Abstract:
... Sex pheromones are known for only a few major click beetle (Coleoptera: Elateridae) pests in North America. These pheromones could be used to monitor, as well as control, adult beetles. Our objective was to identify the sex pheromone of female Selatosomus aeripennis destructor (Brown), a predominant elaterid pest species in farmland in the Canadian Prairie provinces. Headspace volatiles from a gro ...

Preliminary field observations at our study site showed strong differences in the infestation level of four varieties of maize by wireworms. We raised and tested the hypothesis that these maize varieties have differential susceptibility/attraction to wirewo ...

Abstract:
... We presented a revised taxonomy of two allied species, Limoniscus mitokiiKishii, 2004 and L. ogatai (Kishii, 1985), from western Japan. Through this revision, we found a new species, L. spelunca sp. n., from the type series of L. ogatai. The new species is different in its frons, antennae, prosternum, and aedeagus compared with L. mitokii and L. ogatai. We also reviewed the current understanding o ...

... Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is an important field crop grown in southern Florida. White grubs (Scarabaeidae) and wireworms (Elateridae) historically and currently are important soil insect pests of the crop. Twenty sugarcane fields on muck soil (Histosols) were sampled for soil insect pests during 2015 and 2016. No new unknown soil insect pests were found. The recently established sugarcane root we ...
