title: Domestic terms of trade and agricultural taxation policy in Pakistan 1970-1977.
Creators: name: Kazi, Shahnaz
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1983

description: The study has two major objectives. Firstly it attempts to assess the direction of intersectoral resource flows in the Pakistan economy through the mechanisms of terms of trade and tax policy. Towards this objective empirical estimates of sectoral terms of trade and tax burdens are provided for the period from 1970/71 to 1977/78. The second main aim of this research is to interpret changes in the price and tax policies over the period in the context of a political economy framework. This part of the discussion deals with the relative political strength of the leading classes and their influence on government decision making, specially with respect to prices and taxation. The study also briefly examines the implications of the policies pursued by the Bhutto government on the level of output, savings and distribution in the economy. The findings of the research indicate that during the period under study no serious attempt was made to appropriate an investible surplus from agriculture either through price shifts or through the revenue system. The series of agriculture's net barter terms of trade revealed a consistently positive trend during the seventies while the tax burden on the high income groups in the rural sector was totally inadequate in terms of both equity and developmental objectives. The study further links the failure to extract a surplus from the agricultural sector to the political dominance of the class of large landowners. The power of the landed elite is signed out as one of the principal reasons for the reluctance to reform the agrarian tax structure as well as for the policy of maintaining favourable relative prices of farm products.

title: Tombs and footprints : Islamic shrines and pilgrimages in modern Iran and Afghanistan.
Creators: name: Beattie, Hugh
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1983

description: The thesis examines the characteristic features of Islamic shrines and pilgrimages in Iran and Afghanistan, in doing so illustrating one aspect of the immense diversity of belief and practice to be found in the Islamic world. The origins of the shrine cults are outlined, the similarities between traditional Muslim and Christian attitudes to shrines are emphasized and the functions of the shrine and the mosque are contrasted. Iranian and Afghan shrines are classified, firstly in terms of the objects which form their principal attractions and the saints associated with them, and secondly in terms of the distances over which they attract pilgrims. The administration and endowments of shrines are described and the relationship between shrines and secular authorities analysed. Attention is drawn in particular to the lavish patronage of shrines by the Safavid Shahs in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The question which categories of people are most likely to visit shrines is raised; shrines are seen to play an especially prominent part in women's religious lives. The organisation and ritual of pilgrimage are described as far as the sources permit, as are the rituals which take place at the shrines themselves. In particular, the ritual of 'raising the standard', which is performed at or soon after New Year's Day at a number of shrines in northern Afghanistan and is believed to help to assure the prosperity of the community as well as the individual, is examined in some detail. People's motives for visiting shrines, economic, political, medical and social as well as strictly religious, are explored. Finally a wider question is raised, how the diversity of Islamic belief and practice of which these shrine and pilgrimage cults provide such striking evidence may best be accommodated within an analytical framework. Some criticisms are made of the models of Islam put forward by Spooner, Gulick, Gellner and Eickelmann, and an alternative approach is outlined.
title: Differentiation of the peasantry in Bangladesh : An empirical study with micro level data.
Creators: name: Rahman, Atiur
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1983

description: Most studies in the Third World conclude that the magnitude of poverty and inequality amongst the majority of the rural population has increased. This is particularly emphasised for Bangladesh. But scholars differ in explaining the causes of this depressing trend. One group would attribute it to the natural/demographic factors; while others insist that inequality and poverty are manifestations of certain socioeconomic processes which cause the peasantry to disintegrate. The two divergent views strikingly resemble the famous debate on differentiation of the peasantry which took place in Russia in the late 19th and early 20th century between the Populists and Marxists. The present study makes an attempt to apply the principal hypotheses of that debate in the context of two villages in Bangladesh. Data generated through a prolonged, indepth survey into demographic and socio-economic aspects of households of these two villages have been used to test the hypotheses. The major findings of the study are as follows : i) The hypothesis that it is family size which determines the relative wealth of any household does not always hold good, ii) The 'social mobility' schema or the lack of class differential hypothesis does not always appear to be true. iii) Clearly a pattern of differentiation between owners and non-owners of material elements of production, including land, has emerged in rural Bangladesh, iv) The speed of this differentiation is higher in a village which has acquired some 'Green Revolution' technology, v) The old relations of production and exchange are changing along with the differentiation and a process of dispossession of the poor and enlargement of the rich holdings are gaining momentum. However, this 'proletarianisation' is, as yet, 'partial'. vi) The state has been actively negotiating on behalf of capital to subsume labour. The rich peasantry has clearly benefited from state intervention with respect to the peasantry. This has only accentuated the process of differentiation of the peasantry.
title: Agricultural co-operation and the development of peasant agriculture in Zimbabwe: With special reference to the provinces of Mashonaland East, Mashonaland West and Masvingo.
Creators: name: Mukora, Charles Misheck Madenyika
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1983

description: Peasant agriculture provides a direct source of livelihood for about 75 cent of Zimbabwe's population. Its performance, however, has been disappointing, despite government efforts to increase its productivity, and all hopes of sustaining the country's rapidly growing population seen likely to be frustrated unless some significant progress can be made. This study, undertaken in three provinces - Mashonaland East, Mashonaland West and Masvingo - investigates the causes of this poor performance in peasant agriculture; evaluates the effectiveness of several agricultural development strategies now being used; and assesses the peasant farmer's ability to adopt modern agricultural techniques. Alongside a brief examination of the agricultural extension services, and of the multi-purpose African Development Fund, the thesis investigates the contribution being made by agricultural co-operatives. Participant observation, three separate questionnaires and unstructured interviews were used to collect data from 212 peasants, thirty agricultural extension assistants, fourteen government co-operative officers and assistants, twelve peasant agricultural promoting organisations, and from many other sources. Useful statistical data were also obtained from Government reports and historical documents. The peasants' level of adoption of modern agricultural practices, their agricultural productivity per unit factor of production, and their family incomes are used as criteria to measure the effectiveness of agricultural co-operation as am agricultural development strategy. Evidence suggests that peasant co-operatives have much to commend them in any attempt to improve peasant agriculture in Zimbabwe.

description: Die Masterarbeit soll eine Analyse des digitalen normativen Systems innerhalb der Vereinten Nationen liefern. Genauer gesagt soll die Arbeit, indem sie sich auf das spezifische Modell stützt, eine Erklärung dafür liefern, wie das vorherige normative System, das sogenannte analoge oder vordigitale, in das neue System umgewandelt wurde und wie neu entstandene Normen mit den vorherigen verknüpft sind. Mit dem Ziel, eine Antwort auf die oben genannte Forschungsfrage zu geben, führt die Arbeit eine qualitative deskriptive Analyse der spezifischen Dokumente durch, die von den Vereinten Nationen herausgegeben wurden. Nachdem dies getan wurde, zeigt die Arbeit, dass die Normen des digitalen normativen Systems digitale Versionen der vorherigen Normen sind, die durch strukturelle und agenturorientierte Faktoren umgewandelt wurden.
description: The Master’s Thesis seeks to provide an analysis of the digital normative system within the United Nations. Namely, by relying on the specific model, the thesis aims to provide an explanation of how the previous normative system, the so-called analog or predigital, has been transformed into the new one and how newly emerged norms are linked to the previous ones. With the aim of providing an answer to the aforementioned research question, the thesis conducts a qualitative descriptive analysis of the specific documents issued by the United Nations. Having done the former, the thesis demonstrates that the norms of the digital normative system are remodeled digital versions of the previous meta-analog norms that have been transformed by structural and agency-oriented factors.

description: DAMAGE TO JOJOBA (Simmondsia chinensis) FROM Nysius (Macroparius) cymoides SPIN. (Rhynchota-Heteroptera-Lygaeidae) IN APULIA

In late September 1985, a serious attack of Nysius (M.) cymoides Spin. (Rhynchota- Heteroptera-Lygaeidae) occurred in a Jojoba crops (Simmondsia chinensis [Link] Schneider) near Ascoli Satriano (Foggia, Apulia).

The Nysius attacked the seedlings after having multiplied on Portulaca oleracea L., a weed.

The pest was controlled with applications of Acephate (Orthene) and Deltamethrin (Decis) on the young plants and the surrounding soil, where the insect refuges.

description: BIOETHOLOGICAL DATA ON Pacbypasa otus DRURY (Lep. Lasiocampidae) IN SOUTHERN ITALY

This paper provides new data regarding the catching of P. otus (Lep. Lasiocampidae) present in Southern Italy. It is the first time that this species is reported on Quercus ilex L., Q. tro;ana Webb and Pinus balepensis Mill.; P. otus has also been bred on Pinus pinea L.

Its biologica! cycle, hitherto unknown for Southern Italy, is described. Finally, the presence of Habronyx heros Wesm. (Hymenoptera Ichneumonidae, Anomaloninae- Therionini), already known as a parasite in the immature stages of this species but new to the italian fauna, is reported.

Vengono forniti nuovi dati di cattura inerenti la Pachypasa otus Drury, Lasiocampide presente in Italia meridionale. La specie viene segnalata per la prima volta su Quercus ilex L., Q. trojana Webb e Pinus halepensis Mill.; è stata inoltre allevata su Pinus pinea L.

Viene descritto il ciclo biologico non ancora noto per l'Italia meridionale. In Puglia gli sfarfallamenti ed i voli si hanno solo nel mese di agosto, con individui sporadici nella prima metà di settembre; le larve sono presenti da ottobre a luglio, con un periodo di attività trofìca rallentata durante i mesi invernali. Tale ciclo è simile a quello riscontrato da BonENHEIMER (1932) in Palestina e da DELAGRANGE (1889) in Anatolia, mentre si discosta alquanto dai dati riportati in letteratura per le regioni europee e italiane, dove gli adulti volerebbero da giugno a settembre (RouGEOT P . C. & VIETTE P ., 1978) ; secondo MARIANI (1938) in Sicilia gli adulti sono presenti in giugno-luglio equindi in settembre, mentre a Rodi (HARTIG F., 1939) volano in febbraio e aprile.

Viene segnalata la presenza di Habronyx (Habronyx) heros Wesmael (Hymenopotera, Ichneumonidae, Anomaloninae-Therionini), parassita degli stadi preimmaginali, già segnalato su questa specie, mai prima rinvenuto in Italia.

title: Transport networks, accessibility and urban growth: A case study of Panjab, Pakistan.
Creators: name: Malik, Mohammad Khan
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1983

description: The study examines the relationship between the structure of transport network and urban growth in the region of the Panjab (Pakistan). This is an area where the growth of urban population had been gradual between 1881 and 1921, but accelerated in the later decades. The study looks at these temporal changes and traces the factors responsible. The temporal relationship between transportation and urban growth is discussed at regional and sub-regional levels and is used as the basis for the examination of additional factors, such as the physical environment, location and commercialization. In addition, different aspects of urban connectivity are discussed and measured through the application of graph theory where a matrix representation of the network accessibility surface at different time periods is also obtained by powering the matrices of connectivity between pairs of nodes. The inter-relationship between changes in accessibility to the road network and urban growth in the region is examined quantitatively at different levels by the application of simple and partial correlations. By comparing the correlation of five divisions (of wide contrast) a leading role of transportation in the process of urban development is assessed. Finally the conclusions are derived with the application of regression analysis, by relating the district level indices of transportation to the indices representing the socio-economic conditions of districts (1971).
title: Antelope (woman) and buffalo (woman) : Contemporary literary transformations of a topos in Yoruba culture.
Creators: name: Oed, Anja
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2002

description: This thesis explores four contemporary literary transformations of the topos of agbonrin and efon, antelope (woman) and buffalo (woman) respectively, in D.O. Fagunwa's Ogboju Ode Ninu Igbo Irunmale and Igbo Olodumare, Amos Tutuola's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, Mobolaji Adenubi's "The Importance of Being Prudent", and Ben Okri's three abiku narratives. The Famished Road, Songs of Enchantment, and Infinite Riches. The introductory chapter raises theoretical issues regarding the notion of a topos itself and examines how these resonate with central Yoruba concepts. Furthermore, it provides an overview of Yoruba cultural beliefs associated with the figures of antelope (woman) and buffalo (woman) and comments on contemporary literary transformations of this topos in general. Each of the consecutive chapters represents an in-depth analysis and interpretation of one contemporary author's literary transformation of the topos of antelope (woman) and/or buffalo (woman). By putting each writer's deployment of the motif of agbonrin and efon in a biographical, historical and socio-cultural perspective, I explore how he or she - more or less consciously - invests it with new meanings and, in the process, transforms it, and how the topos of antelope (woman) and buffalo (woman) thus comes to serve manifold symbolic or metaphoric purposes, reflecting on and expressing a whole range of issues. Not only is the topos as such continuous beyond the precolonial period but it also assumes a new relevance with respect to the socio-cultural and political anxieties generated in the colonial and post-colonial climates. The contemporary literary transformations explored in this thesis all mediate and negotiate personal, socio-cultural and political anxieties in the wake of sustained contact with the West, especially through Christian missionary activity and colonialism. The thematisation of gender relations plays an important symbolic, metaphoric and metonymic role in this respect, since the way in which each writer's literary transformation of the motif of agbonrin and efon relates to the issue of women and female agency in Yoruba culture, or, more generally, in Nigerian culture, is an important means of communicating and conceptualising change.

title: Perceptions of the self and the other in the short stories of Yusuf al-Sharuni.
Creators: name: Daniels, Kate Victoria McDonald
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2001

description: This thesis examines the relationship between identity and narrative. More specifically, it explores how the self and the other are perceived and represented in the short stories of the Egyptian writer Yusuf al-Sharuni (b. 1924). Over five chapters, it traces how these perceptions develop, through a chronological study of al-Sharuni's texts. The thesis is structured accordingly: its introduction begins with a historical and theoretical overview of the discourse of identity; it then shifts to the domain of literary theory, where it explores the concepts of narrative identity and the narrative self; it then moves to a discussion of al- Sharuni and his genre, considering the origins, form and nature of the modem Arabic short story and providing biographical data on the author. The introduction concludes with a discussion of the thesis' theoretical and methodological approaches. Each chapter is placed within a specific time frame and its historical/political context, being; (1) the Second World War and its aftermath; (2) the pre-revolutionary period; (3) the early years of the new regime; (4) Nasser's rule and the shift towards autocracy; and (5) the eras of Sadat and Mubarak. Further, each chapter explores common concepts: the narrative identities of the self and other; key characters and themes; and the relationship between the individual and the collectively. The overall analysis supports the following hypothesis: that al-Sharuni's short stories demonstrate an evolutionary view of reality, represented by a dynamic, evolving narrative self and other; and that his texts are underpinned by an evolving ideological discourse, informed by the socio-political context of their production. The thesis also considers al- Sharuni's contribution to the Arabic short story. In particular, it reveals how many of his key moods and trends predate those of his successors by more than twenty years, making him an early pioneer of modernist Arabic narrative.
title: The mora and the syllable in KiMvita (Mombasa Swahili) and Japanese.

description: This thesis deals mainly with aspects of the phonology of KiMvita, the Swahili dialect spoken in Mombasa, and has special reference to moraic nasals. The KiMvita analysis is then compared to that of Standard Japanese. The framework of moraic theory that is employed is based on Hyman's (1985) "Weight Theory". The theories of Feature Geometry (FG) and Lexical Phonology (LP) are also employed in the analysis. Nasal+Consonant (N+C) sequences occur in two ways in KiMvita: (i) a sequence of a moraic nasal and a consonant; (ii) a prenasalized obstruent. The analysis of the varying expressions of nasality, either as a moraic segment or as an element of a complex segment shows considerable dependence upon the morphology concerned. In addition to N+C sequences, the analysis of Consonant+Glide (C+G) sequences turns out to be great relevance; these two different types of composite segment differ in underlying representation as well as in surface syllabification. Here too LP enables us to distinguish two distinct surface forms (light diphthongs and complex consonants) in terms of lexical vs. post-lexical levels. Syllable construction in this study crucially requires both an onset and a nucleus. Processes of syllabification will be discussed based on this theoretical requirement together with the following two assumptions: (i) strictly left-to-right syllabification; (ii) priority of the Onset Creation Rule. This study proposes that the accent bearer both in KiMvita and Japanese is not the syllable, which is generally claimed in the literature, but the mora - though this may be associated with a syllable node. Moraic nasals are generally associated with the second mora of a bimoraic syllable word-intemally in both KiMvita and Japanese. However, there is one significant difference in the status of the second mora in these two languages: it may bear accent in KiMvita, while it may not in Japanese. As far as these two languages are concerned, the phonetic evidence suggests that the actual segment duration could explain why such a difference occurs.

description: Origin and composition dependence of the anisotropic thermomechanical properties are elucidated for Ba1-xSrxZn2Si2O7 (BZS) solid solutions. The high-temperature phase of BZS shows negative thermal expansion (NTE) along one crystallographic axis and highly anisotropic elastic properties characterized by X-ray diffraction experiments and simulations at the density functional theory level. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations provide accurate predictions of the anisotropic thermal expansion in excellent agreement with experimental observations. The NTE considerably decreases with increasing Sr content x. This is connected with the composition dependence of the vibrational density of states (VDOS) and the anisotropic Grüneisen parameters. The VDOS shifts to higher frequencies between 0-5 THz due to substitution of Ba with Sr. In the same frequency range, vibrational modes contributing most to the NTE are found. In addition, phonon calculations using the quasi-harmonic approximation revealed that the NTE is mainly connected with deformation of four-membered rings formed by SiO4 and ZnO4 tetrahedra. The thermomechanical and vibrational properties obtained in this work provide the basis for future studies facilitating the targeted design of BZS solid solutions as zero or negative thermal expansion material.
title: Baloch nationalism: Its origin and development up to 1980.
Creators: name: Breseeg, Taj Mohammad
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2001

description: This dissertation is a case study in nationalism. It examines the theoretical writings on the subject and concludes that nationalism is the sense of identity shared by a group of people who are linked by either a civic-territorial or by a linguistic-ethnic bond and by the belief that their corporate interests can best be protected by control of their own state. The central theme of the dissertation revolves around two basic questions: 1. Is there a Baloch nationality with a sufficiently developed national consciousness and distinctive characteristics shared by the members of this nationality? 2. If so, is the national consciousness of the Baloch, their determination to maintain their national identity, and their desire for political self-government, strong enough to say that there is a Baloch national movement. The dissertation serves several purposes. It fills a gap in our knowledge of Baloch nationalism in Pakistan and Iran and explores in detail its development in the 1920-80 period. By adopting a comparative approach it contributes to a better understanding of sub-national movements in both countries. The main approach to the study is historical; using primary and secondary sources, it describes and analyses the foundations, evolution, dynamics and implications of Baloch nationalism.

description: Materials that exhibit zero thermal expansion have numerous applications, ranging from everyday ceramic hobs to telescope mirrors to devices in optics and micromechanics. These materials include glass ceramics containing crystal phases with negative thermal expansion in at least one crystallographic direction, such as Ba1-xSrxZn2-2yMg2ySi2O7 solid solutions. However, the volume increase associated with the martensitic phase transformation in these crystals often hinders their use as zero thermal expansion materials at operating temperatures near the transition temperature Tt. Here, an approach to rapidly predict Tt of such materials as a function of chemical composition based on a combination of density functional theory simulations and experiments has been developed and applied to Ba1-xSrxZn2-2yMg2ySi2O7. Its central element is the modeling of free energy as a function of temperature and chemical composition using a composition-dependent Debye model augmented by an empirical correction, which incorporates the effects of anharmonic lattice vibrations. This approach provides Tt predictions with an estimated uncertainty of about 100 K, which is similar to the accuracy of computationally much more demanding simulations of polymorphous phase transitions. In addition, this approach allows computationally efficient determination of the chemical compositions at which the Ba1-xSrxZn2-2yMg2ySi2O7 phase with the desired thermal properties will be formed during synthesis, facilitating the targeted design of zero thermal expansion materials.
title: The Communist resistance movement in war-torn Guangdong, China, 1937-1945.

description: This doctoral dissertation traces the origins of the East River and the Hainan Base Areas, which were established by the Chinese Communist Party in Guangdong during the Anti-Japanese War (1937-45) and explains why they failed to achieve the kind of dramatic expansion as did their northern counterparts. As the case of the East River Base Area demonstrates, the major problem which confronted the Party was the limited scope of Japanese occupation. The absence of widespread political anarchy on the Guangdong mainland did not only trigger much initial debate among Party leaders over the possibility of guerrilla mobilisation but also imposed severe constraints on local attempts to construct Communist bases. In Hainan, although the political-military situation was more favourable, the Party's plan of developing the island into a Communist stronghold in South China still ended up in a merely theoretical construct. Among those important factors which contributed to its frustration were inadequate resources at the Party's disposal, the loss of radio communication between Hainan and the Party Centre in Yan'an, the intense Japanese "mopping-up" campaigns and the island's age-long Li-Han racial conflict. It was not until mid-1944 that the Japanese Ichigo offensive created in Guangdong an environment conducive to the reduplication of the Communist expansion in the north. Unfortunately, this extensive enemy occupation came to the province too late and was too short. Japan's sudden surrender in August 1945 thwarted Mao Zedong's ambitious efforts of combining the Communist bases in Central and South China. By examining the reasons for the underdevelopment of the two southern bases, this study raises some important questions about the Communist wartime movement such as the limits of Mao's model of base construction and the need of a dynamic balance between central supervision and local initiatives for achieving the Communist revolution.

description: Hoplodrina ambigua D. & S. AND OTHER Lepidoptera Noctuidae IN ARTICHOKE FIELDS IN APULIA

Lepidoptera Noctuidae are found in artichoke fìeld from early October to late March near Bari {Apulia, Southern Italy). During three years of observations, has been acquired that the Iarvae damaging the leaves only, belong to the following species: Autographa gamma L., Chrysodeixis chalcites Esp. and Trichoplusia ni Hb., 88.3%, 7.0% and 4.7% respectively on the amount of the larvae collected. Infested plants has been 55% on average (with 1-2 larvae for each plant); the damage has been slight.

The larvae that seriously damaged the centrai rosette and the heads mostly beiong to the following species: Noctua pronuba L., Peridroma saucia Hb., Hoplodrina ambigua D. & S. and other species at the rate of 10-51-26.3 and 12.7% respectively on the amount of the collected Iarvae; the damage is heavy. The percentuage of infested plants varied during the course of the year andover three years of observations from a minimum of 18-19% in January, February andMarch to a maximum of 81% in November. On each piant, 3-8 larvae has been found.

Brief description and bio-ethology of N. pronuba, P. saucia and H. ambigua larvae is reported.

Chemical contro! is difficult due to the posìtion of the Iarvae within the centrai rosette and because the time of treatment coincides with the harvest time.

This is the first report of H. ambigua as harmful species to an agricultural crop.

In Puglia sulla coltura del carciofo, dall'inizio di ottobre a fine marzo, si rinvengono larve di Lepidotteri Nottuidi che, con la loro attività trofica, ne danneggiano le foglie, la rosetta centrale e i capolini.

Sulle foglie sono presenti in numero esiguo (1-2 per pianta) larve delle seguenti specie: Autographa gamma L. (88,3%), Chrysodeixis chalcites Esp. (7,0%) e Trichoplusia ni Hb. (4,7%). L'infestazione interessa in media il 55% delle piante, ma i danni sono di lieve entità.

Nella rosetta centrale sono presenti, sempre frammiste e in numero elevato (3-8 per pianta), larve delle seguenti specie: Noctua pronuba L. (10%), Peridroma saucia Hb. (51 % ), Hoplodrina ambigua D . & S. (26,3%), altre specie (12,7 % ); esse, alimentandosi della rosetta centrale e dei capolini, arrecano gravi danni. Le percentuali di piante infestate rilevate sono risultate variabili durante l'anno e nei tre anni di indagine, da un minimo del 18-19% (in gennaio-febbraio-marzo) a un massimo dell'81% (in novembre).

Sono riportate notizie sulla bio-etologia di N. pronuba, P. saucia e H. ambigua e brevi descrizioni delle loro larve.

Il controllo chimico risulta difficile e per la posizione delle larve, protette nella rosetta centrale, e per i tempi di intervento che coincidono con il periodo di raccolta dei capolini.

La H. ambigua è segnalata per la prima volta dannosa a una coltura agraria.

Mortality caused by Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes) in overwintering populations of Xanthogaleruca (= Galerucella) luteola Müll. (Coleoptera:Chrysomelidae)

description: Observations made during the autumn and winther months of 1984-1986 in Apulia (Southern Italy) indicate that Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. (Deuteromycotina: Hypho- mycetes) is the only but very important factor of mortality of Xanthogaleruca (= Galerucella) luteola Muli. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) overwintering as adults under the bark of Eucalyptus and grape-vines near the elm trees.

The mortality rate of adults on the Eucalyptus reached the leve! of 86.98% in February of 1986 and 69.62% on grape-vine in that same period.

The specific character of bark on the Eucalyptus trees provides more favourable microclimatic conditions for the survival and development of B. bassiana while the higher populations of insects favour the spread of infection.

In Puglia, durante i mesi autunno-invernali del 1984-1986, sono stati individuati gruppi di adulti di Xanthogaleruca (= Galerucella) luteola Miill. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) svernanti sotto il ritidoma di eucalitti e viti in prossimità di olmi, uccisi dalla Beauveria bassiana Vuill. (Bals.) (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes) in due differenti biotopi (eucalitteto e vigneto).

La mortalità del Crisomelide è andata crescendo raggiungendo 1'86,98% nel febbraio 1985 nell'eucalitteto, ed il 69 ,62 % nello stesso periodo nel vigneto.

Questo sarebbe spiegabile con il fatto che le particolari condizioni microclimatiche sotto il ritidoma delle piante ospiti caratterizzate da una U.R. elevata ed il sovrappopolamento degli adulti favorirebbero la diffusione del patogeno causando elevata mortalità.

Nei biotopi esaminati la B. bassiana è risultata essere l'unico fungo patogeno della X. luteola rappresentando uno dei fattori naturali di mortalità più importanti tra le popolazioni svernanti della X. luteola.
