Tropical Forest Insect Pests, first published in 2007, promotes a better theoretical understanding of pest population dynamics, and causes of forest insect outbreaks in the tropics. Covering pests of both natural forests and plantations, it examines the diversity of tropical forest insects; their ecological functions; the concept of pests; and the incidence of pests in natural forests, plantations, and stored timber. General issues on which foresters and forest entomologists hold strong traditional views, such as the severity of pest incidence in plantations vs. natural forests, in plantations of exotics vs. indigenous tree species, and in monocultures vs. mixed plantations are discussed. The final section looks in detail at specific insect pests of the common plantation tree species across the tropics, with recommendations for their control. This is a comprehensive resource suitable for graduate students and researchers in forestry and tropical forest entomology, and for forest plantation managers in the tropics.

Tropical Forest Insect Pests: Ecology, Impact, and Management

A new species of Microgastrinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Japan, Dolichogenidea maetoi Fernandez-Triana & Shimizu sp. nov., is described, representing the first record of a braconid wasp parasitizing the lepidopteran family Hyblaeidae in the Palaearctic Region (from Hyblaea fortissima Butler, 1881). The new species is fully illustrated, diagnosed and compared with all previously described species of the genus Dolichogenidea Viereck, 1911 in the Holarctic (154 species). Details on the wasp biology, including observed sex ratios, are provided.

Se describe un nuevo género Pseudophacusa Efetov & Tarmann, gen. n. y una nueva especie, Pseudophacusa multidentata Efetov & Tarmann, sp. n., de Myanmar, China y Laos. Un posible mimetismo entre Pseudophacusa multidentata Efetov & Tarmann, sp. n., Illiberis (Alterasvenia) banmauka Efetov & Tarmann, 2014, y especies de los géneros Phacusa Walker, 1854 y Zama Herrich-Schäffer, 1855 se somete a discusión. Se ofrece el diagnóstico diferencial de los géneros Pseudophacusa gen. n., Phacusa Walker, 1854 y Zama Herrich-Schäffer, 1855.

Ésteres del ácido 2-dodecenoico y enantiómeros de 2-butanol, han sido sintetizados en la Universidad Federal de Crimea. Su atracción para los Procridinae (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae) fue evaluado en las observaciones de campo emprendidas en Naruto, Tokushima, Japón en 2014 y 2016. Los machos de Illiberis (Primilliberis) pruni Dyar, 1905, eran atraídos por la sustancia “EFETOV-S-2” (R-enantiómero de 2-butil 2-dodecenoato), mientras que los machos de otra especie próxima I. (P.) rotundata, no reaccionaban a esta substancia. El nuevo atrayente sexual sintético, puede ser usado para la detección de la plaga del huerto I. (P.) pruni y monitorizar su período de vuelo.

The Korean species of Illiberis Walker are revised. A total of 10 species are recognized, including four species new to Korea: I. rotundata Jordan, I. psychina (OberthUr), I. consimilis Leech, and I. hyalina (Staudinger). The identities of I. cybele Leech and I. assimilis Jordan, the two ambiguously defined Korean species, are reconfirmed with the examination of type specimens and additional materials. Photos of the adults and type materials are provided, and male and female genitalia of each species are illustrated. Biology and distribution for each species are briefly discussed with the larval host records from Korea.
