Dans le cadre de la réalisation du catalogue des Chrysomelidae Belgique, nous présentons les et atlas sous-famille Chrysomelinae mis à jour date 1er janvier 2022. Ce est adapté nomenclature récente complété par une carte occurrences connues dans pays. Un commentaire accompagne chaque espèce. Plusieurs espèces genre Oreina Chevrolat 1837 Sclerophaedon orbicularis (Suffrian 1851) sont citées Belg...

four species of flea beetles (col.: chrysomelidae, alticinae), viz. altica tsharynensis (ogloblin), aphthona pygmaea (kutschera), longitarsus pulmonariae weise and neocrepidodera interpunctata (motschulsky), collected from the south of caspian sea are newly recorded from iran. host plants, localities and diagnostic characters of each species are given.

Bruchines damage agricultural crops and trees, reducing the quantity and quality of the seeds. The aim of this study is to record, for the first time, Paracrias pluteus as a parasitoid on the immature stages of Sennius spodiogaster and Sennius cupreatus on seeds of Melanoxylon brauna in Teixeiras, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Paracrias pluteus is a parasitoid without previous host records and kn...

Asopines are predators of insects, with several species with potential as biocontrol agents of a number of pests. Metrogaleruca obscura (Degeer), a neotropical species of Galerucini, was introduced in Malaysia, Asia, and Mauritius, Africa, to control the spread of Cordia curassavica (Boraginaceae), a native plant of the neotropics. The occurrence of Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas) preying on M. ob...

Sucinolivolia torpida gen. nov. et sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini) is described and illustrated from Eocene Baltic amber. The new monotypic genus is compared with fossil and extant flea-beetle genera. Sucinolivolia gen. nov. is similar to the extant Livolia Jacoby and Orthaltica Crotch, but difference include the absence of an antebasal pronotal sulcus, not crenulate...

Male and female reproductive systems of Stolas conspersa (Germar) (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae). The male and female reproductive systems of Stolas conspersa (Germar, 1824) are described and illustrated for the first time. The male reproductive system shows no difference from the subfamily pattern, which is a tubular well-developed median lobe; “Y”, “V” or T-shaped tegmen; reduced pyg...

Two new species of Laboulbeniales are described: Laboulbenia parasyphraeae, parasitic on Parasyphraea sp. (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Alticinae), and L. skelleyi, parasitic on Pselaphacus rubricatus and P. signatus (Coleoptera, Erotylidae). Other recorded species are Chaetomyces pinophili, Chitonomyces aurantiacus, Corethromyces ophitis, Dimorphomyces platensis, Dioicomyces anthici, D. cf. noto...

To better understand the naturally occurring host range of Bean pod mottle virus (family Comoviridae, genus Comovirus, BPMV) and its principal vector Cerotoma trifurcata (Förster) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), 18 field-collected perennial plant species were tested for the presence of BPMV. By using no-choice assays, we determined the preference of these plants by bean leaf beetle, by measuring t...

Stereotyped feeding damage attributable solely to rolled-leaf hispine beetles is documented on latest Cretaceous and early Eocene ginger leaves from North Dakota and Wyoming. Hispine beetles (6000 extant species) therefore evolved at least 20 million years earlier than suggested by insect body fossils, and their specialized associations with gingers and ginger relatives are ancient and phylogen...
