  • The Effect of Parasitism on the Population Dynamics of the Macadamia Nutborer Gymnandrosoma Aurantianum (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
    The effect of parasitism on the population dynamics of the macadamia nutborer Gymnandrosoma aurantianum (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Helga Blanco-Metzler1*, Allan D. Watt2 & Derek Cosens3 1. Crop Protection Research Centre (CIPROC), University of Costa Rica. San José, Costa Rica; [email protected] 2. Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Edinburgh, Scotland. 3. Zoology Department, Edinburgh University, Scotland. * Correspondence author Received 15-X-2008. Corrected 25-V-2009. Accepted 26-VI-2009. Abstract: Biological control on crop infesting insects represent an useful method in modern agriculture. A search for parasitoids of the macadamia nutborer was carried out during a three year study, and their effect on the popu- lation fluctuation of the borer was determined. An egg parasitoid belonging to the family Trichogrammatidae and four larval parasitoids, Microgastrine I, Microgastrine II, Ascogaster sp. (Hymeoptera: Braconidae) and Pristomerus sp. (Hymeoptera: Ichneumonidae) were recovered. Parasitism percentage by Microgastrine I was 15% in 1991, 16% in 1992 and 4% in 1993; Microgastrine II was not collected in 1991, but accounted for a 4.3% of parasitism in 1992 and 3.7% in 1993; Ascogaster sp. was registered since 1992 with 3% parasitism (29% in 1993). We found an inverse relationship between total parasitism and the mean of damaged nuts. Parasitoids play an important role in the reduction of the G. aurantianum population. Rev. Biol. Trop. 57 (4): 1245-1252. Epub 2009 December 01. Key words: Gymnandrosoma aurantianum (Ecdytolopha torticornis), biological control, parasitoids, macada- mia, Costa Rica.

  • Scientific Names of Pest Species in Tortricidae (Lepidoptera)
    RESEARCH Scientific Names of Pest Species in Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) Frequently Cited Erroneously in the Entomological Literature John W. Brown Abstract. The scientific names of several pest species in the moth meate the literature. For example, the subfamilial designation for family Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) frequently are cited erroneously in Olethreutinae (rather than Olethreutidae) was slow to be accepted contemporary entomological literature. Most misuse stems from the for many years following Obraztsov’s (1959) treatment of the group. fact that many proposed name changes appear in systematic treat- They even appear at both taxonomic levels (i.e., Olethreutinae and ments that are not seen by most members of the general entomologi- Olethreutidae) in different papers in the same issue of the Canadian cal community. Also, there is resistance among some entomologists Entomologist in the 1980s! (Volume 114 (6), 1982) Olethreutinae to conform to recently proposed changes in the scientific names of gradually was absorbed into the North America literature, espe- well-known pest species. Species names discussed in this paper are cially following publication of the Check List of the Lepidoptera Brazilian apple leafroller, Bonagota salubricola (Meyrick); western of America North of Mexico (Hodges 1983), which has served as a black-headed budworm, Acleris gloverana (Walsingham); and green standard for more than 20 years. budworm, Choristoneura retiniana (Walsingham). Generic names During preparation of a world catalog of Tortricidae (Brown discussed include those for false codling moth, Thaumatotibia leu- 2005), it became obvious to me that several taxonomically correct cotreta (Meyrick); grape berry moth, Paralobesia viteana (Clemens); combinations of important pest species were not in common use in pitch twig moth, Retinia comstockiana (Fernald); codling moth, the entomological literature.

C. AT 75 CENTS PER COPY — ADVERTISEMENT The scientific publications of the National Museum consist of two series Proceedings and Bulletins. The Proceedings, the first volume of which was issued in 1878, are intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers based on the collections of the National Museum, setting forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology derived therefrom, or containing descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. One or two volumes are completed annually and copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are dis- tributed as soon as published to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of the volume. The Bulletins^ the first of which was issued in 1875, consist of a series of separate organizations comprising chiefly monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occa- sionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, and catalogues of type specimens, special collections, etc. The majority of the volumes are octavos, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable.

  • United States Department of Agriculture LIST of INTERCEPTED
    Bur.Ent. & P. Q. Issued May 1939 United States Department of Agriculture BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY AND PLANT QUARANTINE SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS LIST OF INTERCEPTED PLANT PESTS, 1937 (List of Pests Recorded During the Period July 1, 1936, to June 30, 1937, In- clusive, as Intercepted in, on, or with Plants and Plant Products Entering United States Territory.) INTRODUCTION The period covered by this report represents the twenty-fourth year for which lists of intercepted plant pests have been issued. While the earlier reports gave the details regarding practically all organisms found on the plant material in- spected, the present paper omits many organisms entirely and summarizes the interceptions of many common or incompletely determined pests in short para- graphs, hence the detailed table contains only a fraction of the total findings. This report is based on interceptions for which determinations were received and indexed during the fiscal year. Determinations for collections made late in the year are often received after the close of the year and are included with those of the following year. The summarized records cover pests intercepted in, on, or with plants and plant products (1) imported, (2) offered for but refused entry, (3) held as ships' stores, etc., and hence not imported through customs, (4) offered for entry for immediate export or for immediate transportation and exportation in bond, and (5) in domestic shipments reaching the mainland from Hawaii and Puerto Rico. A cross-indexed file covering the more important and interesting interceptions is maintained in Washington and serves as the basis for this list.

  • Melicoccus Bijugatus Jacquin (Sapindaceae), Quenepa: a New
    Life: The Excitement of Biology 1 (1) 3 Melicoccus bijugatus Jacquin (Sapindaceae), quenepa: a new host plant record for the Citrus Fruit Borer, Gymnandrosoma aurantianum Lima, 1927 (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) and the genus Gymnandrosoma in Puerto Rico1 Irma Cabrera-Asencio2, Alberto L. Vélez3, Santos A. Henríquez4, and Jorge A. Santiago-Blay5 Abstract: The Citrus Fruit Borer, Gymnandrosoma aurantianum Lima, 1927 (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is a major pest of Neotropical fruits. We report this species for the first time from Melicoccus bijugatus Jacquin (Sapindaceae), commonly known in Puerto Rico as quenepa. Distinguishing features for the three species of Gymnandrosoma reported for Puerto Rico, G. aurantianum, G. leucothorax, and G. trachycerus, are given. Key Words: Melicoccus bijugatus, new host plant, Citrus Fruit Borer, Gymnandrosoma aurantianum, Arthropoda, Hexapoda, Lepidoptera, Tortricidae Tortricidae are a large (approximately 10,000 described species) and economically important insect family in the order Lepidoptera (Beccaloni et al. 2003; Brown 2005; Brown et al. 2008; Baixeras et al. 2010). Gymnandrosoma is a mostly Neotropical genus of oleuthreutine tortricid currently containing nine species, including G. gonomela (Lower, 1899) from Australia (Horak 2006) and G. junina Razowski and Wojtusiak 2010 from Perú. According to Adamski and Brown (2001), Gymnandrosoma adults have the following four synapomorphies that uniquely distinguish them from those of other putatively closely related taxa in the Ecdytolopha group of genera, such as Ecdytolopha, Thaumatotibia, Pseudogalleria, and Cryptophlebia, of the tribe Grapholitini: 1) forewing 1.95- 2.08 longer than wide (Table 4 in Adamski and Brown 2001 and Figure 1, this work), other genera have a larger l/w ratio; 2) male antennae with basal fourth slightly flattened, bearing conspicuously long sensory setae (“cilia” sensu Adamski and Brown 2001) throughout (Figure 58 in Adamski and Brown 2001 and Figure 2A, arrows, this work), 3) male hind tibia with dense, modified, 1 Submitted on August 15, 2012.

ABSTRACT Chemical and cultural practices were evaluated on the Talponia batesi Heinrich control, this is the most important pest that injure cherimola fruits at Coatepec Harinas, Méx. The treatments were cloth and paper bagging, spraying and the control. The fruits inside the cloth and paper bags had the lower number of injured seed and holes on fruits in comparison with the control and the sprayed ones (Clorpyrifos 480 and Malathion 1000). Size, weight and seed number of fruits were higher with the bagging fruits. The bagging practice could become and efficient T. batesi H. way of control. Key words: Annona cherimola, T. batesi, control practices.

  • Moth Records
    MOTHS of the University of Guelph Arboretum Contributions by Candice Talbot (2012-2014) and Andrew Bendall (2013-present) Other contributors: Andalyne Tofflemire, Chris Earley, Fiona Reid, Mike Kent The 2018 edition of the Arboretum list contains 851 species of moth. Most adults were seen at or near the J.C. Taylor Nature Centre, being attracted to the white building lights, or to a black light and sheet hung by the building, or to painted bait on nearby trees. Semi-regular monitoring was started by Candice Talbot in the spring of 2012, with a small number of incidental observations pre-dating that time. First record dates, where known, are shown at right as YYYYMMDD. Those with an asterisk represent a first documented sighting if the date of an earlier record was not available. We now follow the taxonomy outlined in Pohl, Patterson & Pelham (2016) Annotated taxonomic checklist of the Lepidoptera of North America, North of Mexico, and adopt their revised numbering system for all valid North American species. Identifications are made (with varying degrees of certainty) from photographs using a variety of published print and online resources for comparison. This is a work in progress and identifications are revisited from time to time. We acknowledge that definitive identification of some species is not possible without dissection of the genitalia or, in the case of some microlepidoptera, rearing larvae collected from the host plant. Our uncertainty is indicated in various ways, including the use of [t] for a tentative identification, by indicating a group of species that can't be separated from external features, or by identifying to genus only.

  • Predator to Prey to Poop: Bats As Microbial Hosts and Insectivorous Hunters
    Predator to Prey to Poop: Bats as Microbial Hosts and Insectivorous Hunters A Thesis SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Miranda Galey IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE Dr. Ron Moen, Dr. Jessica R. Sieber September 2020 Copyright © Miranda Galey 2020 Abstract Bat fecal samples are a rich source of ecological data for bat biologists, entomologists, and microbiologists. Feces collected from individual bats can be used to profile the gut microbiome using microbial DNA and to understand bat foraging strategies using arthropod DNA. We used eDNA collected from bat fecal samples to better understand bats as predators in the context of their unique gut physiology. We used high through- put sequencing of the COI gene and 16S rRNA gene to determine the diet composition and gut microbiome composition of three bat species in Minnesota: Eptesicus fuscus, Myotis lucifugus and M. septentrionalis. In our analysis of insect prey, we found that E. fuscus consistently foraged for a higher diversity of beetle species compared to other insects. We found that the proportional frequency of tympanate samples from M. septentrionalis and M. lucifugus was similar, while M. septentrionalis consistently preyed more often upon non-flying species. We used the same set of COI sequences to determine presence of pest species, rare species, and insects not previously observed in Minnesota. We were able to combine precise arthropod identification and the for- aging areas of individually sampled bats to observe possible range expansion of some insects. The taxonomic composition of the bat gut microbiome in all three species was found to be consistent with the composition of a mammalian small intestine.
