{"title":"Phenology and Voltinism of Paropsisterna cloelia and Paropsis charybdis (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Temperate Maritime New Zealand","authors":"Carolin Weser, Elena Moltchanova, Toni M.

Pawson","doi":"10.1111/aen.70082","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/aen.70082","url":null,"abstract":"<p>The <i>Eucalyptus</i> variegated beetle (<i>Paropsisterna cloelia</i>) was established in New Zealand in 2016 and has caused substantial damage to selected host species. Previous field observations suggested that <i>Pst. cloelia</i> larvae may feed for a longer period during the year than the closely related <i>Eucalyptus</i> tortoise beetle (<i>Paropsis charybdis</i>), New Zealand's current most damaging eucalypt defoliator. Phenology and voltinism of these two invasive paropsine leaf beetles were quantified over two eucalypt growing seasons at two sites planted with <i>Eucalyptus bosistoana</i> in Marlborough, New Zealand. Results show that the availability of new foliage determined the voltinism and phenology of <i>P. charybdis</i> and <i>Pst. cloelia</i> and that the phenology of both species coincided at both field sites. As the availability of new leaves in spring and mid-summer prompts oviposition, both species had two generations at the site where trees produced new leaves in spring and mid-summer and one generation at the site where trees only produced new leaves in spring. Additionally, field observations indicate that both species have the potential for a third generation if the growing season is extended and trees produce new foliage three times. These conditions may be met in the Northland and coastal Bay of Plenty regions. Consequently, we conclude that <i>Pst. cloelia</i> does not produce more generations than <i>P. charybdis</i> and that larval activity coincided during the sampling seasons. <i>Pst. cloelia</i> is expected to spread throughout New Zealand over time and may become as damaging as <i>P. charybdis</i> on its preferred eucalypt hosts. We suggest future research to quantify phenology and voltinism of both species in warm/wet regions of New Zealand, to establish development models to inform pest management and to define host preferences for risk assessment.</p>","PeriodicalId":8574,"journal":{"name":"Austral Entomology","volume":"65 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/aen.70082","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148076250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
