Collected in /Sgo-i&pj, Including Injurious, Beneficial and other In- sects Taken on or in Sonic Part of the Tree Examined. .By A. D. Hopkins. INTRODUCTORY*. The depredations by insects on certain forest and shade trees of West Virginia during the past three years have been such as to de- mand special investigation, with a view of finding the species re- sponsible for the primary cause of the premature death of trees; also to discover, il possible, methods of repelling or destroying them. Insects injurious and beneficial to the Yellow Locust, the Black Spruce and the Pines have claimed the greater share of my at- tention, yet at the same time, such insects as were found on or in other kinds of trees and shrubs were collected and their habits, so far as observed, noted. These investigations have not, as yet, been sufficiently com- pleted to justify a detailed report of the work and results; therefore this catalogue is sent out in advance of more popular bulletins on the subject to be issued at the end of another season's work. This catalogue and the one preceding it on West Virginia Scolytida> are issued in this iorm, and in small editions not for gen- eral distribution, but for those who may be interested in such re- cords of original observation, on the habits and life histories of forest, shade and fruit tree insects The species herein mentioned have been collected or bred by me during the past three yeais, and the reference to habits, dates, etc., are from my notes and records It is my intention to continue the study of the life histories of forest tree insects, and to publish from time t<> time supplements to these catalogues containing licts of additional species found, to- gether with necessary corrections and revisions. *3ee also introductory to Catalogue of W. Va., Scoljtidap Bulletin 31, 1893. 172 My time being devoted almost exclusively to the study of insects from an economic standpoint, I have little time for system- atic study, except on the family Scolytidse; therefore I shall, as heretofore, depend largely upon the authoritative specialists for de- terminations ot species. I desire, in this connection, to acknowledge the kindness of the following named persons who have made first determinations for me of species in orders and families in which they are specialists: Dr. C. V. Riley, Mr. L. 0. Howard, Mr. William Ashmead, Mr. E A. Schwarz, of the Division of Entomology at Washington; Dr. G. H. Horn, of Philadelphia, Dr. W. J. Holland, of Pittsburg; Mr. W. H. Edwards, of Coalburg, W Va. ; Prof C. H. Tyler Town&end, of Los Cruces, N. M. ; and Oberforester W. Eichhoff, of Strassburg, Ger- many. Exhibit Collections. Two exhibit collections have been prepared during the past winter One for the exhibit by the Association of Agricultural Col- leges and Experiment Stations in the Agricultural Building; the other for the West Virginia Exhibit in the Forestry Building at the World's Columbian Exposition. The former consists of West Vir- ginia Scolytidse and some of their enemies, and contains 299 insects and 284 wood and bark specimens, showing character of damage to wood and bark of forest, shade, fruit trees, etc. The latter consists of West Virginia forest and shade tree insects and examples of their work in wood and bark, including 240 insects and 250 other speci- mens. The species numbered in heavy type in this catalogue are represented in this collection. These exhibits, aside from indicating the character of work in Entomology carried on by the West Virginia Experiment Station are designed to call the attention of owners of timber and others, who are interested in the preservation of our forests, to the im- portance of earnest and careful investigations, with a view of becom- ing better acquainted with the habits and life histories of the insects which cause such great damage and loss.

For Sale by the U.S. Government Printing Office ii Superintendent of Documents, Mail Stop, SSOP. Washington, DC 20402-9328 ISBN O-1 6-042075-X Foreword on-indigenous species (NIS)-----those species found beyond their natural ranges—are part and parcel of the U.S. landscape. Many are highly beneficial. Almost all U.S. crops and domesticated animals, many sport fish and aquiculture species, numerous horticultural plants, and most biologicalN control organisms have origins outside the country. A large number of NIS, however, cause significant economic, environmental, and health damage. These harmful species are the focus of this study. The total number of harmful NIS and their cumulative impacts are creating a growing burden for the country. We cannot completely stop the tide of new harmful introductions. Perfect screening, detection, and control are technically impossible and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, the Federal and State policies designed to protect us from the worst species are not safeguarding our national interests in important areas. These conclusions have a number of policy implications. First, the Nation has no real national policy on harmful introductions; the current system is piecemeal, lacking adequate rigor and comprehensiveness. Second, many Federal and State statutes, regulations, and programs are not keeping pace with new and spreading non-indigenous pests.

  • The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution
    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

  • Observations of Cerceris Fumipennis (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) Phenology and Variation in Its Buprestid Prey in Louisiana C
    Observations of Cerceris fumipennis (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) phenology and variation in its buprestid prey in Louisiana C. Wood Johnson1,*, Ted C. MacRae2, Cavell Brownie3, Warren Virgets III4, and Jeremy D. Allison5 Abstract The non-native emerald ash borer,Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), threatens extirpation of susceptible ash (Fraxinus species; Lamiales: Oleaceae) in North America. Cerceris fumipennis Say (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae), a ground-nesting wasp that preys on Buprestidae in eastern North America, is used as a survey tool for the emerald ash borer in the northeastern U.S. and Canada. The recent detection of the emerald ash borer in Louisiana provides an opportunity to complement trapping surveys with the use of C. fumipennis, but knowledge of C. fumipennis in the region is lacking. From 2011 to 2014, we conducted searches at 155 sites and located C. fumipennis aggregations at 25% (n = 39) of these sites; 36% (n = 14) of these were located at forest harvests, an aggregation habitat not previously reported in the literature. We collected 1,559 buprestids representing 35 species from 2 aggregations in Louisiana between May and Aug 2012. Buprestid collections at these aggregations and observations of C. fumipennis activity at a 3rd aggregation indicated the number of buprestid species and individuals collected declined significantly from May to Jul. We collected significantly moreAgrilus difficilis Gory (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in the afternoon than morning hours and observed similar diurnal patterns among other buprestid species during the early weeks following aggregation activation. We also discuss evidence suggesting a portion of the regional C. fumipennis population is bivoltine. AlthoughA. planipennis was not collected during this study, our results suggest that C.
