Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.Abstract For about the past 120 years, Apiomorpha crispa (Fuller, 1896) has been considered to be a junior synonym of A. strombylosa (Tepper, 1893). Although some morphological variation among specimens of A. strombylosa has been recognised across its range, geographic separation and different host associations led to coccidologists treating the ...

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.Abstract Rhopalosomatidae (Hymenoptera, Vespoidea) are rare ectoparasitoid wasps that parasitize crickets (Grylloidea), with few records documented in the literature, which originate from the Nearctic and Australian regions. Here, we report the first record of Rhopalosomatidae larvae parasitizing crickets of the family Phalangopsidae in the Neotropics.

Pheromone stereochemical specificity in the biology of the bean beetle Acanthoscelides obtectus
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 564-572, November 2025.Abstract The dried bean beetle, Acanthoscelides obtectus, is a serious pest of legume crops, particularly Phaseolus vulgaris beans, and its management is challenging due to the beetle's cryptic larval stage. The major male‐produced pheromone of A. obtectus is methyl (E,R)‐2,4,5‐tetradecatrienoate, crucial for female attraction, with the (S)‐enantiomer ...

Stabilizing adaptation in an invasive species: Alfalfa weevil as a case study
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 573-589, November 2025.Comparison of thermal thresholds, fecundity and longevity across three alfalfa weevil strains (California in the United States, Hamadan in Iran, Ebro Valley in Spain) reveal significant differences in demographic parameters. Weather‐driven physiologically based demographic models (PBDMs) developed from life table data explore strain adaptation to ...

Cossid moths (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) as pests of woody plants – A review
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 512-531, November 2025.Abstract The Cossidae is a worldwide family of macro‐moths popularly known as carpenter moths due to the larval habit of boring in the wood of living plants. This review compiles current knowledge on the characteristics, diversity and bionomy of cossid moths as well as the damage they cause on woody plants.
