WILSON* Fachbereich Biologie der Philipps Universitat, Marburg, West Germany, and *CAB International Institute of Entomology, c/o Department of Entomology, British Museum (Natural History), London, U.K. ABSTRACT. The delphacid planthopper genus Sogatella Fennah is rede- fined and a key provided to males of the fourteen included species. The type-species of Sogatodes Fennah, S.molinus Fennah is considered to be a Sogatella species and consequently Sogatodes becomes a junior subjective synonym of Sogarella. The remaining species of Sogatodes are transferred to Tagosodes gen.n. (type species T.cubanus (Crawford) comb.n.), Latis- tria Huang et al. or Sogatellana Kuoh. A key is provided to distinguish the four genera. A check list of species in each genus is given. Several species are important rice pests and information on biology and pest status is sum- marized.

  • Consequences of Linguistic Uncertainty for Insect Management
    WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE Consequences of Linguistic Uncertainty for Insect Management THERESA M. CIRA, KATHY QUICK, AND ROBERT C. VENETTE JA'CRISPY/ISTOCK 258 AMERICAN ENTOMOLOGIST | WINTER 2019 his is a call to entomologists to consider the un- certainty introduced into our works through the language we use. Albert Einstein remarked, “Every- thing depends on the degree to which words and word-combinations correspond to the world of im- Tpression,” which makes language a “dangerous source of error and deception” (Hawking 2007). Scientists usually research and deliberately choose the language they use to propose new concepts or terminology. Often, however, terms slip into the lexicon through less systematic means. Words may seem to have meanings so obvious that broad understanding of the term may be taken for granted, but individual contexts are diverse, and to assume that a word’s meaning is unchanging across time and space is to overlook the uncertainties of lan- guage. Thus, communication through even the most common entomological vocabulary can fail. Language is a mutable, un- certain, and imperfect way of representing the world. Because language is integral to science and yet inherently imprecise, it is important for scientists to recognize and address uncertain- ty in the language of our works. Uncertainty, as defined by the Society a phenomenon is repeatedly observed and for Risk Analysis (2015), is “not knowing the individuals agree that measurements con- true value of a quantity or the future con- verge, to some degree, on a specific point, sequences of an activity,” or “imperfect or more certainty about the true nature of the incomplete information/knowledge about phenomenon can be asserted.

Subject Editor: Phyllis Weintraub J. Insect Sci. (2015) 15(1): 148; DOI: 10.1093/jisesa/iev131 ABSTRACT. Sogatella furcifera (Horva´th) is the most threatening migratory rice pest in Yunnan, China. S. furcifera overwinters in low- altitude basins and valleys in southern Yunnan and migrates northward in spring and summer of the following year, causing serious damage during migration. The overwintering distribution, areas, and spatial pattern of S. furcifera are relevant to the migration and outbreak of this pest. Based on a 4-yr field survey (2010–2013), this study projected areas suitable for S. furcifera to overwinter using a species distribution model, and analyzed the key influencing climatic factors using principal component analysis (PCA) and ecological niche factor analysis (ENFA). Our field survey showed that the northern latitudinal- and upper elevation limits of overwintering S. furci- fera was 25.4 N and 1,608 m in western Yunnan and 24.2 N and 1,563 m in eastern Yunnan.

  • Notes on Immigrant Delphacid Planthoppers in Hawaii (Homoptera: Fulgoroidea)1
    Vol. 30, December 31,1990 121 Notes on Immigrant Delphacid Planthoppers in Hawaii (Homoptera: Fulgoroidea)1 JOHN W. BEARDSLEY2 ABSTRACT Immigrant delphacid planthoppers which have become established in Hawaii since 1960 are discussed, and a revised key to Hawaiian Delphacini (sensu Zimmerman 1948) is presented. The endemic delphacid fauna of Hawaii contains around 140 described species (Zimmerman 1948). The small non-endemic (immigrant) fauna known from the islands at the time of Zimmerman's treatment included three pests of major economic importance: the sugarcane planthopper (Perkinsiella saccharicida Kirkaldy), the corn planthopper (Peregrinus maidis (Ashmead)), and the taro planthopper (Tarophagusproserpina (Kirkaldy)). The correct name for the latter now appears to be T. colocasiae (Matsumura) (Asche and Wilson 1989). One other species, listed by Zimmerman as Megamelus angulatus Osborn (=M. davisiVan Duzee, Beamer 1955), also is an obvious introduction. Additionally, Zimmerman listed Liburnia paludum (Kirkaldy) (now placed in Opiconsiva Distant) as an immigrant species. This now seems questionable in view of Fennah's (1971) statement that paludum, so far as is known, is restricted to Hawaii. Since 1960 four additional delphacid species have become established in Hawaii. The present paper summarizes information which is available on these recently established immigrants. Muir (1916), followed by Zimmerman (1948), placed the majority of the endemic Hawaiian Delphacidae in the Tribe Alohini, based primarily on the structure of the large hind tibial spur (calcar). Species in this group feed mainly on dicotyledonous hosts, but also, to a limited extent, on ferns and some monocots other than grasses. See Zimmerman (1948) for list of host genera of Hawaiian delphacids.

URBAN1, CHARLES R. BARTLETT2 and J A S O N R . CRYAN1 1Research and Collections, Laboratory for Conservation and Evolutionary Genetics, New York State Museum, Albany, NY, U.S.A. and 2Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, U.S.A. Abstract. The planthopper family Delphacidae is a speciose lineage of phloem- feeding insects, with many species considered as pests of economic significance on essential world food commodities (including rice, maize, wheat, barley and sugar cane). Despite their economic importance, evolutionary relationships among delphacids, particularly those within the speciose tribe Delphacini, are largely unknown. Presented here are the results of a phylogenetic investigation of Delphacidae based on DNA nucleotide sequence data from four genetic loci (18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, wingless and cytochrome oxidase I ) and 132 coded morphological characters. The resulting topologies are used to test the higher classification of Delphacidae and to examine evolutionary patterns in host–plant associations. Our results generally support the higher classifications of Delphacidae proposed by Asche, Emeljanov and Hamilton, and suggest that the rapid diversification of the Delphacini was associated with host shifts to, and within, Poaceae, and specifically from C3 to C4 grasses. Introduction infestations in 2009 reportedly occurring in Bangladesh, China, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam (Heong, 2009). The insect family Delphacidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea), Within Delphacidae, 85 species are recognized as economically including approximately 2100 described species, is the most significant pests, incurring damage to approximately 25 plant speciose and economically important of the ∼20 planthopper crops (Wilson & O’Brien, 1987; Wilson, 2005).

    Genomic Insights into the Glutathione S-Transferase Gene Family of Two Rice Planthoppers, Nilaparvata lugens (Sta˚l) and Sogatella furcifera (Horva´th) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) Wen-Wu Zhou1, Qing-Mei Liang1,YiXu2, Geoff M. Gurr1,3, Yan-Yuan Bao1, Xue-Ping Zhou2, Chuan- Xi Zhang1, Jiaan Cheng1, Zeng-Rong Zhu1* 1 State Key Laboratory of Rice Biology, Key Laboratory of Agricultural Entomology, Ministry of Agriculture; and Institute of Insect Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, People’s Republic of China, 2 Institute of Biotechnology, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, People’s Republic of China, 3 EH Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation, Charles Sturt University, Orange, New South Wales, Australia Abstract Background: Glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes control crucial traits for the metabolism of various toxins encountered by insects in host plants and the wider environment, including insecticides. The planthoppers Nilaparvata lugens and Sogatella furcifera are serious specialist pests of rice throughout eastern Asia. Their capacity to rapidly adapt to resistant rice varieties and to develop resistance to various insecticides has led to severe outbreaks over the last decade. Methodology/Principal Findings: Using the genome sequence of N. lugens, we identified for the first time the complete GST gene family of a delphacid insect whilst nine GST gene orthologs were identified from the closely related species S. furcifera. Nilaparvata lugens has 11 GST genes belonging to six cytosolic subclasses and a microsomal class, many fewer than seen in other insects with known genomes. Sigma is the largest GST subclass, and the intron–exon pattern deviates significantly from that of other species. Higher GST gene expression in the N.

La falsa chicharrita del arroz, Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) es una plaga migratoria y grave para los cultivos de arroz en todo el mundo, incluso Pakistán. El presente experimento se llevó a cabo para evaluar el nivel de antixenosis y antibiosis de quince genotipos de arroz contra S. furcifera en condiciones de invernadero. En los ensayos de antixenosis, la proporción de ninfas y adultos asentados se registró en relación con el grupo control. Las variedades menos preferidas por las ninfas fueron RPP49 (3.80), N22 (5.60), IR 64 (6.20), IR 72 (6.60), Basmati Pak (6129) (5.40) y Super Basmati (5.00) en comparación con TN1 (12.00).

The mitochondrial genome of Saccharosydne procerus (Matsumura) is the fi rst sequenced in the tribe Saccharosydnini (Hemiptera: Delphacidae: Delphacinae). In addition, the mitogenome sequence of Sogatella vibix (Haupt) (in Delphacini) is also sequenced. The Sa. procerus mitochondrial genome is 16,031 bp (GenBank accession no. MG515237) in length, and So. vibix is 16,554 bp (GenBank accession no. MG515238). The existence of purifying selection was indicated by the rate of nonsynonymous and synonymous substitutions. Three species of Delphacini, Laodelphax striatellus (Fallén), Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) and Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), are important pests of rice. The phylogeny of these three rice planthoppers based on the mitochondrial genome sequence was (L. striatellus + (So. vibix + So. furcifera)) + (N. muiri + N. lugens). INTRODUCTION play a role in the initiation of transcription and replication, The planthopper subfamily Delphacinae is the most spe- and is a source of length variation in the genome (Boore, ciose and economically important group in the family Del- 1999). In addition, mitogenome sequences are increasingly phacidae.
