This spccies is extlemely similar to C. maxillosus, and its American representative. The following circumstances principally distinguish them. The anterior angles of the prothorax in C. maxillosus are thinly cloathed with shortish black hairs; in C. villosus, these hairs are cinereous, longer, mole numerous, and cover a larger portion of the angle; in the former, the band of the elytra is whiter and wider than in the latter; in the former also the back of the abdomen, especially the third and fourth segments, is mottled with cinereous hairs; in the latter the second and third have each a cinereous band interupted in the middle; again the four first ventral segments in C. maxillosus are thickly covered with decumbent cinereous hairs, with each a lateral black spot on both sides, while in C. villosus

The ability of isolates of Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma spp. to control citrus black spot (CBS) was investigated in ´Natal´ sweet orange orchards. The first experiment was conducted during the 2001/2002 season and four isolates of B. subtilis (ACB-AP3, ACB-69, ACB-72 and ACB-77), applied every 28 days, alone or in combination were tested and compared with fungicide treatments. Two other experiments were carried out during the 2002/2003 season, where the same isolates of Bacillus and two isolates of Trichoderma (ACB-14 and ACB-40) were tested being applied every 28 days in the second experiment, and every 15 days in the third experiment. In the first experiment, the treatment with ACB-69 differed statistically from the control, but did not differ from other biological control agents or mixture of Bacillus isolates. In the second experiment, the treatments with ACB-69 and ACB-AP3 resulted in smaller disease index compared with the control treatment. However, this result was not repeated in the third experiment, where the isolates were applied every 15 days. Disease severity was high in both evaluated seasons and the fungicide treatment was the most effective for disease control.

A new species of sardine, Sardinella electra, is described on the basis of 18 specimens collected from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan. The new species closely resembles Sardinella hualiensis (Chu & Tsai 1958) in that both species have a caudal fin with black tips, a black spot on the dorsal-fin origin, and both have lateral scales with centrally continuous or overlapping longitudinal striae. However, the new species is distinguished from S. hualiensis by its higher total gill-raker counts on the first, second, third and fourth gill arches, and on the posterior face of the third gill arch (105–121, 107–120, 88–104, 65–82, and 25–31, respectively, vs. 87–107, 83–105, 67–90, 53–69, and 13–27), and in having scales with few perforations and lacking pores posteriorly (vs. scales with numerous perforations and pores on their posterior margins).

In 3 consecutive years, preharvest applications of Bacillus subtilis field sprays integrated with copper oxychloride or benomyl consistently reduced severity of avocado black spot (BS), caused by Pseudocercospora purpurea at Omega, Republic of South Africa. Control was equal to that obtained with copper oxychloride or benomyl-copper oxychloride in the first and third years of spraying at Omega. In the second year, only the integrated treatment controlled BS, while copper oxychloride proved ineffective. The antagonist was applied on its own or integrated with copper oxychloride sprays at two other geographically distinct locations, Westfalia Estate and Waterval. The integrated and biological treatments at these localities were less effective than copper oxychloride sprays in controlling BS disease. Integrated control was more effective than B. subtilis sprays at Westfalia. On continuation of the biological spray program at Waterval for an additional three seasons, control was as effective as copper oxychloride in the last 2 years of spraying. Sooty blotch (SB), caused by an Akaropeltopsis sp., was reduced by the integrated treatment at Omega during the second season and at Westfalia during the first season. Although the two fungicide treatments reduced SB at Omega in the first season, copper oxychloride increased it above that of the control in the third season. Only the copper oxychloride treatment reduced SB at Waterval in the third season, while the B. subtilis treatment increased disease above that of the control in the fourth season.
