Non-random ‘morphing’ of the visible phenotype has generally been associated with changes in response to the environment. This article describes a previously unrecognised class of colour change which occurs as a result of endogenous rather than exogenous changes: specifically, moulting. The tomocerid springtail Lepidophorella australis dramatically changes its colour phenotype from silver-grey to yellow and back again during its moult cycle. These colour changes are caused by alternations between structural colouration (conferred by its ‘clothing’ of scales) and cuticular pigmentation during ecdysis (scale loss) and post-ecdysis (scale regeneration). Although the rate and frequency of change is affected by external factors related to development (e.g. temperature), it is a fixed component of life history. The extent of the difference between colour phenotypes means that they produce distinctly different visual (and presumably, therefore, ecological) signals. It is hypothesised that bright yellow subscale pigmentation may operate as a signal of aposematism when L australis are vulnerable to predation as a result of reduced activity and absent cuticular scales.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"40 1","pages":"22 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2016.1260420","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42974291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the seasonality of Drosophila, Scaptodrosophila and associated hymenopterous parasitoids in Canterbury by using traps baited with banana, orange, mushrooms, other fruits and vegetables and vinegar at two locations, New Brighton and Lincoln. From 176 sampling events, seven species of drosophilid were collected: Drosophila busckii; D. funebris; D. hydei; D. immigrans; D. pseudoobscura; D. simulans; and Scaptodrosophila enigma. Seven species of adult parasitoid wasps were also recorded in the traps: the braconids Dinotrema longworthi, Aphaereta aotea, Asobara tabida, Aspilota andyaustini; the ichneumonid Campoplex sp.; and two encyrtids, including Tachinaephagus zealandicus. The more abundant drosophilid species were found throughout the year, with fewer species occurring in the winter months (June–August). Parasitoids tended to be found more often in the warmer months, with only one specimen (of Aspilota andyaustini) collected between June and October. All seven species of drosophilids were obtained from traps with banana and mushroom baits. Mushroom proved valuable for obtaining parasitoids, with five species being recorded on this bait. Although the wasps were all captured along with adult Drosophila, it is believed only one species, Asobara tabida, is a confirmed drosophilid parasitoid. Further field study, on a wider geographic scale, in natural and modified habitats, is required to provide additional information on the phenology, biogeography and parasitoid–host interactions of drosophilids in New Zealand.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"40 1","pages":"15 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13235818.2017.1307097","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45289213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The remainder (35%–6%) were P. calceolariae, although a few P. viburni were occasionally found. Traps baited with newly developed synthetic pheromone of P. calceolariae were deployed in orchards in 2011 and attracted females of the mealybug parasitoid Alamella mira. The mealybug parasitoid complex in Nelson apple orchards was assessed over an 8-week period in autumn during 2012 and 2013 by deploying sentinel mealybugs on sprouting potatoes. Potatoes were infested with P. longispinus (in 2012 and 2013) and P. calceolariae (2012 only). They were deployed in orchards to capture parasitoids that were active during the trapping period. The sentinel mealybug-infested potatoes were placed in delta traps in the orchards for about 2 weeks and then retrieved and held in a laboratory in Auckland for 4–6 weeks. Parasitoid mummies were collected and emerging adults identified to species. In 2012, four species (Tetracnemoidea peregrina, T. brevicornis, Coccophagus gurneyi and Ophelosia charlesi) were recovered from three orchards near Motueka. In 2013, three species (T. peregrina, C. gurneyi and Gyranusoidea advena) were recovered. Monitoring methods appeared to influence the complex of parasitoids recovered. A combination of monitoring methods, including possible kairomonal responses of mealybug parasitoids to host pheromones and rearing parasitoids from fruit and foliage naturally infested with mealybugs, may provide the best assessment of mealybug parasitoid diversity and abundance in orchards.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"40 1","pages":"1 - 6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2017.1306901","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43887224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We recorded the adult Hymenoptera obtained in 30 minute hand searches in strandlines at 36 sites at Christchurch and Banks Peninsula over the course of 3 years. Twenty-five species were recorded, consisting of four species of ants, one sawfly, one bee and 19 parasitoid wasps. The most commonly encountered species, in terms of both numbers collected and sites recorded, was Kleidotoma subantarcticana (Figitidae: Eucoilinae). Trichomalopsis sp. (Pteromalidae), two species of Spilomicrus (Diapriidae) and Trichopria sp. (Diapriidae) were also relatively widespread. There were no statistical differences in the number of Hymenoptera species recorded on sandy, shingle or boulder beaches on Banks Peninsula. Adult wasps were collected in all calendar months, although there was a decrease in occurrence in autumn and early winter. Hand searching proved a valuable method to obtain adult specimens of wasps for information on biogeography and seasonality. However, the rearing of wasps from different species of dipteran larvae or pupae is required to provide details of host species usage and attribute specific ecological functions of parasitoids within the strandline habitat.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"39 1","pages":"117 - 128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2016.1215034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58900482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the genus Costelytra Given 1952 was described, with Rhisotrogus zealandicus White 1846 as its type species, Given’s description of this species was based on 400 specimens collected at different localities in New Zealand as White’s syntypes were not available to him. Later, Given (1960) examined one of the syntypes, stating that it was identical to specimens he used to describe C. zealandica, but a lectoype was not designated at this time. So, the aims of this paper are: (i) to provide a detailed description of the external morphology, mouthparts and male genitalia based on the syntypes of R. zealandicus; (ii) to compare these type specimens with the description by Given (1952); (iii) to compare the syntypes to establish if they are conspecific; (iv) to designate an appropriate lectotype and (v) to study a representative series of C. zealandica collected from throughout New Zealand to establish the status of the taxon currently known as C. zealandica. Differences between the syntype specimens, and Given’s (1952) description of the New Zealand specimens were found. In addition, White’s syntypes are not conspecific. As a result Costelytra giveni n. sp. is established and described to represent the species currently known as the ‘New Zealand grass grub’. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:F6CB0129-5ACE-4DE1-B76C-95CEE3AFDEEC","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"39 1","pages":"129 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2016.1230254","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58900249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 30-minute laboratory bioassays, predation rates per individual mite were low if late instar psyllid nymphs were ‘braced’ or ‘sealed’ tightly to a leaf, with only one nymph from twelve being successfully attacked and eaten in the presence of psyllid sugars (wax covered honeydew). However predation rates were approximately six times higher if the nymph was detached from the leaf and inverted. The presence of psyllid sugars had an impact on predation rates because mites would probe or investigate, and often feed from these sugars, sometimes leading to the immediate cessation of the mite’s investigation of the psyllid. Overall, the results of this investigation confirm that these mites consume late instar psyllid nymphs but may need to be at high densities before substantial reductions in psyllids occurred. The mites may be a more effective predator of psyllid eggs or younger instars and this predatory behaviour warrants further investigation.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"39 1","pages":"110 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2016.1218525","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58900494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
