Abstract. Peach silver mite, Aculus fockeui (Acari: Prostigmata) is one of the most damaging pests of plum and peach trees. A study was conducted to determine the population dynamics A. fockeui (Nalepa and Trouessart, 1890) (Acari: Eriophyidae) in pesticide-free plum and peach orchards in three different localities (Termal, Çınarcık, and Centrum) of the Yalova Province in Turkey during 2018–2019. Aculus fockeui were found on leaves throughout the vegetative period in both plum (Prunus domestica) and peach (P. persica) orchards, and populations reached their densities between June and August in both years. Temperature and host plant differences had a significant effect on the population density, which was significantly higher in plum orchards than peach orchards. The predators Zetzellia mali (Ewing) (Acari: Stigmaeidae) and Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) were observed feeding on eriophyid mites in all orchards sampled. Further studies are needed to investigate their predation rate, effectiveness and potential as biological control agents for eriophyid mites.

Abstract. Although the generic name implies that the genus Malayaxenos Kifune is from Southeast Asia, the current distribution is more cosmopolitan. Species are now known from Germany, United States of America, Dominica, Colombia, Australia, and Malaysia. As part of this distribution, four new species are named: Malayaxenos baileyi new species, Malayaxenos dominicensis new species, Malayaxenos kogani new species, and Malayaxenos platycephala new species. Additionally, Australoxenos Kathirithamby is proposed here as a junior synonym of Malayaxenos, making its only species Malayaxenos yetmaniensis new combination. All species in Malayaxenos are herein described or reviewed and a world key is provided for species identification.

Abstract. A new cryptic oxycarenid seed bug, Crophius arribus new species (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Oxycarenidae), is described from the Mexican states of Chiapas, México, Puebla, and Querétaro, and Arizona, USA. The new species is assigned to the genus Crophius Stål even though the length of the labium and the number of fore femoral spines exceed the established generic limits. A lectotype is designated for Oxycarenus scabrous (Uhler).

Abstract. The genitalia of an unusually pale and uniform male of Gesta (Erynnides) from central Texas are intermediate between those of Gesta horatius and Gesta tristis tatius, owing to interspecific hybridization. These sister species are widely distributed (mainly from the eastern United States and from the southwestern United States to Colombia, respectively) and barely sympatric. Four different methods of analyzing data from whole genome sequencing of 7 specimens of each parental species, 6 specimens of related species G. meridianus (as an outgroup), and the specimen with the peculiar genitalia show that it is an F1 hybrid whose mother is G. t. tatius. The superficial appearance of this hybrid does not suggest either parent.

the most species-rich genus of Symphyta (sawflies) with more than 1000 described species worldwide—roughly 154 of these found in the Nearctic Region (Taeger et al. 2018, Goulet 2020). Despite their larger body size relative to many sawflies, surprisingly little is known of the biology of this genus in North America—we estimate the life histories of greater than 90 percent remain unknown (Baine et al. 2019). Published host records are documented from a wide diversity of plant families, and while several species appear to be highly specialized, many Palearctic Tenthredo are considered to be mainly polyphagous (Goulet 1996). Herein, we reveal for the first time the life history of T. mellicoxa Provancher, 1878 (Fig. 2) from Virginia waterleaf (Hydrophyllum virginianum L.) (Boraginaceae). As the first member of the T. rufopectus species group with a known life history, we hope this discovery will offer clues to the biology of related Tenthredo species, i.e., T. rufopectus (Norton, 1860), T. nimbipennis Cresson, 1872, T. ruma MacGillivray, 1923, and T. fernowi Goulet and Smith, 1995. As T. mellicoxa appears to be a Hydrophyllum specialist, we predict its kin may also be dietary specialists. In late April 2022, in Brown Co., Kansas (Hamlin, No-man’s Land Farm, (39.90625° lat, -95.58656° long)), TAM observed an abundance of adult T. mellicoxa flying around a large stand of Virginia waterleaf in a mesic, mixed deciduous forest (Fig. 1). Where the adults were abundant, Hydrophyllum, just shy of blooming, stood about 0.5 m tall and was the dominant understory plant. Adult Tenthredo (Fig. 2) were readily collected with a sweep net as they skimmed low above the waterleaf or as they perched on the upper surface of waterleaf leaves. TAM netted four adult females and placed them into separate 50-dram vials, each bearing a single Hydrophyllum leaf. All four females successfully oviposited. Observed details of the life history are as follows. Ova were inserted between the lower epidermis and mesophyll in nonvascular areas of the waterleaf leaf tissue (Fig. 3). The captive oviposition rate was remarkably consistent across the four captured females; each laid 12–15 eggs, with oviposition slowing 48 hours post collection and ceasing altogether 72 hours post collection. Eggs hatched 9–10 days post oviposition and first instar larvae immediately began feeding solitarily within the interior of the leaf blade leaving ovate holes behind (Fig. 4). The cloudy white bloom of early instars was replaced by the characteristic gray dorsum of later instars in the third instar. Like other Tenthredo and related genera, when not actively feeding larvae often coiled themselves on the undersides of the leaves, and when disturbed, would drop from the leaf surface. The fifth, prepupal instar did not form a silken cocoon, but rather was found to shelter in an earthen cell, presumably overwintering until pupation and subsequent eclosion the following spring. The average time from oviposi

Abstract. No comprehensive identification resource is available for the genus Frankliniella. In response, a dynamic internet–based platform with interactive identification tools, species fact sheets and slide preparation tutorials are being developed by the author(s). We reviewed certain type, port interceptions, and origin collected specimens. We attempted to validate species identification using non-destructive DNA extraction and sequencing of both intercepted and field collected specimens. Sequences explicitly linked to a permanently curated morphological voucher specimen were deposited in a public repository (GenBank). The morphological review and genetic analysis revealed that both F. bruneri Watson and F. xanthaner Hood are each likely cryptic species complexes. Five species are described, F. ecuatoriana new species, F. funderburki new species, F. pelucensis new species, F. sanabriana new species and F. suramericana new species. Sequence data are recorded for the holotype specimens of the latter four species. Taxonomic status changes for F. genuina Hood and F. venusta Moulton are provided.
