  • A New Species of Isometopus from Iran (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Isometopinae)
    ACTA ENTOMOLOGICA MUSEI NATIONALIS PRAGAE Published 30.vi.2017 Volume 57(1), pp. 23–34 ISSN 0374-1036 http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:9BE0AE51-E472-4B0E-B36F-02E702DB415B doi: 10.1515/aemnp-2017-0055 A new species of Isometopus from Iran (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Isometopinae) Reza HOSSEINI Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, University of Guilan, Rasht, Iran, P.O. Box: 41635-1314; e-mails: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. A new species, Isometopus (Isometopus) linnavuorii sp. nov., is descri- bed from Iran. Illustrations of male genitalia, scanning electron micrographs of male habitus and other selected characters of this new taxon are provided. The diagnosis of the new species is based on a comparison with other congeneric from the Middle East and Europe. The type specimens were deposited in the in- sect collection of the University of Guilan, Rasht, Iran. Isometopus (Isometopus) kaznakovi Kiritshenko, 1939 and Isometopus (Isometopus) mirifi cus Mulsant & Rey, 1879 are excluded from the fauna of Iran. The gender agreement is corrected in the name Isometopus praetermissus Akingbohungbe, 2012. Key words. Heteroptera, Miridae, Isometopinae, new species, taxonomy, Guilan province, Iran, Palaearctic Region Introduction The subfamily Isometopinae is a group of generally small, strongly cryptic plant bugs with worldwide distribution (KERZHNER & JOSIFOV 1999, SCHUH 2013, CASSIS & SCHUH 2012). The members of this subfamily have paired ocelli between the compound eyes, which easily distinguishes them from other mirid subfamilies. The bugs appear to be generalist predators of soft-bodied insects, such as aphids and scale insects, inhabiting trunks, bark or branches of various broadleaved trees (HESSE 1947, WHEELER & HENRY 1978).

Box 50, Bathurst, N.B. E2A 321, Canada, [email protected] Corresponding author (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: The Roshtkhar Fe-Cu±Au (IOCG) prospecting area is located in the northeastern part of Lut Block, and 12 km north of Shahrak village and about 75 km northwest Sangan iron mine. This area belongs to the Khaf-Kashmar-Bardaskan volcano-plutonic belt (KKB-VPMB) of northeastern Iran along the E-W trending regional Dorouneh Fault. The mineralization is related to intrusive rocks with an area of approximately 65 km2 that intruded into Early Eocene volcanic rocks (andesite, andesite-basalt, trachy- andesite, and pyroclastic rocks), and is also cut by diabase dikes. Petrographic studies indicate that intrusive rocks consists mainly of syenite to monzonite with minor amount of syenite porphyry, monzonite porphyry, and diorite porphyry with granular and porphyritic texture, respectively. U-Pb dating of zircons from a syenite using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) yields an ages of ca.

  • Analytical Report on the Status of the Target Villages, Nov 2014.Pdf
    Analytical Report on the Status of the target Villages November 30th, 2014 Introduction Saffron value chain development program has been implemented since the end of year 2013 with the aim of promoting production and obtaining the maximum value added of saffron by the beneficiaries of this industry in various sectors of agriculture, processing and export of saffron with the cooperation of Agriculture Bank of Iran through United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). In the agricultural and production sector, according to studies carried out, there is no optimum performance and efficiency in comparison with the international standards and norms; in addition the beneficiaries of this sector do not obtain appropriate value from activities made in this sector. To this end, in one of the executive parts of this program, under improving the efficiency of saffron production, 20 villages in two provinces of southern and Razavi Khorasan were selected. The Characteristics of these villages, being as the center as well as being well known regarding the production of saffron, were the reasons of choosing these areas. Also, in all these villages, local experts and consultants, who have been trained by the executive project team and have been employed under this program will make technical advices to the farmers and hold different training courses for them. The following report is part of the data collected and analyzed by these consultants in 16 selected villages up to the reporting date. These reports, training courses, and technical advices, are an attempt to improve the manufacturing process, and increase production efficiency and product quality in the production of saffron.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Compsidolon Reuter from China with eleven species is reviewed here. Three of them, C. ailaoshanensis, C. flavidum, and C. pilosum are described as new to science. C. eximium (Reuter) is recorded from China for the first time. Compsidolon punctulatum Qi and Nonnaizab, 1995 is treated as a junior synonym of Compsidolon nebulosum (Reuter, 1878). A key to Chinese species of Compsidolon Reuter is given. Photographs of dorsal habitus, scanning electron micrographs of metathoracic scent-gland, and illustrations of male genitalia are also provided. All type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Nankai University, Tianjin, China. Key words: Heteroptera, Miridae, Compsidolon, new species, new synonymy, China Introduction Reuter (1899) erected the monotypic genus Compsidolon to accommodate the type species, C. elegantulum from Syria. It was characterized by the dorsum covered with dark spots. Wagner (1965, 1975) presented keys to subgenera and species, and illustrated the male genitalia. His works were focused on the European fauna. Linnavuori (1992, 1993, 2010) recorded species from Greece, Middle East, and Africa.

  • The Biology of the Predator Complex of the Filbert Aphid, Myzocallis Coryli
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Russell H. Messing for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology presented in July 1982 Title: The Biology of the Predator Complex of the Filbert Aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze) in Western Oregon. Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy M. T. AliNiiee Commercial filbert orchards throughout the Willamette Valley were surveyed for natural enemies of the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze). A large number of predaceous insects were found to prey upon M. coryli, particularly members of the families Coccinellidae, Miridae, Chrysopidae, Hemerobiidae, and Syrphidae. Also, a parasitic Hymenopteran (Mesidiopsis sp.) and a fungal pathogen (Triplosporium fresenii) were found to attack this aphid species. Populations of major predators were monitored closely during 1981 to determine phenology and synchrony with aphid populations and to determine their relative importance. Adalia bipunctata, Deraeocoris brevis, Chrysopa sp. and Hemerobius sp. were found to be extremely well synchronized with aphid population development cycles. Laboratory feeding trials demonstrated that all 4 predaceous insects tested (Deraeocoris brevis, Heterotoma meriopterum, Compsidolon salicellum and Adalia bipunctata) had a severe impact upon filbert aphid population growth. A. bipunctata was more voracious than the other 3 species, but could not live as long in the absence of aphid prey. Several insecticides were tested both in the laboratory and field to determine their relative toxicity to filbert aphids and the major natural enemies. Field tests showed Metasystox-R to be the most effective against filbert aphids, while Diazinon, Systox, Zolone, and Thiodan were moderately effective. Sevin was relatively ineffective. All insecticides tested in the field severely disrupted the predator complex.
