Abstract

The herbivorous ladybird beetle Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata depends primarily on solanaceous plants. The utilisation of a novel fabaceous host, centro (Centrosema molle), by this beetle has been reported from several regions in Southeastern Asia, but details of the distribution and feeding habits of H. vigintioctopunctata populations on centro are largely unknown. Our study aimed to gather basic information on the utilisation of centro by H. vigintioctopunctata in the Nusa Tenggara region of southeastern Indonesia. Field surveys indicated that H. vigintioctopunctata did not yet utilize centro in the wild in this region. However, in feeding-choice experiments in the laboratory, all beetle populations tested from this region had some potential to utilize centro, i.e., showed some feeding acceptance of this plant. Based on these results, we discuss the current status of the Nusa Tenggara H. vigintioctopunctata populations in using centro as a host.

Abstract

Host specificity has been a major factor in generating the tremendous diversity of phytophagous arthropods. Studies of adaptation to introduced or invasive plant species provide an opportunity to investigate incipient evolutionary changes in host specificity. We investigated the cryptic ability of the Asian tropical herbivorous ladybird beetle Henosepilachna diffinis to feed on the fabaceous weed "centro", Centrosema molle, which was introduced to Southeast Asia about 200 years ago. In laboratory choice tests using this plant and the normal host plant, Solanum torvum, adults preferred S. torvum to centro, but over half the beetles tested ate leaves of both plants. Furthermore, most first-instar larvae accepted centro during a rearing experiment, and a few of them grew to the third-instar stage, though none reached the final (fourth) instar. Henosepilachna diffinis likely acquired this incomplete acceptability of centro without any direct host-grazer interaction with centro, probably before this weed was introduced to Southeast Asia. Our results further suggest that another Henosepilachna species, H. vigintioctopunctata, might similarly have already acquired an incomplete ability to use centro when this beetle encountered it for the first time, and this triggered a subsequent host-range expansion from solanaceous plants to include centro in various parts of Southeast Asia.

Abstract

A study on seasonal migration of the tropical honeybee, Apis dorsata wasconducted in the protected habitat of the Bogor Botanic Garden, West Jawa, Indonesia by monitoring the arrivals and departures of colonies of the honeybee. The colonies arrived in the garden during both the higher mean monthly rainfall and the lower number of rainy days per month and departed during the time of increasing the number of both total monthly rainfall and monthly rainy days. During their stay in the garden, the colonies occupied a certain location and host plant patches. Their duration of stay in the garden was variable. It was 77%, 9% and 4% of the colonies developed, stable and decreased their colony member, respectively. The colonies (23%) performed reproduction by reproducing new queens. Early arriving colonies stayed in very long periods and reproduced colony fission.

Abstract

Thirteen species of macrochelid mites belonging to the genera Holostaspella, Macrocheles, Neopodocinum and Glyptholaspis were collected from a nest of honey bee Apis dorsata dorsata at Bogor Botanical Garden, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Of these, one species was described as new to science, two species were recorded from Indonesia for the first time, and all species were recorded from nest of Apis dorsata dorsata for the first time. Macrocheles nidus sp. nov. is similar to some species of scutatus subgroup, but it is discernible from the latter by the pilosity of dorsal setae.

Abstract

Divergent adaptation to different host plants may promote reproductive isolation between hostspecific populations in phytophagous insects, since strict preferences for different host plants act as an isolating barrier between populations on the different hosts. Moreover, a high dependence on the host plants may cause additional reproductive barriers, e.g., differences in micro-spatial distribution and phenology between host-specific populations when the host plants differ in these characters. However, few studies have specifically addressed these two types of host-plant-induced isolating barriers. Here we compared the microspatialdistribution and seasonal fluctuation of two host races of the  phytophagous ladybird beetle Henosepilachna diekei (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Epilachnine) in Bogor, West Java, one depending onMikania micrantha (Asteraceae) and the other on Leucas lavandulifolia (Lamiaceae). In the field, M. micrantha was far more abundant and common than L. lavandulifolia throughout the year. M. micrantha wasfound in relatively moist habitats with moderate sunlight, while L. lavandulifolia was found in dry, sunny, open habitats. Consequently, the beetles depending on M. micrantha were more common and abundant than those depending on L. lavandulifolia. Although the two host races could encounter one another where the two host plants occurred in close proximity, they infrequently did so because of strict host fidelity coupledwith differences in the abundance and habitat of the two host plants. On the other hand, we detected no evidence of host-related seasonal isolation between the two host races.Key words: host race, host shift, micro-spatial distribution, phenology, seasonal fluctuation

Abstract

Indonesia harbors the greatest diversity of social bees in all of Asia, particularly of the stingless bees (Apidae: Apinae: Meliponini). Presently, 46 species of stingless bees are known across Indonesia although records are not comprehensive and additional diversity is likely present across the region.  All of the known Asiatic genera of Meliponini occur in Indonesia, making this region a critical center of modern stingless bee biodiversity in Asia. Presented here is an illustrated key to the genera and subgenera of Indonesian stingless bees, as an aid to the general identification, study, and conservation of these critical pollinators.

Abstract

In the article “ASSESSING IN-SITU SEMI-NATURAL BUTTERFLY BREEDING APPROACH OF ORNITHOPTERA CROESUS (PAPILIONIDAE) ON BACAN ISLAND, MALUKU UTARA, INDONESIA” byDjunijanti Peggie, Duncan Neville, Sarino, and SihKahono (Treubia, 48(1): 55–68, June 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.14203/treubia.v48i1.4129), there was a terrible mistake in using the subspecies name of lydius(Felder & Felder, 1865) instead of croesus Wallace, 1859 throughout the article. Herewith I would like to apologize for the mistake and would like to clarify that:Ornithoptera croesus lydius (Felder & Felder, 1865) distributes in Halmahera, North MalukuOrnithoptera croesus croesus Wallace, 1859 distributes in Bacan, North MalukuOrnithoptera croesustoeantei Parrot & Schmid, 1984 distributes in MorotaiFor the purpose of avoiding further misleading information, we would replace the pdf of the article with the correct one provided here.Thank you for your understanding and we will make sure that it will not happen again.

Abstract

The ant species diversity in tropical Asia has been investigated in several locations, however, these studies mainly focused on well preserved forests or plantations. The ant fauna in urban parks has only been investigated in a limited number of locations in Singapore, Hong Kong, Macao, and Indonesia. We investigated the ant fauna in the Purwodadi Botanical Gardens, East Java, and compared it to the ant fauna obtained in the Bogor Botanical Gardens. In the Purwodadi Botanical Gardens, we employed the following sampling methods that were also carried out in Bogor: (1) visual searching of ants on tree trunks, (2) visual searching of litter and top-soil ants by hand sifting (3) visual searching of ant colonies, (4) visual searching of foraging workers. In total, 109 species in 44 genera from 9 subfamilies were collected. The number of species collected from litter and soil in Purwodadi was remarkably smaller than that in Bogor, while the ant species diversity on tree trunks was similar to that of Bogor. Of the109 species, 68 were common to Bogor. Arboreal ants were more similar than ground ants between Bogor and Purwodadi.
