Distributional pattern of Chrysolina limbata (Fabricius, 1775) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Chrysomelinae)

Parasites of Phyllotreta atra (Fabricius, 1775) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Trabzon.

In this study, the parasites of Pyllotreta atra (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Trabzon were investigated. Samples of P. atra were collected in different localities of Trabzon. Three different types of parasites from P. atra observed are as follows: Gre-garine (Apicomplexa), Nematode (Tylenchida: Allantonematidae) and larvae of certain parasitoids. The most abundant infection found in this study...

Timarcha latreille (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae, Chrysomelinae)

The leaf-beetle genus Timarcha Latreille comprises about four subgenera, 125 species and 30 subspecies, spread in eastern North America and around the Mediterranean basin. They are absent from Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Egypt, where very probably European and African species once met, but were eradicated during the Pleistocene desertification. In Libya, it survives along the coast on the weste...

New contributions to the molecular systematics and the evolution of host-plant associations in the genus Chrysolina (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Chrysomelinae)

The taxonomic circumscription of the large and diverse leaf beetle genus Chrysolina Motschulsky is not clear, and its discrimination from the closely related genus Oreina Chevrolat has classically been controversial. In addition, the subgeneric arrangement of the species is unstable, and proposals segregating Chrysolina species into new genera have been recently suggested. In this context, the ...

Cytogenetics, cytotaxonomy and chromosomal evolution of Chrysomelinae revisited (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) *

Nearly 260 taxa and chromosomal races of subfamily Chrysomelinae have been chromosomally analyzed showing a wide range of diploid numbers from 2n = 12 to 2n = 50, and four types of male sex-chromosome systems. with the parachute-like ones Xy(p) and XY(p) clearly prevailing (79.0%), but with the XO well represented too (19.75%). The modal haploid number for chrysomelines is n = 12 (34.2%) althou...
