The yellow spotted stink bug (YSSB), Erthesina fullo Thunberg, is one of the most widely distributed phytophagous insect pests in Asia. YSSB is highly polyphagous and in China it feeds on over 57 host plants in 29 families, including some economically important fruit crops such as kiwifruit, pear, peach, apple, and pomegranate. With a primarily r-selected life history strategy, reproductive diapause, aggregation behavior, wide host range, high dispersal capacity, and close association with human-modified ecosystems, YSSB is a potentially invasive species that poses significant biosecurity threats to other countries outside its native range. This review summarizes basic and applied knowledge on the biology, ecology, and management of YSSB in China, with specific emphasis on its life history, host range, damage and impacts on economically important horticulture crops, and integrated pest management (IPM) approaches. The insights from the Chinese literature on this pest will help the countries outside its native range to conduct appropriate biosecurity risk assessments, develop a sound surveillance program, and develop an emergency response plan before its invasion of new geographic areas.

New Host Records

Results from controlled inoculation experiments show that conifers of six genera (Abies, Larix, Picea, Pinus, Psendotsuga, and Tsuga) are susceptible to the poplar (Populus) rusts of western Canada. Twenty-one new host records are established. It is suggested that Melampsora albertensis Arth. be reduced to synonymy with M. medusae Thüm., because they appear to be indistinguishable from each other in morphology, life history, host range, and host reaction.

A New Species

The morphology and life history of a new species of insect-parasitic nematode, Neoplectana leucaniae are described. This nematode, which may be cultured on a veal pulp medium, was used in a number of experiments against larvae and adults of New Zealand Melolonthinae, and was found capable of parasitizing all test hosts used. Lack of persistence of the nematode in soil makes it unsuitable for use in the biological control of soil-inhabiting pest insects.
