A New Species

In February of last year I received a box of galls from Mr. Trevor Kincaid, of Olympica, Washington, for identification. The galls were taken from Rubus Nutkanus, and the flies reared from them early in the following March prove to be a new species, which I take pleasure in dedicating to Mr. Kincaid.

Decay Development

During a survey of postharvest diseases in Red Delicious apples (Malus domestica) conducted in 2003, a previously undescribed postharvest fruit rot was discovered in Washington State. The causal agent has been described as a new species, Phacidiopycnis washingtonensis. In this study, we described the symptomatology of this disease, determined its occurrence and prevalence in Washington State, tested pathogenicity, and determined infection courts on fruit of three apple varieties. Decayed fruit were sampled from 26, 72, and 81 grower lots during March to August in 2003, 2004, and 2005, respectively, during packing operations from commercial packinghouses. Symptoms of decayed fruit were recorded and isolations were made from decayed fruit to correlate causal agents with the disease symptoms observed. Fruit of Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Fuji apples were inoculated in the orchards with conidial suspensions of the fungus at 1 and 2 weeks before harvest. All fruit were harvested and stored at 0°C, and decay development on the fruit was monitored monthly for up to 9 months. The symptoms were primarily stem-end rot and calyx-end rot. Infection also occurred at lenticels on fruit skin, particularly on Golden Delicious. The decayed area was spongy to firm and appeared light brown to brown. On Red Delicious, brown to black specks at lenticels often appeared at the decayed area as the disease advanced. This disease occurred in 23, 26, and 17% of the total grower lots, accounting for approximately 1, 4, and 3% of the total decay in 2003, 2004, and 2005, respectively. In 2004 and 2005, severe losses of fruit were observed in three grower lots of Red Delicious, and their losses were as high as 24%. After 9 months in storage, 48, 48, and 24% of Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Fuji that were inoculated in the orchards, respectively, developed symptoms of this disease, and the fungus was reisolated from decayed fruit. Stem-end rot was common on Red Delicious and Golden Delicious, whereas calyx-end rot was common on Fuji. We propose “speck rot” as the name of this disease.

Cephalic Shield

A new species of Haminoea (Opisthobranchia: Cephalaspidea), Haminoea callidegenita, is described from Washington State, U.S.A. Diagnostic features are reddish brown colour, deeply bifurcate cephalic shield, reddish ovate shell with imperforate apex, tubular Hancock's organ, unarmed penis, unilobular prostate, and radula formula n.l.l.l.n (n from 12 to 21), with bicuspid first lateral uncini. The development of H. callidegenita is unusual among the Opisthobranchia in that the hatching stage includes both lecithotrophic veligers and juveniles from each egg mass. Diagnostic features were examined among animals from different populations of H. callidegenita and two other Haminoea species found in the northeast Pacific: H. vesicula Gould, 1855 and H. virescens Sowerby, 1833. Shell shape was slightly variable among individuals of all three species and radula morphologies were variable among populations of H. vesicula. Fingerlike papillae were noted on the gizzard plates and are suggested as a diagnostic character.

Subjective Synonym

A new species of fossil isopod, Palaega goedertorum, is described from late Eocene to early Miocene rocks of the Twin River Group, the Astoria Formation, and unit B of Wolfe and McKee (1968) in the state of Washington. These fossil forms are similar to living forms referred to the genus Bathynomus A. Milne-Edwards, 1879; hence, Bathynomus is considered a junior subjective synonym of Palaega Woodward, 1870. Since extant species of Palaega are known only from bathyal habitats, these occurrences tend to corroborate the deep-water paleoenvironmental setting of these rock units. This is the first report of Palaega from the eastern Pacific region.

A New Species

A new species of Coccomyces is described. The life cycle and cultural characteristics are presented. The fungus is associated with various bark diseases of western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) in the Coastal forest of British Columbia and Washington State. Some evidence of weak parasitism was found in natural infections; artificial inoculations with the fungus were negative.
