“…4), although oviposition occurs over an extended period, and immatures may be present for 8-9 mo, depending on the site. 2 This conclusion is consistent with the observations of Dietrich (1931), Jones (1965), Overgaard & Nachod (1971), and Ollieu (1971), except that the period of reproductive activity was longer than they indicate, continuing into the winter and early spring. Initiation of oviposition in our study was related to the degree of canopy closure.…”

“…Adults feed on the phloem of branches and trunks of host trees and larval development occurs in the phloem of terminals, branches, trunks, and roots of weakened or recently dead trees (Baker 1972). Adult feeding on seedlings may cause mortality (Beal 1952) and on larger trees may result in "scorched" foliage and needle drop (Ollieu 1971). Also, the weevil may vector the fungus Fusarium moniliforme var.…”

Brood development and adult activity of Pissodes nemorensis Germar were studied in slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) plantations in northern Florida in 1977-78. The insect is basically univoltine in this area, but immatures are present in infested hosts for almost 9 mo during the cooler part of the year. Eggs were present in the field from late August until mid March; most oviposition occurred from October through February. Development from egg to adult within hosts required 7-25 wk depending on date of oviposition. Most adults emerged from late March to mid May. Some adults emerged before December from eggs laid in late summer, but it is not known whether these reproduced during the same season. Adults were caught in sticky traps next to trap trees, in window traps, and in pheromone traps from August until early April, with a major peak in October or November and a smaller peak in March. Most adults trapped were apparently mature (i.e., had developed in the previous season), for trap catches declined as new adults emerged. Adults were not observed in the summer months and were not caught in traps. P. nemorensis has five instars. At constant temperatures of 15, 20, and 25°C, egg-to-adult development required ca. 180, 70, and 58 d, respectively. Principal causes of mortality to weevil brood were the parasite Coeloides pissodis (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and woodpeckers. Disease and competition, principally with Ips spp., also appeared to be important.

Mature larvae of Pissodes strobi (Peck), Pissodes schwarzi Hopkins, Pissodes nemorensis Germar, and Pissodes terminalis Hopping are described and external morphology illustrated. A key to species is presented. A phylogenetic analysis is done using single-and multiple-outgroup comparisons, which both find trees of identical topology. Character states of clypeus pigmentation and premental sclerite shape putatively support a monophyletic relationship of the I! strobi complex. Williams DJM, Langor DW. 2002.

Specimens studiedIn addition to larvae of the four species of the l? strobi complex, those of Pissodes afinis Randall, Pissodes striatulus Randall, Pissodes punctatus Langor and Zhang, Pissodes yunnanensis Langor and Zhang, and Pissodes rotundatus LeConte, were examined and characters that exhibited significant interspecific variation were noted. The majority of larvae were collected by the authors or various cooperators, and reared by the authors to obtain adults for mtDNA studies (Langor and Sperling 1995, 1997). Others were sent by cooperators associated with adults or damage. These larvae were used to identify diagnostic characters and delimit species concepts. Larvae borrowed from various sources (see below) were subsequently added to increase the range of morphological and geographic variation encompassed by descriptions once diagnostic characters for each species had been found and species limits confidently assigned. These additional larvae are identified by loaning institution in the Material examined section of each species description.Specimens examined were obtained from the following collections: cucc FIDS INHS FRLC NFRC PSUC Volume 134 THECANADMN LWMD~.WIST 13more rigorous treatment with increased numbers of species, specimens, and characters will have to await a larger-scale study of the genus.

Department, Uruguay) are acknowledged for providing dead insect specimens. We also thank the two anonymous reviewers for their constructive suggestions and comments. AbstractDuring the first half of the twentieth century, two accidental cases of introduction of Pissodes weevils were recorded from the southern hemisphere. The weevils in South Africa were identified as the deodar weevil (Pissodes nemorensis) and those in South America as the small banded pine weevil (Pissodes castaneus). Wide distribution of the two species in their invasive range, general difficulty in identifying some Pissodes spp., and the varying feeding and breeding behaviours of the species in South Africa has necessitated better evidence of 1 species identity and genetic diversity of both species and population structure of the species in South Africa.Barcoding and the Jerry-to-Pat region of the COI gene were investigated. Morphometric data of the South African species was analysed. Our results confirmed the introduction of only one Pissodes species of North American origin to South Africa. However, this species is not P. nemorensis, but an unrecognized species of the P. strobi complex or a hybrid between P. strobi and P. nemorensis. Only P. castaneus, of European origin, was identified from South America. We identified ten mitochondrial DNA haplotypes from South Africa with evidence of moderate genetic structure among geographic populations. Terminal leader and bole-feeding weevils did not differ at the COI locus. A single haplotype was identified from populations of P. castaneus in South America. Results of the present study will have implications on quarantine, research and management of these insect species.
