Abstract The sex pheromone of the scarab beetle, Phyllophaga anxia, is a blend of the methyl esters of two amino acids, L-valine and L-isoleucine. A field trapping study was conducted, deploying different blends of the two compounds at 59 locations in the United States and Canada. More than 57,000 males of 61 Phyllophaga species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) were captured and identified. Three major findings included: (1) widespread use of the two compounds [of the 147 Phyllophaga (sensu stricto) species found in the United States and Canada, males of nearly 40% were captured]; (2) in most species intraspecific male response to the pheromone blends was stable between years and over geography; and (3) an unusual pheromone polymorphism was described from P. anxia. Populations at some locations were captured with L-valine methyl ester alone, whereas populations at other locations were captured with L-isoleucine methyl ester alone. At additional locations, the L-valine methyl ester-responding populations and the L-isoleucine methyl ester-responding populations were both present, producing a bimodal capture curve. In southeastern Massachusetts and in Rhode Island, in the United States, P. anxia males were captured with blends of L-valine methyl ester and L-isoleucine methyl ester.

A survey of Wisconsin Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) conducted from literature searches, collection inventories, and three years of field work (1997-1999), yielded 177 species representing nine families, two of which, Ochodaeidae and Ceratocanthidae, represent new state family records. Fifty-six species (32% of the Wisconsin fauna) represent new state species records, having not previously been recorded from the state. Literature and collection distributional records suggest the potential for at least 33 additional species to occur in Wisconsin.

  • Biological Control of Insect Pests in Puerto Rico1 Fernando Gallardo-Covas2 J
    Biological control of insect pests in Puerto Rico1 Fernando Gallardo-Covas2 J. Agrie. Univ. P.R. 101:153-163 (2017) ABSTRACT The first documented observation on biological control of insects in Puerto Rico was made by botanist Andres Pedro Ledru who arrived on the island in 1797 with a commission of French scientists. Much later (1880- 1887), Johannes Gundlach classified braconid wasps of the genus Conura. In 1895, Fernando López-Tuero published a treatise on sugarcane and the beneficial effects of Apantelessp. and Euplectrussp., two natural enemies of the sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis F. Since then more than 75 natural enemies were introduced, some very effective like the toad Bufo marinus L. in controlling white grubs in sugarcane, and others partially effective like the coffee leafminer parasitoid, Mi rax insularis Muesebeck. Also, natural enemies were exported from Puerto Rico to other countries as far away as Mauritania. However, with the advent of chlorinated insecticides derived from DDT, in the early 1950s, the work on biocontrol declined dramatically, and not until the mid-1980s was biological control again considered a remedy to the problem of pests. In Puerto Rico, research was focused more on recognizing the endemic fauna of natural enemies and the introduction of parasitoids/ predators. This paper presents a historical review and discussion of trends and approaches to the biological control of pests from its beginnings to the present. Key words: entomology, Puerto Rico, biological control, parasitoids, predators RESUMEN Control biológico de los insectos plaga en Puerto Rico: Revisión bibliográfica La primera observación documentada sobre control biológico de insectos en Puerto Rico fue hecha por el botánico Andrés Pedro Ledrú, quien llegó con una comisión de científicos franceses en el 1797.

    Pardo-Locarno et al.: White Grub Complex in Agroecological Systems 355 STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION OF THE WHITE GRUB COMPLEX (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE* ) IN AGROECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF NORTHERN CAUCA, COLOMBIA LUIS CARLOS PARDO-LOCARNO1, JAMES MONTOYA-LERMA2, ANTHONY C. BELLOTTI3 AND AART VAN SCHOONHOVEN3 1Vegetales Orgánicos C.T.A. 2Departmento de Biología, Universidad del Valle, Apartado Aéreo 25360, Cali, Colombia 3Parque Científico Agronatura, CIAT, Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical Apartado Aéreo, 6713 Cali, Colombia ABSTRACT The larvae of some species of Scarabaeidae, known locally as “chisas” (whitegrubs), are impor- tant pests in agricultural areas of the Cauca, Colombia. They form a complex consisting of many species belonging to several genera that affect the roots of commercial crops. The objec- tive of the present study was to identify the members of the complex present in two localities (Caldono and Buenos Aires) and collect basic information on their biology, economic impor- tance, and larval morphology. The first of two types of sampling involved sampling adults in light traps installed weekly throughout one year. The second method involved larval collec- tions in plots of cassava, pasture, coffee, and woodland. Each locality was visited once per month and 10 samples per plot were collected on each occasion, with each sample from a quad- rants 1 m2 by 15 cm deep, during 1999-2000. Light traps collected 12,512 adults belonging to 45 species and 21 genera of Scarabaeidae within the subfamilies Dynastinae, Melolonthinae, and Rutelinae. Members of the subfamily Dynastinae predominated with 48% of the species (mostly Cyclocephala), followed in decreasing order by Melolonthinae (35%) and Rutelinae (15%, principally Anomala).

    A Guide to Arthropods Bandelier National Monument Top left: Melanoplus akinus Top right: Vanessa cardui Bottom left: Elodes sp. Bottom right: Wolf Spider (Family Lycosidae) by David Lightfoot Compiled by Theresa Murphy Nov 2012 In collaboration with Collin Haffey, Craig Allen, David Lightfoot, Sandra Brantley and Kay Beeley WHAT ARE ARTHROPODS? And why are they important? What’s the difference between Arthropods and Insects? Most of this guide is comprised of insects. These are animals that have three body segments- head, thorax, and abdomen, three pairs of legs, and usually have wings, although there are several wingless forms of insects. Insects are of the Class Insecta and they make up the largest class of the phylum called Arthropoda (arthropods). However, the phylum Arthopoda includes other groups as well including Crustacea (crabs, lobsters, shrimps, barnacles, etc.), Myriapoda (millipedes, centipedes, etc.) and Arachnida (scorpions, king crabs, spiders, mites, ticks, etc.). Arthropods including insects and all other animals in this phylum are characterized as animals with a tough outer exoskeleton or body-shell and flexible jointed limbs that allow the animal to move. Although this guide is comprised mostly of insects, some members of the Myriapoda and Arachnida can also be found here. Remember they are all arthropods but only some of them are true ‘insects’. Entomologist - A scientist who focuses on the study of insects! What’s bugging entomologists? Although we tend to call all insects ‘bugs’ according to entomology a ‘true bug’ must be of the Order Hemiptera. So what exactly makes an insect a bug? Insects in the order Hemiptera have sucking, beak-like mouthparts, which are tucked under their “chin” when Metallic Green Bee (Agapostemon sp.) not in use.

  • On the Occurrence of Pelecinus Polyturator (Hymenoptera: Pelecinidae) in Manitoba, Canada
    Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Manitoba, Volume 64, 2008 On the occurrence of Pelecinus polyturator (Hymenoptera: Pelecinidae) in Manitoba, Canada Terry D. Galloway Department of Entomology University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2 [email protected] Pelecinus polyturator (Drury) is a striking, jet black wasp that is endoparasitic in June beetle larvae, Phyllophaga spp. in North, Central and South America (Ham- mond 1944, Lim et al. 1980, Johnson and Musetti 1999). The behaviour of this wasp is poorly known, with limited observations on host location by Davis (1919) and Bennett (2003) and on mating behaviour (Aguiar 1997). Hammond (1944) reported that 1-3% of Phyllophaga larvae were parasitized in Ontario and Québec. In 1999, Johnson and Musetti revised the genus Pelecinus Latreille, and provided extensive information on the distribution and biology of P. polyturator, the most widely distrib- uted species in the genus. They obtained specimens for their study from a number of museums in Canada and the United States, and on that basis, plotted the distribution of the specimens they obtained, mostly from the eastern United States and southern Ontario, with scattered records from Central America, the central United States and Atlantic provinces (Fig. 7B, Johnson and Musetti 1999). They also provided a map to describe a climatic model with potential distribution for P. polyturator in North America (Fig. 7A, Johnson and Musetti 1999). Johnson and Musetti (1999) did not obtain any specimens of P. polyturator from Manitoba from any of the museums they contacted, nor did their climatic model include Manitoba even within the range of marginal climate for this species.
