Insecta Mundi
Scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) of avocado, Persea americana Mill. (Lauraceae) were collected in the State of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. The study was conducted for one year, during October 2008–October 2009. As a result of this study, 34 scale insect species in seven families (Coccidae, Diaspididae, Kerriidae, Margarodidae, Monophlebidae, Pseudococcidae and Putoidae) were collected. Together with previous records, the number of scale insects collected on avocado in Colombia increased to 44 species and to 137 species worldwide. Species commonly collected on avocado in Colombia include Hemiberlesia cyanophylli (Signoret), Pseudoparlatoria parlatorioides (Comstock) (Diaspididae), Ceroplastes rubens Maskell, Coccus hesperidum L., Protopulvinaria pyriformis …

A New Record Of The Armored Scale Genus Carulaspis Macgillivray (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) From Korea And Its Aphelinid Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae), Soo-Jung Suh, Gregory A. Evans
Insecta Mundi
Carulaspis juniperi (Bouché) is newly documented as occurring in the Korean fauna of armored scales (Hemiptera: Diaspididae). The characters of this genus and species are redescribed based on specimens collected in Korea. In addition, four species of aphelinids (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) associated with C. juniperi were collected in Korea during the survey. Of these, Aphytis japonicus DeBach and Azim and Encarsia explorata (Silvestri) are recorded for the fi rst time from C. juniperi.
Pyroghatsiana: A New Genus Of Fire-Colored Beetles (Coleoptera: Pyrochroidae: Pyrochroinae) From The Southern Ghats, India, Daniel K. Young
Pyroghatsiana: A New Genus Of Fire-Colored Beetles (Coleoptera: Pyrochroidae: Pyrochroinae) From The Southern Ghats, India, Daniel K. Young
Insecta Mundi
Pyroghatsiana, a new genus of pyrochroine Pyrochroidae is described from the Southern Ghats of the Indian continental southern tip. The only known specimen is a female, Pyroghatsiana madurensis (Pic), new combination, originally placed in Dendroides Latreille, and subsequently transferred to Pseudodendroides Blair. Several striking differences including the dorsal interocular width between the compound eyes, shape and length of the third antennal segment, and shape of the pronotum preclude placement of Pyroghatsiana in either Dendroides, Pseudodendroides, or any other existing pyrochroine genus.

Recent shifts in US policies towards Cuba suggest a relaxation or lifting of the embargo may occur in the
near future. With the prospects of open travel and trade with Cuba come concerns over the introduction of agricultural
pests. In an effort to assess these concerns the distribution-based introduction risk of pests listed in the 2015 Cooperative
Agricultural Pest Survey’s (CAPS) list of priority pests of economic and environmental importance is reviewed. Of
the 59 pests on the CAPS priority pest list, 20 have been recorded in the literature as being present in the Caribbean

Enoclerus Gahan: Predators Of Chemically Protected Ladybird Beetles (Coleoptera: Cleridae And Coccinellidae), Jacques Rifkind
Enoclerus Gahan: Predators Of Chemically Protected Ladybird Beetles (Coleoptera: Cleridae And Coccinellidae), Jacques Rifkind
Insecta Mundi
Four species of the genus Enoclerus (Coleoptera: Cleridae) are reported to prey on chemically protected Coccinellidae in North America. The possibility that aposematically colored Enoclerus also mimic prey ladybird species is discussed, and the further possibility that clerid predators acquire chemical protection through sequestration of ladybird prey’s toxic alkaloids is suggested as an important avenue of investigation. The data presented are primarily based on photographs taken by non-specialists, discovered through Internet search. The crowdsourcing of natural history observations can reveal aspects of animal behavior heretofore unreported and even unsuspected.

Insecta Mundi
The Republic of Panama currently has 300 recorded species of Trichoptera distributed among 14 families. Herein we add 42 new country records for Panama, including one new family (Anomalopsychidae) and three new genera (Anomalopsychidae: Contulma; Hydroptilidae: Byrsopteryx and Cerasmatrichia). The newly recorded caddisfly taxa increase Panama’s total known fauna to 342 species, distributed among 15 families and 50 genera. These results are part of an ongoing effort to characterize the caddisfly fauna of Panama, and to evaluate that country’s major watersheds (cuencas).
