AB  - Neoaliturus fenestratus (Herrich-Schäffer 1834) is a polyphagous leafhopper widespread throughout
Europe, particularly in ruderal habitats, i.e., abandoned fields, vineyards, and sparsely vegetated
meadows, commonly associated with different plants of the family Asteraceae (Nickel 2003).
Neoaliturus fenestratus is confirmed to transmit the safflower phyllody associated with phytoplasmas
from the 16SrI-B subgroup (Raccah & Klein 1982), Picris hieracioides bushy stunt caused by
phytoplasma from the 16SrII-E subgroup (Mitrović et al. 2012), lettuce phyllody and wild lettuce
phyllody associated with phytoplasmas belonging to the 16SrIX group (Salehi et al. 2007), and chicory
phyllody phytoplasma of the 16SrIX-C subgroup (Ermacora et al. 2013). Furthermore, Mitrović et al.
(2019) experimentally confirmed its vector role in transmitting 'Ca. P. solani' of the 16SrXII-A
subgroup to lettuce and carrot. In this study, N. fenestratus was investigated for its capacity to transmit
the 'Ca. P. solani' to grapevine (Vitis vinifera) and native plants commonly found in and/or around
vineyards in Serbia (Convolvulus arvensis, Calendula officinalis, Chenopodium album, and P.
hieracioides).

AB  - The planthopper Hyalesthes obsoletus Signoret, 1865 (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) is a major vector and
driver of 'Ca. Phytoplasma solani' epidemiology (Maixner, 1994; Jović & Toševski, 2023) and
associated diseases of cultivated plants, including the grapevine-Bois noir (BN) pathosystem. Because
of its strong association with its host plants as a subterranean nymph and short life span as an adult
(Cargnus et al., 2012), the epidemiological cycle is host plant-specific and is determined by the vector's
host range and the pathogen's reservoir range (Imo et al., 2013; Maixner et al., 2014). Although H.
obsoletus is commonly viewed as a polyphagous insect, there is plenty of proof of host plant adaptation
in its populations, which are referred to as host races, biotypes, or cryptic species (Imo et al., 2013;
Maixner et al., 2014; Kosovac et al., 2016; 2018; 2019). The first described and most prevalent
epidemiological cycles linked with distinct strains of 'Ca. P. solani' are driven by nettle and bindweed
as pathogen reservoir plants and H. obsoletus host plants (Langer & Maixner, 2004). The genetic
distinction between the two pathosystems was initially identified on the tuf gene and then verified by
secY, stamp, and vmp1 gene typing (Langer & Maixner, 2004; Johannesen et al., 2012; Aryan et al.,
2014). In Serbia and the Balkans, nettle-associated 'Ca. P. solani' genotypes are not commonly found
in BN-affected grapevine (Atanasova et al., 2015; Kosovac et al., 2016); hence, research on this
epidemiological pathway is neglected and available data are scarce. During more than a decade of
research on 'Ca. P. solani' epidemiology and H. obsoletus biology, ecology, and genetics in the
Balkans, we have frequently found the presence of "wrong" 'Ca. P. solani' genotypes in vector
specimens obtained from nettles. Here, we assess these findings and call into question the geographic
specificity of nettle-associated epidemiology in southeastern Europe.

AB  - The occurrence of Flavescence dorée (FD) disease of grapevine, its associated phytoplasma, FDp (a
member of the 16SrV taxonomic group of elm yellows, subgroups V-C and -D), and the main insect
vector, the deltocephalinae leafhopper of North American origin, Scaphoideus titanus, was first
evidenced in vineyards in Croatia in 2009 (Šeruga Musić et al., 2011; Plavec et al., 2015).
Contemporary identification of FDp in the climbing shrub Clematis vitalba as one of the main natural
reservoir plants in North Italy and the Balkans was also confirmed for Croatia (Filippin et al., 2009).
Subsequent studies aimed at determining the genetic diversity and structure of FDp populations and
tracing transmission pathways in Croatia revealed the invasive tree Ailanthus altissima and the natural
riparian tree Alnus glutinosa as natural FDp reservoirs (Plavec et al., 2019). However, the roles and
epidemiological importance of each of the identified reservoir plants remained unclear due to the
limited number of elaborated samples. Regarding the natural insect vectors of FDp from reservoir
plants to grapevine and their association with natural reservoir plants on the wider territory of Croatia,
particularly beyond vineyards in their natural habitats, not much is known. To understand the
epidemiological importance of FDp natural plant hosts and insect vectors, we performed surveys
targeting clematis, alders, and other tentative natural woody hosts of FDp in vineyard surroundings
and natural habitats in wine-producing regions of Croatia.

AB  - The planthopper Reptalus artemisiae (Becker, 1865) (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) is an emerging vector of
'Ca. Phytoplasma solani', and a well studied species for nearly two decades for its tentative, and later
proven, vector role in phytoplasma transmission (Trivellone et al., 2005; Chuche et al., 2016).
However, until recently, there was a misidentification of this taxon, leading to the incorrect
nomenclature of Reptalus quinquecostatus (Dufour, 1833) (Webb et al., 2013), which is actually the
name of another cixiidae species, previously known as Reptalus melanochaetus (Fieber, 1872) and
now considered as its junior synonym. The case of misidentification was presented and documented
in detail by Webb and coauthors (2013), while the question of naming Reptalus quinquecostatus sensu
Fieber was resolved by Emeljanov (2020), who made the necessary nomenclatural changes. The
changes were made following the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Article 70.3. We
present here an overview of the (in)correct use of the taxon names for the two species in the last three
years since the changes were made and make a plea for using the correct taxon names.

AB  - Bois noir (BN) disease of grapevine ('Ca. Phytoplasma solani', CaPsol,16S rRNA XII-A) was first
molecularly confirmed to affect vineyards in Croatia more than two decades ago (Škorić et al., 1998).
Presently, BN is widespread, occurring in most of the wine regions of the country (Plavec et al., 2018).
The diversity of CaPsol genotypes in Croatian vineyards indicates complex epidemiology, which was
recently confirmed in Istria, the westernmost grape-growing county of Croatia in the northeastern
Adriatic Sea (Delač et al., 2023). Euscelis incisus (Kirschbaum, 1858) is a nitrophilous, polyphagous
leafhopper, widely distributed throughout the Western Palaearctic region, inhabiting diverse habitats
(Nickel, 2003). Due to its wide distribution and ability to inhabit a variety of ecologically distinct
environments, this leafhopper can encounter diverse phytoplasmas that invade a wide range of plant
species. It has been established as a vector of the 16Sr I-B/C, III-B, and XII-A phytoplasma subgroups
and a carrier of the I-F/R, II-E, IX-C/E, and XI-G subgroups (Jakovljević et al., 2020). Its congener,
E. lineolatus (Brullé, 1832) was found to harbor I-B/C and XII-A subgroups, while its ability to act as
a phytoplasma vector has not been confirmed so far (Landi et al., 2013). The aim of this study was to
investigate the epidemiological and vector roles of E. incisus and co-occurring E. lineolatus in
transmitting CaPsol in BN-affected vineyards of Istria.

AB  - Flavescence dorée (FD) is a severe grapevine disease caused by FD phytoplasmas (FDp), impacting
major viticultural regions in Europe. The epidemic spread of FD within vineyards is facilitated by the
Nearctic leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus, completing its life cycle on Vitis sp. plants in Europe
(Chuche & Thiéry, 2014). Through genotyping of the informative house-keeping gene map, FDp has
been categorized into three genetic clusters, each associated with specific vector and reservoir plant
epidemiology or geographic distribution (Arnaud et al., 2007; Malembic-Maher et al., 2020).
Genotypes of the Map-FD2 cluster are most abundant in vineyards in France, Switzerland, Italy,
Croatia, and Slovenia, while FD3 prevails in the Balkans (reviewed in Krstić et al., 2022). Epidemic
outbreaks of FD in Serbian vineyards began in the early 2000s, and despite extensive preventive and
curative measures, today FD is affecting vineyard areas in all administrative districts in Serbia(Krstić
et al., 2022).Until recently, the M51 genotype belonging to the Map-FD3 cluster, which is common in
all districts and wine-growing regions, was the only genotype associated with the FDp outbreaks in
Serbian vineyards.Subsequent surveys in the late 2010s on the occurrence and diversityof FDp in
Serbian vineyards revealed for the first timetheoccurrence of other genotypes, including members of
the Map-FD2 cluster: M89, M148, and M155, indicating that FDp in Serbian vineyards is not
monotypic and has a complex epidemiology(Krstić et al., 2022). This discovery prompted a more indepth
investigation into the specific ecological factors contributing to disease outbreaks to assess the
significance of these new findings. Initial results from this research are presented herein.

AB  - “Flavescence dorée” (FD) outbreaks in Serbian vineyards first emerged in the
early 2000s and were directly correlated with dense populations of the North
American insect vector Scaphoideus titanus. The FD phytoplasma associated
with the disease was first treated as alien and introduced, like it happens for
its insect vector. However, the genetic peculiarities of FD phytoplasma strains
from Serbia, as well as their occurrence in native alder trees in riparian areas
and clematis plants in vineyard surroundings and in natural habitats, proved
otherwise. Molecular data on the ecological properties of epidemiological
cycles driving the epidemic outbreaks of FD in Serbia today indicated the
importance of alders as reservoir plants for the epidemics (Krstić et al., 2022).
Riparian habitats hosting alder trees, alongside wild Vitis, Salix sp., clematis,
tree of heaven, and other FD phytoplasmas reservoir plants, were screened for
native leafhopper vectors as well as for Orientus ishidae, a newly established
vector of Asian origin in Serbia (Cvrković et al., 2021). Leafhopper Allygus
modestus and A. mixtus were commonly found in association with alders
in many sites, with the former being the dominant species. An established
population of O. ishidae feeding on alders was found in a single location of
riparian habitat in eastern Serbia. Among the analyzed leafhopper specimens,
using epidemiologically informative map gene typing, nearly all A. modestus
individuals were found carrying FD or -related phytoplasmas, while nearly
50% of O. ishidae were found infected at the same location. However,
A. modestus specimens had a lower phytoplasma load (Cq > 25) than O. ishidae
(Cq < 20 in 50% of infected individuals), even though they were collected in
the same period of the year. When comparing the map genotypes carried
by each of the putative vector species, A. modestus most often carried AldY genotypes, while O. ishidae was dominantly found harboring FD phytoplasma
genotypes of both Map-FD1 and FD2 clusters. The experimental verification
of the transmission capability and role in FD phytoplasma epidemiology for
each of the leafhopper species is under study.

AB  - Given the ecological and epidemiological specialization of Hyalesthes obsoletus, the principle vector of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’, the primary objective of this study was to develop molecular tools for discriminating three host plant associations of the vector populations: (i) Convolvulus arvensis–Urtica dioica (Ca–Ud), (ii) Vitex agnus-castus (Vac), and (iii) Crepis foetida (Cf). The genetic diversity of the nearly full-length mitochondrial COI gene (1467 bp) was analyzed and compared among previously reported and newly collected individuals of the three host plant associations on a wide geographic range. Multiplex PCR was designed and evaluated for discriminating H. obsoletus host plant associations based on the size of amplified fragments: 1084 bp for the Cf association, 645 bp for the Ca–Ud association, and 355 bp for the Vac association. Examples of the epidemiological value of combining data on the genetic characteristics of the vector and the pathogen are provided. The method is intended to facilitate an accurate identification of the vector’s phylogenetic lineage, natural host plant preference, and epidemiological transmission routes of ‘Ca. P. solani’. When applied to H. obsoletus specimens collected from cultivated plants within an agroecosystem and combined with ‘Ca. P. solani’ genotyping, the method should provide valuable information on disease epidemiology, source(s) of emergence, and transmission routes.

AB  - A seed-feeding weevil introduced to North America (NA) as a biological control agent of the invasive toadflax Linaria dalmatica (L.) Mill., identified then as Gymnetron antirrhini “Dalmatian host race” and subsequently confirmed as established, was revealed through our study to be a separate species, i.e., Rhinusa dieckmanni (Behne) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). This weevil species was presumed to be endemic in its native range, with a distribution restricted to Mount Rila in southwestern Bulgaria. We conducted a comprehensive study of seed-feeding weevils associated with L. dalmatica, L. dalmatica ssp. macedonica (Griseb.) D.A. Sutton, L. genistifolia (L.) Mill., and L. grandiflora Desf. across a broad geographic area of their native range. Those results revealed that all four host plants were used by R. dieckmanni and thus the native geographic range of the species is wider than expected, encompassing the Balkans and the Anatolian Plateau. Our observations suggest that phenotypes of this weevil are highly variable and dependent on the seed capsule size of the Linaria host population. The haplotype network based on mitochondrial COII, 16S genes, and nuclear EF 1-α gene genealogy confirmed the conspecific nature of geographically distant weevil populations, that is, R. dieckmanni phenotypes utilizing L. genistifolia, L. dalmatica, and L. grandiflora for larval development. Specimens collected from L. dalmatica in the northwestern USA shared the same haplotypes as samples from L. dalmatica ssp. macedonica in southwestern North Macedonia, supporting the known introduction history of the North American population. Females from these populations have relatively short rostrums, which may limit their reproductive success on North American invasive L. dalmatica with larger seed capsules.

Mill., identified then as Gymnetron antirrhini “Dalmatian host race” and subsequently confirmed as established, was revealed through our study to be a separate species, i.e., Rhinusa dieckmanni (Behne) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). This weevil species was presumed to be endemic in its native range, with a distribution restricted to Mount Rila in southwestern Bulgaria. We conducted a comprehensive study of seed-feeding weevils associated with L. dalmatica, L. dalmatica ssp. macedonica (Griseb.) D.A. Sutton, L. genistifolia (L.) Mill., and L. grandiflora Desf. across a broad geographic area of their native range. Those results revealed that all four host plants were used by R. dieckmanni and thus the native geographic range of the species is wider than expected, encompassing the Balkans and the Anatolian Plateau. Our observations suggest that phenotypes of this weevil are highly variable and dependent on the seed capsule size of the Linaria host population.

AB  - Abstract Flavescence dorée (FD) is a severe and epidemic grapevine yellows disease, affecting most of the major European viticultural regions and classified as a quarantine pest. It is transmitted primarily by the ampelophagous Neartic deltocephalinae leafhopper, Scaphoideus titanus. The causative agent of the disease is FD phytoplasma (FDp), Vectotypes II and III, member of the 16S rRNA taxonomic subgroups V-C and V-D. Recent evidence indicates that FDp is native to Europe. Since 2018, vineyards in Montenegro have been subject to a preventive surveillance for the presence of FDp. In July of 2021, 56 samples of symptomatic grapevines were collected from vineyards in the major wine-growing regions. Using conventional nested PCR on the 16SrV group-specific FD9 marker (secY gene) and PCR-RFLP analysis of the 16S gene, the 16SrV-C phytoplasma subgroup was identified in a single grapevine from the Godinje location of the Crmnica wine subregion. The isolate was identified as Vectotype III, Map-FD3/VmpA-III genotype M51/III-c11 after characterizing the epidemiologicaly informative map and vmpA genes. In October of the same year, additional grapevines and potential reservoir or natural host plants of FDp and related phytoplasmas were sampled in the Godinje location. No new FDp-infected grapevines were found, indicating that this was likely an incidental transmission by natural, indigenous vectors and not an outbreak. However, one clematis and six alders were found carrying 16SrV group phytoplasmas and were subjected to map/vmpA typing, along with isolates of previously collected clematis plants in the Nudo wine region, and alder trees in non-viticultural areas and the potential wine region of Montenegrin North. The clematis plant in Godinje shared the same FDp Vectotype III as the infected vine, suggesting that clematis was the likely source of infection. On the other hand, alders in Godinje harbored VmpA-II cluster genotypes of either Map-FD2 M148 or AldY (alder yellows) M52, or multiple map gene sequences. Finally, all three FDp clusters of epidemic genotypes were found in clematis and alder reservoir plants in various regions of Montenegro. According to Map/VmpA Vectotype classification, clematis was identified as a potential source of FD3/III-c, and alders of FD1/III-f and FD2/II-d cluster genotypes. These findings call for stringent management and monitoring of S. titanus in Montenegrin vineyards to prevent FDp epidemic outbreaks.

AB  - Grapevine Yellows (GY) are economically important diseases associated to phytoplasmas (genus ‘Candidatus
Phytoplasma’), uncultivable bacteria from the class Mollicutes. In Euro-mediterranean region, GY are mainly
attributed to phytoplasmas belonging to ribosomal 16SrXII-A subgroup ('Ca. P. solani'; Bois Noir phytoplasma;
BNp) and 16SrV group (flavescence dorée phytoplasma; FDp), with the latter one being a quarantine pathogen
(Plavec et al. 2015, Quaglino et al. 2013). Although symptomatology can be similar, epidemiology of FDp and
BNp is very different as they are transmitted by different insect vectors and could have different alternative
hosts. In Croatia, GY diseases have been continuously monitored since 1997 with FDp appearing only in 2009
(Šeruga Musić et al. 2011). While BNp is more diverse and widespread, FDp belonging to 3 map phylogenetic
clusters are differently distributed throughout regions. Istria is heavily affected with FDp since 2014 with only
one genotype (mapFD2/M54) being attributed to great losses (Plavec et al. 2019). On the contrary, information
on BNp diversity is scarce with only couple of genotypes detected so far (Plavec et al, manuscript in
preparation). Therefore, the aim of this case study was to assess the diversity of BNp genotypes in a small
selected area of Istria, in order to draw attention to the presence and importance of BNp as GY agent in this
important Croatian viticultural region.

AB  - Understanding the factors that drive the prevalence of endosymbionts in natural populations is a
central goal of evolutionary ecology. The success of maternally transmitted symbionts can be
explained by three parameters: reproductive manipulations of the host, vertical transmission
rates and effects on host fitness. Those parameters can be modulated by both environmental
and genetic factors. The Wolbachia strain wSuz, which infects the invasive pest species
Drosophila suzukii, is a canonical example of maternally transmitted symbiont with low to
intermediate prevalence in host populations and weak reproductive manipulation. For Wolbachia
strains with such properties, the mechanisms inherent to the infection dynamics remain poorly
understood. We investigated infection frequencies and wSuz intra-strain polymorphism in 24
natural populations of D. suzukii from both native (China and Japan) and invasive areas (Europe
and America). Infection frequencies in populations from China were on average significantly
higher than those in populations from invasive areas. Based on the study of an insertion
sequence site and a genomic rearrangement polymorphism in wSuz genome, we could identify
three wSuz variants (i.e. European, American and Asian) corresponding to the initial sample
location. More in-depth investigations indicated that the European variant was also present in
some Asian populations and that one population from Europe included the European and
American variants. Additional analyses based on whole-genome sequencing of 70 D. suzukii
population samples showed lower Wolbachia genomic diversity in invasive populations
(America and Europe) than in native (Japan, Korea and China) populations, consistent with a
bottleneck in invasive populations. Finally, we analyzed two types of factors that could affect
Wolbachia infection frequencies in natural populations: climatic variation and
Wolbachia-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility. We found that variations in the strength of
cytoplasmic incompatibilities or in monthly temperatures were not sufficient to fully explain
observed prevalence pattern. Overall, our results show that, despite reduced intra-strain
genomic diversity, both population prevalence and phenotypic effects on host reproduction can
vary greatly among Wolbachia variants, suggesting complex interactions with host genetic
background and environmental factors.

AB  - Bois noir, an economically important disease of grapevine yellows that causes significant economic losses in wine production, is associated with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ and transmitted to grapevines by cixiids Hyalesthes obsoletus and Reptalus panzeri. Polyphagous planthopper Dictyophara europaea, commonly found in natural habitats, harbors phytoplasmas from distinct groups and is an alternative vector in the open epidemiological cycles of the Flavescence dorée phytoplasma in grapevine in European vineyards. This study addresses the role of D. europaea in the transmission cycle(s) of ‘Ca. P. solani’ among wild habitats, natural reservoir plants, and the vineyard agroecosystem using MLSA and transmission trials with naturally infected adults to grapevine and Catharanthus roseus. The infection rates of D. europaea ranged from 7% to 13% in diverse locations, while reservoir herbaceous plants were infected in the amount of 29%. A total of 13 CaPsol MLSA genotypes were detected in D. europaea (7) and plants (8). Nine of them corresponded to previously identified genotypes. Two new genotypes were found in D. europaea (tuf-b1/S1/V14/Rqg50-sv1 and tuf-b1/S18/V14/Rqg50-sv1) and one in Convolvulus arvensis (tuf-b1/S1/V2-TA/Rqg31-sv1), whereas one was shared by two hosts, Crepis foetida and Daucus carota (tuf-b1/S1/V2-TA/STOL-sv1). Naturally infected D. europaea successfully transmitted the tuf-b1/S1/V2-TA/STOL type to five grapevines and six periwinkles, tuf-b1/S1/V2-TA/Rqg31 to one grapevine, and tuf-b1/S1/V2-TA/Rqg50 to one periwinkle, indicating that D. europaea is an intermediate vector in CaPsol epidemiological cycles.

AB  - The immature stages of the following five Palaearctic Gymnetron species are described for the first time: G. tibiellum Desbrochers des Loges, 1900, G. veronicae (Germar, 1821), G. rotundicolle Gyllenhal, 1838, G. melanarium (Germar, 1821), and G. villosulum Gyllenhal, 1838. These species belong to four different groups previously established according to a phylogenetic analysis: the first two belong to the G. veronicae group and the other three to groups respectively bearing their name (G. rotundicolle, G. melanarium, and G. villosulum groups). All these species exhibit several diagnostic characters distinguishing them from each other. Some characters that can be used to separate Gymnetron from other genera in the tribe are also suggested. Three highly significant characters for the larvae and three for the pupae were identified. For the larvae they are: (1) labial palpi with single palpomeres, (2) all spiracles unicameral, and (3) epipharynx with a single pair of mes or none at all. For the pupae they are: (1) the pronotum with prominent pronotal protuberances, (2) abdominal segment VIII with a conical abdominal protuberance dorsally, and (3) very short or even reduced urogomphi. The species studied here are compared with those Gymnetron species already known and with other genera in the tribe Mecinini. Keys to the larvae and pupae described here are provided. All the characters used for identification are illustrated by photographs or drawings.

AB  - Grapevine rupestris stem pitting-associated virus (GRSPaV), a member of the genus Foveavirus, is a commonly detected grapevine virus around the world. Despite the broad and global distribution of GRSPaV, no information on its presence in Serbia had been available before this study. In October 2018, 3-year-old grapevine plants of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ showing reduced growth and leaf reddening were observed in the vicinity of Krnjevo locality. The results of an mRT-PCR test showed that only samples prepared from cortical scrapings of mature symptomatic grapevine canes yielded an amplicon of 155 bp that confirmed the presence of GRSPaV. No amplification products were recorded in samples prepared from basal leaves or petioles. A serological assay confirmed the presence of GRSPaV in all tested mature cane samples. For further analyses, the CP (coat protein) genes of two selected isolates (VL8 and VL15) of naturally infected grapevine canes were partially sequenced and six sequence variants were determined, showing a certain variability among them. The constructed phylogenetic tree revealed the grouping of Serbian sequence variants into separate subgroups within the same phylogenetic lineage. This is the first report of GRSPaV present in Serbia. Further monitoring and increased phytosanitary control measures are needed to prevent potential spreading and introduction of new virus variants.

AB  - During morphological and molecular studies of species of Rhamphus from southern and western Europe, the authors realized that some specimens currently identified as R. pulicarius (Herbst, 1795) and R. oxyacanthae (Marsham, 1802), two widely distributed species in Europe, belonged to different closely related taxa. Therefore, it was necessary to examine type specimens of these and other species considered synonymous or confused with them. It was possible to designate lectotypes for Rhamphus subaeneus Illiger, 1808 and Rhamphus kiesenwetteri Tournier, 1873. However, it was necessary to designate neotypes for: Curculio pulicarius Herbst, 1795, Curculio oxyacanthae Marsham, 1802 and Rhamphus flavicornis [Clairville], 1798. These three neotypes were sequenced for mtCOI and the sequences are now accessible online. Moreover, in accordance with Article 23.9 and the Principle of Priority of the Code, because of confirmed synonymy between R. oxyacanthae and R. flavicornis, the former name is officially proposed as nomen protectum and the latter as nomen oblitum. Detailed information regarding historical entomological collections in the Museum fr Naturkunde der Humboldt-Universitt of Berlin and the Clairville collection in the Naturhistorisches Museum of Basel, relating to our search for relevant type specimens, is provided.

AB  - Two new species of the weevil genus Rhamphus from Italy are herein described: R. bavierai n. sp. (Sicily) and R. hampsicora n. sp. (Sardinia). Both are morphologically and from a molecular perspective close to R. oxyacanthae (Marsham, 1802) and R. monzinii Pesarini & Diotti, 2012. Aside from a diagnostic description and a synoptic key, distribution data and notes on the host plants of the four species are reported. Whereas R. monzinii can be distinguished by several morphological characters, the other three species are morphologically very similar to each other and separable only by the combination of a few subtle characters. On the contrary, a preliminary molecular study revealed substantial divergences of mtCOI from 6.2 to 14.9% between the species, confirming the importance of an integrative taxonomy.

AB  - Orientus ishidae (Matsumura, 1902) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), known as the mosaic leafhopper, is an invasive alien species native to the Eastern Palaearctic, but also widespread and well established on the eastern territory of North America. Since its first detection in Europe in 1998, this polyphagous species has expanded its distribution area and rapidly spread through central and western European countries, inhabiting a wide range of broadleaf trees and shrubs (e.g. Gleditsia triacanthos, Salix spp., Corylus spp., Acer spp., Betula spp., Populus spp. and Carpinus spp.), which are usually present in the surrounding of vineyards. Over the last decade, O. ishidae was frequently found within European vineyards and was proven to be able to complete its life cycle on grapevine. Moreover, this leafhopper was shown to be naturally infected with the Flavescence dorée phytoplasma (FDp), a devastating disease which causes significant economic losses in the major vine-producing countries. This study provides data on the occurrence of O. ishidae in Serbia, clearly confirming that it has expanded its distribution range to the Balkan Peninsula which could lead to establishment of new FDp epidemiological cycles inside the local vineyard regions. As a consequence, there could be an increased negative impact on phytosanitary situation with a continual spread of this vector species and FDp epidemic outbreaks in Southeastern Europe.

As a consequence, there could be an increased negative impact on phytosanitary situation with a continual spread of this vector species and FDp epidemic outbreaks in Southeastern Europe.",

AB  - Flavescence dorée (FD) is a European quarantine grapevine disease transmitted by the Deltocephalinae leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus. Whereas this vector had been introduced from North America, the possible European origin of FD phytoplasma needed to be challenged and correlated with ecological and genetic drivers of FD emergence. For that purpose, a survey of genetic diversity of these phytoplasmas in grapevines, S. titanus, black alders, alder leafhoppers and clematis were conducted in five European countries. Out of 132 map genotypes, only 11 were associated to FD outbreaks, three were detected in clematis, whereas 127 were detected in alder trees, alder leafhoppers or in grapevines out of FD outbreaks. Most of the alder trees were found infected, including 8% with FD genotypes M6, M38 and M50, also present in alders neighboring FD-free vineyards and vineyard-free areas. The Macropsinae Oncopsis alni could transmit genotypes unable to achieve transmission by S. titanus, while the Deltocephalinae Allygus spp. and Orientus ishidae transmitted M38 and M50 that proved to be compatible with S. titanus. Variability of vmpA and vmpB adhesin-like genes clearly discriminated 3 genetic clusters. Cluster Vmp-I grouped genotypes only transmitted by O. alni, while clusters Vmp-II and -III grouped genotypes transmitted by Deltocephalinae leafhoppers. Interestingly, adhesin repeated domains evolved independently in cluster Vmp-I, whereas in clusters Vmp-II and–III showed recent duplications. Latex beads coated with various ratio of VmpA of clusters II and I, showed that cluster II VmpA promoted enhanced adhesion to the Deltocephalinae Euscelidius variegatus epithelial cells and were better retained in both E. variegatus and S. titanus midguts. Our data demonstrate that most FD phytoplasmas are endemic to European alders. Their emergence as grapevine epidemic pathogens appeared restricted to some genetic variants pre-existing in alders, whose compatibility to S. titanus correlates with different vmp gene sequences and VmpA binding properties.

AB  - The immature stages of ten Mecinus species are described for the first time and those of two other species are redescribed, adding important chaetotaxy characters that were missing from previous descriptions. These species belong to six of the nine assemblages of Mecinus species previously established according to a phylogenetic analysis. All these groupings are confirmed on the basis of several characters of mature larvae and pupae. Moreover, all the species show several characters that are useful for distinguishing them from each other, including cryptic species that previously had few differential characters. Some characters that may be useful for separating Mecinus from other genera in the tribe are suggested. To confirm the taxonomic identification of some larvae, the mtCOII gene was obtained and compared with sequences from identified adult specimens. The most important characters for separating the immature stages of the genera and species groups in Mecinus are the number of palpomeres of the labial palpi (1 or 2), the number of air tubes of the thoracic and abdominal spiracles (unicameral or bicameral), and the number of epipharyngeal setae. The species studied herein were compared with those known from other genera in the tribe Mecinini. Two keys, one to the described larvae and the other to the pupae, are provided. Detailed biological data, several of which are new, on some species are reported.
