First record of Phyllonorycter maestingella (Müller, 1764) in Belarus

Inspection of green stands in order to identify representatives of the genus Phyllonorycter Hübner, 1822 (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae, Lithocolletinae), which damage woody plants in Belarus, revealed a new species for the fauna – beech midget (Phyllonorycter maestingella (Müller, 1764)). In 2014 we discovered this new invasive insect pest of the beeches (Fagus spp.) in Belarus for the first time. During 2014–2018 leaf mines of Ph. maestingella were recorded in 2 localities, Minsk and Brest, on 3 hostplant species, Fagus sylvatica Linnaeus, 1753, Fagus grandifolia Ehrhart, 1788, and Fagus orientalis Lipsky (1898). It is important to note that American beech (F. grandifolia) is recorded as a new host plant for Ph. maestingella. A list of points of registrations is given. This species of Lithocolletinae is alien to the fauna, since all representatives of the genus Fagus L. are introduced into Belarus.

A New Species

During a faunistic survey on eriophyoid mites associated with weeds in Golestan province of Iran, four eriophyoid species were collected. A new species, Aculops hyperisaemum sp. nov., was found on Hypericum androsaemum L. (Hypericaceae) and herein described and illustrated. Paraphytoptus paradoxus Nalepa, 1896, Aceria lamii (Liro, 1943) and Aceria verbenacae de Lillo et al., 2017, were found respectively on Artemisia absinthium L. (Asteraceae), Lamium album L. and Salvia nemorosa L. (Lamiaceae) and are reported for the first time in Iran. Aculops hyperisaemum sp. nov. and A. lamii were vagrant on the underside of the leaves of their host plants and no symptoms were detected. Aceria lamii is redescribed using modern microscopy and terminology. Paraphytoptus paradoxus was vagrant on the leaf underside and caused discoloration of the leaves; this is the first record of Paraphytoptus from Iran. Aceria verbenacae induced erinea on leaves, petioles, stems and flowers on a new host plant species.

A new species, Glyptapanteles hypermnestrae Gupta and Pereira, is described from Maharashtra, India, and comparedwith closely allied species. This new species was bred from parasitized larvae of Elymnias hypermnestra (Linnaeus) (Lep-idoptera: Nymphalidae). In addition to this, two hymenopteran parasitoids, Apanteles folia Nixon (Braconidae: Microgas-trinae) and Brachymeria indica (Krausse) (Chalcididae), are for first time reported parasitizing larvae of Arhopalaamantes (Hewitson) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) and pupae of Pareronia valeria (Cramer) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) respectively.

Diarimella laurentidae, a new species occurring on dead bark and decorticated twigs of American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.), is reported from the Muir's Wood ecological reserve, located in the centre of the Haut-Saint-Laurent region in the province of Quebec. Diarimella laurentidae is characterized by stromatic, pulvinate, black, setose fructifications composed of a basal stroma of textura angularis, a brown peripheral wall of textura porrecta, conidiomatal setae of two types, and unicellular multisetulate conidia. Its relationships with described Diarimella species is discussed. This is the first report of a species of Diarimella from North America.Key words: Diarimella laurentidae, new fungus species, coelomycete, Fagus grandifolia.
