corresponding habits.Carlo, at age 73, is still in good shape

and still working hard. For the first time inquite a while, he is not teaching, but work-ing as the librarian and secretary of the“Studio Teologico Missionario.” Cur-rently, no studies or projects are beingundertaken, and entomological activity islimited to collecting and increasing theholdings of the third P.I.M.E. Entomo-logical Museum.

The museum houses more than 130,000specimens, and about 1,500 specimens areadded each month. Help with identifica-tions in some of the groups comes fromcolleagues at both the Museum and Uni-versity of Milano.

More Web Notes

CHRYSOMELA no. 34 is still not up on theinternet. With any luck, I’ll be able to talkJeremy Chau into helping me compile both34 and 35 soon.

The last three numbers of CHRYSOMELA

were sent without an attached mailing list.There have been fewer requests for a printedlist, probably coincidental with the in-crease in the number of email addresses(about 130, pages 15 and 16).

Naturally, anything we can do to reducethe cost of this publication is worth consid-ering. The first step is to find out if anupdated mailing list is needed. Please

notice a special box on the enclosed ques-tionnaire regarding the possibilities for anupdated mailing, including posting it onthe internet.

THEFORVM

Whether bruchids be treated as a sub-family under the family Chrysomelidae oras a family under the superfamilyChrysomelo idea /Cerambycoidea /Phytophaga has been discussed in fourconsecutive numbers of CHRYSOMELA

(Kingsover, 1995; Reid, 1996; Verma andSaxena, 1996; Lingafelter and Pakaluk,1997). In the October, 1997 issue of CHRY-

SOMELA, Duckett has reconsidered theproblem, taking into account wider aspectsof systematics. In a similar vein I wish todraw attention of readers to the followingfrom Mayr and Ashlock (1991). The citedportions from these authors seem relevantto the problem of bruchid placement in thePhytophaga taxonomy.

1. “.... definitions for categories abovethe species are arbitrary.” (p. 134)

2. “There is hardly a higher taxon thatis not ranked higher by some specialistsand lower by others. It is by the arbitrari-ness of definition that all higher categoriesdiffer from the species category.” (p. 135)

3. “Most taxa above the family levelare sharply delimited. Mollusks, penguins,

beetles and indeed most higher taxa areseparated from their nearest relatives bya decided gap, far more distinct than gapsthat separate most genera and families.” (p.135)

4. “Like the genus, but perhaps to aneven greater degree, the family tends tobe distinguished by certain adaptive char-acters that fit it for a particular adaptivezone, e.g., the woodpeckers or the familyPicidae, the leaf beetles or the familyChrysomelidae.” (p.139)

5. “There is no criterion that will in-dicate whether a given group of generashould be considered a tribe, subfamily,family or superfamily.” (p. 138)

6. “The same period (1930’s and 40’s)saw two additional aspects come to thefore. One is what might be called the bio-logical approach to taxonomy. As taxono-mists moved more and more from themuseum into the field, they increasinglysupplemented morphological characterswith characteristics of living animals, suchas behavior, voice, ecological require-ments, physiology and biochemistry. Tax-onomy truly became biological tax-onomy... .” (p.13)

As is obvious from the above cita-tions, there is arbitrariness in making outof higher taxa (citation 1 and 2), and thatthe role of arbitrariness is more pro-nounced in case of the family and sub-family (citation 3 and 5). Quite naturally,therefore there is often difference of opin-ion among specialists about rank of ahigher taxon (citation 2), and, as there ismore of arbitrary approach at family-sub-family level, such differences of opinion

ControversyK. K. Verma, Durg.

should be more expected.In biological taxonomy ecological

data may be used to supplement other char-acters in making out a higher taxon (cita-tion 6), and this would be specially appro-priate at the family level (citation 4).Verma and Saxena (1996) suggested eco-logical features as a supplement to the dis-tinctive features of Bruchidae, pointed outby Kingsolver (1995). However, somereaders, it seems, have interpreted the com-munication as suggesting family status forBruchidae mainly/solely on basis of ecol-ogy.

In view of arbitrariness involved indeciding whether Bruchidae be treated asa family of a subfamily it would be best toretain the conventional family status forthe group, as stability is a consideration inclassification, though it may not be a ma-jor consideration.

H. R. Pajni was born in a small vil-lage in the District of Patiala (in the Pun-jab State of India) in1932. He receivedhis education fromthe GovernmentHigh School Amloh,D.A.V. College, Jal-landhar and Govern-ment College, Lu-dhiana; he graduatedfrom the Panjab Uni-versity in 1956.

Since his grad-uation in 1956, Dr.Pajni has been actively engaged in differ-ent aspects of Entomological research in-cluding morphology, biology, ecology, tax-onomy, development and pest control pro-grams. He has made intensive observa-tions on local insect fauna of different or-ders and made notable contributions to theknowledge of Indian Chrysomelidae,Bruchidae and Curculionidae. He was thefirst person to study the external genitaliaand internal reproductive organs of Indi-an Chrysomelidae. He described 20 gen-era and 81 species of Curculionidae andBruchidae, and served as a member of theexpert panel of Bruchidae of the Parisbased International Organization for Bio-logical Control (IOBC).

During his last 40 years, ProfessorPajni has published roughly 225 researchpapers in international journals, as well asa review of the biology of Indian bruchidsof economic importance and a volume ona subfamily of weevils for the Fauna ofIndia. He has investigated 15 research

projects pertaining to ecology and taxon-omy of Bruchidae and Curculionidae fund-

ed by various agen-cies, including U.S.PL.480, ICAR, DST,UGC and StateCouncils of Scienceand Technology ofHaryana and Chan-digarh. In addition,he has supervised 40Ph.D. theses andmore that 60 M.Scand M.Phil. disserta-tions. While study-

ing types of Indian insects, he visited theNatural History Museums in London, Par-is, Munich, Hamburg, Rome, Genoa andStockholm.

Dr. Pajni is a fellow of the Royal En-tomological Society of London and Ento-mological Society of India and a memberof several zoological and entomologicalsocieties. He was the Entomologist mem-ber of the Indian Council of Forestry Re-search from 1988-1992 and a member ofthe Selection Committee of Defense Re-search Organization, New Delhi (Entomol-ogy section).

Actively involved in the co-curricu-lar activities of the Panjab University, Pro-fessor Pajni led the National ServiceScheme Unit during 1975-1977, was amember of Panjab University Senate for afour year term (1989-92) and was Dean ofAlumni Relations during 1991-1992. Cur-rently, he is engaged in studies pertainingto polymorphism and biocontrol of commonIndian Bruchids of economic importance.

Chrysomelid Meetings

Since 1987 a group of Central-European leaf beetle work-ers have met anually during a weekend organised by the"Arbeitsgemeinschaft südwestdeutscher Koleopterologen". Dur-ing this weekend, held in an estateon a hill top near Stuttgart, papers arepresented on different aspects ofcoleopterology. During the 1997weekend there was one onChrysomelidae. Dieter Siede pre-sented an interesting paper on thepossibilities to separate female speci-mens of the genus Altica. The finalpublication (to be published inEntomologische Blätter) will containa key to identify female specimensof Altica from Central Eu-rope.

Apart from the presenta-tion of the formal papersthere was plenty of room forinformal meetings. One ofthese is the meeting on the"Faunistics of Central Euro-pean Chrysomelidae andBruchidae" (a short report onthis theme has been publishedin CHRYSOMELA 19-23:17). The main conclusion this year wasthat although there is much progress there still is much work to

be done both in filling of the database and in the acquisition ofreliable data. This years meeting was attended by Theo MichaelSchmitt (chairman), Ulf Arnold, Ron Beenen, Michel & Barbara

Bergeal, Robert Constantin, ManfredDöberl, Dieter Erber, Frank Fritzlar,Elisabeth Geiser, Uwe Heinig,Michael Langer and Dieter & Char-lotte Siede.

In another meeting someworkers discussed faunistic and taxo-nomic aspects of Galerucinae ofNepal. This meeting was attended byLev Medvedev, Eva Sprecher andRon Beenen. Lev and Eva are pre-paring a catalogue for Nepal. Ron had

been working on theGalerucinae of Nepal fromthe Natural History Museumin Erfurt. Between sessions, there

was time for discussion onall aspects concerning leafbeetles. Some of us usedthe break to look at leafbeetles in their natural sur-roundings. A population of

Galeruca pomonae inhabiting the hill was subject for ourobservations and study.

The First Italian Chrysomelidologists MeetingMilan October 19, 1997

The first meeting of theItalian Chrysomelidists washeld at the Milan NaturalHistory Museum. Partici-pants attending the meetingwere Carlo Leonardi, WalterFogato and wife, MauroDaccordi, Renato Regalin,Davide Sassi, and StefanoZoiz. Because of prior workcommittments, SandroRuffo, Maurizio Biondi, andRev. Carlo Brivio were un-able to attend.

The participants dis-cussed their current researchprojects, common programsin the Chrysomelidae, andthe basis for a book on the

leaf beetles of Italy. Thegroup also celebrated CarloLeonardi’s retirement andpresented him with somegifts including the last vol-ume of The Biology of theChrysomelidae, (Jolivet andCox) and a photo of Carlo inthe field collecting beetles; inany case, Carlo enters his re-tirement with new strength,and more free time to workon the Alticinae and themuseum’s Coleoptera collec-tion. The next meeting is

scheduled for 1998. Dateand location to be an-nounced.

Mid-Atlantic States Chrysomelid Workers—Two 1997 Field TripsCharlie and Suzy Staines, Edgewater

Field Trip No. OneJune 13-15, 1997, Blacksburg, Virginia

Local arrangements and collectingsite plans were made by Eric Day, InsectIdentification Lab, VPI&SU. Ed Riley

was vacationing in the area, so the field tripwas planned around his visit.

Chrysomelid workers attending wereShawn Clark, Dave Furth, AlexKonstantinov, Steve Lingafelter, Ed Riley,Eric Smith, and Charlie and Suzy Staines.Invited Guests were Eric Day, Sam Wells(Elateridae), and Volker Hollmann-Schirrmacher (Diptera).

The trip started out on a formal notewith Charlie Staines presenting a seminarto the Entomology Department ofBPI&SU entitled “An Inside Look at aTropical Biodiversity Project.” Charlieshowed slides and discussed theArthropods of La Selva Survey, the workof the Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad(INBio), and the University of Costa Rica.In addition to the chrysomelid workers,about 12 VPI&SU faculty and students at-tended. Not too bad for Friday at 3:00 pm.

Frey Collection Moved to BaselEva Sprecher, Basel

As many of you have heard by now, the German Ministry inBonn granted our Museum permission to export the famous col-lection of Dr. Georg Frey to Basel. On October 24, 1997, thebeetle collection entered Switzerland and is now in the Museumof Natural History. We have placed this wonderful collectioninto new museum shelving. Once more, it is ready for use by allscientists.

Due to the inaccessibility of the collection during the relo-cation process, loan transactions could not be completed. Pleaselet us know if you need specimens for your studies or wish toreturn Frey collection material.

For further information, contact the entomological depart-ment of the Natural History Museum of Basel. All correspon-dence concerning loans and visits should be directed to the cura-tor of the collection, Mrs. Eva Sprecher, Naturhistorisches Mu-

After the seminar, we went to EricDay’s farm for collecting, blacklighting,and a cookout. Collecting was fairly gooduntil a series of rain showers movedthrough the area. Eric, Dave, and Charliegot a workout by helping Eric Day put hayinto his barn before the rain started.

During the evening, we enjoyed con-versation about chrysomelids. Eric Dayand his wife, Nan Gray, and their twoyoung sons extended hospitality to thegroup for both nights of the trip. Some ofthe group slept in the hay loft.

After a sumptous breakfast of pan-cakes and Nan’s own blueberry syrup, thegroup went to examine the VPI insect col-lection. The first collecting site was at oneof the BPI research farms. The area alongthe river and the railroad tracks yieldedsome interesting specimens. At the sec-ond site on the main VPI campus, it beganto rain again. Following a late lunch, threemembers of the group departed while theremainder went to a site in the JeffersonNational Forest for average collecting insome interesting habitat.

Thanks to Eric Day and Nan Gray, thetrip was enjoyable and profitable.

Field Trip No. TwoAugust 23, 1997, Held at the PatuxentResearch Refuge in Laurel, Maryland

This trip was to allow Kunio Suzuki(Toyama University, Japan) to meet withvarious chrysomelid workers and collectsome North America beetles.

Chrysomelid workers attending wereShawn Clark, Dave Furth, Jung E. Lee,Steve Lingafelter, Eric Smith, Charlie andSuzy Staines, and Kunio Suzuki. Invitedguests were Warren Steiner (SmithsonianInstitution), Jill Swearingen (National ParkService), Alex Harman (USDA-SEL con-

tractor), Jennifer Fairman, Jennifer Gen-try, and Bill Scavone (Johns Hopkins Uni-versity students).

The weather on the 23rd was beauti-ful. The group assembled at the Refugecontact station at 9:30 am for an orienta-tion. Warren Steiner, who has done fieldwork at the Refuge for several years, tookthe group to three locations looking forchrysomelids. Collecting was fair, withover 20 species taken. Due to the droughtin Maryland, most of the late summer spe-cies were not present in the usual largenumbers.

The group finished the day with agood dinner at a Mexican food restaurantin Greenbelt which was recommended byJill and Warren.


A European pest of lilies, Liliocerislilii (Scopoli), has been established in theUSA since 1992 (Day 1993) and is report-ed to be a serious pest on cultivated lilyplants (Livingston 1996). The origin ofthis genus appears to be in China becauseof the high diversity of both Lilioceris andlily species there. Of 142 species of Lilio-ceris catalogued (Berti & Rapilly 1976),60 are Oriental. The senior author went toChina during the summer of 1996 in searchof potential biocontrol agents for L. lilii,where museum specimens and the Chi-nese literature were reviewed.

L. lilii was first questionably reportedin China, from East Mongolia and Kirin,by Liu (1935). Liu did not see the speci-mens himself, did not verify the localities,and cited no references. Wu (1936) alsoreported L. lilii from the same localities inhis voluminous Catalogue, apparently in-dependent of Liu’s work. Gressitt & Kim-oto (1961) recorded 41 species for China,but they raised doubt as to the occurrenceof L. lilii in China and did not include it intheir keys for Chinese Lilioceris species.Since the definitive work of Gressitt &Kimoto, three more new species have beendescribed from South China, increasingthe list of Chinese Lilioceris (Long 1988).

L. lilii is widespread throughout Eu-rope and Russia east from the Caucasus toSiberia and Tuva. It occurs in Kazakh-stan’s Dzhungan Mountains and Mongo-lia’s Altai Ranges (Lopatin 1977), both ofwhich border China. It seems unlikely thatthere is any natural barrier preventing L.

lilii from crossing the Chinese border, thusincreasing the probability the L. lilii alsoexists in China.

The work of re-examining specimensused by earlier Chinese workers was lim-ited to the collections in Zhongshan Uni-versity in Guangzhou and the Institute ofZoology, Academia Sinica, in Beijing,neither of which held specimens of L. lilii.The fact that we found no records of L. liliiin China probably simply reflects the lackof systematic work done on Lilioceris inChina.

However, we found ample evidenceof pest species in the genus Lilioceris inChina. Nineteen species are reported to beeconomically important (Tan et al. 1980).They feed on species of Lilium (Liliaceae,wild lily), Tricyrtis (Liliaceae), Smilax(Liliaceae, greenbriar), Triticum (Grami-nae, wheat),Dioscorea (Dioscoreaceae,yam), Quercus (Fagaceae, oak), Polygon-um (Polygonaceae, knotweed), Corylus(Corylaceae, hazel), and Schefflera (Ara-liaceae) (Tan et al. 1980, Long 1986).Among the pest records, more that 50%were found feeding on lilies, and almost80% on monocotyledons. Most of thesepest species occur south of 38° N, but threeoccur north of 45° N.

We believe that the species diversityand widespread distribution of Liliocerisin China suggests an excellent potentialfor finding natural enemies of Lilioceristhere. It is probable the L. lilii not onlyexists in Jilin (Kirin), a northeastern prov-ince, as previously reported, but also in the

northeastern most Heilongjiang province,and provinces to the west such as Xinjiangand Inner Mongolia the broadly borderKazakhstan’s Dzhungan Mountains andMongolia’s Altai Ranges. However, col-lecting there would be more challengingthan other places.

The 15th Annual Meeting of the North American Chrysomelid WorkersThe meeting of U. S. Chrysomelid-

ists was held on December 16, 1997 inconjunction with the Annual Meetings ofthe Entomological Society of America inNashville Tennessee. Sixteen people at-tended: Fred Andrews, Greg Bartman, JoeCavey, Shawn Clark, Brian Farrell, Hen-ry Hespenheide, Alex Konstantinov, SteveLingafelter, Wenhua Lu, Patrick Marqu-ez, John Pickle, Bill Ruesink, Terry Seeno,Eric Smith, Mike Thomas, and Bill Warn-er. Dave Furth did his usual excellent jobof presiding over the introductions andpresentations.


I went to Brazil to collect adults andlarvae of oedionychines (big round, col-orful flea beetles with globose hind tarsi).The Oedionychina contains about 26 gen-era dispersed in the continents which onceformed Gondwana (minus Australia) and,like many chrysomelid groups, are lack-ing in good phylogenies and larval descrip-tions. While in Brazil, my primary goalswere to get larvae, investigate larval lifehistories, and obtain adults for morpholog-ical and DNA analysis.

At the generic level, the oedionychinefauna of southern Brazil is one of mostdiverse in the world. This group is rela-tively well known thanks to the efforts ofvarious individuals like Padre Pio Buck(and his collection at Colegio Anchieta),and Jan and Mila Bechyné. Porto Alegreis also home to Fundacao Zoobotanicawhere my hosts Maria H. Galileo (Ceram-byicidae) and Luciano Moura work.

My secondary goals were to exploremore ecologically based collection meth-ods with Luciano, the results of which pro-vided for me some of the biggest surpris-es (discussed below). Brazil is fabled forits diversity, and I had a chance to marvelat the amazing insect fauna. In the pro-cess of working with alticines, I rearedother groups as well. That has led to aninfatuation with cassidines and a seriousaffair with galerucines(mediated partly by Lu-ciano, we are now describ-ing several galerucine lar-vae together).

I am also continuingto get to know Brazil andBrazilians and the very ac-tive and interesting chry-somelid and beetle basedresearch community inBrazil. Brazil is great; thepeople are a very friendly,hard working, hard playingpeople, easy to work with and have funwith. There is a great deal of intellectualenergy circulating in Brazil that we aregoing to see and experience at the interna-tional meetings in Foz do Iguacu in 2000.

This hard work/play style is epito-mized by Lenice Medeiros and Luciano.I started off in Porto Alegre where Luciano

and his advisor, Maria Helena, were myhosts at Fundacao Zoobotanica and Len-ice was my host at her home. It was veryexciting to discuss chrysomelid systemat-ics during the day with Luciano and thengo home and discuss ecology with Len-ice. Later in the season, I brought live fieldcollected samples home where Lenice andI often discussed them at the dinner table.(Her husbandis incrediblypatient.)

R i oGrande doSul, thesouthernmoststate in Bra-zil, was theprincipal siteof my fieldc o l l e c t i n gtrip. I wasvery im-pressed bytwo things: first, the great difference be-tween the “pampas” area of the state andthe Atlantic rainforest (both faunisticallyand ecologically); and second, the impor-tance of ecological data to collecting. Iwas principally in two places: Canguçu inthe southern part of the state is a grass-land area composed of rolling hills with

trees and brush in swampyareas and near streams;Maquiné, is in the south-ern most part of Brazil’sAtlantic rainforest, wherehigh hills meet the costalplain. In Canguçu, I wason a ranch managed usingnative grasses in an attemptat sustainable agriculture;in Maquiné I was at an ex-periment station with pri-mary and secondary nativeforest, as well as swamps,

pastures and patches of nonnative trees.Canguçu is at 31˚ S and Maquiné at 28.5˚S. Because of the latitude, the fact thatCanguçu is a grassland environment, andbecause of land use history, I was not sur-prised to find fewer species of chry-somelids and other insects than inMaquiné, which is very diverse floristical-

ly. However, the difference between thetwo habitats was extremely marked despitesignificant overlap in potential host plants.Canguçu is a resource controlled systemfor chrysomelids, and Maquiné is a pred-ator controlled system. In Canguçu manyspecies of pasture plants, such as theSolanum that Lenice Medeiros works on(and other species), were dripping withcassidines, another Solanum species“cried” Schematiza (Galerucinae) larvae.Around the stream beds, Lema apicalis andtheir larvae were ubiquitous; Megistops,

Paranaita and Ala-goasa were some-times found morethan a dozen to aplant. In Conguçuit wasn’t quite assimple as “ if youfind the host plantyou can find the in-sect,” but if the hostplant was abundant,beetles could befound and often inlarge numbers. Theonly significant nat-

ural enemies I found were tachinid para-sitoids of larvae. I did not ever see adultsor larvae directly victimized by predators.

In Maquiné the situation was entirelyreversed. Host plants could be commonand beetles unseen; predators were the or-der of the day. I found a fair amount ofthe host plant of Schematiza flavofaciata,the beetle that I had found so many of inCanguçu, and not one single Schematizafound in 22 days collecting; that was alsotrue of Paranaita. Other species whosehost plants were abundant though beetleswere not, included Megistops vandepolliand Alagoasa 10-gutatta. However, I didfind abundant Reduviidae, Pentatomidae,Tachinidae as well as parasitic Hy-menoptera. I also saw predation in the act,which is unusual to me—cassidines beingpried off leaves by Reduviidae—their lar-vae sticking off the probosci of Pentato-midae, as were adult flea beetles and Gal-erucinae as well. The level of parasitismin the field was also very high. 100% ofDrepanocassis profana that I tried to rearyielded tachinid larvae (n=3, not from thesame clutch). A very common cassidine,Cistudinella notata, was 20% parasitizedin a large rearing (n=45). Only one larvayielded a hymenopterous hyperparasite

(currently being identified by Ayers Men-ezes, who I met in Maquiné through Len-ice’s advisor, Gilson Moreira).

The parasitoids also get to the larvaeearly; 10% of Yingaresca holosericea lar-vae appeared to be parasitized in their firstday of larval life. While in Canguçu, I re-ally had to work hard to find most of thebeetles I was working on, so I became re-

ally quite attuned to their abundance andto ecological factors which seemed to becorrelated with finding them. These fac-tors include light levels, time of day andpresence of other potential food plants inthe area. I got to the point where I wouldmake a mental note of all these factors eachtime I found a desired beetle. This was tobe very important in the field later inMaquiné with Luciano.

My first important hypothesis formu-lated with this data concerned Paranaitasp. The ‘keystone species’ in the Canguçuplant community (as far as Oedionychiniare concerned) is Buddeleja sp; Megistopsvandipolli, Alagoasa 10-guttata, Alagoasascissa, and Paranita opima and P. bilim-bata all feed on it at least part of the time.I noticed that I always found Paranitabilimbata in the shade and then not in largenumbers. I hypothesized that it might bea deep shade species and started lookingfor verbenaceous trees in the woods. Ifound five individuals in the first hour!Looking in deep shade also led me to thelarvae of Alagoasa hypolysia (previouslyonly known from four specimens).

In Maquiné, at first I did not have tobe so tuned to time of day and shade orsun, because the beetles were so diversethat I was always collecting. However,

later when I needed to lengthen my seriesand to try to find gravid females for egglaying, I again needed to take notice ofwhen and how I found beetles. This ledLuciano and I to Neolochmea (low lightlevels, shade or night) and enabled us todistinguish habitats for Yingaresca diffici-lis (shade) from Y. holosericea (full sun tolight shade). Omophoita 8-guttata and O.personata are a daytime, highlight level species, O. 8-guttatabecoming active earlier than O.personata (noonish); whereasWalterianella bucki and Capria-ta clarissa become really activeonly at night. Some species ap-pear more aphasic such as Megis-tops and Alagoasa arcifera. Interms of finding larvae not asmany of the species of Oediony-chini, as expected, have nocturnallarvae. I had to be creative interms of getting species to layeggs in the “lab” and trying to rearlarvae. In the course of this I have dis-covered the usefulness of plastic boxes.Eggs laid on or in soil need extremely highhumidity, and field cages offer too muchventilation. I should have bought stock inPlasvale®, (the Brazilian equivalent ofTupperware®). Most Oedionychina layeggs on/in soil, even if their larvae are fo-liverous (as are all of the Alagoasas I foundin the field). I have found that at least theabove mentioned species of Walterianel-la and Capraita definitely have intersti-tial larvae and had some success rearingthem in plastic ware.

After I left the field I traveled to thecollections in Curitiba and São Paulo. InSão Paulo, I had the pleasure of meetingTiago C. Ramos for the first time and re-newing my friendship with my collabora-tor Sônia Casari. Sônia’s principal work

is on Elateridae, but she has publishedmore than one larval description in theChrysomelidae. Tiago is a young energeticbiologist who is interested both in theo-retical and field aspects of chrysomelid bi-ology. We had several stimulating discus-sions, both in the museum and on a fieldtrip he graciously organized. Needless tosay, we spent a lot of time draped over

drawers of their magnificent collection,commenting on bugs we knew. In Curitiba I also caught up on the newswith Cibele Ribero-Costa and met the upand coming Marcello Caxambú. He hasjust finished his master’s thesis on Lam-prosoma sp. in the school of forestry un-der the guidance of Lucia de Alemeida andJosé H. Pedrosa. Pedrosa (as he likes tobe called) and Marcello took me collect-ing in the Atlantic rainforest of Paraná fora day, and I almost died of felicity. Therewere abundant Buddeleja, and I collectednine species in seven genera just of Oedi-onychina! My companions were also im-pressed. The Pedrosa lab is working onseveral projects for biocontrol of weeds inHawaii, using chrysomelids. I wascharmed by their kindness and desire forcollaboration. Needless to say I had anexcellent time with them, as I had on myentire trip. I think the chrysomelid com-munity is very lucky that we have suchfriendly active colleagues in Brazil. I pre-dict a wonderful International Congress.

Four Notes FromICE XXI President Gazzoni

Dear Entomologist: The organizingcommittee of the XXI International Con-gress of Entomology is now calling forsymposia. We are accepting suggestionsfor symposia according to the rules thatcan be found at http://www.embrapa.br/ice/symposia.htm. We will receive sug-gestions up to June 1998. The scientificprogram committee will organize each ses-sion with 12 symposia, choosen among theones that fulfill the formal and scientificrequirements of the XXI ICE. All the ento-mologists that have asked us informationabout symposia, along this year, should for-mally submit the symposia now, as we didnot register any of the previous ideas as aformal submission. Thank you for helpingthe organizing committee. (12/10/97)

Dear Entomologist: If you have anysuggestion or need any kind of informa-tion regarding the XXI ICE symposia, orother scientific issues of the Congress, youcan contact the President of the ScientificProgram Committee, Dr. F. Moscardi, at<[email protected]>. Non sci-entific issues of the Congress can be ob-tained at <[email protected]>. (1/19.98)

Dear Entomologist: As we informedbefore, up to June 30 the organizing com-mittee will consider suggestions for sym-posia. After that date, the convenors ofeach one of the 23 sessions will preparethe final program, and we regret not toconsider suggestions received after June30. We received a lot of suggestions up tonow, but if you are interested in organiz-ing or suggesting a symposia, please con-tact the President of the Scientific Com-mittee, Dr. F. Moscardi, at<[email protected]>. Duringnext July we will call for plenary lecturessuggestions, so, just start thinking aboutideas for these conferences. (3/13/98)

Dear Entomologist: We have receiveda lot of suggestions for the XXI ICE sym-posia. Some of them needed several nego-tiation rounds as they did not conform tothe symposia rules. This way, we stronglyrecommend to the entomologists desiringto submit a symposia to carefully read thesymposia instructions on our homepage(http://www.embrapa.br/ice).

We were asked about the possibilityof a symposium cover more than one peri-

Collaborator Wanted forMexican Chrysomelids

Astrid Eben (Xalapa, Mexico) is look-ing for specialists on all subfamilies ofChrysomelidae who want to collaborate ona project on the Biogeography and Taxon-omy of Mexican Chrysomelidae. The ob-jetive of the project is to compile a spe-cies list on Chrysomelidae in the State ofVeracruz, including host plant recordswhenever possible. The specimen collect-ed would need to be identified to the low-est possible level by the subfamily special-ists. Galerucinae are especially important.

If you are interested in this project andare willing to identify neotropical species,please contact Dr. Astrid Eben, Institutode Ecologia, A.C., Apdo. Postal 63, 91000Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico;. Fax: (52) 28 1878 09; email: [email protected]

ICIPE needs literature

Scott Miller reports that the library ofThe International Centre of InsectPhysiology and Ecology (an internationalresearch center based in Nairobi) is verypoor in taxonomic literature. Holdings ofNorth American entomological journalsare especially poor, although journals fromother areas of the world are slightly betterrepresented. Ent. Soc. Amer. publicationsand Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash. are relativelycomplete from the mid-1970’s to present,otherwise the library has few US or Cana-dian journals or monograph series in en-tomology.

ICIPE’s books and monographs aredatabased and Scott hopes to get the hold-ings on the WWW soon. The journals,however, are not catalogued; there are sofew of them it’s easy just to check theshelves.

Any good runs of major journals thatanyone may have surplus for redistribu-tion will be put to good use. ICIPE wouldbe happy to pay the postage. Anyone in-terested should contact Scott at<[email protected]> or<[email protected]>.

od ( morning or afternoon). At first, therewill be no problem. It will all depend onthe session convenor, as each session willbe limited to only 12 possible symposia.If a symposium is to cover 3 periods, wewill be limited to only 10 symposia on thatsession.

We deeply express our thanks to theentomologists that are cooperating with thescientific committee, and remember, wewill accept suggestions only until June (4/20/98).
