“…The vine mealybug was recently reported to have replaced the citrus mealybug in pomegranate orchards in Turkey and Israel (Cocuzza et al ., ). The reduced development of P. citri on grapevine can therefore also be a result of niche overlap and interspecific competition with P. ficus .…”

1 Mealybugs are major pests in grape-growing areas worldwide, causing direct and indirect crop damage. The vine mealybug Planococcus ficus (Signoret) is a key pest in most of grape-producing countries, whereas the citrus mealybug Planococcus citri (Risso) is reported as being destructive in Brazilian and Spanish vineyards. 2 We examined the adaptation of the citrus mealybug to grapevine by investigating its development, reproduction and life-history parameters under Mediterranean field conditions in comparison with those of P. ficus. 3 Both mealybug species developed and reproduced successfully on grapevine. However, P. ficus showed a shorter development time, larger female body size, and higher fecundity, fertility and survival than P. citri. 4 The life-history parameters further highlighted the different growth potential of vine and citrus mealybug populations because P. ficus exhibited a net reproductive rate and an intrinsic rate of increase two-to four-fold higher than that of P. citri. Furthermore, the vine mealybug population doubled its number in approximately half time with respect to the citrus mealybug. 5 Overall, the results of the present study show a better development and reproductive performance and a higher population growth potential of P. ficus compared with P. citri, indicating a higher capacity of the vine mealybug to develop on grapevine in Mediterranean vineyards.

“…This was thanks to the work carried out by the Department of Agricultural Sciences of the University of Sassari, especially from 1997 to 2010, when a survey on wild pollinators was conducted, jointly with eight other research teams in Italy, using a unique scheme for monitoring the bee fauna [ 18 ]. The increased knowledge of this group of insects is of primary importance for knowing the local populations of pollinators of wild and cultivated plants [ 18 , 56 ]. In this context, studies have focused on the role of pollinators in certain agroecosystems or crops, such as the pollinators of white clover ( Trifolium repens L.) in northern Sardinia [ 57 ], where the primary role of the wild bees belonging to Andrena , Megachile , and Osmia genera was evidenced.…”

In Sardinia, the second largest Mediterranean island, 316 species of bees are known. Here, for the first time, the following 20 taxa are reported: Colletes cunicularius (Linnaeus, 1761), and C. eous Morice, 1904 (Colletidae); Andrena humilis Imhoff, 1832, A. granulosa Pérez, 1902, A. cineraria (Linnaeus, 1758), A. pallitarsis Pérez, 1903, A. rugulosa Stöckhert, 1935, A. savignyi Spinola, 1838, and A. tenuistriata Pérez, 1895 (Andrenidae); Sphecodes reticulatus Thomson, 1870 (Halictidae); Lithurgus tibialis Morawitz, 1875, Chelostoma emarginatum (Nylander, 1856), Dioxys cinctus (Jurine, 1807), Coelioxys caudatus Spinola, 1838, C. obtusus Pérez, 1884, and Megachile ericetorum (Lepeletier, 1841) (Megachilidae); and Nomada melathoracica Imhoff, 1834, N. pulchra Arnold, 1888, Eucera proxima Morawitz, 1875 and Tetralonia malvae (Rossi, 1790) (Apidae). N. pulchra is reported for the first time in Italy.

First record of Deudorix livia (Lepidoptera: Lycanidae) from Algeria: an important pest of pomegranate and date palm In the framework of an entomological study carried out from 2013 to 2017 aiming to identify a harmful organism in several oases of the northern Sahara of Algeria, the authors have identified the presence of Deudorix livia (Klug, 1834) (Lepidoptera: Lycanidae). This is the first record of this species in the northern Sahara of Algeria. This insect is an important pest of the fruits of two crops: the date palm and the pomegranate tree. The main criteria for determining this species are specified, as well as the host plants on which the insect was observed. The symptoms and damage that have been observed are also detailed. The authors describe the different Algerian localities where this species has been reported, and discuss the potential economic impact of this pest.
