Native rusts include P. irrequiseta on Centaurea americana and the following taxa on Cirsium: P. laschii var. laschii and var. xerophila var. nov.; P. altissimorum sp. nov. and var. horriduli var. nov.; P. californica and var. deserticola var. nov.; P. inclusa and vars. flodmanii, boreohesperia, brevifolii, and mexicana vars. nov. Introduced rusts include P. bardani on Arctium minus, P. carthami on Carthamus tinctorius, P. acroptili on Acroptilon (Centaurea) repens, P. centaureae var. centaureae on Centaurea nigra, P. cyani var. cyani and var. sublevis var. nov. on Centaurea cyanus, P. cnici var. cnici on Cirsium vulgare, and P. punctiformis on Cirsium arvense. The origins and relationships of the American Cirsium rusts are discussed in relation to those of the host plants. A hitherto disregarded adaptation to arid climates, the evolution of very fine and close urediniospore echinulations, is described and exemplified; it is suspected to function through improved retention of spores in the sorus in dry weather when susceptible young leaves are unavailable. Biological observations suggest means of limiting the spread of rusts of economic hosts and promoting those of some weedy hosts.

AbstractIn the field in Europe, Lenta cyanella (L.) has been reported to breed only on Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop.) whereas in the laboratory it breeds on species in the genera Cirsium, Carduus, and Silybum. In one laboratory choice test, L. cyanella preferred Cirsium drummondii T.&G. over Canada thistle. In one field-cage test, it concentrated feeding and oviposition on one C. drummondii which thrived in preference to three other C. drummondii and Canada thistle which grew poorly. In a second field-cage test, Canada thistle predominated and L. cyanella fed and oviposited most on Canada thistle although its intrinsic preference for C. drummondii was still apparent. A review of the field host-plants of three accidentally introduced thistle-feeding insects, Orellia ruficauda (F.), Cleonus piger Scop, and Cassida rubiginosa Müller, and the introduced biocontrol agent Rhinocyllus conicus Froel., showed that these insects, which have a wider range of hosts than has L. cyanella, concentrate breeding on introduced species of Cynareae (Compositae). Based on this evidence, it is extrapolated that L. cyanella will exploit Canada thistle and will not damage populations of native Cirsium species when established in North America.

AbstractThe taxonomy of the Nearctic genus Ophraella Wilcox is revised. Data for all known immature stages are included. Ophraella integra (LeConte) is synonymized with O. notulata (Fabricius). Ophraella dilatipennis (Jacoby) is transferred to the genus Neolochmaea Laboissière.Thirteen species are recognized, of which 6 are new : O. arctica, californiana, communa, macrovittata, nuda, and pilosa. The distribution and host plants of species are as follows : O. americana, eastern North America, on Solidago spp.; O. pilosa, transcontinental along the Canadian border, on Aster, primarily A. macrophyllus; O. cribrata, coast to coast in the United States, on Solidago of the subgenus Virgaurea; O. conferta in northeastern states, on Solidago with preference for S. canadensis and S. rugosa; O. sexvittata in southeastern states, on Solidago spp.; O. notulata in eastern US and Gulf states to Mexico, on Iva oraria; O. notata in eastern portion of the United States, on Eupatorium perfoliatum; O. macrovittata in the Gulf states, host plant unknown; O. communa in North America and Mexico, on Ambrosia artemisiifolia; O. bilineata in the Canadian Prairies and the bordering states, on Chrysopsis villosa; O. californiana in California and Mexico, on Artemisia Douglasiana; O. nuda in Alberta, host plant unknown; and O. arctica in tundra zone, on Solidago multiradiata scopulorum.The life cycles of most species are still unknown but most species probably have only 1 generation per year. The eggs are laid in clusters on the under surface of young leaves. The larvae skeletonize young leaves and live exposed. Before pupation, the larva spins a loose cocoon and attaches it to a leaf tip. Pupation lasts 1–2 weeks. The newly hatched adults are active on host plants until the early fall, when they enter the leaf litter for overwintering.

In the late 1970s, Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae), was targeted for classical biological control in Florida because its invasive properties (see Host Plants) are consistent with escape from natural enemies (Williams 1954), and there are no native Schinus spp. in North America. The lack of native close relatives should minimize the risk of damage to non-target plants from introduced biological control agents (Pemberton 2000). [...]

AbstractChaetocnema concinna (Marsham, 1802), a European flea beetle, is reported for the first time from Canada. Preliminary collection data indicate that it may feed on the same host plants as in Europe. It has been collected to date in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Maine.
