Phytoplasma 16SrIII-J (‘Candidatus Phytoplasma pruni’-related) in Chile: the number of insect vector species increase
Los fitoplasmas asociados a la vid en Chile pertenecen a los subgrupos
ribosomales16SrI-B y 16SrI-C (relacionados con ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’), 16SrIII-J (relacionado con ‘Ca. P. pruni’), 16SrV-A (‘Ca. P. ulmi’), 16SrVII-A (‘Ca. P. fraxini’) y 16SrXII-A (‘Ca. P. solani’). El más prevalente es 16SrIII-J. Estudios epidemiológicos realizados en Chile indican que 16SrIII-J infecta también a otras especies vegetales y es transmitido por los cicadélidos Paratanus exitiosus y Bergallia
valdiviana. Individuos de las especies de cicadélidos, Bergallia sp., Amplicephalus ornatus, Amplicephalus curtulus, Amplicephalus pallidus y Exitianus obscurinervis,
también positivos al 16SrIII-J, se encontraron en un viñedo de Casablanca. Para las pruebas de transmisión (PT), se utilizaron plantas in vitro de vinca rosea y vid variedad Cabernet Sauvignon libres de fitoplasmas. Para que pudieran alimentarse, a contacto de cada planta se colocaron de 4 a 6 individuos adultos. Las capturas se realizaron mensualmente (octubre 2017 a junio 2021) con una red entomológica. Los insectos, después de un máximo de siete días alimentándose, se retiraron y conservaron en etanol al 70% y las plantas se transfirieron a una mezcla de turba y
perlita (2/1) estéril y se mantuvieron a 25°C con fotoperiodo 16/8 horas día/noche.
En ambos hospederos, las cinco especies de insectos transmitieron el 16SrIII-J. En la mayoría de las plantas ha sido posible detectar el fitoplasma a los tres meses desde el inicio de la PT. Con estos resultados suman a siete las especies de cicadélidos capaces de transmitir el 16SrIII-J, situación que explica la amplia difusión del fitoplasma en Chile

Five leafhopper species captured in Chilean vineyards are new vectors of 16SrIII-J phytoplasmas
In Chile the phytoplasmas associated to grapevine yellows are ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’ (ribosomal subgroups 16SrI-B and 16SrI-C), ‘Ca. P. pruni’ (16SrIII-J), ‘Ca. P. ulmi’ (16SrV-A), ‘Ca. P. fraxini’ (16SrVII-A), and ‘Ca. P. solani’ (16SrXII-A) (Gajardo et al., 2009; Fiore et al., 2015a). However, recent work showed that the phytoplasmas 16SrIII-J are the prevalent (González et al., 2011; Fiore et al., 2015b; Quiroga et al., 2017a, 2019a) and the "flavescence dorée" phytoplasmas and its vector Scaphoideus titanus, have not been found in Chile (Quiroga et al., 2017b). Previous studies indicate that non-grapevine plants from different botanical families present in the vineyards and in their vicinity (Convolvulus arvensis, Galega officinalis, Polygonum aviculare, Malva sp., Brassica rapa, Rubus ulmifolius, and Rosa sp.) are infected by 16SrIII-J phytoplasmas, and the leafhoppers Paratanus exitiosus and Bergallia valdiviana are vectors of the same pathogen. Other leafhopper species, Bergallia sp., Amplicephalus ornatus, Amplicephalus curtulus, Amplicephalus pallidus, and Exitianus obscurinervis, captured in a vineyard in Valparaiso region planted with cultivar Pinot noir, were infected by 16SrIII-J phytoplasmas (Zamorano et al. 2015; Quiroga et al., 2019b, 2019c, 2020). Transmission trials were performed to find out if these insect species are vectors

Rhopalopsole cestroidea Li, Muranyi & Gamboa, sp. nov.
<i>Rhopalopsole cestroidea</i> Li, Murányi & Gamboa, sp. nov. <p> <b>(</b> Figs. 11–15, 17–18, 22, 26–28)</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> This species is characterized by the lateral projections of tergum 10 being bifurcate with the upper spine subequal to the lower one in lateral view. The cercus lacks apical spine and the epiproct is a transverse oblong with blade-shaped anterior margin in dorsal view. Females are diagnosed by posterior margin of sternum 7 forming slightly produced pregenital plate, medial portion with a backward directed sclerotized rod.</p> <p> <b>Description</b>. Forewing length ca. 5.0 mm in males, 5.6 mm in females. Head brown, slightly wider than pronotum; compound eyes dark; antennae and mouthparts brown. Thorax brown, pronotum dark brown; wings infuscate; legs brown. Abdomen brown; vesicle, subanal lobe, epiproct and lateral projection dark brown.</p> <p> <i>Male</i> (Figs. 11–15). Tergum 9 weakly sclerotized except anterior margin with sclerotized lateral third, medial ¼ with a large drop-like mid-anterior sclerite surrounded by lateral and posterior membranous area. Posteromedial margin terminates in a thin sclerite together with tiny granules. Sternum 9 longer than wide, distal portion with distinct trapezoidal subgenital plate; vesicle dark brown, tongue-like in dorsal view, ca. 2.5X longer than width in lateral view, covered with dense hairs. Tergum 10 with sclerotized, bifurcate lateral projections, terminating in a triangular upper spine and a similar, subequal lower spine in lateral view; central plate sclerotized, posterior half darker with a quadrate medial elevation with fine granules, transverse bars slightly elevated medially, generally rhomb-shaped, posterior margin sclerotized. Cercus slender, ca. 3X longer than width, gently curved dorsally, without spine. Epiproct strongly sclerotized, hatchet-shaped with waved anterior margin in dorsal view, wider than long and nearly as wide as central plate, anterolateral corners acute but posterolateral corners rounded, with a wide mesal notch posteriorly. Subanal lobe distinctly sclerotized basally, rounded apex membranous and slightly tapering, ventral furrows well defined.</p> <p> <i>Female</i> (Figs. 17–18). Posterior margin of sternum 7 forming a slightly produced pregenital plate, the plate bearing sclerotized, distal margin with fringed hairs and medial portion with a backward directed sclerotized rod. Sternum 8 membranous except a slender transverse medial strip covered with hairs.</p> <p> <i>Larva</i> (Fig. 27). Typical for the genus, delicate and pale, with relatively little and short setation. No specific characters can be discerned.</p> <p> <b>Type material.</b> Holotype: male (HIST): <i>China</i>, Guangxi Province, Shangsi County, Shiwandashan National Forest Park, Pearl River above tourist route bridge, N21°53.913' E107°54.283', 375m, 27.iii.2015 (/15), leg.

J. Kontschán, W.H. Li, D. Murányi, G.Q. Wang.</p> <p> <b>Etymology</b>. The specific name, “cestro-”, derived from Greek “kestron”, a graving tool, refers to the shape of epiproct in dorsal view.</p> <p> <b>Distribution and ecology</b>. China, Guangxi; presently known only from the Shiwanda Mountains, a moderately high and isolated coastal range. This species occurred in large numbers associated with submontane rivers (Fig. 28) and a small forest brook, together with a diverse community of other stoneflies, but the only other Leuctridae was <i>R. sinensis</i> Yang & Yang, 1993. Many of the specimens were teneral and last instar larvae still occurred in the streams. This species apparently begins emerging in March (Figs. 26–27). The species can be attracted to light.</p> <p> <b>Remarks</b>. The new species seems a typical member of the <i>R. vietnamica</i> group, western assemblage sensu Sivec <i>et al.</i> (2008). The male of the new species seems closely related to <i>R. hainana</i> Li & Yang, 2010 from Hainan by sharing a quite similar epiproct but can be separated from the latter by lateral projections on tergum 10 with the upper spine being subequal to the lower one in lateral view and epiproct much wider than long and nearly as wide as central plate. <i>R. hainana</i> male epiproct is longer than wider and much narrower than central plate in dorsal view, the lateral projections on tergum 10 bearing a short upper spine and a larger lower spine in lateral view. Additionally, the cercus of the new species lacks a spine while that of <i>R. hainana</i> has a subapical spine.</p>Published as part of <i>Li, Weihai, Murányi, Dávid, Gamboa, Maribet, Yang, Ding & Watanabe, Kozo, 2017, New species and records of Leuctridae (Plecoptera) from Guangxi, China, on the basis of morphological and molecular data, with emphasis on Rhopalopsole, pp. 165-176 in Zootaxa 4243 (1)</i> on pages 170-172, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4243.1.8, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/398758">http://zenodo.org/record/398758</a>
