Taxonomic Notes on Smicronyx Schoenherr, 1843 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from Turkey
No full textFour species of the genus Smicronyx Schoenherr (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) were examined in this study with Smicronyx albosquamosus Wollaston, S. coecus Reich, and S. syriacus Faust reported for the first time in Turkey. Given that S. jungermanniae Wollaston, S. reichii (Gyllenhal), S. sordidus LeConte, and S. fulvus LeConte were previously reported from Turkey, there are now seven species of Smicronyx in the insect fauna of Turkey. Specimens of S. albosquamosus, S. coecus, S. syriacus, and S. jungermanniae were collected from almond trees, Amygdalus communis L., in Eastern Southern Anatolia Region of Turkey and subjected to taxonomic study using primarily genitalia and reproductive structures to provide descriptions of these species with comparisons with previous studies. © 2021 Georgia Entomological Society Inc..

Elytra: length: ♂: 3.62–4.86 mm, ♀: 3.82–4.98 mm, width: ♂: 2.65–3.90 mm, ♀: 270 – 3.98 mm. Body elongate-oval, color black, completely covered with metallic greenish scales (Fig. 2 a–d), head oval, densely covered with scales, frons depressed, with a longitudinal sulcus (Fig. 2 c, e), eyes oval, large, distinctly convex, inferior margin narrower than dorsal one (Fig. 2 a, h), tibiae and tarsi dark ferrugineous (Fig. 2 ı, i). Rostrum (Fig. 2 e, 3 a) elongate, length of rostrum more than twice width, with deep median longitudinal sulcus and one adjacent keel on each side, densely covered with scales and setae. Antenna (Fig. 2 f) black, covered with yellowish hairs, scape long, basally curved, gradually widened from base to apex, reaching margin of eyes, first segment of funicule slightly longer than second, I and II segments longer than others. Prothorax (Fig. 2 g, 3 b) in dorsal view slightly transverse, hind margin wider than front margin, sides rounded, widest at middle, disc of pronotum with dense shiny scales and short suberect setae, postocular lobes weakly developed (Fig. 2 h). Elytra (Fig. 2 a–d) elongate-oval, striae formed by row of separate punctures, interstria flat, wide on disc, erect setae in three or four irregular rows, apical part of setae bifurcate (Fig. 3 c–d). Legs long and thin, femora black, untoothed, tibiae and tarsi dark ferrugineous, fore tibiae slightly incurved at apex in male (Fig. 2 ı), straight in female (Fig. 2 i), internal denticulation absent, claws free. Male genitalia. Aedeagus in lateral view distinctly curved, median lobe straight in middle, narrowed towards apex, in dorsal view elongate, nearly parallel-sided, narrowed to apex, ostium distinct, rounded, apex with sclerotised line (Fig. 4 a–b), tegmen ring like, basally located, parameres dorsal, manubrium long and thin (Fig. 4 c), sternite 9 (spiculum gastrale) thin, curved behind middle, connected to two symmetrical plates (Fig. 4 d). Female genitalia. Spermatheca hook-like, cornu short, folded basally, basal part of spermatheca wide, well sclerotised, ramus long and with two lobes (giving it a segmented appearance), nodule short and narrowed (Fig. 4 e), ovipositor long, stylus short and cylindrical, color dark, bearing 3–4 short erect setae at apex (Fig. 4 f), spiculum long, rod-like, abdominal sternum 8 V-shaped (Fig. 4 g). Diagnosis and discussion. Aspidiotes candani sp. nov. is related to A. anatolicus (Colonnelli, 1978). The new species differs primarily from A. anatolicus in eye shape, form of pronotum, form of setae on disc of elytra, surface morphology of scales, structure of aedeagus (in dorsal view) and form of spermatheca. In A. candani the eyes are elongate-oval (Fig. 2 a, h), the apical margin of the pronotum is straight (Fig. 2 g, 3 b), the setae on the disc of elytra are erect and apically bifurcate (Fig. 3 c–d), the surface of the scales has large, distinct granules (Fig. 3 e–f), aedeagus (in dorsal view) has an apical sclerotised line and the ostium is oval (Fig. 4 b), the spermathecal cornu is short and folded basally, ramus has two lobes that look like segments (Fig. 4 e). In A. anatolicus (according to Sanchez-Ruiz and Alonso-Zarazaga, 1994), the eyes are round, the apical margin of the pronotum is oval, the setae on disc of elytra are suberect, curved basally, simple apically, aedeagus (in dorsal view) lacks a sclerotised line, the ostium is indented and “w” shaped, spermathecal cornu is long and not folded, the ramus is simple. According to Sanchez-Ruiz and Alonso-Zarazaga (1994), Aspidiotes Schoenherr, 1847 includes two subgenera (Phaenognathus Schoenherr and Aspidiotes Schoenherr). The subgenus Phaenognathus Schoenherr is recognized by the aedeagus with flagellum long and slender, spermatheca with long ramus. It contains the Eastern Mediterranean species A. anatolicus and A. thalassinus. The subgenus Aspidiotes Schoenherr is recognized by the aedeagus with flagellum short, robust, and spermatheca with short ramus. It includes the Western Mediterranean species A. cottyi, A. larbii, A. gonzalezi and A. westringii. Aspidiotes candani should be considered within the A. (Phaenognathus) anatolicus group due to its long aedeagal flagellum, and spermatheca with long ramus. Derivation of name.

Histomorphology of the Male Reproductive System and Spermatogenesis of Phyllobius (Ectomogaster) fulvago Gyllenhal, 1834 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae): A Light and Scanning Electron Microscope Study
No full textAbstract: The morphology and histology of the male reproductive system of Phyllobius fulvago were described and discussed in relation to other Coleoptera species. The results show that Ph. fulvago has two-lobed flower-shaped arranged testes, each lobe with fourteen follicles. There are two types of glands in the male reproductive system in Ph. fulvago: tubular accessory glands and lobed prostate glands. © 2021, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
Isolation and identification of bacillus pumilus yhh-2, a potential pathogen to the alfalfa weevil (Hypera postica gyllenhal)
No full textAlfalfa weevil (Hypera postica Gyllenhal, 1813) samples were collected from different locations in Kırşehir, Turkey, during May–August in 2014. They were immediately transferred to the research laboratory and dissected under aseptic conditions. Then serial dilutions were prepared from digestive tract samples and the spread plate technique was used for obtaining pure cultures. The conventional and molecular methods that include morphological and physiological examinations, biochemical tests, 16S rDNA sequencing, and the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) were used for identification of the bacterial isolates. According to the findings of the present study, the YHH-2 isolate was found as the main pathogenic bacterium that dominates the digestive tract microflora of the alfalfa weevil. 16S rDNA sequencing and the BLAST data revealed that YHH-2 showed 100% similarity to Bacillus pumilus, recently described as an entomopathogenic strain. In conclusion, the results of the present study are important due to showing for the first time the presence of Bacillus pumilus YHH-2 in the digestive tract of the alfalfa weevil and it may be used as a potential biocontrol agent against the harmful effects of this insect species. © TÜBİTAK
