Abstract. We report the results of long-term collecting efforts conducted mainly in the western Amazon region of Peru, and in Bolivia, Ecuador, Suriname, French Guiana, and Panama. Host plant and distribution records are documented for 55 plant species associated with 40 species of Anastrepha Schiner belonging to 15 species groups or unassigned to a group. We document new host records or provide detail for records recently reported in the literature with limited information and also describe the larval feeding modes within the fruit. This contributes to a better understanding of the biology of Anastrepha, facilitates phylogenetic analysis, and develops identification tools for the genus. We provide a synopsis of native host plants by Anastrepha species groups to compare the range of host plants within these groups. We report 25 plant species as hosts for the first time for 22 Anastrepha species and new distribution records for 18 Anastrepha species. We provide photographs of the fruit injury caused by larvae of 31 Anastrepha species. We report two larval feeding modes: 23 species are pulp feeders in 21 native and four exotic host plants, 11 species are seed feeders in 12 native host plants, and four species feed on both pulp and seeds of three native host plants. We report the first host plant record, two species of Sapotaceae, for the speciosa group, which is among the most ancestral clades of Anastrepha. We present and discuss our results in evolutionary terms following the most recently inferred Anastrepha phylogeny.

Abstract. Illinoia (Masonaphis) lambersi (MacGillivray, 1960), a macrosiphine aphid species that mainly lives on Rhododendron spp., is native to western North America, but adventive in Europe, Macaronesia, South America, and West Asia. This species is regarded internationally as distributed in Japan, but no reliable literature records its distribution in Japan. The present paper, for the first time, formally reports the occurrence of I. lambersi in Japan and East Asia based on specimens collected in 1983 in Sapporo and 2020–2021 in Pippu, Hokkaido, Japan. Rhododendron molle subsp. japonicum was a principal host plant for I. lambersi in Hokkaido. Rhododendron albrechtii and R. × mucronatum were newly recorded as hosts for I. lambersi. Fundatrices were found in the populations in Pippu, indicating that the populations are holocyclic, as reported also in western North America.
摘要。Illinoia (Masonaphis) lambersi(MacGillivray,1960 年)是一种主要生活在杜鹃花属植物上的大虹吸蚜虫,原产于北美洲西部,但在欧洲、马加罗西亚、南美洲和西亚也有分布。国际上认为该物种分布于日本,但没有可靠的文献记录其在日本的分布情况。本文根据 1983 年在日本札幌和 2020-2021 年在北海道皮浦采集的标本,首次正式报告了 I. lambersi 在日本和东亚的分布情况。杜鹃花亚种(Rhododendron molle subsp.Rhododendron albrechtii 和 R. × mucronatum 被新记录为 I. lambersi 的寄主。在皮普(Pippu)的种群中发现了原基,表明这些种群是全周期的,北美西部也有报道。

Abstract. Aphaenogaster mariae Forel is a rarely encountered North American arboreal ant that has eluded collectors for decades. Here, we provide the first formal documentation of a whole colony collection of the species found seventeen meters high in the canopy of the North Carolina Piedmont. We discovered a mature colony with more than 1000 individuals, including workers, alate reproductives, immatures, and intercastes. We present the first images of the males, larvae, pupae, and intercaste workers, redescribe the male, and provide natural history insights and colony demographics for this elusive species. Our collections suggest that A. mariae occurs at low densities consistent with its putative socially parasitic life history. Although much remains to be learned about this species, our results expand knowledge of its life history and facilitate future nest discovery and identification.
摘要。Aphaenogaster mariae Forel 是一种很少遇到的北美树栖蚂蚁,几十年来一直躲避着采集者。在这里,我们首次正式记录了在北卡罗来纳州皮德蒙特17米高的树冠层中发现的该物种的整个蚁群。我们发现了一个拥有 1000 多只个体的成熟蚁群,其中包括工蚁、异形生殖蚁、未成年蚁和中间蚁。我们首次展示了雄虫、幼虫、蛹和种间工蜂的图像,重新描述了雄虫,并提供了这一难以捉摸的物种的自然史见解和群落人口统计数据。我们的采集结果表明,玛丽亚蛙的密度很低,这与其假定的社会寄生生活史相符。尽管对这一物种还有很多需要了解的地方,但我们的研究结果扩展了对其生活史的了解,并有助于未来巢穴的发现和识别。

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.
