Adoretus Versutus Harold 1869] in the Sandy Rhizosphere of Acacia Nilotica Subsp
INT. J. BIOL. BIOTECH., 10 (2): 319-325, 2013. THE OCCURRENCE OF WHITE GRUB [ADORETUS VERSUTUS HAROLD 1869] IN THE SANDY RHIZOSPHERE OF ACACIA NILOTICA SUBSP. NILOTICA SEEDLINGS IRRIGATED WITH MODERATELY SALINE WATER D. Khan1, Zulfiqar Ali Sahito1 and Imtiaz Ahmad2 1Department of Botany, University of Karachi, Karachi - 75270, Pakistan. 2MAH Qadri Biological Research Centre, University of Karachi, Karachi 75270, Pakistan. ABSTRACT Ten white grub larvae (third instar) were found in the sandy rhizospheres of Acacia nilotica ssp. nilotica seedlings irrigated with saline water of EC: 9.23 and 12.81dS.m-1 for more than two months in Biosalinity Experimental Field, department of Botany, University of Karachi. These larvae were incubated in laboratory. The soil was once sprinkled with tap water to maintain moisture level. After eight days the eight of the larvae died but two turned up into pupa which after around six to eight days gave rise to adult leaf chafer beetle. This organism on the basis of external morphology and genitalia was identified as Adoretus versutus Harold, 1869) - a serious pest on rose and several other plants. The grubs appeared to be tolerant to moderate level of salinity Key Words: White Grub, Leaf Chafer Adoretus versutus Harold, Acacia nilotica ssp. nilotica seedlings, Saline water irrigation. INTRODUCTION In the month of November, 2012, during harvest of Acacia nilotica ssp. nilotica seedlings subject to an experiment pertaining to the salinity tolerance of this plant, a number of white grubs (10 in number) were recovered from the basic (pH: 8.09) sandy loam soil of pots irrigated with saline water of EC: 9.23 and 12.81dS.m-1. -

Only the Japanese blend attracted C. medinalis males, while neither the Indian nor the Philippine blend showed attractiveness, as in the Japan mainland. However, both the Philippine and the Indian blends attracted males of a different species, C. pilosa, which is closely related to C. medinalis. Geographic variation in the sex pheromones of C. medinalis as well as the relationship between C. medinalis and C. pilosa are discussed. Key words: Rice leaffolder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis, Cnaphalocrocis pilosa, geographic variation, sex pheromone (Z)-11-octadecen-1-ol (Z11-18:OH) and (Z)-13- INTRODUCTION octadecen-1-ol (Z13-18:OH) at a ratio of 11 : 100 : The rice leaffolder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis, is 24 : 36 (Japanese blend) (Kawazu et al., 2000). -

INSECTS of MICRONESIA Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae
INSECTS OF MICRONESIA Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae By o. L. CARTWRIGHT EMERITUS ENTOMOLOGIST, DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY AND R. D. GORDON SYSTEMATIC ENTOMOLOGY LABORATORY, ENTOMOLOGY Research Division. ARS. USDA INTRODUCTION The Scarabaeidae, one of the larger and better known families of beetles has world-wide distribution. The group has penetrated in surpris ing numbers even the remote islands of the Pacific Ocean. How this has been accomplished can only be surmised but undoubtedly many have managed to accompany man in his travels, with his food and domestic animals, accidental ly hidden in whatever he carried with him or in his means of conveyance. Commerce later greatly increased such possible means. Others may have been carried by ocean currents or winds in floating debris of various kinds. Although comparatively few life cycles have been completely studied, their very diverse habits increase the chances of survival of at least some members of the group. The food habits of the adults range from the leaf feeding Melolonthinae to the coprophagous Scarabaeinae and scavenging Troginae. Most of the larvae or grubs find their food in the soil. Many species have become important as economic pests, the coconut rhinoceros beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros (Linn.) being a Micronesian example. This account of the Micronesian Scarabaeidae, as part of die Survey of Micronesian Insects, has been made possible by the support provided by the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, the Pacific Science Board, the National Science Foundation, the United States office of Naval Research and the National Academy of Sciences. The material upon which this report is based was assembled in the United States National Museum of Natural History from existing collections and survey collected specimens. -

Description of Immature Stages of the Chinese Rose Beetle, Adoretus Sinicus Burmeister (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)1
Vol. XVIII, No. 2, July, 1963 251 Description of Immature Stages of the Chinese Rose Beetle, Adoretus sinicus Burmeister (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)1 Dale H. Habeck HAWAII AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII HONOLULU, HAWAII (Submitted for publication December, 1962) INTRODUCTION The Chinese rose beetle, Adoretus sinicus Burmeister, is an important pest of many crop and ornamental plants in Hawaii and other areas. Al though several authors have published illustrations of diagnostic char acteristics of the larva, no complete description exists in the literature. This lack of information on immature stages is due, no doubt, to the fact that it is the adult alone which does the economic damage. Timberlake (1919) illustrated the raster to show how it differs from those of Popillia japonica Newman and Anomala orientalis (Waterhouse). Ritcher (1948) used this species to characterize the tribe Adoretini in his key to the tribes of the Rutelinae. He illustrated the raster, the epipharynx, and the last antennal segment. Though more than 250 species of Adoretus are listed by Ohaus (1915), the larvae of only a few species have been adequately described. Viado (1939) in the Philippines described and illustrated A. luridus Blanchard and A. ranunculus Burmeister in considerable detail. Friedrichs (1915) described and illustrated parts of A. vestitus Boheman (=A. versutus Harold) from Samoa, and Gravely (1919) briefly described and illus trated parts of A, lacustris Arrow, A. versutus Harold, and A. caliginosus Burmeister in India. This last species was also illustrated in all stages by Fletcher and Ghosh (1920). The larva of a fourth Indian species, A. bimarginatus Ohaus, was described and illustrated by Gardner (1935). -
