Leafhoppers of the tribe Athysanini are commonly known to inhabit canopies of tropical forests among other habitats but remain among the least studied. The tribe is largely unsampled in most tropical forests and its particular natural history remains poorly understood in the Neotropical region. Most available data is held in museums with scarce specimens which have not been explored yet. In the present contribution, after an ongoing search in three Costa Rican collections a total of 34 specimens were located and studied in detail. Four arboreal leafhoppers species of the tribe Athysanini represent remarkable findings for Central America, in which Bonneyana caldwelli (Delong, 1946), Copididonus brunneus Zanol and Sakakibara, 1990, and Zabrosa sexpunctata (Beamer, 1939) are here presented as the first known records to Costa Rica; meanwhile Scaphoidula incisa Oman, 1937 was recorded all over Costa Rican forests. Variation in morphology of specimens studied and range expansion of distribution are discussed.

Managing Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel): prioritising host plants using the host reproduction number - Bernard C. Dominiak; Jessica L. Hoskins (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2025)
The number of adult fruit flies that can emerge from one kilogram of fruit is termed the Host Reproduction Number (HRN). HRN can be used to determine the level of host suitability, or the Host Suitability Index (HSI), is revolutionary because HRN makes assessment of incursion risk, risk of establishment or spread potential of tephritids easier. The HSI is a useful tool for managers to develop surveillance protocols or regulatory responses to fruit fly incursions associated with international horticultural trade. However, there is currently no comprehensive list of HRN and associated HSI classifications for Oriental fruit fly (OFF) Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel). Oriental fruit fly is a tephritid fruit fly pest renowned globally for invasion success and crop destruction. In this study, we reviewed the OFF host suitability literature with the aim of providing a comprehensive list of categorised HRN data that could be used to inform fruit fly management decisions. In total, we found information on 613 B. dorsalis host plants. Of these, 138 had associated HRNs (22.5%) while 475 had no associated HRNs but were reported as host plants. Within the HRN group, the HSI classified these into 21 very good hosts, 66 good hosts, 39 moderately good hosts, 10 poor hosts, and 2 very poor hosts. There were 70 possible non hosts. We found that 20 plant species were in more than one HSI category. Surveillance measures and incursion management of OFF benefit from the incorporation of HRN values into existing policy. Currently, the usefulness of HRN values is limited by the large number of hosts (many of which are commercial) for which no associated HRN value is available. Also, the circumstances and geographic location in which HRN data was collected is missing. There would be great global benefit to OFF management programs if HRN could be determined and published in a consistent manner for a wider range of hosts and under a wider range of conditions.

First record of the invasive powderpost beetle Lyctus africanus Lesne (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) infesting wooden furniture in Italy - Giuliano Cerasa; Salvatore Guarino; Antonioni Acacio Campos Moliterno; Gaetano Matranga; Andrea Laschi; Marco Togni; Ezio Peri (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2025)
Wood-boring beetles are significant pests that can rapidly spread through wooden materials, leading to substantial global economic losses. Invasive species targeting wood are frequently detected in Europe and North America, with the recent climatic conditions in the Mediterranean where climatic conditions have facilitated their establishment. Among these, species from the Bostrichidae family are particularly noteworthy due to their impact. In this study, we report the first record of the non-native powder post beetle Lyctus africanus , in timber used for art crafts in Italy, indicating its spread. An early detection and rapid reporting are the most important actions in the successful management of such non-indigenous species. Additionally, we provide illustrations and diagnosis for pest identification. We then highlight the list of possible wood species hosts, provide a general overview of infestations and review the control options for this destructive pest including chemical treatments, use of pheromone traps and the search for biological agents.

Road-associated variation in insect abundance differs between three common orders - Nhlanhla P. S. Sempe; Catherine L. Sole; Natalie S. Haussmann (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2025)
The ecological impacts of roads are well-researched for many vertebrates, but studies are relatively lacking with regards to invertebrates. Here, changes in the abundance of ground-dwelling species of the three most common insect orders, Hymenoptera (specifically ants), Hemiptera (true bugs) and Coleoptera (beetles), with distance from a gravel road in a grassland system in South Africa, are documented. Insects were collected by means of pitfall traps ( n = 164) installed at 2, 5, 10 and 20 m perpendicular to a gravel road, and abundances of these three orders were compared statistically between the four distances. Whereas no significant differences in the numbers of Hymenoptera and Coleoptera were observed with distance from road, the abundance of Hemiptera was greater closer to the road. Our results show that quieter, low-traffic roads can affect the distribution of insect species at finer spatial scales.

Comparison of species diversity, richness, and abundance of dung beetles between wildlife and wildlife-livestock systems in north-eastern Namibia - Mukendwa Hosticks Ndozi; Linnet Gohole; Isaac Mapaure (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2025)
Assessing the species diversity, richness, and abundance of dung beetles in wildlife and wildlife-livestock systems is crucial in understanding the effects of anthropogenic processes on the community structures of dung beetles to improve conservation strategies in Namibia. We tested the hypothesis that the species diversity, richness, and abundance of dung beetles in wildlife systems will be better than in wildlife-livestock systems. Sampling of dung beetles was carried out using baited pitfall traps for a period of 12 months. Linear transects of 1.1 km in length were installed with 12 pitfall traps separated by a distance of 100 m from each other. An independent samples test was used to compare the abundance, richness, and diversity of dung beetles in two ecosystems. A total of 47,818 individuals were collected from both wildlife and wildlife-livestock systems belonging to 44 species, 25 genera, and 8 tribes. Dung beetle abundance, richness, and diversity were significantly higher in the wildlife system than in the wildlife-livestock system (T = 4.676, df = 59.04, p < 0.05; T = 1.825, df = 35, p < 0.05; T = 4.676, df = 59.04, p < 0.05). The wildlife system was more species-rich (n = 43) when compared to the wildlife-livestock system (n = 34). A higher Shannon-Wiener Index was reported in wildlife systems (H’ = 2.561) than in wildlife-livestock systems (H’ = 2.289). The results from the non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination demonstrated a dissimilarity (stress = 0.155) in species composition and abundance of dung beetles between the two systems. Different land-use systems have proven to have an impact on species assemblage of dung beetles. We concluded that wildlife systems in Namibia have a richer ecological and functional dung beetle community as compared to a wildlife-livestock system, most likely influenced by anthropogenic activities.

Can host reproduction number inform the invasion potential of Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), into endemic Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (Diptera: Tephritidae), areas in southeastern Australia? - Bernard Charles Dominiak (International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2025)
The competitive displacement of one tephritid species by another tephritid is much discussed but not well understood. In south-eastern Australia, Bactrocera tryoni is speculated to have competitively displaced Ceratitis capitata by 1953. Here, I compared the host reproduction number (HRN) in 37 host fruit for B. tryoni and C. capitata to calculate a reproductive advantage (RA) for each fruit fly. I found 17 hosts where the RA favoured C. capitata but this number declined after tropical hosts were removed from the list. There were four hosts with RA > 10. Regarding the RA for B. tryoni , I found 20 hosts favouring B. tryoni (12 with RA > 10) with several commonly grown hosts at the time of displacement. I speculate that HRN and RA may partly explain why B. tryoni displaced C. capitata. The possible role of other tephritids in the displacement of C. capitata could not be assessed due to lack of HRN data.
