The degree to which females discriminated against males lacking hairpencils depended on the experimental protocol. When females were placed with males before scotophase onset, they tended to evade repeatedly and/or terminate genital contact with hairpencil-less males before eventually copulating, although this tendency was not statistically significant. When males were introduced after females had initiated calling, females refused hairpencil-less males significantly more often than intact ones. The incidence of copulation by hairpencil-less males was also lower than that of intact males, significantly so in one of the two populations tested. Neither copulation duration nor the dimensions of the cuticular portion of the spermatophore were correlated with the presence of hairpencils. Yet in all cases, females that mated with hairpencil-less males were more fecund and laid more fertile eggs than those mated to intact males. Hairpencil eversion could not be seen during courtship, nor did females show any obvious change in calling behaviour in response to scent from a freshly excised hairpencil. However, gas chromatographic analysis of hairpencils showed a decrease in titre of two scent components, acetic acid and benzaldehyde, just before the moment of genital contact between male and female, indicating that the pheromone was released at this time. These results suggest that P . unipuncta male pheromone facilitates female acceptance of males. The hypothesis that male pheromone carries information about the quality of a courting male is discussed in relation to recent work on arctiids, nymphalids, pierids and pyralids. An appendix of lepidopteran species possessing male scent structures is included.","PeriodicalId":358634,"journal":{"name":"Memoirs of the Entomological Society of Canada","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123477970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pathogens with potential for use against grasshoppers and locusts vary widely in the ease with which they can be mass-produced. Obligate pathogens such as grasshopper entomopoxviruses, mermithid nematodes and Nosema locustae Canning are currently restricted to culture in living systems. Liquid fermentation is usually employed for the production of non-obligate pathogens such as bacteria, some fungi and nematodes, but in some cases the propagules produced in liquid culture are not amenable to formulation and application. Conidia of hyphomycete fungi can be produced on the surface of liquid media, on solid substrates or in diphasic systems. Production on solid substrates has been adopted for production of steinernematid and heterorhabditid nematodes and some fungi. Diphasic liquid-solid fermentation combines the benefits of both systems and is used mostly for mass-production of hyphomycete fungi such as Metarhizium flavoviride Gams & Rozsypal and Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin. Increased commercial interest in biological control is likely to accelerate the development of improved and more economical methods for the mass-production of microbial control agents.","PeriodicalId":358634,"journal":{"name":"Memoirs of the Entomological Society of Canada","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131837834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Six species groups are defined, but only the four Nearctic ones are described. The species groups proposed are the ater , deficiens , litoralis , membraciphagus , straeleni , and sulphuripes groups. The ater group is divided into the morrilli , ater ( s . s .), and bucculentus subgroups. Keys are provided to distinguish the species groups, and females of the sulphuripes - and ater -group species. Twenty-four species are recognized in the sulphuripes and ater groups for America north of Mexico. Eight species are recognized in the sulphuripes group, of which californicus , koebelei , maga , mexicanus , rivalis , and utahensis are redescribed. Two species, floridensis and lissonotus , are described as new. One new synonymy is proposed: titillatus is considered a junior synonym of utahensis . Sixteen species are recognized in the ater group, of which ashmeadi , capitatus , dolichocerus , fasciatus , latipennis , morrilli , novifasciatus , ovicenatus , and triguttatus are redescribed. Seven species, bucculentus , enicmophilus , flagellatus , impar , incomptus , inexpectatus , and inflatiscapus , are described as new. Two new synonymies are proposed: maximus is considered a junior synonym of latipennis , and marilandicus a junior synonym of dolichocerus .
