Individual variability and modifi cations of day and night movement activity in Cheilomenes propinqua (Mulsant) (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) adults
Resumo
Laboratory experiments revealed individual variability in the intensity of day and night movement activity of starved and fed adults of a predatory ladybird Cheilomenes propinqua . Statistical analysis of the experimental data showed that (1) individual variability of day and night movement activity is determined by di erent parameters of Ch. propinqua adults, (2) environmental factors also have di erent impacts on the rate of individual variability of day and night movement activity, and (3) e ects of temperature and starvation on modi cations of day and night movement activity are also di erent. These results suggest that day and night movement activities of Ch. propinqua adults are determined by di erent physiological mechanisms.

Relationships of the gall midge, Asphondylia miki Wachtl (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), with the host plant, alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and ectoparasites of its larvae and pupae (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) in the forest-steppe of the middle volga region
Resumo
The studies were carried out in crops of alfalfa ( Medicago sativa ssp. × varia ) in 2018-2022 in the forest-steppe of Samara Province. Asphondylia miki galls were taken into account in alfalfa crops from the beginning of their formation to the end of the growing season on sites from 0.1 to 1 m2 in 10-fold repetition. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out by methods of variance analysis. At spring sowing of alfalfa, as well as in its perennial crops, gall midge A. miki develops in two, and during summer sowing in the rst year of the culture’s life in one generation per year, pupae overwinter in galls, the imago of the wintering generation occurs in April. The greatest damage to alfalfa by the larvae of A. miki (40-68% of generative shoots) and the number of its galls (500-830 copies/m2) were observed in the rst year of the culture’s life when it was sown in summer, with the coincidence of the greatest ight of imago with the budding of the culture, which led to signi cant losses in the yield of alfalfa seeds (13-81%). In summer alfalfa crops of the rst year of development without the use of chemical plant protection agents, parasitic hymenopterans contribute to the death of larvae and pupae of A. miki in on average 60% of its galls. Among them, a gregarious ectoparasite Sigmophora brevicornis (Eulophidae) mainly preying on A. miki larvae accounted for about 77% of the individuals of the identi ed parasites. In the S. brevicornis population, males and females had similar body coloration and belonged to three phenotypes: the lightest brownish yellow, yellowish brown, and dark coloration, which accounted for 53, 28 and 19% of parasite individuals, respectively.

P. consortial associations of insects (Insecta) and springtails (Collembola) with Trollius asiaticus L. (Ranunculaceae)
Resumo
Consortial associations of insects and springtails with the Asian globe ower, Trollius asiaticus L. (Ranunculaceae), were investigated in nature and in the Bioresource Scienti c Collection of the Central Siberian Botanical Garden of the Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Science (USU № 440534) from 2017 till 2021. 106 invertebrate species have been revealed, which have been classi ed into the following groups: (1) anthophiles, (2) herbivores (phyllophages and carpophages), (3) de tritophages, and (4) entomophages. The consort diversity is highest in the period of owering with predominance of the anthophiles, including pollinators and nectarophages. Seeds are damaged by the larvae of the y genus Chiastocheta (Anthomyiidae) and numerous heteropterans. The injury by phyllophages is insigni cant.

Mycobiota of Ips sexdentatus (Bö;rner, 1776) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae: Scolytinae) in Belarus
Resumo
The paper presents the results of a study of the fungal component of the microbiome associated with six-toothed bark beetle on the territory of Belarus to clarify the role of this xylophage as a vector of dangerous phytopathogenic fungi. More than 360 pure cultures of fungi isolated from the surface and hemocoel of Ips sexdentatus were analyzed by cultural-morphological and molecular-genetic methods. 35 species of fungi from 25 genera of 17 families in 3 divisions were identi ed. Based on their impact on the stored wood, all species are conventionally classi ed into three groups: (1) fungi that cause discoloration of wood (mold, blue stain, etc.), (2) fungi that cause rot of growing forest and harvested wood, and (3) fungi whose . Five species of fungi from the family Ophiostomatacea e were identi ed: Leptographium Lagerb. & Melin sp., Ophiostoma ips (Rumbold) Nannf., O. minus (Hedgc.) Syd. & P. Syd., O. canum (Münch) Syd. & P. Syd., and O. piceae (Münch) Syd. & P. Syd. associated with blue wood. Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. was found in 7.8% of the studied samples of the fungal ora. Fairly high frequency of occurrence con rms the participation of the six-toothed bark beetle in the formation of complex centres of pine desiccation in the territory of Belarus. In the I. sexdentatus population, a signi cant proportion of entomopathogenic fungi (11.4%) was recorded using the molecular genetic method, which may indicate natural processes of self-regulation, or the attenuation of the outbreak of bark beetles in Belarus.

Insects pollinating parsnip Pastinaca sativa l. (Apiaceae) in Moscow province
Resumo
The purpose of the study was to test the ability of Pastinaca sativa , as one of the plants whose sap contains furanocoumarins, to attract the same types of insects as the most dangerous weed - Sosnowsky’s hogweed, which is widely spread in Russia. As a result, 46 species of pollinating insects from the orders Hymenoptera (3 species), Hemiptera (2 species), Coleoptera (10 species) and Diptera (31 species) have been recorded on P. sativa . Among the latter, representatives of Tachinidae (6 species), Anthomyiidae (6 species), Calliphoridae (4 species), and Syrphidae (4 species) predominated. About 50% of insects pollinating P. sativa are found on other species of umbrella plants, including native species Anthriscus sylvestris , Aegopodium podagraria , Angelica sylvestris ; on horticultural crops: Anethum graveolens , Petroselinum crispum , Carum carvi , Coriandrum sativum , Levisticum o cinale , and on the invasive hogweed Heracleum sosnowskyi . It was not possible to detect any preference of insects for yellow (parsnip, lovage, dill) or white (kupyr, goutweed, angelica, hogweed, parsley, cumin, coriander) corolla color, plant height (from 30 cm to 2 m) or umbrella diameter (from 8 to 30 cm). Among all the captured insects, the following groups can be distinguished: those found on P. sativa and on wild-growing species of Apiaceae - 6 species; on P. sativa and garden crops - 4 species; on P. sativa and Heracleum sosnowskyi - 4 species; found on many species of Apiaceae - 10 species; found only on P. sativa - 24 species.

A new species of the genus Diplocolenus Ribaut, subgenus Verdanulus Emeljanov (Homoptera, Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae) from the steppes of European Russia and Kazakhstan
Resumo
A new species Diplocolenus ( Verdanulus ) stepposus sp. n. with a Ponto-Kazakhstanian steppe distribution is described. The species is monophagous on the Volga fescue, Festuca valesiaca . Arguments in support of the distinctness of the subgenus Verdanulus are given. Some morphological transformations of the male genitalia in the genus Diplocolenus as a whole are discussed. Two independent immigrations of the subgenera Diplocolenus s. str. and Verdanus Oman into the Nearctic in di erent times are hypothesized.

On a fi nding of the weevil Magdalis margaritae Barrios (Coleoptera, Curculionidae: Magdalini) in Kemerovo city, Russia, and func-tioning of the plantations of the Siberian elm, Ulmus pumila L., in the herbivores exchange between european and eastern palaearctic forest massifs with participation of elms
Resumo
In July 2013, an Eastern Palaearctic weevil Magdalis margaritae Barrios, developing on Ulmus pumila , was found for the rst time in Kemerovo City, West Siberia. Findings of this and other coleopterous phytophages of Ulmus pumila in the centre of southern Siberia presume possible role of the Ulmus pumila plantings as a corridor for herbivores and, probably, pathogens exchange between European and East Asian forest massifs with participation of their endemic Ulmus species.
