  • Based on Comparative Morphological Data AF Emel'yanov Transactions of T
    The phylogeny of the Cicadina (Homoptera, Cicadina) based on comparative morphological data A.F. Emel’yanov Transactions of the All-Union Entomological Society Morphological principles of insect phylogeny The phylogenetic relationships of the principal groups of cicadine* insects have been considered on more than one occasion, commencing with Osborn (1895). Some phylogenetic schemes have been based only on data relating to contemporary cicadines, i.e. predominantly on comparative morphological data (Kirkaldy, 1910; Pruthi, 1925; Spooner, 1939; Kramer, 1950; Evans, 1963; Qadri, 1967; Hamilton, 1981; Savinov, 1984a), while others have been constructed with consideration given to paleontological material (Handlirsch, 1908; Tillyard, 1919; Shcherbakov, 1984). As the most primitive group of the cicadines have been considered either the Fulgoroidea (Kirkaldy, 1910; Evans, 1963), mainly because they possess a small clypeus, or the cicadas (Osborn, 1895; Savinov, 1984), mainly because they do not jump. In some schemes even the monophyletism of the cicadines has been denied (Handlirsch, 1908; Pruthi, 1925; Spooner, 1939; Hamilton, 1981), or more precisely in these schemes the Sternorrhyncha were entirely or partially depicted between the Fulgoroidea and the other cicadines. In such schemes in which the Fulgoroidea were accepted as an independent group, among the remaining cicadines the cicadas were depicted as branching out first (Kirkaldy, 1910; Hamilton, 1981; Savinov, 1984a), while the Cercopoidea and Cicadelloidea separated out last, and in the most widely acknowledged systematic scheme of Evans (1946b**) the last two superfamilies, as the Cicadellomorpha, were contrasted to the Cicadomorpha and the Fulgoromorpha. At the present time, however, the view affirming the equivalence of the four contemporary superfamilies and the absence of a closer relationship between the Cercopoidea and Cicadelloidea (Evans, 1963; Emel’yanov, 1977) is gaining ground.

These new viruses are poorly characterized and new approaches are needed predict the host species these viruses pose a risk to. The rhabdoviruses are a diverse family of RNA viruses that includes important pathogens of humans, animals, and plants. We have discovered thirty-two new rhabdoviruses through a combination of our own RNA sequencing of insects and searching public sequence databases. Combining these with previously known sequences we reconstructed the phylogeny of 195 rhabdovirus by guest on December 14, 2015 sequences, and produced the most in depth analysis of the family to date. In most cases we know nothing about the biology of the viruses beyond the host they were identified from, but our dataset provides a powerful phylogenetic approach to predict which are vector-borne viruses and which are specific to vertebrates or arthropods.

Schmitz1 and Vera L. S. Valente2 1 Universidade Federal da Integração-Latino-Americana, Foz do Iguaçu, PR, Brazil; [email protected] 2 Programa de Pós-Graduação em Genética e Biologia Molecular, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil; [email protected] Abstract Diptera is a megadiverse order, reaching its peak of diversity in Neotropics, although our knowledge of dipteran fauna of this region is grossly deficient. This applies even for the most studied families, as Drosophilidae. Despite its position of evidence, most aspects of the biology of these insects are still poorly understood, especially those linked to natural communities. Field studies on drosophilids are highly biased to fruit-breeders species. Flower-breeding drosophilids, however, are worldwide distributed, especially in tropical regions, although being mostly neglected. The present paper shows results of a biodiversity inventory of flower-breeding drosophilids carried out in Brazil, based on samples of 125 plant species, from 47 families. Drosophilids were found in flowers of 56 plant species, of 18 families. The fauna discovered showed to be highly unknown, comprising 28 species, 12 of them (>40%) still undescribed.

  • Hemiptera: Cercopoidea: Clastopteridae) Vinton Thompson1
    Cicadina 12: 81-87 (2011) 81 Notes on the Biology of Clastoptera distincta Doering, the Dwarf Mistletoe Spittlebug (Hemiptera: Cercopoidea: Clastopteridae) Vinton Thompson1 Abstract: Nymphs of the spittlebug Clastoptera distincta Doering (Hemiptera: Cercopoidea: Clastopteridae) are xylem sap hyperparasites of the mistletoe Arceuthobium vaginatum subsp. cryptopodum, a parasite of Pinus ponderosa in the southwestern United States. C. distincta adults, which live directly on P. ponderosa, are polymorphic for three distinct color forms. Mistletoe feeding in the nymphal stage may be an adaptation to the regional monsoon climate, permitting the spittlebugs to take advantage of high mistletoe transpiration and xylem flow rates during the early summer dry season, when transpiration in the host trees is curtailed. Zusammenfassung: Larven der Schaumzikade Clastoptera distincta Doering (Hemiptera: Cercopoidea: Clastopteridae) sind Xylemsaft-Hyperparasiten an der Mistelart Arceuthobium vaginatum subsp. cryptopodum, einem Parasiten an Pinus ponderosa im Südwesten der Vereinigten Staaten. Die Adulten von C. distincta, die direct an P. ponderosa leben, sind polymorph bzgl. drei verschiedener Farbformen. Das Saugen an Misteln im Larvalstadium könnte eine Anpassung an das regionale Monsunklima sein, das es den Schaum- zikaden ermöglicht, von der hohen Transpirationrate und Xylemsaftflüssen während der Trockenphase im Frühsommer zu profitieren, wenn die Transpiration in der eigentlichen Nahrungspflanze eingeschränkt ist.

  • Arthropods As Vector of Plant Pathogens Viz-A-Viz Their Management
    Int.J.Curr.Microbiol.App.Sci (2018) 7(8): 4006-4023 International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 7 Number 08 (2018) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com Review Article https://doi.org/10.20546/ijcmas.2018.708.415 Arthropods as Vector of Plant Pathogens viz-a-viz their Management Ravinder Singh Chandi, Sanjeev Kumar Kataria* and Jaswinder Kaur Department of Entomology, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana-141 004, Punjab, India *Corresponding author ABSTRACT An insect which acquires the disease causing organism by feeding on the diseased plant or by contact and transmit them to healthy plants are known as insect vectors of plant diseases. Most of the insect vectors belong to the order Hemiptera, Thysonaptera, Coleoptera, Orthoptera and Dermaptera. Homopteran insects alone are known to transmit K e yw or ds about 90 per cent of the plant diseases. About 94 per cent of animals known to transmit plant viruses are arthropods. On the basis of the method of transmission and persistence in Insect vectors, Plant pathogens, the vector, viruses may be classified into three categories viz. non-persistent, semi persistent and persistent viruses. Irrespective of the type of transmission, virus-vector Management relationship is highly specific and spread of vector borne diseases also depends upon Article Info potential of vector to spread the disease. Also for transmission of virus, activity of insect vectors is more important rather than their number. There is a high degree of specificity of Accepted: 22 July 2018 phytoplasma to insects and interaction between these two is complex and variable.
