We investigated the association between a gall midge, Illiciomyia yukawai, and its symbiotic fungi on Japanese star anise, Illicium anisatum. The number of fungal species isolated from the galls increased with development of the galls, whereas those from the leaves showed a different trend. Botryosphaeria dothidea was dominant in the galls from June to

Most wood-feeding insects need an association with microbes to utilize wood as food, and some have special organs to store and convey the microbes. We report here the discovery of the microbe-storage organ (mycangium) in stag beetles (Coleoptera: Lucanidae), which develop in decayed wood.

Abstract Platypus beetles can attack apparently healthy or more or less decaying trees, causing economic damage to the timber by digging galleries in the wood or killing the trees. They transport the spores of Ambrosia fungi or others (Graphium spp) inside specialized prothoracic mycangia of the female.

The woodwasp Sirex noctilio F. (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) has become established in North America. A primary tactic for the management of S. noctilio in the southern hemisphere has been the development of a biological control agent, Deladenus siricidicola Bedding. This nematode has a bicyclic life cycle including a mycetophagous free-living and parasitic

Platypus koryoensis (Murayama) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Platypodinae) is a minute ambrosia beetle that can cause significant damage to live oak trees (Quercus mongolica) along with its symbiotic pathogenic fungus (Raffaelea sp.). Although both sexes of the beetle have a number of cuticular depressions for carrying microorganisms, only the females ...

OCCURRENCE OF MYCANGIA IN THE BARK BEETLE DRYOCOETES CONFUSUS (COLEOPTERA: SCOLYTIDAE)
The Canadian Entomologist, 1969AbstractPaired mandibular mycangia are present in both sexes of the bark beetle Dryocoetes confusus Sw. These fungus repositories were not found in either sex of another bark beetle of the same genus, Dryocoetes affaber Mann.

Abstract Dissection of emerging adult xiphydriid woodwasps, Xiphydria ogasawarai Matsumura, occurring in eastern, central, and western Japan during a 2- to 4-yr period, revealed that adult females possessed mycangia filled with fungal spores, whereas the mycangia were absent in males.

SummaryRaffaelea quercivora is the pathogenic fungus that causes Japanese oak wilt. The female monogynous ambrosia beetle, Platypus quercivorus, carries this fungus in mycangia on the pronotum. These beetles bore galleries in oak trees with their partners to produce offspring, and they deposit fungus on the gallery walls from their mycangia.

Meredithiella norrisii (Microascales, Ceratocystidaceae) is an ambrosia fungus carried in mycangia of the North American ambrosia beetle, Corthylus punctatissimus. Reports on the identity of the fungal symbionts of other species of Corthylus have been inconsistent. This study tested the hypothesis that Meredithiella spp.

AbstractX‐ray microtomography has been applied successfully to obtain reliable microstructural information of many insect species. Nonetheless, the technique has not been widely applied to ambrosia beetles. The ambrosia beetle Euwallacea interjectus (Blandford) was first recorded as a vector of plant pathogenic fungus Ceratocystis ficicola Kajitani ...
