Evaluation of the efficacy of two systemic soil drenching insecticides (thiamethoxam 25 % WG and imidacloprid 35 % SC) independently, and in combination with tree management (pruning) for the cont­rol of the WMS was conducted under field conditions in western Ethiopia in two locations in 2018 and 2019. Randomized complete block designs with three replications were used for the experiments. In the first site, all treatments resulted in scale populations that were significantly lower than the control (1086 crawlers and females per leaf). Thiamethoxam 25 % WG at 12 g/tree + pruning resulted in the lowest number of the WMS after the second treatment (43.5 per leaf) followed by thiamethoxam 25 % WG at 18 g/tree + pruning, which was statistically similar. In the second site, imidacloprid 35 % SC + thiamethoxam 25 % WG at 18 g/tree + pruning, resulted in the lowest mean number of the WMS (31.1 per leaf) followed by thiamethoxam 25 % WG at 12 g/tree + pruning (61.4 per leaf). This treatment also gave the highest percentage reduction in number of the WMS compared to the WMS counting before treatment application. This study has shown that use of systemic insecticides and pruning are promising control tactics for the WMS. Cost implications and effects of the insecticides on the natural enemy complex and residual toxicity in fruits need to be evaluated.\u0000To cite: Belay Habtegebriel, Dawit Melisie, Hunde Kidane, Teshale Daba & Ferdu Azerefegn. 2020.

It is dis­ tributed around the mediterranean sea in southern europe, north africa, the near east and the middle east (Balachowsky 1963), although the only avail able records from the near east are from turkey (western and south­western pro vinces) (gül­ Zümreoğlu 1972; Tuatay et al. 1972; Kısmalı 1973; Aslan et al. 2003). I failed to find any additional record of C. americana from the near east. C. americana is actively expanding its distribution to the north; it appeared in the UK in 1963, and is now considered to be established there (Johnson 1963; Halstead 1996; Barclay & Mann 2002; MacLeod 2002). In recent decades it has been recorded from Belgium, Germany, Switzerland (Kippenberg 2015), The Netherlands (Beenen & Winkelman 2001) and latvia (telnov et al. 1997; Bukejs & Telnov 2010). C. americana feeds and breeds mainly on the leaves of rose mary (Rosmarinus officinalis l.) and la­ ven der (Lavandula species), but also on thyme (Thymus spp.), sage (Salvia spp.), russian sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia Benth.), and possibly other plants in the Lamiaceae family (Balachowsky 1963; Bibolini 1964; Halstead 1996; Barclay & Mann 2002; MacLeod 2002; CABI 2016). C. americana is flightless and therefore restricted in its dispersal ability, but can be easily transported together with its host plants (MacLeod 2002). In the UK, C. americana is now considered a pest of la­ vender, rosemary and thyme (macleod 2002). the fauna of the Israeli Chrysomelinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) was sur­ veyed by friedman et al. (2005), summarizing around 80 years of intensive col­ lecting, based on the national Collection of Insects, the steinhardt museum of na tural History, Israel national Center for Biodiversity studies, Department of Zoo logy, tel aviv university (smnHtau). sixteen species of Chrysolina were re cor ded, not including C. americana. Chrysolina are mainly spectacular, large and colorful beetles, usually dwelling freely on their host plants (both larvae and adults), often easily collected or photographed by both professional and amateur en to mologists, and among the better studied and better known groups of beetles.","PeriodicalId":38793,"journal":{"name":"Israel Journal of Entomology","volume":"46 1","pages":"87-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71091573","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}

Several spondyliaspidines have been introduced to other continents, where some of them have become serious eucalypt pests (Quei roz et al. 2012). Most of these introductions are relatively recent and their spread is usually rapid. This is particularly well documented for South America where no eucalypt psyllids were known before 1990.
