H. eruditus and an invasive ambrosia beetle, Xyleborus affinis, in Butte County reflect the northernmost records of these

  • The Green Lacewings of the Genus Chrysopa in Maryland ( Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)
    The Green Lacewings of the Genus Chrysopa in Maryland ( Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) Ralph A. Bram and William E. Bickley Department of Entomology INTRODUCTION Tlw green lacewings which are members of the genus Chrysopa are extreme- ly lwndicia1 insects. The larvae are commonly called aphislions and are well known as predators of aphids and other injurious insects. They play an important part in the regulation of populations of pests under natural conditions, and in California they have been cultured in mass and released for the control of mealy- bugs ( Finney, 1948 and 1950) . The positive identification of members of the genus is desirable for the use of biological-control workers and entomologists in general. Descriptions of most of the Nearctic species of Chrysopidae have relied heavily on body pigmentation and to a lesser extent on wing shape, venational patterns and coloration. Specimens fade when preserved in alcohol or on pins, and natural variation in color patterns occurs in many species ( Smith 1922, Bickley 1952). It is partly for these reasons that some of the most common and relatively abundant representatives of the family are not easily recognized. The chrysopid fauna of North America was treated comprehensively by Banks ( 1903). Smith ( 1922) contributed valuable information about the biology of the green lacewings and about the morphology and taxonomy of the larvae. He also pro- vided k<'ys and other help for the identification of species from Kansas ( 1925, 1934) and Canada ( 1932). Froeschner ( 194 7) similarly dealt with Missouri species. Bickley and MacLeod ( 1956) presented a review of the family as known to occur in the N earctic region north of Mexico.

  • Wingnut (Juglandaceae)
    83 Wingnut (Juglandaceae) as a new generic host for Pityophthorus juglandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and the thousand cankers disease pathogen, Geosmithia morbida (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) Stacy M. Hishinuma, Paul L. Dallara, Mohammad A. Yaghmour, Marcelo M. Zerillo, Corwin M. Parker, Tatiana V. Roubtsova, Tivonne L. Nguyen, Ned A. Tisserat, Richard M. Bostock, Mary L. Flint, Steven J. Seybold1 Abstract—The walnut twig beetle (WTB), Pityophthorus juglandis Blackman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), vectors a fungus, Geosmithia morbida Kolařík, Freeland, Utley, and Tisserat (Ascomycota: Hypocreales), which colonises and kills the phloem of walnut and butternut trees, Juglans Linnaeus (Juglandaceae). Over the past two decades, this condition, known as thousand cankers disease (TCD), has led to the widespread mortality of Juglans species in the United States of America. Recently the beetle and pathogen were discovered on several Juglans species in northern Italy. Little is known about the extra-generic extent of host acceptability and suitability for the WTB. We report the occurrence of both the WTB and G. morbida in three species of wingnut, Pterocarya fraxinifolia Spach, Pterocarya rhoifolia Siebold and Zuccarini, and Pterocarya stenoptera de Candolle (Juglandaceae) growing in the United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service, National Clonal Germplasm Repository collection in northern California (NCGR) and in the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in southern California, United States of America. In two instances (once in P. stenoptera and once in P. fraxinifolia) teneral (i.e., brood) adult WTB emerged and were collected more than four months after infested branch sections had been collected in the field. Koch’s postulates were satisfied with an isolate of G.

(e-mail: [email protected]); (ERH) Department of Entomology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, U.S.A. (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. The behavior of a chrysopid larva from Arizona is described, identified as Ceraeochrysa lineaticornis ( Fitch), which constructs its trash packet from the trichomes of sycamore leaves ( Platanus wrightii S. Watson). The trichomes are particularly dense on the underside of the leaves. To fashion the packet, the larva uses trichomes stuck loosely to the leaf, and others that it plucks from the leaf surface. The packet on the mature larva weighs on average 2.2 mg, an equivalent of approximately two leaf undersides worth of trichomes. Evidence is presented indicating that the packet provides the larva with protection against predation. It is argued that the trichomes are defensive in the sycamore tree itself, and that the chrysopid provides yet another example of an insect that benefits from utilization of a plant defense. Interestingly, the chrysopid benefits the sycamore tree itself.

Notes on taxonomy and nomenclature The family Scolytidae was recently moved as a subfamily (Scolytinae) within the family Curculionidae. HOSTS Pityophthorus juglandis infests only walnut (Juglans spp.) and wingnut species (Pterocarya spp.), with a strong preference for black walnut (J. nigra). Historically, P. juglandis was mainly reported on J. major in Arizona and New Mexico, the native areas of the beetle, where it was considered as a minor pest. Observations carried out in these States suggest that damage from P. juglandis is restricted primarily to shaded or weakened branches and twigs in the upper crown. The expansion of the beetle’s host range to J. regia and J. nigra growing in plantations or in urban landscapes in the Western USA appears to have taken place during the last 20 years (EPPO, 2015). On these new host species, the beetle activity is more aggressive than on native Western American walnuts (e.g. J. major). Host list: Juglans ailanthifolia, Juglans californica, Juglans cathayensis, Juglans cinerea, Juglans hindsii, Juglans major, Juglans mandshurica, Juglans microcarpa, Juglans mollis, Juglans nigra, Juglans regia, Juglans, Pterocarya fraxinifolia, Pterocarya rhoifolia, Pterocarya stenoptera, Pterocarya GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION Species native to Northern Mexico and the South-Western United States (California, Arizona, New Mexico).
