	abstract = {Analysis of the abundance, temporal occurrence and spatial patterns of two Coleopteran insect pests and their predatory natural enemies was conducted using grey system analysis, ecological niche analysis and collective intention analysis. The two insect pests were Myllocerinus aurolineatus Voss and Basilepta melanopus Lefevre. The synthetic ranking results indicate that the dominant natural enemies of M. aurolineatus were Synuchus atricolor Bates, Enoplognatha japonica Boes.et Str.and Xysticus ephippiatus Simon. Dominant natural enemies of B. melanopus were Erigonidium graminicolum Sundevall, Tetragnatha maxillosa Thorell and Neoscona theisi Walckenaer. Average aggregation size of M. aurolineatus was less than two due to environmental factors but the average aggregation size of B. melanopus was greater than two due to the natural tendency of this pest to aggregate. Due to a variety of environmental factors (including pests) the average aggregation sizes of the natural enemies were less than two.},

X-rays had a significant effect on the activity, mortality and fertility of this insect pest. Radiation levels over 70 Gy can achieve 100\% adult mortality after 48 days. For practical purposes, 200 Gy can be regarded as a suitable lethal dose for eradicating S. zeamais adults and 100 Gy for preventing F1 production.},

	abstract = {The banded elm bark beetle (BEBB), Scolytus schevyrewi Seme. (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) is one of the elm boring pests. The morphological traits and bionomics of BEBB, including life cycle, adult lifespan, habits and mating behaviors, were observed in the laboratory and in the field in Yanchi county, Ningxia Province. There were two generations of BEBB per year. The pest overwintered in the form of mature larvae (98.2\%) and pupae (1.8\%). Mature larvae began to pupate in early May with a peak of pupation in mid May. Adults started to emerge from late May with a peak in early June. Second generation larvae pupated from late June till early July with a peak in late July and pupation ending in early August. The average lifespan of female and male adults was significantly different; (27.14 [plus or minus] 3.74) d for females and (16.86 [plus or minus] 4.13) d for males (P < 0.05). Diapause was not observed. Four kinds of natural enemies of BEBB; Elachistocontrum sp., Pedieuloids ventricosus Newport, Thansimus sp. and Labidura sp., were found.},

	abstract = {In order to find new non-polluting control methods for the tea weevil Myllocerinus aurolineatus Voss, a behavioral bioassay was conducted to test the repellent activity of nineteen plant essential oils on this pest. The results show that allitridi, lavender oil, baicalin, extract of Cantleyt corniculata (Becc) Howard, Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees, Artemisia argyi Levl. et Vant, Fallopia multiflora (Thunb.) Harald, Sophora flavescensn Alt., Leonurus artemisia Sweet and Lonicera Japonica Thunb., were repellent to both male and female M. aurolineatus adults. Of these, allitridi, S. miltiorrhiza extract, F. multiflora extract, and extract of S. flavescensn reduced feeding by adult weevils relative to the control. Extract of C. corniculata and L. Japonica reduced feeding activity, whereas allitridi and extract of L. artemisia significantly enhanced the appetite of adult weevils relative to the control. Artemisia argyi extract, lavender oil, and baicalin, although repellent, did not reduce feeding activity relative to the control. Compared to the control, extract of A. paniculata was attractive to weevils. Further research on the effects of extracts of C. corniculata, S. miltiorrhiza, F. multiflora, S. flavescensn, and L. Japonica on tea weevils is required to fully determine the control potential of these compounds.},
