AbstractThe straw itch mite, Pyemotes tritici Lagrèze-Fossat and Montané (Acari: Pyemotidae), was discovered parasitising the goldspotted oak borer, Agrilus auroguttatus Schaeffer (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), an invasive exotic species to California, United States of America, and the Mexican goldspotted oak borer, Agrilus coxalis Waterhouse (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), during surveys for natural enemies for a classical biological control programme for A. auroguttatus. Pyemotes tritici caused low levels of mortality to each species of flatheaded borer, but it will likely not be a good candidate for a biological control programme because it is a generalist parasitoid with deleterious human health effects.

Agrilus Auroguttatus

AbstractIn recent decades, invasive phloem and wood borers have become important pests in North America. To aid tree sampling and survey efforts for the newly introduced goldspotted oak borer, Agrilus auroguttatus Schaeffer (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), we examined spatial patterns of exit holes on the boles (trunks) of 58 coast live oak, Quercus agrifolia Née (Fagaceae), trees at five sites in San Diego County, southern California, United States of America. Agrilus auroguttatus exit hole densities were greater at the root collar than at mid-boles (6.1 m above ground). Dispersion patterns of exit holes on lower boles (≤1.52 m) were random for trees with low exit hole densities and aggregated for trees with high exit hole densities. The mean exit hole density measured from three randomly chosen quadrats (0.09 m2) provided a statistically reliable estimate of the true mean exit hole density on the lower bole, with <25% error from the true mean. For future sampling and survey efforts in southern California oak forests and woodlands, exit hole counts within a 0.09 m2 quadrat could be made at any three locations on lower Q. agrifolia boles to accurately estimate A. auroguttatus exit hole densities at the individual tree level.

The following new species and subspecies of the genus Agrilus are described: A. rifkindi Hespenheide, New Species, A. rifkindi pueblae Hespenheide, New Subspecies, A. obrienorum Hespenheide, New Species, A. giesberti Hespenheide, New Species, A. anthaxioides Hespenheide, New Species, A. leucaenae Hespenheide, New Species, A. chrysobothroides Hespenheide, New Species, A. paramacer Hespenheide, New Species, and A. parkinsoniae Hespenheide, New Species. Agrilus auroguttatus Schaeffer is removed from synonymy and considered a distinct subspecies of A. coxalis Waterhouse, A. coxalis auroguttatus, New Status. New collection records are given for Agrilus connisalis Obenberger and A. sublateralis Waterhouse. Agrilus balaenicaudus Westcott & Noguera is considered to be a synonym of A. langei Obenberger, New Synonymy; A. jaliscoanus Westcott & Noguera is considered to be a synonym of A. sublateralis, New Synonymy. Corrected type depositories and additional records are given for Agrilus howdenorum Hespenheide.

Agrilus Auroguttatus

The genus Agrilus Curtis 1825 is reviewed for the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. Of the 25 species included, 11 are recorded here for the first time and four are previously unknown to science and described as new: Agrilus barri new species, A. interstitialis new species, A. vescivittatus new species, and A. argythamniae new species. Four additional species may be expected based on their occurrence just north of the border in the United States. Upon further study Agrilus auroguttatus Schaeffer 1905, revalidated status, is judged to be a separate species from A. coxalis Waterhouse 1889. Figures and a key to known and expected species are given, as well as a summary checklist.
