FROM SOUTHERN ROMANIA Mirela CEAN Central Phytosanitary Laboratory, 11 Blvd, Voluntari, Ilfov County, 077190, Romania Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract Holocacista rivillei Stainton is an European grapevine leafminer distributed in southern Europe and western Asia (Nieukerken et al., 2012). This small butterfly was described from Malta and is considered a minor pest in vineyards being a monophagous species. Another two lepidopteran leafminers occur in European vineyards, both species being originated from North America, i.e. Antispila oinophylla van Nieukerken&Wagner, 2012 (Lepidoptera: Heliozelidae) and Phyllocnistis vitegenella Clemens, 1859 (Lepidoptera:Gracilariidae). Few years ago mines in grapevine leaves were observed in a vineyard located in southern part of the country (Voluntari, Ilfov county). The leaves with symptoms were collected and larvae were reared in laboratory to obtain adults. Identification of the species was done based on their morphological characteristics. Photographs of mines, adults, pupae and genitalia slides are here showed. Preliminary observation on the behavior of this pest are reported.

A Review of Leaf-Mining Insects and Control Options for Their Management, with Special Reference to Holocacista Capensis
A Review of Leaf-mining Insects and Control Options for their Management, with Special Reference to Holocacista capensis (Lepidoptera: Heliozelidae) in Vineyards in South Africa L.A.I. Steyn, H. Geertsema, A.P. Malan, P. Addison* Department of Conservation Ecology and Entomology, Faculty of AgriSciences, Stellenbosch University, Private Bag X1, Matieland 7602, Stellenbosch, South Africa Date of submission for publication: May 2020 Date of acceptance for publication: August 2020 Key words: Integrated pest management, leaf miner, biological control, grapevine A leaf-mining pest occurring on commercial varieties of Vitis vinifera in South Africa was investigated due to the presence of cocoons on fruit. The leaf miner, Holocacista capensis, was reported on grapevines in 2012. Since its discovery on commercial grape varieties, control strategies have consisted solely of insecticide applications. Despite the fact that the leaf-mining habit is taxonomically diverse and considered ancient, little is generally known of leaf-mining larvae. A review was conducted in order to better understand the leaf-mining strategy and amalgamate the current knowledge of other leaf-mining insects. The general evolutionary history within the full complement of taxa that display the leaf-mining habit is discussed. The review focuses on lepidopteran leaf-mining pests and discloses the known information associated with the first report and the impact of H. capensis in the Western Cape, South Africa. As no control methods have been identified forH. capensis in vineyards, various chemical, biological and cultural control strategies adopted for other leaf-mining pests were investigated. Control options, including the use of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), parasitoids, physical and cultural control measures, were considered and are discussed. -

ZooKeys 507: 41–97. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.507.9536 Abstract A grapevine leafminer found recently in table grape orchards and vineyards in the Paarl region (Western Cape, South Africa) is described as Holocacista capensis sp. n. It has also been found on native Rhoicissus digitata and bred on that species in the laboratory. It is closely related to Holocacista salutans (Meyrick, 1921), comb. n. (from Antispila), described from Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, but widespread in southern Africa and a native leafminer of various Vitaceae: Rhoicissus tomentosa, R. digitata, R. tridentata and Cis- sus cornifolia. Holocacista capensis has been found on Vitis vinifera both in Gauteng and Western Cape, the earliest record being from 1950 in Pretoria. -

The forewing length and wingspan of 650 species were measured and the same data were retrieved from published papers to determine which species and family have the smallest moths in the world. The minimal recorded forewing length was found to be around 1.2–1.3 mm and the wingspan around 2.6–2.8 mm in two families, the Gracillariidae and Nepticulidae. -
Recruitment of Native Parasitoids by the Exotic Pest Tuta Absoluta in Southern Italy
Bulletin of Insectology 65 (1): 51-61, 2012 ISSN 1721-8861 Recruitment of native parasitoids by the exotic pest Tuta absoluta in Southern Italy Lucia ZAPPALA1, Umberto BERNARDO2, Antonio BioNoil, Arturo Cocco3, Salvatore DELIPERI3, Gavino DELRIO3, Massimo GIORGINI2, Paolo PEDATA2, Carmelo RAPISARDA1, Giovanna TROPEA GARZIA1, Gaetano SIscARo1 'Department of Agri-food and Environmental Systems Management, University of Catania, Italy 2CNR, Institute for Plant Protection, UOS of Portici, Napoli, Italy 3Department of Agriculture, University of Sassari, Italy Abstract The tomato borer Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is an invasive pest native to South America and since its arrival in Europe the tomato production has faced severe yield loss. The complex of indigenous parasitoids that colonized this new host species was monitored in Southern Italy during 2009-2011, in some of the regions where T. absoluta was initially detected (Campania, Sardinia and Sic- ily) with the aim of identifying the parasitoid complex of the tomato borer as well as finding potential biocontrol agents of this invasive pest. The survey was carried out by sampling the tomato borer on open field and protected greenhouse crops, on wild secondary hosts and by exposing sentinel infested tomato plants. A quick shift of native parasitoids to the new invasive host was observed and the parasitoid complex associated to T. absoluta seems to follow the typical pattern of colonization on exotic pests. The recovered species were, in fact, mainly generalist idiobiont parasitoids causing low levels of parasitism in open field. The species found belong to 13 genera and 6 families (Ichneumonidae, Braconidae, Eulophidae, Elasmidae, Pteromalidae and Trichogrammatidae). In particular, the 10 identified species were: Dia- degma pulchripes (Kokujev), Bracon osculator (Nees), Bracon (Habrobracon) nigricans Szepligeti, Necremnus sp. -

Potential of South African Entomopathogenic Nematodes to Control the Leaf Miner, Holocacista Capensis (Lepidoptera: Heliozelidae)
Potential of South African entomopathogenic nematodes to control the leaf miner, Holocacista capensis (Lepidoptera: Heliozelidae) L.A.I. Steyn, P. Addison and A.P. Malan* Department of Conservation Ecology and Entomology, Faculty of AgriSciences, Stellenbosch University, Private Bag X1, Matieland 7602, Stellenbosch, South Africa Submitted for publication: March 2019 Accepted for publication: July 2019 Key words: biological control, cocoon casing, EPN, Heterorhabditis, integrated pest management, leaf miner, Steinernema The Cape grapevine leafminer, Holocacista capensis, a sporadic pest of economic importance, is found in South African table and wine grape vineyards. The cocoon casings, constructed by the final instar larvae, can be found attached to grape bunches, posing a phytosanitary risk for table grape export markets. The current study aimed to determine the susceptibility of leaf-mining H. capensis larvae to seven entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) species belonging to Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae. To determine nematode virulence occupied leaf-mining galleries were extracted from infested leaves and inoculated with 200 infective juveniles (IJs) in 50 µl of distilled water, for each of the EPNs screened. Concentration assays were conducted and and lethal dose was determined for the three most virulent species (Heterorhabditis baujardi, H. indica and H. noenieputensis), using concentrations of 0, 25, 50, 100, 200, and 400 IJs/leaf-mining larva. High mortality of leaf-mining larvae was obtained with H. baujardi (92%), H. noenieputensis (85%) and H. indica (83%). Almost double the number of H. noenieputensis (34 nematodes/insect) penetrated the insect larvae, in comparison with the other two EPNs. However, the relative potency of H. baujardi was 3.56 times higher than for H. -

The volatile pheromones from calling females were collected by solid phase micro extraction (SPME) and analyzed by gas chromatography with electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD). Two compounds from A. oinophylla females eliciting electrophysiological activity from the conspecific male antenna were identified as (Z)-5-tetradecenal and (Z)-7-tetradecenal by coupled gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. SPME collections from H. rivillei produced no GC-EAD active compounds but analysis of fatty acyl moieties in the pheromone gland, demonstrated the presence of the putative pheromone biosynthetic precursors (Z)-5-dodecenoic acid and (Z)-7-tetradecenoic acid. Field trapping experiments in Italy confirmed that (Z)-5-tetradecenal and (Z)-7-tetradecenal are essential for the attraction of male A. oinophylla in a blend ratio of 15:100 respectively, whereas (Z)-5-dodecenal and (Z)-7-tetradecenal attract male H. rivillei in a blend ratio of 100:6.

Larvae of several species of shield bearers feed entirely within the leaves of apple, cottonwood, crape myrtle, oak, madrone, manzanita, poplar, and strawberry trees. Description of Damage (larvae and adults): Coptodisca females pierce the underside of a leaf to lay eggs within the leaf. The larvae form mines in the host leaves by eating out the tissue between the upper and lower epidermis. The larvae make serpentine leaf mines in the beginning and then make blotch mines in later instars. When mature, the larvae cut a disc of tissue out of the leaf, approximately 0.25-inch long, and uses it to form a cocoon.
