BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF SCALE INSECTS ON CITRUS IN SOUTHEASTERN QUEENSLAND. I CONTROL OF RED SCALE AONIDIELLA AURANTII (MASKELL)
Authors: Smith D. 
Published: April 2007

SUMMARYThe parasites, Aphytis lingnanensis Compere and Comperiella bifasciata Howard gave effective control of Aonidiella aurantii (Maskell) in four blocks of oranges during 1975‐77. Scale infestations in the blocks were reduced to the economically acceptable level of less than 0.05 adult females per fruit in 12 months and were maintained at these levels at harvest in 1976 and at conclusion of the study prior to harvest in 1977.Large numbers of scale developed on trees where parasites were suppressed by treating with DDT and a similar increase was demonstrated where parasites were excluded using gauze cages.Persistent chemical sprays suppressive to parasites were not used in the blocks during the study and it is considered that effective parasitic regulation can be realized only if such sprays are avoided.
THE CHROMOSOMES OF AN AUSTRALIAN PASSALID, AULACOCYCLUS EDENTULUS MACL. (COLEOPTERA, PASSALIDAE, AULACOCYCLINAE)*
Authors: Mesa Alejo , Ferreira Amilton , Martins Vanderley 
Published: April 2007

SUMMARYThe karyotype of Aulacocyclus edentulus is 1411+ XY, the majority of the chromosomes being either metacentric or submetacentric. One of the autosome pairs is very large and from the pair 2 to 14 the chromosomes decrease gradually in length. The chromosomes of this species show that the subfamily Aulacocyclinae follows the same patterns of karyotype evolution as that in the remaining Passalidae‐Lucanidae stock.

THE AUSTRALIAN ACHILINE GENERA ANEIPO KIRKALDY AND BUNDUICA JACOBI (HOMOPTERA: FULGOROIDEA: ACHILIDAE)*
Authors: Lambkin K. J. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe achiline genera Aneipo and Bunduica are redescribed. A key and illustrated descriptions are given of the four species of Aneipo, diva Kirkaldy (north Queensland), ceres Fennah (southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales), diana Fennah (north Queensland) and minerva sp.n. (New South Wales), thereby providing the first accounts of the structure of the male and female genitalia in the genus. A similar description of the monotype of Bunduica, rubrovenosa Jacobi (southwest Australia), confirms the placement of Bunduica within the Achilini.
MALE INSECTS AND GALLS OF THE GENUSCYLINDROCOCCUSMASKELL (HOMOPTERA: COCCOIDEA)
Authors: Gullan P. J. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe structure of the adult male and mature gall of the male ofCylindrococcus spiniferusMaskell is described. The adult male ofC. spiniferusis compared with those of two species ofOpisthoscelisSchrader and two species ofApiomorphaRübsaamen.Galls of male insects ofC. spiniferusare narrow, conical to fusiform and composed of numerous imbricating bracts which resemble normal or elongated scale leaves of theCasuarinaspecies that act as host plants. The adult male ofC. spiniferushas extremely elongated external genitalia which distinguish it from males ofApiomorphaandOpisthoscelis.Despite the fact thatApiomorphaandOpisthoscelisappear to have closer affinities on the basis of their host specificity and shape of galls produced by their males, the adult males ofC. spiniferusandOpisthoscelisare structurally more similar to each other than to the adult males ofApiomorpha. Nevertheless,Cylindrococcus, ApiomorphaandOpisthoscelisshare many characters and a close relationship between these genera is supported. The structure of the adult male ofC. spiniferusalso suggests thatCylindrococcusis allied to the Eriococcidae.
MYZUS PERSICAE (SULZER): STRAINS RESISTANT TO DEMETON‐SMETHYL AND DIMETHOATE IN AUSTRALIA
Authors: Hamilton J. T. , Attia F. I. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractFive strains of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) were collected from peaches and potatoes in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland in 1976/77. In four strains resistance to demeton‐S‐methyl ranged from 14‐ to 18‐fold and to dimethoate from 17‐ to 50‐fold. The fifth strain showed a low order of resistance to demeton‐S‐methyl and dimethoate of 4‐ and 3.4‐fold respectively.
POLYMORPHISMS FOR WING LENGTH AND COLOUR PATTERN IN THE GRASSHOPPER PHAULACRIDIUM VITTATUM (SJOST.)
Authors: Dearn John M. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractAn examination of adult Phaulacridium vittatum (Orthoptera: Acrididae) from three geographic regions in south‐eastern Australia showed that in all three populations individuals were dimorphic for both wing length and colour pattern. The frequencies of both polymorphisms differed significantly between different populations but no association between the two polymorphisms was detected. Significant size differences were detected between different morph classes.
THE RECENT INTRODUCTION OF THE PEST ANT WASMANNIA AUROPUNCTATA INTO NEW CALEDONIA*
Authors: Fabres Gérard , Brown William L. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe originally neotropical pest ant Wasmannia auropunctata has appeared in New Caledonia and is spreading and becoming a nuisance in coffee and citrus plantings, as well as domestic gardens. The ant, although minute in size, has a potent sting that is annoying to agricultural workers in plantations and gardens, and it helps raise scale insect populations to pest densities. The ant is now abundant enough in New Caledonia to pose a threat to neighbouring agricultural countries by accidental introduction through commerce. As a possible control measure in plantations and gardens, baits containing minute amounts of mirex® should be investigated.

EFFECT OF COMBINING METHYL EUGENOL AND CUELURE ON THE CAPTURE OF MALE TETHRITID FRUIT FLIES
Authors: Hooper G. H. S. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractCaptures of males of species responding to methyl eugenol and cuelure were significantly reduced when both attractants were combined in a single trap as compared with the captures obtained in traps containing either of the attractants alone. When traps containing methyl eugenol and cuelure were placed side by side the number of flies responding to methyl eugenol was reduced, and the number of flies responding to cuelure was increased, as compared with captures in single isolated traps.

THE SPERMATHECA AND ASSOCIATED STRUCTURES OF LETHAEINI (HEMIPTERA: LYGAEIDAE: RHYPAROCHROMINAE)
Authors: KHAN P. , WOODWARD T. E. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe spermathecae of 25 species in 14 genera of Lethaeini are described and figured. A preliminary assessment is made of the value of the structure of the spermatheca as a taxonomic character, particularly at the generic level and as indicating relationships between genera. A convoluted mass of tubules, apparently a coiled gland, occurs near the entry of the spermathecal duct to the common oviduct in the two species of Lethaeus Dallas and the one species of Austroxestus Woodward studied. A dorsal sac opening into the genital chamber of the female is recorded in the species studied of Lethaeus, Neolethaeus Distant, Aristaenetus Distant, Myocara Bergroth, Exomyocara Slater and Woodward, Paramyocara Woodward and Malipatil, and an undescribed genus.

THE PHYTOPHAGOUS INSECT FAUNA OF RUBUS SPP. (ROSACEAE) IN VICTORIA, A STUDY ON THE BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF BLACKBERRY (RUBUS FRUTICOSUS L. AGG.)
Authors: Bruzzese Eligio 
Published: April 2007

AbstractIn Victoria 44 species of phytophagous insects and two species of mites were found to attack endemic and introduced Rubus spp. Most insects were polyphagous and ectophagous and half were of some economic importance to crop plants. Only one host‐specific insect was found on endemic Rubus spp. European blackberry appears to have been introduced into Australia free of its specific insect predators and the possible use of one of these as a biological control agent is mentioned.

POPULATION STUDIES OF CULEX ANNULIROSTRIS SKUSE AND OTHER MOSQUITOES (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) AT MILDURA IN THE MURRAY VALLEY OF SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA
Authors: McDonald G. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA light trap was used to monitor the seasonal distribution and prevalence of mosquito species at Mildura between late 1975 and 1979. The most common summer species was Cx annulirostris Populations of Cx annulirostris generally increased from late October until February, and declined in March‐April. Population growth appeared to increase when ambient temperatures exceeded 17.5°C, and was usually greatest after temperatures had reached 25°C. The most prevalent of the 12 other species trapped, Cx australicus, was generally most abundant in spring and autumn. The seasonal distribution of mosquitoes is discussed in relation to transmission of arboviruses in the Murray Valley.

THE BASKING BEHAVIOUR OF NEZARA VIRIDULA (L.) (PENTATOMIDAE: HEMIPTERA) ON SOYBEANS AND ITS IMPLICATION IN CONTROL
Authors: Waite G. K. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractDuring investigations into the behaviour of Nezara viridula (L.) on soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) at Emerald, Queensland in 1976, up to 87% of adults and nymphs present in a crop moved to the surface of the canopy each morning and remained there for a period before returning into the crop. The observed number of adults and nymphs was poorly correlated with the climatic factors recorded (r2= 0.32 for time of day, temperature and humidity). This finding has implications with respect to pest population assessment and the optimum time of day for the application of contact insecticides for control.

COMMUNAL NESTING IN AN AUSTRALIAN SOLITARY WASP, CERCERIS ANTIPODES SMITH (HYMENOPTERA, SPHECIDAE)
Authors: Alcock John 
Published: April 2007

ABSTRACTFemales of Cerceris antipodes nest communally in stable small groups. On any one day there is a rudimentary division of labor with usually only one active provisioner; the other females remain within the burrow and some guard the nest against intruders. The communal nesting behavior of C. antipodes is compared with that of other species of Cerceris.
ORD RIVER ARBOVIRUSES–MOSQUITO CAPTURES DURING 1976/77
Authors: Wright A. E. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractDuring 1976/77 four field trips, each of one month's duration, were made to the Ord Valley to collect mosquitoes in the continuing study of arbovirus ecology. Results indicate that Culex annulirostris Skuse continued to dominate the mosquito fauna of the area, whilst Coquillettidia xanthogasler (Edwards), Mansonia uniformis (Theobald) and Anopheles bancroftii Giles appear to be increasing in numbers following stabilisation of the lake margins and prolific growth of aquatic plant species. Limited trials suggested that new double‐chambered aluminium traps, particularly when used with sharply indexed entrance funnels, were superior to the chicken‐baited traps used previously. Further trials with three different bait animals indicated that rabbits attracted more mosquitoes than chickens and that both of these caught more than guinea‐pigs. When chickens and rabbits were combined in the same traps they attracted significantly more mosquitoes per trap than when used separately.
FACTORS INFLUENCING THE ABUNDANCE OF THE EUROPEAN WASP (PARA VESPULA GERM A NIC A [F.])
Authors: Madden J. L. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe annual abundance of P. germanica nests within a denned area was found to be correlated with autumn and spring rainfall during the period of queen production and nest establishment respectively. Although rain, as such, influenced wasp survival, evidence is presented to suggest that nesting success was dependent on the indigenous protein supply during the queening period and/or its effects on the vigour of overwintering nests.

THE ROLE OF PREDATORY HEMIPTERA IN DISSEMINATING A NUCLEAR POLYHEDROSIS VIRUS OF HELIOTHIS PUNCTIGER
Authors: Cooper D. J. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe predatory pentatomid Oechalia schellenbergii (Guérin‐Méneville) feeds on larvae of Heliothis punctiger Wallengren that have died from a nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV), as well as on healthy larvae. An immunofluorescent counting method was employed to detect polyhedra in the excreta of O. schellenbergii that had fed on virus‐killed larvae, and polyhedra were detected for 3–6 d after a meal. Nymphs retained polyhedra for longer periods as food residues are retained in the midgut until after the final moult. Bioassays indicated that virus in the excreta of adults was highly infective 2 d after a virus‐infected meal, and that 27% of polyhedra were infective 4 d after a meal. Four per cent of polyhedra retained inside a nymph for 10 to 15 d were infective. Field studies indicated that both O. schellenbergii and the predatory nabid Nabis tasmanicus Remane fed frequently on virus‐killed larvae, and the role of both insects in the epizootiology of H. punctiger NPV is discussed.
