Abstract – Coloration intensity of wings from owl-fly (Libelloides macaronius) was

checked with absorption of the light; at 425 nm of the yellow parts of the wings and

at 650 nm of the black parts The difference between males and females was notstatistically significant In black parts of wings the black pigment melanin wasidentified In both parts (yellow and black) the yellow pigment sepiapterin and oneunidentified yellow pigment were present They were extracted with 0.4% sucroseand analysed on paper and thin–layer chromatography on Silica gel

ACTA ENTOMOLOGICA SLOVENICA

Libelloides macaronius (Scopoli) inhabits Central, Eastern and South Europe and

Palaearctic part of Asia (Aspưck et al., 2001) In Slovenia the species is widelydistributed near the Adriatic coast in the SW, but occurs also in certain warmerplaces all over the country (Devetak et al., 2002) Its yellow wings with black spotshave a warning coloration The differences in colour intensities between males andfemales are not substantial when we observe them with naked eye A similarcoloration with yellow pteridine (sepiapterin) and black melanin was reported in the

integument of scorpion fly Panorpa japonica (Nakagoshi et al., 1984) Yellow

pigments of insect origin could also be ommochromes and porfirines or from foodaccepted carotenoides and flavones (Peters, 1999) Our aim was to asses a potentialdifference in intensity of coloration of the male and female wings, and extraction andidentification of the pigments

Material and methods

Specimens of Libelloides macaronius (Scopoli) were collected in grasslands near

the village Nerezine (44o 40’ N, 14o24’ E) on the island Lòinj in Croatia and stored

at –25oC before use Intensity of coloration of the wings was measured with absorption

of the light in situ after slightly modified method of Stark (1974) Each right rear wing(from 30 males and 30 females) was cut off, clumped between two plates with a 1.9

mm aperture and this holder was inserted on the front of the sample chamber inspectrophotometer (Perkin-Elmer, Lamda Bio) Absorption was measured in parts withintensive and homogenous pigmentation (Fig 1) The yellow parts were measured atthe wavelength 425 nm (at the absorption maximum of pteridines (Nakagoshi et al.,1984; Stark, 1974)) and black spots at the wavelength 650 nm (recommended forquantification of melanin (Virador et al., 1999)) Student’s “t” test was used tocalculate the statistical significance between results for males and females

Melanin was identified by soaking the black part of wing in the solution of themethylene blue (7 mg/L) in KCl – buffer (0.2 mol/L) pH 1 (Lilie, 1954)

Identification of yellow pigments was performed from 6 rear wings The wingswere separated in yellow parts (2.8 mg) and black parts (3.5 mg) into two mortals.After grinding with 42 mg of quartz sand for 5 min, the extraction was performedwith 300 mL of 0.4% sucrose in a dim light After 10 min of centrifugation at 1000

g, the extraction was repeated The absorption spectra of pooled supernatants werescanned at 350 – 700 nm The freeze-dried supernatants were dissolved in 10 mL ofdeaerated water and applied (3 x 1 µL) on aluminium sheet with Silica gel 60 F254(7.5 x 20cm; Merck, Germany) for thin-layer chromatography On last starting point

Fig 1:Rear wing of Libelloides macaronius Arrows

indicate the points where absorption was measured

the 1mL of solution containing 0.1 mg of pure sepiapterin (Schircks, Switzerland)was applied The solvent was n-propanol – 1% ammonium hydroxyde (2:1, V/V)(Hama et al., 1965) Developing was performed in dark The chromatogram wasdried with warm air and checked at day light and under fluorescence at excitationwavelength 365 nm in fluorescence analysis cabinet (Spectroline CM-10, USA) Thepaper chromatography (with paper MN214, Macherey-Düren, Germany) wasperformed at the same conditions

Results

The yellow and black parts of wings absorb light of specific wavelengths quitedifferently, but differences between males and females at equal parts of wings werenot statistically significant (Table 1)

Table 1: Absorption of yellow and black parts of the wings of Libelloides

macaronius at wavelengths 425 and 650 nm, respectively Values are mean ± S D.,

The thin-layer chromatography revealed the presence of two yellow spots (at leasttwo yellow pigments) in both extracts The first spot with Rf 0.33 was notidentified, while the second with Rf 0.56 the length of migration corresponded tothe migration of pure sepiapterin (Figure 2) Paper chromatography (Figure 3)confirmed these results The yellow spot with Rf 0.27 was not identified and yellowspot with Rf 0.44 was at the same position as pure sepiapterin

Discussion

Sexual dimorphism of Libelloides macaronius is not marked, although the wings

of females were found to be slightly, but statistically significant larger than in themales (Devetak et al., 2002) After our absorption data the differences in intensity ofcoloration of wings were not statistically significant Moderate low absorption of theblack spots is consequence of distribution of the black pigments only near the veins

and fields between them are yellow in the middle (personal observation) Theabsorption of the yellow pigments in black spots was lower than in yellow spots (datanot shown) An alternative method for determination of the colour intensity of wingswith potentially lower scattering interference on structures requires a colour camera,which is connected to personal computer (Windig, 1999)

The presence of black pigment melanin in black parts of the wings was identifiedonly with the histochemical method (Lilie, 1954), because the extraction after the

method for determination of melanin in mice melanocytes (Virador et al., 1999), wascompletely unefficient After extraction with 0.85 M KOH (Siegrist and Eberle,1986), the black pigment was only partially solubilized (data not shown)

In contrast to the black pigments, the yellow pigments pteridines are slightlysoluble, but in solutions easily oxidizable and photolabile, as reported by Hama et al.(1965), Nakagoshi et al (1984) and Tomic-Carruthers et al (2002) In attempt tostabilise them we checked extractions at dim light with 50% ethanol at 100oC(Nakagoshi et al., 1984), 50% ethanol at room temperature and water solutions offive reducing compounds: 0.1% b-mercaptoethanol in 0.1 M ammonium acetatebuffer pH 6.5 and water solutions of 0.05% ascorbic acid, 0.02% potasiummetabisulfite, 0.24% rosmarinic acid (Roth, Germany) 9% and 0.4% sucrose Thebest results were obtained with sucrose, equal at both concentrations (data notshown) Pigments were also labile during concentrating and freeze-drying in darkcould not be substituted with evaporation in dark at room temperature (data not

shown) In Panorpa japonica the successive extraction of yellow sepiapterin with

50% ethanol at 100oC and black melanin from integuments was performed(Nakagoshi et al., 1984), but before extraction the yellow and black parts were notseparated

The thin-layer and paper chromatography revealed the presence of two yellowpigments The pigment with higher mobility was identified as sepiapterin, butpigment with lower mobility was not identified The absorption spectrum of theextract of the wings with absorption maximum at 420 – 425 nm indicates that thispigment must be very similar to sepiapterin It may be a product of oxidation anddegradation of sepiapterin during aging of the wings and after comparing the Rfvalues (Hama et al., 1965) it was tentatively proposed to be xanthopterin This is

supported by the identification of sepiapterin only in Panorpa japonica one week

after emergence (Nakagoshi et al., 1984) For more detailed qualitative andquantitative analysis, the high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) must be used,

as described Tomic-Carruthers et al (2002) The two-dimensional thin-layerchromatography is not recommended, because spontaneous oxidation of somepigments during chromatography may occur, as reported for 7,8-dihydrobiopterine(Tomic-Carruthers et al., 1996)

Introduction

Psyllids or jumping plant-lice are very small insects whose size in Europeanspecies usually varies from 1,5 to 4,5 mm in length They are exclusivelyphytophagous sap-sucking insects (Ossiannilsson, 1992) In general, they are highlyhost specific and are mostly associated with only one single plant species or with avery restricted number of closely related host plants There are very few European

species which can be characterized as polyphagous (e.g Bactericera nigricornis).

From this point of view, it is possible to predict the occurrence of the associatedpsyllid species based on the distribution data of their host plants Some psyllids are

also known as serious pests of cultivated plants - e.g Cacopsylla pyri (Pollini, 1998;

ACTA ENTOMOLOGICA SLOVENICA

Vrabl & Matis, 1977), C pyrisuga (Pollini, 1998, Janeæiœ, 1951), Cacopsylla mali (Janeæiœ, 1951), Acizzia jamatonica (Alma & al., 2002, Seljak & al., 2004),

Euphyllura olivina (Pollini; 1998, Chermiti, 1992) Some of them are known to be

important vectors of harmful phytoplasma diseases of crop plants - e.g Cacopsylla

pyri (Lemoine, 1991, Carraro & al 1998a), C pyricola (Jensen & al., 1964), C pruni

(Carraro & al., 1998b, Jarausch, 2001), C melanoneura (Tedeschi & Alma, 2004),

C picta (Frisinghelli & al., 2000; Jarausch & al 2003)

As long ago as 1888 Franz Löw made the most comprehensive overview ofpsyllids occurring in the territory of the former Austrian-Hungarian monarchy,which includes also the territory of the present Slovenia (Löw, 1888) This remainsuntil now the only specialized work dealing with psyllids in the territory ofSlovenia In that work, 37 species belonging to the family Psyllidae and 14 species

of Triozidae, collected within the Slovene territory are recorded Most of the dataLöw included were provided by Franz Then, who collected psyllids in thesurroundings of Lesce (Less) and Bled (Valdes) and by Andor Hensch, who workedand collected in the surroundings of Gorica (Görz, Gorizia) The type material of

at least three species originates from these two collecting areas The type material

Fig 1: Camarotoscena subrubescens –

adult

Fig 2: Acizzia jamatonica - two adults

and a nymph sucking on leaf of Albizia

of Psyllopsis meliphila Löw, 1881 originate unambiguously from the territory of Slovenia (Lesce, Bled), while the type locality “Görz” for Baeopelma colorata (Löw, 1888) and Cacopsylla intermedia (Löw, 1888) is problematic, because the

region is divided between Slovenia and Italy at present Officially, Italy is “terratypica”, but the type material was quite probably collected on the Slovene side aswell

Gräffe (1911) also contributed some faunistic records, which mostly refer to thearea round Tolmin

Almost exactly hundred years later Franc Janeæiœ summarized his seventeenyears’ investigations on plant galls of Slovenia, also providing a large amount ofdistribution data concerning 25 species of Psylloidea (Janeæiœ, 1989) Some of hisrecords require a confirmation or even revision according to the modern taxonomicview However, as his identifications were based mainly on the host plant and thegall form only and as far as I know, no documentary collection is available, it isalmost impossible to confirm his records with reference to the more critical species

There are also some other reports dealing with pear psyllids (e.g Cacopsylla pyri,

C pyrisuga) in Slovenia, but mainly only from the agricultural point of view (Vrabl

& Matis, 1977) Knowledge of the diversity of psyllids and their distribution inSlovenia is still incomplete and in general poorly investigated The intention of thisoverview is to summarize and confirm records of psyllids previously known to occur

in Slovenia In addition, my own data gathered in the last few years have beenincluded

For the identification following work were mostly used: Ossiannilsson, 1992;Hodkinson & White, 1979; White & Hodkinson, 1982; Hodkinson & Hollis,

1987, Loginova, 1964; Klimaszewski, 1975; Haupt, 1935 Adults were drymounted on specimen cards and are included in the author’s collection Fifthinstar nymphs and sometimes younger nymphs were slide-mounted in Canadabalsam as described by Hodkinson & White (1979) For an accurate identification,

a stereomicroscope (Nikon SMZ-2B) and a compound microscope (NikonLabophot-2) were applied

In the table below data on Psylloidea hitherto known to occur in Slovenia aresummarized For each species the earlier records and their authors (Scopoli, 1763;Löw, 1888; Gräffe, 1911; Janeæiœ, 1989) are given New distribution data provided

by myself are given separately For each species, the larval host plant(s) are listed as

well As it has been impossible to examine the original material of earlier collectors(e g Then, Hensch, Löw), the older published data have been interpreted in themodern taxonomic view only when they have already been clarified by modernauthors When the locality was defined well enough, the corresponding 10x10-kilometre UTM quadrant has also been added (fig 5) As the whole territory ofSlovenia goes into the grid zone 33T, the zone designation of UTM quadrants isomitted.

Records referring to Görz (Gorica or Gorizia, Italy) by Löw (1888) are alsoincluded, because a considerable part of Hensch’s collecting area around this bordertown belongs to the present Western Slovenia This area includes at least thefollowing UTM quadrants: UL89, UL98, UL99, VL08, and VL09

The taxonomy and nomenclature of Psylloidea follows Burckhardt (2002) Thenomenclature source for the names of vascular host plants was “Mala floraSlovenije” (Martinœiœ & al., 1999) The host plant range for individual psyllidspecies were mostly taken from Ossiannilsson (1992), White & Hodkinson (1982),Conci, Rapisarda & Tamanini, 1992 and 1997 or Burckhardt (2002), but also somedata based on my own observations were used

Comments on some critical or less known species

Camarotoscena speciosa (Flor, 1861) and C subrubescens (Flor, 1861)

According to Conci & al (1993) the distribution of Camaratoscena subrubescens

is limited to warm regions of the Mediterranean northern side It is recorded from

Spain, France, Italy (including Sicily), east Adriatic countries, Greece and Turkey.Also in Slovenia, its occurrence seems to be confined to the south-western

submediterranean part of the country Some records concerning Camarotoscena

speciosa given by Janeæiœ most probably refer to C subrubescens or at least those

originating from South-Western Slovenia (e g.: Solkan, Skalnica, Grgar, Neblo,Preønica, Dekani, Bertoki, Ømarje pri Kopru, Dragonja) This is because hisidentifications were based on gall characters only and not on adults or fifth instarnymphs Specimens collected in this area by myself (although the material is stillquite scarce), as well as the material collected by A Hensch in the surrounding of

Gorica (Löw, 1888), support this uncertainty representing C subrubescens only.

Anyway, records given by Janeæiœ are in need of further faunistic verification Untilnow, I also could not find both species together, although they use the same hostspecies

Aphalara calthae (Linnaeus, 1761)

According to Lauterer (1993) older records of Aphalara calthae published 40 years or more ago need to be verified, as species of the group Aphalara polygoni

Förster were often published under this name as well Recently collected material on

Pokljuka confirms however unambiguously the occurrence of Aphalara calthae in

Slovenia

Rhodochlanis bicolor (Scott, 1880)

This species is recorded from South Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan (Loginova,

1964, Gegechkori & Loginova, 1990) and Bulgaria (Klimaszewski, 1973) It isknown to occur in Iran as well (Burckhardt & Lauterer, 1993), but seems to be ratherrare in the Mediterranean basin or perhaps merely less investigated Conci andTamanini recorded it from a comparatively restricted coastal area near to Ravenna(Conci & Tamanini, 1984) In Slovenia, it is only known from the two above-

mentioned localities on the saline vegetation close to the Adriatic Sea Suaeda

maritima was confirmed as the host plant, on which also some few nymphs of fourth

and fifth instars were found Many adults and some nymphs were also collected nearPoreœ in Istria (Croatia) in late August 2005, always on the same host plant Thesefindings are obviously only a part of the larger, but still poorly investigated north-

Adriatic population of Rhodochlanis bicolor

Psyllopsis fraxini (Linnaeus, 1758)

Quite probably, Psyllopsis fraxini is widely spread throughout the whole country

on its host plant Fraxinus excelsior However, data given by Janeæiœ (1989) based

on the presence of galls are not unambiguous, because identical galls cause P.

distinguenda Edwards, P discrepans (Flor) and P dobreanuae Loginova as well P fraxini is the most common species and plausible one.

Psyllopsis meliphila Löw, 1881

In Slovenia, in particular in its western part, this species is widely spread on its

host plant Fraxinus ornus in temperate slopes According to my observations, it

develops two generations per year The species is, however, discussed here only toclarify the type locality, since it was mostly erroneously interpreted in the past F.Löw described the species from the material collected by Franz Then in the area

around Lesce and Bled (Lees-Valdes at that time) (Lưw, 1881) Now this regionbelongs to Slovenia Conci & Tamanini (1990), however, placed this type locality inAustria and Carinthia (Kärnten), what is wrong Namely, even at that time this regionbelonged to the district Krain, which is now a part of the present Slovenia and not toCarinthia Such misinterpretations are not rare for all of the species described at thattime in the territory of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy, which is not surprising due

to the immense geopolitical changes, which followed afterwards

Acizzia jamatonica (Kuwayama, 1908):

This eastern Palaearctic species has spread from Italy to Slovenia only veryrecently (Seljak, 2003; Seljak et al., 2004) In Europe it was recorded in North Italyfor the first time (Alma et al., 2002) As early as in 2002 large populations were

found on its host plant Albizia julbrissin in parks in Nova Gorica and soon elsewhere

along the Slovene-Italian border as well In 2003, it was found to be spread all overthe south-western submediterranean part of Slovenia, and actually everywhere whereits host plant is found planted (parks, parking places, gardens) Also in 2002, it wasspreading also towards south in Istria (Umag, Poreœ, Rovinj - Croatia) According toØimala et al (2006) it is continuing to spread along the coastal area in Dalmatia Theinsect spreads mainly by being carried by traffic along the road network sand, partly

also by active flying in searching for still unoccupied Albizia trees Now it is considered as a very serious pest of Albizia julbrissin, threatening its ornamental

value and functionality Due to the weak lignification of shoots, heavy affected treesmay often get frozen during the following winter

Phylloplecta trisignata (Lưw, 1886):

This species is widely distributed throughout the whole Mediterranean (FaunaEuropaea, 2004) Its occurrence in Istria (Volòœa, Croatia) was already recorded byGräffe (1911) A specimen captured on a yellow sticky trap in the Slovene coastalarea (Parecag) in 2004 confirms its existence in this part of Europe

Diaphorina chobauti Puton, 1898

It is a very rare species in Europe According to Burckhardt (1984) and Conci et

al (1993) it has only been known from Liguria in North-Italy so far Otherwise, it iswidely distributed throughout the Near East, in North Africa and in the central Asia(Burckhardt, 1984, Gegechkori & Loginova, 1990, Conci et al., 1993) In Slovenia,there are only three localities known in the southwestern submediterranean part ofthe country Another locality has been discovered near the village Doberdob on theItalian side However, all these localities are quite close together and belong to the

same geographical region (fig 5) Specimens were always swept from Convolvulus

canthabrica L plants, mostly at the end of May and in the early June One specimen

however was found the 01.10.2005 As Conci et al (1993) in Italy give similarcollecting periods, it is suggested that the species develops two generations per year

Bactericera perrisi Puton, 1876

There are some uncertainties about the occurrence of this species in Slovenia.Lưw (1888) recorded it from Gorica (Gưrz) and Trnovski gozd (Tarnovaner Wald),which were also the only known localities in the territory of Monarchy at that time.Later Graeffe (1911) recorded it to occur also near Triest (Proseco) Under the

presumption that Artemisia alba is the host plant of this species (Conci et al., 1997) (Artemisia campestris is very rare in Slovenia) it might occur rather common in this

(south-western) part of Slovenia Nevertheless, I could not find it in this region so

far On the other hand, the related B kratochvili is rather common here It has been collected very commonly by me on dry meadows with lots of Allium senescens As

B kratochvili was described much later, confusion between these two species by

Löw seems to be possible

Trioza senecionis (Scopoli, 1763)

Slovenia is “terra typica” for this species Scopoli (1763: 140) described it in his

“Entomologia carniolica” for the first time, obviously from material collected inCarniola An exact locality was not specified As this species has not been foundsince then this record is still the only one existent for Slovenia Its wider distribution,

however, is to be expected, as its host plants (Senecio fuchsii, S nemorensis) occur

rather commonly in Slovenia

Trioza kiefferi Giard, 1902:

So far, this species is only known from South Italy, Malta, Iberian Peninsula andAlgeria (Conci, Rapisarda & Tamanini, 1996) In Slovenia Janeæiœ (1989) reported

it to occur on Rhamnus fallax (=Rh alpinus ssp fallax) in several localities in the

Slovene Alps As his identifications were based merely on leaf galls by usingHouard’s identification keys, he probably made the same mistake as many Europeanplant gall researchers had already made before him As Burckhardt (1983) stated, the

resemblance of galls on Rhamnus alpinus compared to those on Rhamnus alaternus and Rh lycioides produced by Trioza kiefferi in the Mediterranean area has led to misidentifications Even more, according to the same author, galls on Rhamnus

alpinus are not produced by any known psyllid So far, in Slovenia I could only find

adults of Cacopsylla rhamnicola (Scott, 1876) on Rhamnus fallax Thus for all these reasons, I consider Trioza kiefferi as not existing in Slovenia.

Discussion

In the present review, the available data and records of jumping plant-liceoccurring in the territory of Slovenia have been summarized The fauna includes 100species (Homotomidae - 1 species, Calophyidae - 1 species, Psyllidae - 65 species,Triozidae - 33 species) 44 of them (Psyllidae - 34 species, Triozidae - 10 species)are recorded for the first time in Slovenia This number probably represents about60-70 % of the whole diversity of this insect group in Slovenia However, theknowledge of distribution range of the majority of them is still very fragmentary,because a more systematic faunistic work on this group has been started onlyrecently An exception may represent the galls producing species, which werereported by Janeæiœ fairly comprehensive (Janeæiœ, 1989) Despite that, the number

of above listed species already exceeds the diversity recorded in the adjacent Italianregion Friuli-Venezia Giulia – 84 species (Conci et al 1992 and 1997) or in

Carinthia (Austria) respectively – 82 species (Burckhardt et al 1999) The proper identity of Bactericera curvatinervis, B perrisi and Trioza dispar in earlier records

is somewhat ambiguous and are in need of verification In the text they are marked

by a question sign in square brackets
