Four species are omitted as they need to be described in the context of a revision (three Cheilosia and a Palpada species) and three other species (one Neoascia and two Xylota) will be described by F. Christian Thompson in a planned publication. Six of the new species have been recognised for decades and were treated by J. Richard Vockeroth in unpublished notes or by Thompson in his unpublished but widely distributed "A conspectus of the flower flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) of the Nearctic Region". Five of the 11 species were discovered during the preparation of the Field Guide. Eight of the 11 have DNA barcodes available that support the morphology. New information New species treated in this paper include: Anasimyia diffusa Locke, Skevington and Vockeroth (Smooth-legged Swamp Fly), Anasimyia matutina Locke, Skevington and This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the CC0 Public Domain Dedication.

    Abstract Alliaria Petiolata (Garlic

    ABSTRACT ALLIARIA PETIOLATA (GARLIC MUSTARD) RESPONSE TO HERBICIDE AND JUNE PRECIPITATION, AND SUBSEQUENT EFFECTS ON THE FOREST FLOOR COMMUNITY by Wendy Wenger Hochstedler The impact of invasive plant species on native plants is largely assumed to be negative, but supporting evidence is sparse. We examined the long-term effects of herbicide on Alliaria petiolata and the subsequent effects on the plant community in southwestern Ohio. November herbicide application effectively killed A. petiolata, but did not reduce recruitment; spring densities of A. petiolata rosettes were not lower in sprayed plots. Only modest differences were noted in forest floor vegetation, suggesting A. petiolata rosettes competed with other plant species. We tested the hypothesis that higher June precipitation promotes rosette growth and survival with a rain shelter experiment. The three different water treatments affected soil moisture, but not A. petiolata growth or survival. Dry treatments may not have replicated drought years based on water availability measurements. June precipitation is probably not a reliable predictor of A. petiolata rosette survival in years with above average precipitation.

    Dipterists Forum Hoverfly Newsletter Number 67 Spring 2020 ISSN 1358-5029 . On 21 January 2020 I shall be attending a lecture at the University of Gloucester by Adam Hart entitled “The Insect Apocalypse” the subject of which will of course be one that matters to all of us. Spreading awareness of the jeopardy that insects are now facing can only be a good thing, as is the excellent number of articles that, despite this situation, readers have submitted for inclusion in this newsletter. The editorial of Hoverfly Newsletter No. 66 covered two subjects that are followed up in the current issue. One of these was the diminishing UK participation in the international Syrphidae symposia in recent years, but I am pleased to say that Jon Heal, who attended the most recent one, has addressed this matter below. Also the publication of two new illustrated hoverfly guides, from the Netherlands and Canada, were announced. Both are reviewed by Roger Morris in this newsletter. The Dutch book has already proved its value in my local area, by providing the confirmation that we now have Xanthogramma stackelbergi in Gloucestershire (taken at Pope’s Hill in June by John Phillips). Copy for Hoverfly Newsletter No. 68 (which is expected to be issued with the Autumn 2020 Dipterists Forum Bulletin) should be sent to me: David Iliff, Green Willows, Station Road, Woodmancote, Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 9HN, (telephone 01242 674398), email:[email protected], to reach me by 20 June 2020.

    © Münchner Ent. Ges., Download from The BHL http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/; www.biologiezentrum.at91 Zur Phänologie von Bockkäfern eines inneralpinen, xerothermen Standortes (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Von Wolfgang Schedli) (Institut für Zoologie der Universität Innsbruck, Vorstand: Univ. -Prof. Dr. H. Janetschek) Als Untersuchungsgebiet wählte Verfasser einen Standort west- lich von Innsbruck im Gemeindegebiet von Zirl (Tirol, Österreich) am Fuße der bekannten Martinswand am westlichen Hechen- bergsüdabfall zwischen Martinsbühel und Pilgerschrofen. Dort er- streckt sich ein S-exponierter Hang vom Flußbett des Inns von ca. 580 m bis unterhalb der Gallerie der Eisenbahnlinie Innsbruck-See- feld in ca. 820 m (Abb. 1-)). Geologisch liegt das Untersuchungsgebiet ganz im Bereich des triadischen Wettersteinkalkes und schmaler Ein- schaltungen von weichen Partnachschichten. Nur stellenweise hat sich auf Hangschutt eine dünne Bodendecke bilden können. Meteorologi- sche Daten können nur aus einigen umliegenden Stationen wie Hoch- zirl, Völs oder Innsbruck-Flughafen entnommen werden (siehe F 1 i r i, 1975). Schon Handel-Mazetti (1939) rechnet das Ge- biet des Hechenberges zur Oberinntaler Trockenzone. Die durch- schnittliche Jahresniederschlagsmenge (1931-60) dürfte im Untersu- chungsgebiet bei 700 mm liegen mit Schwerpunkt des Niederschlages im Sommer, die durchschnittliche Jahrestemperatur des Untersu- chungsgebietes ist schwieriger anzugeben, die durchschnittliche Son- denscheindauer in "/o der lokal horizontbedingt möglichen dürfte im Jahr etwas über 50 ^/o betragen. Die Vegetation besteht im Bereich des Innufers aus einem wenige Meter breiten Alnus incana-Augürtel mit eingestreuten Populus nig- ra, P. tremula und Salix sp. Bäumen, ansteigend kleine anthropogen beeinflußte Steilwiesen mit Carduus und Cirsium-Arten bis zur Bun- desstraße und im steilen Hang mit kleinen Felswänden und schottri- gen Bachbetten Trockenwiesen mit Stipa sp., Glohularia cordijolia, Dorycnium germanicum etc.

    Flea Beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Associated with Purple Loosestrife, Lythrum Salicaria, in Russia

    Flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) associated with purple loosestrife, Lythrum salicaria, in Russia Margarita Yu. Dolgovskaya,1 Alexander S. Konstantinov,2 Sergey Ya. Reznik,1 Neal R. Spencer3 and Mark G. Volkovitsh1 Summary Purple loosestrife, Lythrum salicaria L., has become one of the more troublesome wetland exotic inva- sive weeds in Canada and the United States from initial introductions some 200 years ago. In the US, purple loosestrife has spread to most of the contiguous 48 states (no records from Florida) with the highest density in the north-east. L. salicaria is now recorded in all Canadian provinces with the excep- tion of Yukon and the North-West Territories. A biological control effort begun in the 1970s resulted in the introduction in the 1990s of four insect species: a root-boring and a flower-feeding weevil, and two leaf beetle species (both adults and larvae are leaf feeders). As long-term impact assessments of these introductions are conducted, additional research is looking at other potential biological control agents, particularly insect species attacking both leaves and roots of the target plant. Thus, flea beetles with root-feeding larvae and leaf-feeding adults may be of value. Purple loosestrife is widespread in Russia in wet meadows, riverbanks and other moist habitats from the Baltic region to eastern Russia. Literature searches, studies of museum collections and ecological observations in the field and the laboratory suggest that a number of flea beetle species feed on L. salicaria, of which the oligophagous Aphthona lutescens with a flexible life cycle and two-fold impact on the host (larvae are root-borers and adults are leaf feeders) appears to be a particularly promising biocontrol agent.
  • Exotic Invasive of the Quarter: Garlic Mustard (Alliaria Petiolata)

    Exotic Invasive of the Quarter: Garlic Mustard (Alliaria Petiolata)

    You Ain’t From around Here! Exotic Invasive of the Quarter: Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata) By: Jennifer Gagnon, Virginia Tech The other day I was in the garden, looking at my 5‐foot‐tall horseradish plant, wondering when I should don goggles and rubber gloves and attempt a root harvest (I’m a little intimidated by the whole thing!). Horseradish is an invasive plant, so I always check carefully to make sure it hasn’t spread outside the garden. Which got me to thinking about other edible invasives, namely garlic mustard, an exotic invasive so prolific, I can’t believe I’ve gone 7 years without writing about it. This bugger is everywhere! In fact, in many woodland and floodplain environments in the Northeastern US, it is the dominant understory species. Garlic mustard, which is indeed in the mustard family (along with cabbage and broccoli), has a lot of nicknames, such as garlic root, hedge garlic, Jack‐in‐the‐bush, penny hedge, poor man's mustard, and my personal favorite, sauce‐alone. This plant, native to Europe, western and central Asia, NW Africa, Scandinavia, and India, was first found in the US on Long Island, NY in 1868. Garlic mustard has been considered widespread and invasive since 2000 and is listed as noxious or restricted in AL, CT, MA, MN, NH, OR, VT, WV, and WA. Like many of our invasive plants, garlic mustard was brought to the US intentionally – for culinary or medicinal purposes. The first‐year leaves, flowers, and fruits have a mild garlic flavor and can be chopped up and used in salads and sauces (hence the nickname sauce‐ alone?).

Despite great progress in studies on Wolbachia infection in insects, the knowledge about its relations with beetle species, populations and individuals, and the effects of bacteria on these hosts is still unsatisfactory. In this review we summarize the current state of knowledge about Wolbachia occurrence and interactions with Coleopteran hosts. Methods. An intensive search of the available literature resulted in the selection of 81 publications that describe the relevant details about Wolbachia presence among beetles. These publications were then examined with respect to the distribution and taxonomy of infected hosts and diversity of Wolbachia found in beetles. Sequences of Wolbachia genes (16S rDNA, wsp and ftsZ) were used for the phylogenetic analyses. Results. The collected publications revealed that Wolbachia has been confirmed in 197 beetle species and that the estimated average prevalence of this bacteria across beetle species is 38.3% and varies greatly across families and genera (0-88% infected members) and is much lower (c.

Destacan especialmente las citas de Aphthona sandrae Baselga y Novoa, 2002 que fue descrita del Parque Natural, así como Chrysobyrrhulus asturiensis Allemand, 1997, Grynobius planus (Fabricius, 1787), Phyllotreta exclamationis (Thunberg, 1784) y Longitarsus fulgens (Foudras, 1860) por ampliar significativamente su distribución. Debido al carácter atlántico del clima y la vegetación, los elementos septentrionales (25,1%) suponen una proporción mucho mayor que los mediterráneos (7,8%). Los endemismos ibéricos son bastan- te abundantes (14,8%) y aparecen numerosas especies típicas de áreas montañosas, datos que indican un alto grado de conservación de esta zona de baja altitud. Palabras clave: Coleoptera, Fragas del Eume, Galicia, Península Ibérica, faunística, biogeografía. ABSTRACT
