Abstract. The stilt bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Berytidae) of Guatemala are reviewed. Previously, seven species were recorded from the country. Three species are recorded as new to Guatemala: Oedalocanthus ornatus Henry, 1996; Pronotacantha concolor Henry, 1997; and Metacanthus multispinus (Ashmead, 1887). Four additional species have not been recorded from Guatemala but have ranges that make their occurrence likely. Label data is presented for all examined specimens.

Abstract. In this study, molecular and morphological analysis of Palmicultor Williams, 1963 (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae) mealybugs, intercepted on plant material entering California and collected in Florida, provides evidence for the existence of a cryptic species under the taxon currently known as P. palmarum (Ehrhorn, 1916). A characterization and analysis based on three molecular markers (mitochondrial COI 5′ end and COI 3′ end regions and nuclear rRNA 18S) for all four described species and the putative cryptic species is presented. Morphological characters used to diagnose species of Palmicultor are evaluated, and an updated identification key to adult females is presented. The history of interceptions of invasive species of Palmicultor in California is addressed, and new host plant records are reported. Considering the high intraspecific morphological variability within the genus, the molecular markers sequenced here provide a useful tool to confirm species identity during high-risk interceptions of these mealybugs.

Abstract. Dalmatian toadflax, Linaria dalmatica (L.) Mill., and yellow toadflax, Linaria vulgaris Mill. (Plantaginaceae), are exotic forbs that have become widespread in North America, including California. Both species have accumulated several exotic insects from accidental and intentional introductions. Until recently, Mecinus janthiniformis Toševski & Caldara, 2011 was known to occur at only one location in southern California. Recent surveys of L. dalmatica in northern California recovered M. janthiniformis and a second weevil, Rhinusa neta (Germar, 1821), the latter a new California record. From 2010–2015, M. janthiniformis was recovered at 24 of 27 sites in Lassen, Modoc, Plumas, Siskiyou, and Trinity Counties. After 2014, four locations in Trinity County and one in Sierra County were monitored annually through 2020, but no M. janthiniformis have been recovered to date suggesting this species has not extended its range since 2014. In 2018, R. neta was discovered in L. dalmatica seed capsules in Trinity and Sierra Counties. Later surveys found R. neta infesting L. dalmatica at five locations in four counties and Sairocarpus virga (A. Gray) D. A. Sutton (= Antirrhinum virga A. Gray) (Plantaginaceae), a native species, at one location in Colusa County. The intensity of attack of R. neta on L. dalmatica ranged from 9–70% of seed capsules infested. Being found 300 km south of the Oregon border suggests that R. neta spreads more readily than M. janthiniformis, which has only spread 190 km south of the Oregon border but no further since 2014. Repeated annual sampling at uninfested sites found R. neta to have spread 42 km in one year, an unusually high dispersal rate for exotic Coleoptera.

Coriander or cilantro, Coriandrum sativum L. (Apiaceae), is a plant used as an ingredient in dishes of Mexican cuisine. In 2017, Mexico exported around 64,000 tons to the United States and Canada, valued at more than US$47 million (SIAP 2019). Today, 6983 ha are cultivated, with Puebla being the largest producer with 3294 ha (SIAP 2021). Since 2018, technicians have reported the presence of an unknown type of aphid on the roots and base of cilantro. In February 2021, aphids were collected in Palmarito Tochapan, Quecholac, Puebla (N18.924975°, W97.644956°). The nymphs and adults were preserved in 70% ethyl alcohol. Using the keys of Blackman & Eastop (2006) and Peña-Martínez et al. (2017), the species was identified as the rice root aphid, Rhopalosiphum rufiabdominale (Sasaki, 1899). The rice root aphid is frequently found on species of Poaceae, Cyperaceae, and Rosaceae (Blackman & Eastop 2006). It has also been reported on cotton (Doncaster 1956), chili and aeroponic pumpkin (Etzel & Petit 1992), tomato and potato (Blackman & Eastop 2000), celery (Dara 2015), and hemp (Cranshaw & Wainwright-Evans 2020). Aldryhim & Khalil (1996) also reported the presence of R. rufiabdominale on C. sativum roots in Saudi Arabia. This report is the first record of the rice root aphid in Mexico affecting the cilantro crop. The collected individuals varied in coloring, ranging from orange in early instars to dark green in wingless adults (Fig. 1). In both cases, a reddish area was visible at the height of the cornicles. This pattern of coloring is distinguishable from Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch, 1856), which is bluish green and has dark spots at the base of the cornicles. However, they can be frequently confused with Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus, 1758) because of the reddish coloring at the cornicles, but R. padi has six antennal segments, while R. rufiabdominale has five (Doncaster 1956). Aphid outbreaks can cause significant economic damage. Large populations feeding directly on the crop can cause a reduction in growth, yellowing, and leaf deformation. Some plants infested with rice root aphid exhibited yellowing and reduced growth (Fig. 1a). However, some of the specimens were collected from plants that were not yellowing and were apparently healthy. The highest incidence of this insect in Puebla occurs from December to March, when precipitation is low. The cryptic habit of this aphid makes its detection difficult, and if initial infestations are not detected on time, this can lead to high densities that seriously affect the crop. The purpose of this note is to inform of the presence of R. rufiabdominale on cilantro in Puebla, Mexico, so that growers and field technicians can take timely measures, such as frequent monitoring when there are optimal conditions for development of this pest and management of alternate hosts. In addition, it is necessary to generate information on alternative tools that would allow us to give sound advice for control of this pest.

While working on a bibliography of fireflies, I came across the species Photinus semiluteus Pic, 1939 in McDermott’s (1966) catalog of the family Lampyridae. Under this species is a second citation to a new species description of the same name (Pic 1940). After comparing both descriptions, it seems clear that Pic observed two different specimens and species with different characters but assigned both the name P. semiluteus. The 1939 description states the thorax has a black midline and two red spots, while the 1940 description says the thorax is yellow with a red center and three black dots. Pic (1939) also states the size as 9 mm, while it is only 8 mm in the second description (Pic 1940). After comparison of the descriptions, I conclude Pic described two different species. Thus, P. semiluteus Pic, 1940 is a primary homonym requiring a new name (ICZN 1999, Articles 23.3.5 and 60.3). Here, I propose Photinus davisae Keller, nomen novum, to replace P. semiluteus Pic, 1940. Etymology. The species is named for Melanie Davis, the Interlibrary Loan coordinator at the University of Florida. Ms. Davis was instrumental in my attempts to gather a comprehensive bibliography of the family Lampyridae and processed many obscure literature requests over the past seven years. Ms. Davis is retiring at the end of August 2021, and this is my way to say thank you. Distribution. Pic (1940) states the type location as “B.-Ayres”, Argentina. Ideally, the holotypes for each species would have been observed, but due to COVID-19 and the recently established policy by the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris not to loan primary types anymore this was not feasible at this time. Pic’s type specimens are also difficult to locate due to the lack of type labels for many species he described.

Abstract. A spittlebug of the genus Aphrophora Germar, 1821 (Hemiptera: Cercopoidea: Aphrophoridae) occurs in profusion on many coastal California populations of invasive exotic iceplant, Carpobrotus edulis (L.) N. E. Brown (Aizoaceae), a spreading, mat-forming, perennial succulent. Described here as Aphrophora moscoviciae sp. nov., it occurs along the Pacific Coast and San Francisco Bay, from Marin County south to at least Ventura County, and achieves remarkably high population levels in some localities, with a maximum density of 2700 nymphs/m2, an apparent world record for spittlebugs. While it appears to be endemic to California, native hosts are unknown. It shares habitats with three demonstrated spittlebug vectors of the plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. (Xanthomonadaceae), including one, Philaenus spumarius (Linnaeus, 1758), that is common on iceplant. This suggests that it could play a role in broader transmission networks among cultivated and wild plants.
摘要1821年，在加利福尼亚沿海许多外来入侵冰植物Carpobrotus edulis (L.)的种群中大量出现了一种德国Aphrophora(半翅目:cercopo总科:aphrophidae)属的喷虫。N. E. Brown (Aizoaceae)，一种摊开，席状，多年生多肉植物。在这里被称为Aphrophora moscoviciae sp. nov.，它分布在太平洋沿岸和旧金山湾，从马林县向南至少到文图拉县，在一些地方达到了非常高的人口水平，最大密度为2700若虫/平方米，这显然是吐唾沫虫的世界纪录。虽然它似乎是加州特有的，但本地宿主是未知的。它与三种已证实的植物病原体木杆菌(Xanthomonadaceae)的吐痰虫载体共享栖息地，其中一种是冰植物上常见的Philaenus spumarius (Linnaeus, 1758)。这表明它可以在栽培和野生植物之间更广泛的传播网络中发挥作用。

A spittlebug of the genus Aphrophora Germar, 1821 (Hemiptera: Cercopoidea: Aphrophoridae) occurs in profusion on many coastal California populations of invasive exotic iceplant, Carpobrotus edulis (L.) N. E. Brown (Aizoaceae), a spreading, mat-forming, perennial succulent. Described here as Aphrophora moscoviciae sp. nov., it occurs along the Pacific Coast and San Francisco Bay, from Marin County south to at least Ventura County, and achieves remarkably high population levels in some localities, with a maximum density of 2700 nymphs/m2, an apparent world record for spittlebugs. While it appears to be endemic to California, native hosts are unknown. It shares habitats with three demonstrated spittlebug vectors of the plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. (Xanthomonadaceae), including one, Philaenus spumarius (Linnaeus, 1758), that is common on iceplant. This suggests that it could play a role in broader transmission networks among cultivated and wild plants.","PeriodicalId":56098,"journal":{"name":"Pan-Pacific Entomologist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46551940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
