A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

  • Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Washington and Oregon Apple Orchards
    HORTICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY Phenology of Lacanobia subjuncta (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Washington and Oregon Apple Orchards MICHAEL D. DOERR, JAY F. BRUNNER, AND VINCENT P. JONES Washington State University Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center, 1100 N. Western Avenue, Wenatchee, WA 98801 J. Econ. Entomol. 98(6): 2100Ð2106 (2005) ABSTRACT The phenology of Lacanobia subjuncta (Grote & Robinson) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was investigated in 30 apple orchards in central Washington state and northeastern Oregon from 1998 to 2001 (57 total orchard-yr). Adult captures in pheromone-baited traps were Þt to a Weibull distribution to model emergence of the Þrst and second generations. Initial capture of Þrst generation adults was observed at 216.2 Ϯ 2.6 degree-days (DD) (mean Ϯ SEM) from 1 March by using a base temperature of 6.7ЊC. The model predicted that ßight was 5 and 95% complete by 240 and 700 degree-days (DD), respectively. Monitoring of oviposition and hatch was used to establish a protandry plus preoviposition degree-day requirement of 160.0 Ϯ 7.7 DD, as well as to provide data to describe the entire hatch period. Egg hatch was 5 and 95% complete by 395 and 630 DD, respectively. The start of the second ßight was observed at 1217.1 Ϯ 8.3 DD by using an upper threshold for development of 32ЊC and a horizontal cutoff. The model indicated that the second ßight was 5 and 95% complete by 1220 and 1690 DD, respectively. Second generation hatch was 5 and 95% complete by 1440 and 1740 DD, respectively. A discussion of the potential uses of these detailed phenology data in optimizing management strategies is presented.

  • Diapause and Quiescence As Two Main Kinds of Dormancy and Their Significance in Life Cycles of Mites and Ticks (Chelicerata: Arachnida: Acari)
    Acarina 17 (1): 3–32 © Acarina 2009 DIAPAUSE AND QUIESCENCE AS TWO MAIN KINDS OF DORMANCY AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE IN LIFE CYCLES OF MITES AND TICKS (CHELICERATA: ARACHNIDA: ACARI). PART 2. PARASITIFORMES V. N. Belozerov Biological Research Institute, St. Petersburg State University, Peterhof 198504, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Concerning the problem of life history and such an important its aspect as seasonality of life cycles and their control enabled by dormant stages, the parasitiform mites reveal the obvious similarity with the acariform mites. This concerns the pres- ence of both main kinds of dormancy (diapause and quiescence). The great importance in the seasonal control of life cycles in some parasitiform mites, like in acariform mites, belongs also for combinations of diapause with non-diapause arrests, particularly with the post-diapause quiescence (PDQ). This type of quiescence evoked after termination of diapause and enabling more accu- rate time-adjustment in recommencement of active development, is characteristic of both lineages of the Parasitiformes — Ixodida and Mesostigmata (particularly Gamasida). The available data show that in ixodid ticks the PDQ may be resulted similarly after developmental and behavioral diapause. Reproductive diapause combined with the PDQ is characteristic of some gamasid mites (particularly the family Phytoseiidae), while most gamasid and uropodid mites with phoretic dispersal reveal the dormant state (apparently of diapause nature) at the deutonymphal stage. The uncertainty between diapause and non-diapause dormancy is retained in some many cases (even in ixodid ticks and phytoseiid mites), and the necessity of further thorough study of different forms of diapause and non-diapause arrests in representatives of the Acari is noted therefore.

In Europe, it is an indige- nous species, commonly found on various plants, including conifers. The present study examined whether A. andersoni can develop and reproduce while feeding on two key pests of ornamental coniferous plants, i.e., Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi) and Pentamerismus taxi (Haller). Pinus sylvestris L. pollen was also tested as an alternative food source for the predator. Both prey species and pine pollen were suitable food sources for A. andersoni. Although higher values of population parameters Citation: Puchalska, E.; were observed when the predator fed on mites compared to the pollen alternative, we conclude that Zagrodzki, S.K.; Kozak, M.; pine pollen may provide adequate sustenance for A.

INTRODUCTION The fauna of noctuoid moths (the families Erebidae and Noctuidae) of Kazakhstan is still poorly studied. Only the fauna of West Kazakhstan has been studied satisfactorily (Gorbunov 2011). On the faunas of other parts of the country, only fragmentary data are published (Lederer, 1853; 1855; Aibasov & Zhdanko 1982; Hacker & Peks 1990; Lehmann et al. 1998; Benedek & Bálint 2009; 2013; Korb 2013). In contrast to the West Kazakhstan, the fauna of noctuid moths of East Kazakhstan was studied inadequately.

CHILDERS Texas AgriLife Extension and Texas A&M University, 2401 East Highway 83, Weslaco, TX, 78596; E-mail: [email protected] 2 University Of Florida, Citrus Research and Education Center, 700 Experiment Station Rd., Lake Alfred, FL 33850. * In: Moraes, G.J. de & Proctor, H. (eds) Acarology XIII: Proceedings of the International Congress. Zoosymposia, 6, 1–304. Abstract Damages caused by pests to leaves can indirectly affect populations of other associated arthropods. The relative abun - dance of mites was compared across young healthy leaves, mature healthy leaves and mature leaves damaged by the citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, on grapefruit in Florida and Texas. The spider mite Eotetranychus sex - maculatus (Riley) (Tetranychidae) was significantly more abundant on mined leaves in Florida, whereas in Texas tetranychids were found sporadically. Predaceous phytoseiid mites (Phytoseiidae) were significantly more abundant on mature mined leaves than on mature leaves without mines. Iphiseiodes quadripilis (Banks) (n= 139), Typhlodromalus peregrinus (Muma) (n= 122) and Euseius mesembrinus (Dean) (n= 18) were the most abundant phy - toseiids in Florida; E. mesembrinus was the dominant species in Texas [>90% of identified specimens (n=13)]. Although relatively high numbers of predaceous stigmaeid mites (Stigmaeidae) were found in some occasions in Florida, they had a patchy distribution, resulting in no significant differences between mined and unmined leaf types in most sampling dates.

    NEW YORK'S FOOD AND LIFE SCIENCES BULLETIN NO. 50, OCTOBER 1974 NEW YORK STATE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION, GENEVA, A DIVISION OF THE NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND LIFE SCIENCES, A STATUTORY COLLEGE OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY, CORNELL UNIVERSITY, ITHACA Green Fruitworms P. J. Chapman and S. E. Lienk INTRODUCTION Young apple and pear fruits may be fed upon by several species of relatively large, stout-bodied green caterpillars (Fig. 1). Their dominant green color is relieved by dots, dashes, lines, and stripes of white, cream, or yellow. For more than a century now, these native insects have been known to commercial and amateur fruit growers as "green fruitworms" (6, 10, 17, 21, 22). Ten species of green fruitworms occur in New York. Tax- onomically, these constitute an artificial assemblage for while all are members of the same family (Noctuidae), four genera are represented in the group. However, six are members of the genus Lithophane. J ustif ication for treating these species as a unit rests on the fact that they form a quite distinctive pest complex. Thus, in the larval or cater- pillar stage, they are of very similar appearance and habits, feed at the same season, cause the same kind of feeding injury, and produce single generations annually. So, while the primary reason for treating these insects collectively has an economic basis, we expect the informa- tion given here will prove useful both to those having a Figure 2. —Young apple fruits showing green fruitworm technical interest in these species as well as to those hav- feeding injury.
