AbstractThe genus Lygus Hahn is revised for North America. The new synonyms (to the left of the equal sign) are: ceanothi var. deliticus Knight = humeralis Knight; convexicollis var. coloratus Knight and dolichorhynchus Stanger = convexicollis Reuter; nigritus Knight = ravus Stanger; brindleyi and fultoni Knight = robustus (Uhler); superiorensis Knight = columbiensis Knight; frisoni Knight = rubroclarus Knight; nigrosignatus Knight = elisus Van Duzee; ultranubilus Knight and epelys Hussey = nubilus Van Duzee; and nubilosus Knight and usingeri Stanger = nubilatus Knight. The 34 species known to occur in North America are: abroniae Van Duzee, aeratus Knight, atriflavus Knight, atritibialis Knight, borealis (Kelton), bradleyi Knight, ceanothi Knight, columbiensis Knight, convexicollis Reuter, desertinus Knight, elisus Van Duzee, hesperus Knight, humeralis Knight, lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), mexicanus Kelton, nigropallidus Knight, nubilatus Knight, nubilus Van Duzee, oregonae Knight, perplexus Stanger, plagiatus (Uhler), potentillae Kelton, ravus Stanger, robustus (Uhler), rolfsi Knight, rubroclarus Knight, rubrosignatus Knight, rufidorsus (Kelton), shulli Knight, solidaginis (Kelton), striatus Knight, unctuosus (Kelton), vanduzeei Knight, and varius Knight.Species are redescribed, seasonal variations in size and colour are discussed, and distribution maps and host plants are included. The adult males are illustrated and a key for their identification is given.

Abstract We report here the pheromone of Megacyllene antennata (White) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), a species native to southwestern North America whose larvae feed in woody tissues of mesquite (Prosopis species; Fabaceae). Adult males sex-specifically produced a blend of eight common natural products, including the monoterpene alcohol (S)-α-terpineol; the monoterpenes (S)-limonene and terpinolene; the aromatic alcohols (R)-1-phenylethanol and 2-phenylethanol; and (E)-2-hexenol, (E)-2-hexenal, and 1-hexanol. Individual males produced the components in varying amounts, but (S)-α-terpineol and (E)-2-hexenal were always present and together constituted the majority of the blend. A synthetic reconstruction of the complete blend attracted both males and females of M. antennata during field bioassays, as did all subsets of the blend that included (S)-α-terpineol and (E)-2-hexenol. Adults were most strongly attracted to blends of the latter two compounds when in ratios approaching parity. Neither of the compounds were present in the bouquet of volatiles emitted by host plants of the larvae.

The 197 species (including 2 new species) of the Nearctic leafhopper genus Eratoneura are reviewed. Eratoneura betulae sp.n. from New Brunswick (Canada) and E. mcateei sp.n. from the central and northeastern USA are described as new. In addition, 123 new synonyms are recognized and a lectotype is designated for Typhlocyba hartii Gillette. A key is provided for identification of males. All known species are illustrated, and data on their distributions and host plants are summarized. All species of Eratoneura are native to temperate North America, where they feed and oviposit mainly on woody deciduous trees and shrubs

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.

AbstractThe systematics of Acalymma sensu stricto of North America including Mexico are revised. Acalymma sensu stricto is defined and distinguished from the other species groups of Acalymma. Sixteen species are discussed including four new species: A. blomorum, A. palomarense, A. invenustum, and A. luridifrons all from Mexico. Three new subspecies of A. blandulum (LeConte) are described: blandulum (LeConte) new status, nigriventre, and yucatanense. Acalymma coruscum costaricense Bechyné is placed as a synonym of A. innubum (Fabricius). Keys are presented to all species and subspecies. Habitus and male genitalia drawings are given for all species and distribution maps are given where appropriate.
