“…It has been thought to be a lantana specialist (Winder and Harley 1983). The Myoporaceae and Verbenaceae are in the same order -the Lamiales (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group 1998), but lantana and naio are not closely related.…”

Predictable risk to native plants in weed biological control

Data on field host use of 112 insects, 3 fungi, 1 mite, and 1 nematode established for biological control of weeds in Hawaii, the continental United States, and the Caribbean indicate that the risk to native flora can be judged reliably before introduction. Virtually all risk is borne by native plant species that are closely related to target weeds. Fifteen species of insects introduced for biological control use 41 native plant species; 36 of which are congeneric with target weeds, while 4 others belong to two closely allied genera. Only 1 of 117 established biological organisms uses a native plant unrelated to the target weed. Thus the elements of protection for the native flora are the selection of weed targets that have few or no native congeners and the introduction of biological control organisms with suitably narrow diets.

“…Harley and Kassulke (1974) reported that C. lantanae was introduced into Australia to control Lantana in 1974. After 9 years, Winder and Harley (1983) reported that the population of C. lantanae had increased. In Australia, the insect spread from coastal Queensland to Darwin, possibly in potted plants via the nursery trade (Harley, personal communication, 1985).…”

234 Short CommunicationsPoor control of either of the weed particularly at lower rates of post-emergence herbicides resulted in significantly lower grain yield of mungbean than weed free plots (Table 1). Maximum grain yield of mungbean i.e. 1456 and 1486 kg/ha were obtained in 1984 and 1985 in the weed free plots, respectively. Higher rates of sethoxydim, fomesafen and fluazifop-butyl, hand weeding twice at 20 + 40 d.a.s. in both years and fluchloralin at 1-0 kg/ha in 1985, produced grain yield equal to that obtained in weed free plots. Grain yield recorded in fomesafen at 0-125 in both years, sethoxydin and fluazifop-butyl both at 0-5 kg/ha in 1984, did not differ significantly from weedy control yields. It is further supported by a significant positive correlation coefficient (r = 0-719 and 0-946) obtained between pods and grain yield during 1984 and 1985, respectively.From the above study it can be suggested that in areas where only grassy weeds like E. colonum is the problem weed, the use of sethoxydim or fluzifop-butyl at 1-0 kg a.i./ha as post-emergence spray, i.e. 20 to 25 d.a.s. and where T. portulacastrum is a problem weed, use of fomesafen at 0-375 kg a.i./ha at 20 to 25 d.a.s. gave excellent control. However, in mixed weed population the mixture of these grass and non-grass killers may prove highly effective in mungbean. ANONYMOUS, 1980. Weed management in mungbean.

Calycomyza lantanae Frick and Ophiomyia lantanae (Froggatt) are recorded from Lantana camara L. in Malaysia. C. lantanae was recently collected from Papua New Guinea and Sulawesi, Indonesia. Both agromyzids are native to tropical Americas and were not deliberately introduced into Malaysia. This is the first case of a fortuitous biological control of a weed in Malaysia.

“…It is constituted by over 80 species distributed worldwide. Teleonemia elata Drake, T. harleyi Froeschner, T. prolixa (Stål), and T. scrupulosa Stål are Neotropical important species because they feed on Lantana camara (Winder & Harley 1983 ) and therefore have been used for the biocontrol of this weed which is considered to be among the world's ten worst invasive weeds. Teleonemia elata has been released in Australia, Cook Islands, South Africa, Uganda, and Zambia; T. harleyi and T. prolixa in Australia; and T. scrupulosa in Ascension Island, Australia, Fiji, Ghana, Guam, Hawaii, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Madagascar, Micronesia, New Caledonia, Niue, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, South Africa, St. Helena, Tanzania, Tonga, Uganda, Vanuatu, Zambia, Zanzibar, and Zimbabwe (Thomas and Ellison 2000 ).…”

The members of the Tingidae family are commonly known as "lace bugs" because of the lacelike appearance of their pronotum and hemelytra. The family is distributed worldwide and is constituted by three subfamilies, Tinginae, Cantacaderinae, and Vianaidinae; all of them represented in the Neotropical Region being the last one endemic of this region. There are around 300 genera and 2,500 species in this family, but for the Neotropical Region, there are known approximately 70 genera and 600 species; most of them belong to the subfamily Tinginae. All lace bugs are phytophagous and host specifi c, with a few exceptions. Among them, there are some that have economic importance as crop pests and others that are useful for controlling harmful weeds in fi eld crops. Herein we characterize and diagnose the family, we mention some of the most relevant aspects of their biology and ecology, and we provide a summary of its taxonomy with some comments about its phylogeny. The economically most relevant species of the Neotropical Region are listed; for all of them, we provide information about their host plants, distributions, and related literature. We also developed a key to the most economically important Neotropical genera.
