November 2007 Phytophagous Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) of the Western Black Sea Region and their ichneumonid parasitoids Z. OKYAR & M. YURTCAN Abstract Eleven agricultural and silviculturally important species of Noctuidae and their parasitoids were determined in 33 localities from the Western Black Sea region between 2001 and 2004. The ichneumonid biological control agents Enicospilus ramidulus, Barylypa amabilis and Itoplectis alternans were obtained by rearing the host larvae. K e y w o r d s : Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, parasitoidism, Western Black Sea Region, Turkey Zusammenfassung 11 land- und forstwirtschaftlich bedeutende Noctuidae-Arten einschließlich ihrer Parasitoide aus 33 Standorten des Gebietes des westlichen Schwarzen Meeres wurden im Zeitraum 2001 bis 2004 studiert. Ichneumonidae der Arten Enicospilus ramidulus, Barylypa amabilis and Itoplectis alternans konnten durch Aufzucht der Wirtslarven festgestellt werden. 377 ©Entomofauna Ansfelden/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Introduction The Noctuidae is the largest family of the Lepidoptera. Larvae of some species are par- ticularly harmful to agricultural and silvicultural regions worldwide. Consequently, for years intense efforts have been carried out to control them through chemical, biological, and cultural methods (LIBURD et al. 2000; HOBALLAH et al. 2004; TOPRAK & GÜRKAN 2005). In the field, noctuid control is often carried out by parasitoid wasps (CHO et al. 2006). Ichneumonids are one of the most prevalent parasitoid groups of noctuids but they also parasitize on other many Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera and Araneae (KASPARYAN 1981; FITTON et al. 1987, 1988; GAULD & BOLTON 1988; WAHL 1993; GEORGIEV & KOLAROV 1999).

Entomol. Fennica 29: 8696. Pseudogonalos hahnii is the only known species of Trigonalidae in Europe. It is a hyperparasitoid of lepidopteran larvae via ichneumonid primary parasitoids. Possibly, it has also been reared from a symphytan larva. We report the species for the first time from Estonia, Lithuania and Russian Fennoscandia, and list all known observations from Finland and Latvia. An overview of the biology of the species is presented with a list of all known host records. S. Väänänen, Vantaa, Finland; E-mail: [email protected] J.

    Environmental Assessment for Dow/Pioneer Rootworm Resistant Corn APHIS’ Analysis and Response to Comments Received on Petition 03-353-01p and the EA. A total of two comments were submitted during the designated 60-day comment period by a private individual and a national trade association. The comment submitted by the trade association supported deregulation of the Cry34/35 Ab1 corn rootworm resistant corn (CRW). This comment stressed the importance of a different mechanism of control compared to the only CRW resistant corn product on the market while providing a new option for managing insect resistance. The commenter also mentioned that this product would provide a wider range of plant protection. The comment in opposition to deregulation of this product was submitted by a private citizen. This commenter expressed a general disapproval of genetically modified plants and suggested that this product should always be regulated. APHIS disagrees with this comment. The author fails to provide any information to support her assertion that this petition should be denied. The commenter also suggested that APHIS extend the comment period, but failed to provide a reason for the extension. Further, this commenter discussed pesticidal issues related to EPA’s role in the regulation of plant incorporated protectants. APHIS defers to EPA on issues related to EPA’s authority. - 2 - Environmental Assessment for Dow/Pioneer Rootworm Resistant Corn USDA/APHIS Decision on Dow AgroSciences and Pioneer Hi-Bred International Petition 03-353-01P Seeking a Determination of Nonregulated Status for Bt cry34/35Ab1 Insect Resistant Corn Line DAS-59122-7 Environmental Assessment TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

  • Hymenoptera) with Highly Specialized Egg Morphology
    Systematic Entomology (2011), 36, 529–548 Maxfischeriinae: a new braconid subfamily (Hymenoptera) with highly specialized egg morphology ∗ ∗ CHARLES ANDREW BORING1 , BARBARA J. SHARANOWSKI2 andMICHAEL J. SHARKEY1 1Department of Entomology, S-225 Agricultural Science Center North, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, U.S.A. and 2Department of Entomology, 214 Animal Science Bldg., University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada Abstract. The tribe Maxfischeriini, previously placed in Helconinae, is emended to subfamily status based on morphological and biological evidence. Proposed autapomorphies for Maxfischeriinae include: the presence of a pronotal shelf, forewing vein 1a and 2a present, although 1a nebulous, ventral valve of the ovipositor with serrations from tip to base and specialized egg morphology. The novel, pedunculate egg morphology is described for Maxfischeria, representing a new life- history strategy among Braconidae. Based on egg and ovipositor morphology, we suggest that Maxfischeria is a proovigenic, koinobiont ectoparasitoid. Five new species of Maxfischeria Papp are described with an illustrated key to all species (Maxfischeria ameliae sp.n., Maxfischeria anic sp.n., Maxfischeria briggsi sp.n., Maxfischeria folkertsorum sp.n. and Maxfischeria ovumancora sp.n.). In addition to the identification key presented here, all known species of Maxfischeria can be separated using the barcoding region of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI ). Based on molecular data, the phylogenetic relationships among the six known species of Maxfischeria are as follows: (M. folkertsorum sp.n. (M. ovumancora sp.n. (M. briggsi sp.n. (M. anic sp.n. (M. tricolor + M. ameliae sp.n.))))). Introduction in the forewing. However, Maxfischeria does not possess other features associated with Helconini, including a distinct Until now the braconid genus Maxfischeria included a lamella on the frons, two strongly developed lateral carinae single species, Maxfischeria tricolor Papp.

  • Lycorma Delicatula (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Fulgoridae: Aphaeninae) Finally, but Suddenly Arrived in Korea

Lycorma delicatula was once mistakenly reported to Email: [email protected] occur in Korea. Now, it has suddenly become common in western Korea, creating the suspicion that it has recently arrived from China and settled in Korea. A brief Received 6 April 2008; accepted 26 August morphological and biological description of L. delicatula is provided, and its 2008. original Korean name, “ggot-mae-mi”, is revalidated. Limois emelianovi, sometimes considered a synonym of emeljanovi, is the correct name for this species, doi: 10.1111/j.1748-5967.2008.00188.x as emeljanovi is simply another transliteration of the personal name Emelianov, Emeljanov or Emel’yanov. The name emelianovi stands correct based on the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature code 32.5.1, because there is no internal evidence of an inadvertent error, and an incorrect transliteration is not considered an inadvertent error. The cytochrome oxidase I (COI) barcoding regions of both species were sequenced and compared for future reference.

From these organisms, which 15 of parasitoid species were found, those species belonging to 5 families in of the order Hymenoptera (Ichneumonidae, Chalcididae, Eulophidae, Elasmidae, Pteromalidae). Nine of these, in which there were 9 of were ichneumonid wasp species: Xanthopimpla flavolineata, Goryphus basilaris, Xanthopimpla punctata, Itoplectis naranyae, Coccygomimus nipponicus, Coccygomimus aethiops, Phaeogenes sp., Atanyjoppa akonis, Triptognatus sp. We discuss the general biology, habitat preferences, and host association of the knowledge of three of these parasitoids, (Xanthopimpla flavolineata, Phaeogenes sp., and Goryphus basilaris). Including general biology, habitat preferences and host association were indicated and discussed.
