Acmaeodera (Ptychomus) kubani sp. n. from Algeria, Libya and Egypt together with A. (P.) saudita subsp. Saudi Arabia are described, illustrated compared closely related species. Species-groups arabica Gory, 1840, polita (Klug, 1829) (with foudrasii Solier, 1833 subgroups) argodi Kerremans, 1907 established within subgenus Ptychomus Marseul, 1866; diagnostic characters composition of these groups discussed.
Acmaeodera (Acmaeodera) strumiai sp. nov. from Oman, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Mauritania, A. (Acmaeotethya) dhofarica Oman are described, illustrated compared with related species.
Invasive alien insects cause serious ecological and economical losses around the world. Here, we review bionomics, modern ranges (and their dynamics), distribution pathways, monitoring, control measures of 14 insect species known to be important invasive emerging tree pests in forest urban ecosystems Russia: Leptoglossus occidentalis (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae), Halyomorpha halys Pentatomidae), Corythucha arcuata Tingidae), Agrilus fleischeri, A. mali, planipennis, Lamprodila (Palmar)...
This study provides the most detailed description of immature stages Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire to date and illustrates suites larval characters useful in distinguishing among Curtis species instars. Immature eight were examined imaged using light scanning electron microscopy. For A. all preimaginal (egg, instars I-IV, prepupa pupa) described. A combination 14 character states identified that serve identify larvae planipennis. Our results support segregation into two informal assemblages...
Buprestidae (Coleoptera: Buprestoidea) is one of the three wood-borer beetle groups major phytosanitary interest worldwide, together with Cerambycidae and Scolytinae (Curculionidae). As in other families, some buprestid species have been unintentionally or intentionally introduced around world, cases causing significant environmental economic damage invaded territories. Despite relevance Buprestidae, information regarding identity exotic buprestids, their biogeographic areas origin,...
In the Kazakh part of Tarbagatai range, 44 species and subspecies jewel beetles from 13 genera, 10 tribes 5 subfamilies were identified. Of these, three species, Anthaxia godeti Gory & Laporte, 1839, Sphenoptera egena Mannerheim, 1952 Trachys fragariae Brisout de Barneville, 1874, are reported for first time Kazakhstan. According to richness at subfamily level, distributed as follows: Julodinae (1 species), Polycestinae (4), Chrysochroinae (13), Buprestinae (2), Agrilinae (24). At genus...
Emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, native to East Asia, is an invasive pest of in North America and European Russia. This quarantine species a threat trees all over Europe. Survey ten provinces Russia 2019–2020 showed that EAB had spread faster farther than was previously thought. The new infested sites were first detected St. Petersburg (110–120 km from the EU border: Estonia, Finland) Astrakhan Province (50 Kazakhstan border). current range Europe includes Luhansk Ukraine 18...
The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, is an invasive beetle of East Asian origin that has killed millions trees (Fraxinus spp.) in North America and Russia. In September 2020, EAB was detected Saint Petersburg, a notable event for the metropolitan city. aim present study to investigate occurrence ecology Petersburg. presence two distinct enclave populations revealed, each which has, most likely, been established through separate events “hitchhiking” via transport vehicles....
An annotated taxonomic catalogue of the jewel beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) Iran is given. Original descriptions and recent revisionary or data are included along with distribution, both within outside Iran, ecological host plant associations, junior synonyms, comments. A complete bibliography completes catalogue. In total 428 species 52 subspecies belonging to 6 subfamilies (Julodinae, Polycestinae, Galbellinae, Chrysochroinae, Buprestinae, Agrilinae), 20 tribes, 38 genera known from...
The xerophilous vegetation with characteristic insect assemblages is described in the main agricultural regions and native landscapes of Turkey. Long term intensive investigations documented vast biotic degradation soil (commonly referred to as desertification) by overgrazing, construction, recreation etc. Two types xeric landscape are under investigation: 1) natural highly specific deserts, semi-deserts, dry mountain slopes screes; 2) anthropogenic, newly emerged, floristically impoverished...
Emerald ash borer (EAB) Agrilus planipennis is native to East Asia and has recently become a devastating alien pest of trees in North America European Russia. There no doubt that the will spread other countries. Early detection identification this damaging crucial for minimizing its potential negative economic ecological impacts. are about 87 species genus Europe, but there guides identification, include species. We present here first guide distinguish emerald from similar based on easily...
Abstract Local differences in species richness and abundance of buprestid beetles were studied at the microsite “Evolution Canyon”, Lower Nahal Oren, Mt. Carmel, Israel, a model conceived for studying biodiversity evolution microcosm life nature. 39 collected microsite, was higher on more arid microclimatically stressful variable south-facing slope than milder, humid relatively homogeneous north-facing slope. The interslope significant five species. New larval host plants added nine species,...
Buprestidae is one of the hyperdiverse polyphagan beetle families, with about 520 genera and 15,000 species distributed worldwide (Bellamy & Volkovitsh 2016).Schizopodidae, sister group Buprestidae, had also been considered as a subfamily in by some researchers (e.g., Hołyński 1993, 2001).The internal classification has quite contentious, different authors proposed systems based on their understanding morphological characters Nelson 1981, Hołyń ski Kolibáč 2000, Bellamy 2003).The current...
Our goal is to analyze the known geographical ranges and diagnostic features of two potentially invasive Asian buprestid species: quarantine apple tree pest, Agrilus mali Matsumura, poplar pest A. fleischeri Obenberger. Based on examination museum collections literature sources, we compiled comprehensive databases records exact collecting sites for both species generated detailed maps their ranges. There are 51 documented localities in Russian Far East Siberia, Mongolia, China, Korean...
