Received: 2010.02.03; Accepted: 2010.03.26; Published: 2010.03.29 Abstract The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) was determined. The genome is a circular molecule 15 481 bp long. It presents a typical gene organization and order for completely sequenced lepidopteran mitogenomes, but differs from the insect ancestral type for the placement of tRNAMet. The nucleotide composition of the genome is also highly A + T biased, accounting for 80.38%, with a slightly positive AT skewness (0.010), indicating the occurrence of more As than Ts, as found in the Noctuoidea species. All protein-coding genes (PCGs) are initiated by ATN codons, except for COI, which is tentatively designated by the CGA codon as observed in other le- pidopterans.

  • Danske Snyltehvepse Og -Fluer Fra Fyrrevikleren, Rhyacionia Buoliana Schiff
    Danske snyltehvepse og -fluer fra fyrrevikleren, Rhyacionia buoliana Schiff. (Lepid., Tortricidaey af PETER ESBJERG (With a summary: Danish hymenopterous and dipterous parasites from the pine shoot moth, Rhyacionia buoliana Schiff.). Fyrrevikleren er på grund af sin forstlige betydning blevet fulgt med be­ tydelig interesse i Europa de senere år. Også i Danmark har den været genstand for øget opmærksomhed, hvad især hænger sammen med den stigende anvendelse af contortafyr (Pinus contorta Loud.) i dansk skov­ brug (B. Bejer-Petersen, 1966 ). Contortafyrren kan nemlig angribes meget stærkt, da den hører til blandt fyrreviklerens foretrukne værtstræer. Deri­ mod finder man her i landet sjældent større angreb på andre fyrretræer (Esbjerg og Feilberg, 1970). De fleste udenlandske undersøgelser har vist, at fyrrevikleren ofte er udsat for en ikke ringe parasitering af en række snyltehvepse og -fluer. Naturlige spørgsmål angående det hjemlige fyrreviklerproblem har derfor været, om vor fyrreviklerbestand også parasiteres, og i bekræftende fald da i hvilket omfang, og om parasitterne er de samme som i nabolandene. Undersøgelsen heraf er begrænset til contortafyr med udeladelse af æg• parasitter, der antagelig kun findes i ringe antal. MATERlAL E OG METODIK Indsamling Indsamlingerne er foretaget i juni måned, da de angrebne skud på denne tid er særlig lette at erkende, og klækningen er nært forestående. I materialet indgår 15 lokaliteter, der repræsenterer fyrreviklerangreb af varierende tæthed og styrke, i aldrene 1-1 O år (tabel 1 og fig. 1). Prø­ verne udtoges systematisk efter groftmasket kvadratnet i årene 1969-70 og for et enkelt områdes vedkommende også i 1968. Der indsamledes ialt ca. 9000 skud.

  • Diabrotica Barberi
    EPPO Datasheet: Diabrotica barberi Last updated: 2020-11-26 IDENTITY Preferred name: Diabrotica barberi Authority: Smith & Lawrence Taxonomic position: Animalia: Arthropoda: Hexapoda: Insecta: Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae Other scientific names: Diabrotica longicornis barberi Smith & Lawrence Common names: northern corn rootworm view more common names online... EPPO Categorization: A1 list view more categorizations online... more photos... EU Categorization: A1 Quarantine pest (Annex II A) EPPO Code: DIABLO Notes on taxonomy and nomenclature The subfamily Galerucinae (Coleoptera; Chrysomelidae) includes the economically important genus Diabrotica which comprises over 400 described species (including 107 valid species in North and Central America), and is one of the most speciose leaf beetle genera in the New World. Many Diabrotica species feed on flowers, leaves and roots of a wide variety of herbaceous plants, including agricultural crops, vegetables, fruits and ornamentals and are vectors of plant diseases (Derunkov et al., 2013) such as Squash mosaic virus (Krysan & Miller, 1986) or Fusarium spp. (Chiang, 1973). A key to separate Diabrotica from related genera is presented by Derunkov et al. (2015) but despite their bright colours and various patterns, Diabrotica species are notoriously difficult to identify at the species level. Diabrotica barberi Smith & Lawrence (the northern corn rootworm) was originally described as Galleruca longicornis by Say in 1824 and was subsequently transferred to the genus Diabrotica Chevrolat, 1843, considered only as a subspecies of Diabrotica longicornis (Say). However, based on laboratory and ?eld studies, Krysan et al. (1983) elevated the taxon to species level. They concluded that even when the two species occur in the same geographic areas, adults are found in different habitats and they show a clear sexual isolation that supports the decision to elevate D.

    Technical guidelines for genetic conservation and use European black pine Pinus nigra V. Isajev1, B. Fady2, H. Semerci3 and V. Andonovski4 1 Forestry Faculty of Belgrade University, Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro EUFORGEN 2 INRA, Mediterranean Forest Research Unit, Avignon, France 3 Forest Tree Seeds&Tree Breeding Research Directorate, Ankara,Turkey 4 Faculty of Forestry, Skopje, Macedonia FYR These Technical Guidelines are intended to assist those who cherish the valuable European black pine genepool and its inheritance, through conserving valuable seed sources or use in practical forestry. The focus is on conserving the genetic diversity of the species at the European scale. The recommendations provided in this module should be regarded as a commonly agreed basis to be complemented and further developed in local, national or regional conditions. The Guidelines are based on the available knowledge of the species and on widely accepted methods for the conservation of forest genetic resources. Biology and ecology although seed yield is abundant only every 2–4 years. Trees reach sexual maturity at 15–20 years in The European black pine (Pinus their natural habitat. Flowers nigra Arnold) grows up to 30 appear in May. Female inflores- (rarely 40–50) m tall, with a trunk cences are reddish, and male that is usually straight. The bark catkins are yellow.
