ABSTRACT Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller) is a cosmopolitan pest that affects many crops worldwide. The present study was performed to refine our knowledge about density and damage of this pest on Navel oranges in northern Tunisia and to evaluate the effectiveness of four alternative methods including, cultural control, mass trapping, Trichogramma cacoeciae (Marchal) releases and mating disruption. Results showed that E. ceratoniae populations increased from April to November. All trials were effective in decreasing E. ceratoniae populations on citrus fruits. The most effective management was mating disruption combined with T. cacoeciae release (30,000 Trichogramms/ha), with a reduction rate of E. ceratoniae of 62.8% after treatment. Mass trapping using delta traps combined with Trichogramma releases (25,000 T/ha) may be a promising alternative for limiting E. ceratoniae populations. It has also been shown that a density of 10 delta traps/ha can reduce the infestation rate of E. ceratoniae. Furthermore, control by successive T. cacoeciae releases at a density of 20,000 T/ha shows its effectiveness. Our results for improving management of E. ceratoniae in citrus orchards are highlighted and discussed herein.

ABSTRACT Southern India is unique by many endemic species of flora and fauna especially in the Western Ghats, a global biodiversity hotspot. Neotermes Holmgren is widely distributed genus of the family Kalotermitidae. A new species of kalotermitid termite, Neotermes viraktamathi sp. nov. is here described from Karnataka part of Western Ghats. The species was collected from a dead branch of a live tree. Additionally, for the first time, 16S rRNA sequence of an Indian Neotermes is provided. A note on variation observed in morphometrics of an endemic species, Neotermes nilamburensis Thakur is also discussed. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:C1B5291B-65E4-4C91-8E27-81F7CC875CB6

ABSTRACT The biting midges of the genus Atrichopogon Kieffer, 1906 have been recorded worldwide. Some suck haemolymph from blister beetles (Meloidae) and false blister beetles (Oedemeridae). We collected female biting midges attacking the blister beetle Meloe coarctatus Motschulsky, 1858 in Kanagawa, Central Japan. Our morphological analyses compared with historic specimens revealed that the midges were Atrichopogon lucorum (Meigen, 1818), which had marked morphological variation and characters similar to American and British specimens. These records are not only the new distribution records of the species from Japan but also extend the eastern limit of the previous distribution of A. lucorum and its host range. Atrichopogon femoralis Tokunaga, 1940, considered related to A. lucorum, is redescribed and compared with A. lucorum.

ABSTRACT The formicine ant genus Agraulomyrmex Prins, 1983 is recorded from Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, India, and a new species Agraulomyrmex damohensis sp. nov. is described based on a single worker specimen. This genus is reported outside of the Afrotropical region for the first time. The new species is compared with the two described species of the genus from Africa and it differs from them by having nine segmented antennae. This species has been placed in genus Agraulomyrmex based on the structure of the mesosoma (i.e. absence of mesometanotal suture and metanotal groove), presence of nine segmented antennae without distinct club, and absence of ocelli. Holotype is deposited in the National Pusa Collection, Division of Entomology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:8F948505-D833-47BE-B324-63B113034CFC

ABSTRACT We explored patterns of dung beetle diversity from croplands and pastures in two climatic zones (hot semi-arid and humid subtropical climate) from six localities in each of three districts, i.e. Gujrat, Kotli and Sialkot. We placed three 500 m long transects each separated by ~150 m apart within a sampling site. Data were collected by placing nine pitfall traps, each separated by ~50 m apart at each habitat. We estimated alpha diversity metrics and also calculated the similarity percentage (SIMPER) between study sites and habitat types. Nineteen species representing eight genera, six tribes and two subfamilies were recorded. Dung beetle assemblages showed significant differences in relative abundance in species richness and abundance. In croplands, Onthophagus gazella (18.19%), Onitis philemon (09%) and Onitis castaneous (12.92%) were the most abundant species. Whereas in pastures, Onthophagus gazella (11.16%), Onitis castaneous (6.65%) and Onitis philemon (8.22%) were abundant. SIMPER results indicated that Onthophagus gazella and Onitis castaneous were top contributors in the dissimilarity between study sites and habitat types. Greater diversity was recorded in Gujrat and Kotli Tunnellers were the most dominant functional guild in both habitat types. The present study highlights that climatic zones influence the patterns of distribution of dung beetle assemblages associated with habitat types.
