ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the biodiversity and structure of the aquatic beetle community living in Tonga Lake, a protected area classified by Ramsar in 1983, northeastern Algeria, as well as to analyse the effect of environmental factorsin particular, the degree of invasion by physicochemical parameters of the water on the abundance and species richness of the aquatic beetle community. The collections were carried out between March 2017 and February 2018, at three selected sites. In total, 1.212 individuals were collected, 24 species were determined. The highest diversity was recorded during spring. Water samples were sampled seasonally from each site. The GLM showed that aquatic beetle abundance varied considerably among sites on a seasonal basis. GLM also showed significant effects of water physicochemical parameters on abundance and species richness of the beetle community.

ABSTRACT The first records of the iconic lycaenid butterfly Hypolycaena amasa amasa Hewitson, [1865], commonly known as Fluffy Tit, from Macau and Hong Kong are reported here, along with its other Chinese records. A review on the knowledge of this species across its full distribution range reveals poor information on the larval food plants, in particular. In Hong Kong, early life stages have been found grazing only on the indigenous and widespread plant Clerodendrum cyrtophyllum Turcz. (Verbenaceae). While it is possible that its sudden presence in Macau and Hong Kong, some 150 km southeast of its previously known range, may be related to artificial transport of ornamental plants from mainland China, the fact that the immature stages selectively utilised only C. cyrtophyllum as host, while ignoring completely congeneric ornamental plants species of exotic origin (i.e., C. japonicum (Thumb.) Sweet and C. thomsonae Balf.), indicates that support for this hypothesis is highly unlikely. Therefore, this may represent a new case of poleward migration of species in response to environmental fluctuations related to ongoing climatic changes, global warming in particular. It is now important to monitor these colonies and establish whether they are able to survive in the medium to long term.

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
