Stylopized hornets (Vespa, Vespidae) as preferred hosts of the parasitic mite Charletonia southcotti (Erythraeidae, Acari)

AbstractA study was made of the poplar-and-willow borer, Sternochetus (= Cryptorhynchus) lapathi (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in British Columbia between 1959 and 1964. The borer occurred principally south of 52 degrees north latitude. Willows were the preferred hosts. Ornamentals, hybrids in commercial plantings, and natural growing trees were attacked. The life cycle of the insect on southern Vancouver Island lasted up to 3 years; overwintering took place in early instar and adult stages. Eggs were laid in the bark; larvae mined first in the bark and then in the wood, where pupation took place. Few parasites and predators were found. DDT, dieldrin, and BHC killed adults; lindane (0.5% water emulsion), applied in the spring, caused larval mortality up to 96%.

First Time

Leptotrombidium subquadratum larvae were collected for the first time in 1994 from dogs in Bloemfontein. The larvae have been collected annually, during the summer months, over a period of 6-7 years. Previously the only known hosts were scrub hare (Lepus saxatilis) (locality unknown) and short-snouted elephant shrew (Elephantulus brachyrhynchus) (Kruger National Park). These mites cause severe itching and dermatitis in humans and dogs.

Preferred Hosts

This paper presents the results of studying the distribution of a potentially hazardous invasive phytophagous insect Metcalfa pruinosa Say, also known as citrus flatid plant hopper, in Krasnodar functional urban areas. We have determined orchard plants which are preferred hosts of this species including some conifers. Also white sticky traps were tested as an instrument for monitoring the plant hopper
