The thrips Karnyothrips flavipes was observed for the first time feeding on immature stages of H. hampei in April 2008 from samples collected in the Kisii area of Western Kenya. Since the trophic interactions between H. hampei and K. flavipes are carried out entirely within the coffee berry, and because thrips feed by liquid ingestion, we used molecular gut-content analysis to confirm the potential role of K. flavipes as a predator of H. hampei in an organic coffee production system. Species-specific COI primers designed for H. hampei were shown to have a high degree of specificity for H. hampei DNA and did not produce any PCR product from DNA templates of the other insects associated with the coffee agroecosystems. In total, 3,327 K. flavipes emerged from 17,792 H. hampei-infested berries collected from the field between April and September 2008. Throughout the season, 8.3% of K. flavipes tested positive for H. hampei DNA, although at times this figure approached 50%. Prey availability was significantly correlated with prey consumption, thus indicating the potential impact on H. hampei populations.10aHypothenemus hampei1 aJaramillo, Juliana1 aChapman, Eric, G.1 aVega, Fernando, E.1 aHarwood, James, D.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/molecular-diagnosis-previously-unreported-predator-prey-association-coffee-karnyothrips-flavipes-jon02052nas a2200181   4500008004100000020001400041245014300055210006900198260000800267300001400275490000800289520133700297653002401634100002301658700002601681700002801707856013501735       2010                        eng d  a0022-049300aTemperature-Dependent Development and Emergence Pattern of Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) From Coffee Berries0 aTemperatureDependent Development and Emergence Pattern of Hypoth  cAug  a1159-11650 v1033 aThe coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), is the most important constrain for coffee production throughout the world. Knowledge on the emergence pattern of H. hampei females to infest new berries is crucial to effectively plan control measures. In this laboratory study, we assessed the development of immature stages and the emergence pattern of H. hampei females from the berries by exposing them to temperatures that are typical for high-altitude plantations (>=1,700 m above sea level (mas))) or when coffee is grown under shade trees (20-22[degree]C), and optimum altitude plantations (1,200-1,600 masl) or nonshaded coffee (25-30[degree]C). Fecundity and emergence pattern of H. hampei females from coffee berries varied with temperature. Temperature played a crucial role determining the rate of H. hampei development and therefore the emergence of the females to start a new infestation cycle. The emergence and colonization phases of new colonizing females in coffee plantations with mean temperatures of 20, 25, or 30[degree]C would take place at different moments in the development of the coffee berries, and in some cases more than once. The implications of our findings for an improved, site-specific timing of control interventions against H. hampei are discussed.10aHypothenemus hampei1 aJaramillo, Juliana1 aChabi-Olaye, Adenirin1 aBorgemeister, Christian  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/temperature-dependent-development-and-emergence-pattern-hypothenemus-hampei-coleoptera-curculionidae02558nas a2200217   4500008004100000020001400041245016600055210006900221260000900290300001200299490000700311520171500318653002402033100002302057700002602080700002802106700002102134700002702155700002302182856013502205       2009                        eng d  a1049-964400aWhere to sample?

These parasitoids have become established in the field but their effect on the CBB has been limited. A two-year field study in Western Kenya has found Prorops nasuta (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) to be the predominant parasitoid emerging from CBB-infested coffee berries collected on coffee trees or from the ground. P. nasuta comprises more than 75% of the total natural enemies collected. The density of A nasuta was 90% higher in the berries collected from the ground than from the trees. Its hyperparasitoid, Aphanogmus sp. (Hymenoptera: Ceraphronidae), also emerged from both type of berries. Across the two seasons, the average A nasuta density per berry was 18-35 times higher than that of Aphanogmus sp. Throughout the two years sampled, significantly higher numbers of P. nasuta and Aphanogmus sp. occurred between February and March, which coincides with the beginning of the rainy season. Higher numbers of live CBB females were recorded in berries collected from the trees. Nevertheless, mortality of adult CBB was considerably higher from January to March and started to decrease from April onwards. The possibly negative effects of cultural control practices in Latin America which include the removal of berries fallen to the ground on biological control of CBB are discussed, and the use of screened collection devices for these berries which would permit the release of parasitoids but prevent escape of the pest is proposed.

The importance of age and feeding on the performance of Cephalonomia stephanoderis (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae), a parasitoid of the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera. Curculionidae) was investigated in the laboratory. Groups of female parasitoids were subject to the following treatments: a group fed during one, five and ten days after emergence of adults with coffee borer larvae; another group fed only with honey solution during five days after emergence; and as a control, a third group was kept without food for five days. At the end of each treatment, survivorship, parasitoid activity (walking and flying capacity in an arena), search capacity for finding coffee borer-infested berries, host feeding and oviposition (on immature hosts), were assessed. Unfed females showed a significant decrease in survivorship compared to individuals that were fed. The type of meal (insects or honey) did not significantly influence parasitoid activity, search and oviposition capacities. Females fed with honey solution significantly consumed less immature coffee borers. Younger females (one day old) walked and flew out of the arena significantly faster than older ones (5 and 10 days old). Implications of these results are discussed on the performance of C. stephanoderis as a biological control agent of the coffee berry borer.10aHypothenemus hampei1 aGomez, Jaime1 aBarrera, Juan, F.1 aLiedo, Pablo1 aValle, Javier  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/influence-age-and-diet-performance-cephalonomia-stephanoderis-hymenoptera-bethylidae-parasitoid-coff02270nas a2200193   4500008004100000020001400041245019200055210006900247260000900316300001000325490000700335520147100342653002401813100002301837700002701860700002301887700003101910856013501941       2010                        eng d  a1317-526200aDetermination of the establishment of parasitoids of the coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) in coffee plantations of Soconusco, Chiapas, Mexico0 aDetermination of the establishment of parasitoids of the coffee   c2010  a25-350 v253 aThe present study was conducted in coffee plantations of Chiapas to evaluate the establishment of three African parasitoids of the coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei (CBB), that have been released in this region for biological control purposes. During the inter cropping period were sampled fruits infested with the CBB from 31 coffee plantations in four municipalities. The infested fruits were dissected in order to detect the presence of any of the three species of CBB parasitoids: Cephalonomia stephanoderis, Prorops nasuta and Phymastichus cofea. We were also looking for parasitism by the native parasitoid Cephalonomia hyalinipennis. For analysis, we considered several variables, such as parasitoid earlier releases, species of coffee planted, altitude of sites, the prior existence of rural young, presence of rivers and conditions of coffee (careful or careless). Tis data was analysed in a Generalized Lineal Model. The results showed that C. stephanoderis was found in 67,7% of samples, and the percent of parasitism ranged from 0,33 to 26%. C. hyalinipennis was only detected in a single sample and its parasitism was 3%. P nasuta and P. cofea were not found in the samples. The presence of C. stephanoderis was correlated with altitude, the species of coffee and the number of previous releases, among others.

There have been very few studies and none have addressed the population genetics of the beetle using microsatellite markers. In the present study, 683 individuals collected from 37 locations in 18 countries worldwide were screened at nine polymorphic microsatellite loci. Sixty-five out the 683 and six additional individuals were analyzed on a 400-bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene. Bayesian clustering analysis and phylogenetic approaches were used to infer the genetic structure of H. hampei over the sampling that encompassed almost all its range. Microsatellite markers made it possible to achieve sufficiently significant power for the delineation of five morphocryptic evolutionary units. Supported by 27 new COI haplotypes, an unexpected considerably high level of genetic differentiation and genetic divergence was revealed between five geographically delineated clusters. Both markers and approaches showed that the clusters included specimens from (1) Ethiopia, (2) Kenya and Uganda, (3) Brazil, (4) Central America excluding Jamaica, and (5) all samples from Asia, West Africa, and Jamaica. These findings clearly suggest the existence of a 'species complex in H. hampei'.

These results indicate that volatiles from C. arabica infested by L. coffeella may inform Vespidae adults about the presence of the most suitable stage of their prey.10aHypothenemus hampei1 aFernandes, Flavio, Lemes1 aFernandes, Maria, Elisa de S1 aPicanco, Marcelo, Coutinho1 aGeraldo, Guilherme, Carvalho1 aDemuner, Antonio, Jacinto1 ada Silva, Ricardo, Siqueira  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/coffee-volatiles-and-predatory-wasps-hymenoptera-vespidae-coffee-leaf-miner-leucoptera-coffeella02652nas a2200229   4500008004100000020001400041245009600055210006900151260000900220300001200229490000700241520187900248653002402127100002402151700002302175700002202198700002002220700002102240700002202261700002302283856011602306       2009                        eng d  a1049-964400aThe biology of Phymastichus coffea LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) under field conditions0 abiology of Phymastichus coffea LaSalle Hymenoptera Eulophidae un  cJune  a227-2330 v493 aThe coffee berry borer (CBB) Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) was accidentally introduced into Mexico, in 1978, and rapidly became the main pest of coffee. As an exotic pest, its management has been mainly based on biological control methods through the introduction of parasitoids from Africa. In this context, at the beginning of the present decade, the parasitoid Phymastichus coffea LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) was imported to Mexico. Since then, several studies have been carried out as part of the post introduction evaluation of this parasitoid. In this paper. information concerning the parasitism and life-cycle of A coffea in coffee farms is presented with the objective of providing information that elucidates its role as a biological control agent. A coffea showed highly significant preferences for allocation of two eggs per host, usually one female and one male. Both offspring are able to develop and reach the adult stage successfully. Lifespan of adults is 2-3 days only. The degree of parasitism by P. coffea was more than 95% at the three altitudes tested, when releases consisted of a ratio of 10 CBB:1 parasitoid. The median survivorship of CBB parasitized by this wasp was 13, 15 and 19 days at the low, medium and high altitude coffee zones, respectively. The parasitism by P. coffea was higher when parasitoid releases were carried out simultaneously with the CBB, and decreased with the time between host and parasitoid releases. We showed that using P. coffea at a density of 1 parasitoid per 10 hosts resulted in a 3- to 5.6-fold decrease in CBB damage to the coffee seeds when compared to the control. The importance and value of these results are discussed in terms of the use of P. coffea as a biological control agent of the CBB in Latin America. [copyright] 2009 Elsevier Inc.

However, the research undertaken in this field has variable and sometimes contradictory results. The purpose of this study carried out with a single type of trap (experimental model '1B') was to evaluate the technique and define parameters for its efficient use. The first result obtained was detection of the excellent attractant properties of the ethanol[long dash]methanol mixture, and its efficiency related to the proportion of the two alcohols. Coffee borers were not attracted to traps with caffeine, green coffee powder, freshly pulped and hulled coffee berries and ground CBB. It was shown that the ethanol[long dash]methanol mixture (1 : 1) release rate varied without affecting the capture rate, and that the red colour of the trap substantially increased CBB attraction. In terms of trap set-up, it was found that capture rates were three times better with a trap height at 1.2 m, than that for a position near ground level. In addition, the best density of traps for achieving efficient mass trapping was 22 units per hectare. These results show the importance of developing an attractant using pure compounds, and of improving the trap and the trapping technique in line with CBB behaviour.10aHypothenemus hampei1 aDufour, Bernard, P.1 aFrerot, B.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/optimization-coffee-berry-borer-hypothenemus-hampei-ferrari-col-scolytidae-mass-trapping-attractant02047nas a2200205   4500008004100000020001400041245010400055210006900159260000900228300001000237490000700247520134300254653002401597100002101621700002201642700002001664700001801684700001901702856012001721       2011                        eng d  a1317-526200aHeight of placement of intercept traps and its effects on captures of Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari)0 aHeight of placement of intercept traps and its effects on captur  c2011  a39-460 v263 aTo characterize the capture efficiency of Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) using interception traps (Yessica design), four heights were evaluated according to the distance from the base of the trap bottle to the ground (treatments): 0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 meters for the location of the traps on the plant. The trial was conducted in a coffee plantation located at the Jaime Henao Jaramillo Experimental Field Station, Faculty of Agronomy, Universidad Central de Venezuela, Miranda State (average temperature: 19.9 [degree]C, average RH 83.8 %, average rainfall: 1 321.5 mm/year) during July-October/2004. The treatments (height) were replicated five times and distributed in a randomized block design. In each block, baited traps were placed at a distance of four meters between them on the same ground level curve, for eight periods of seven days. At the end of each period, traps were checked to remove the traps capture, refill them and change randomly their position. At the laboratory, the capture was identified and separated by orders and H. hampei. The catch values obtained for each height tested were expressed in terms of Borer/Trap/ Week (BTS) and the statistic analysis allowed to detect significant differences (p >= 0.05) between treatments, resulting the heights 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 m of similar efficiency to capture H. hampei.10aHypothenemus hampei1 aDel Pozo, Javier1 aGonzalez, Eutimio1 aCasares, Rafael1 aCastillo, Ana1 aMeneses, Hecni  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/height-placement-intercept-traps-and-its-effects-captures-hypothenemus-hampei-ferrari01813nas a2200181   4500008004100000020001400041245010400055210006900159260001300228300001200241490000700253520116200260653002401422100002501446700002201471700002101493856011701514       2009                        eng d  a1405-319500aCues used during the host recognition by Phymastichus coffea, a parasitoid of the coffe berry borer0 aCues used during the host recognition by Phymastichus coffea a p  cMay-June  a393-4010 v433 aThe wasp Phymastichus coffea LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is a parasitoid of the adults of the coffee berry borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), considered the most important pest of this crop. A previous study has shown that A coffea uses long-range chemical cues during the host location process. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of physical and chemical cues at short range during the host recognition by P. coffea. The assays were performed with glass vials used as experimental arenas under laboratory controlled conditions. The results showed that the movement of the host did not influence the recognition process. CBB females were better accepted than males by P. coffea, mostly because they are bigger than males. The use of spherical plastic models, instead of borers, allows confirming that size is an important cue for host recognition by P. coffea. Color did not affect the time spent by parasitoids in contacting the host, though dark colors were handled longer by P. coffea. Our results seem to suggest that cuticular compounds were not involved in host recognition by P. coffea.10aHypothenemus hampei1 aChiu-Magana, Marcela1 aCastillo, Alfredo1 aRojas, Julio, C.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/cues-used-during-host-recognition-phymastichus-coffea-parasitoid-coffe-berry-borer01567nas a2200169   4500008004500000020001400045245018400059210006900243260001300312300001200325490000700337520084800344653002401192100002501216700002101241856013501262       2008                        Engldsh    a1742-758400aHost location behaviour by two Cephalonomia spp. (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) wasps associated with the coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)0 aHost location behaviour by two Cephalonomia spp Hymenoptera Beth  cDecember  a179-1840 v283 aThe host location behaviour of two closely related bethylid parasitoids was investigated under laboratory conditions.

In this study, we investigated the role of the contact chemicals present in dust and frass of H. hampei on the behaviour of P. nasuta and C. stephanoderis females. Parasitoids remained longer on patches treated with methanol extracts than on acetone and hexane extracts. Females spent more time on the patch treated with the methanol extract of dust and frass than on the patches treated with the methanol extract of dry coffee and methanol control. The concentration of the methanol extracts from dust and frass influenced the locomotory activity of parasitoids of both species. The time that females spent in the patch tended to increase as the concentration of the methanol extracts increased. A further experiment aimed to identify other behavioural descriptors and gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying the response of parasitoids to methanol extracts was performed. Females of both species spent more time, covered more distance, turned more (per unit time and per unit distance), and decreased their speed when they contacted patches treated with methanol extracts in comparison to patches treated with methanol control.10aHypothenemus hampei1 aChiu-Alvarado, P.1 aValle-Mora, J.1 aRojas, J., C.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/chemical-cues-coffee-berry-borer-influence-locomotory-behaviour-its-bethylid-parasitoids01932nas a2200181   4500008004100000020001400041245016200055210006900217260001200286300001200298490000800310520120500318653002401523100002501547700002201572700002101594856013501615       2009                        eng d  a0013-874600aAttraction of Prorops nasuta (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae), a parasitoid of the coffee berry borer (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), to host-associated olfactory cues0 aAttraction of Prorops nasuta Hymenoptera Bethylidae a parasitoid  cJanuary  a166-1710 v1023 aThe parasitoid Prorops nasuta Waterston (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) is a wasp of the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

Female wasps were attracted to coffee berry borer-infested coffee berries but not to uninfested or artificially damaged berries. Full-grown larvae and pupae, and dust/frass of H. hampei isolated from infested berries, were attractive to parasitoid females, whereas immature coffee berry borer and dust/frass originating from coffee berry borer reared on an artificial diet were not. Adult coffee berry borer, derived from both infested berries or artificial diet, were not attractive to parasitoids. Females of P. nasuta did not show a preference for volatiles released from unparasitized versus parasitized hosts independent of the time since parasitization.

The susceptibility of the parasitoid was evaluated in terms of adult survivorship, mean lethal concentration (LC50), mean lethal time (LT50), reproduction and immature mortality. The main effect of the fungus resulted in reduction of adult longevity and mortality of 100% for immature stages of this parasitoid. The LC50 for adults was 0.11% equivalent to 9.53 x 107 conidia/ml of B. bassiana and a LT50 of 29.4h, equivalent to reduction of 22% of its normal longevity as an adult. P. coffea was capable of disseminating spores of B. bassiana to non-infected H. hampei adults, which could indirectly cause the death of its own progeny.

Although often detected in prokaryotes, examples of HGT involving animals are relatively rare, and any evolutionary advantage conferred to the recipient is typically obscure. We identified a gene (HhMAN1) from the coffee berry borer beetle, Hypothenemus hampei, a devastating pest of coffee, which shows clear evidence of HGT from bacteria. HhMAN1 encodes a mannanase, representing a class of glycosyl hydrolases that has not previously been reported in insects. Recombinant HhMAN1 protein hydrolyzes coffee berry galactomannan, the major storage polysaccharide in this species and the presumed food of H. hampei. HhMAN1 was found to be widespread in a broad biogeographic survey of H. hampei accessions, indicating that the HGT event occurred before radiation of the insect from West Africa to Asia and South America. However, the gene was not detected in the closely related species H. obscurus (the tropical nut borer or "false berry borer"), which does not colonize coffee beans. Thus, HGT of HhMAN1 from bacteria represents a likely adaptation to a specific ecological niche and may have been promoted by intensive agricultural practices.10aHypothenemus hampei1 aAcuna, Ricardo1 aPadilla, Beatriz, E.1 aFlorez-Ramos, Claudia, P.1 aRubio, Jose, D.1 aHerrera, Juan, C.1 aBenavides, Pablo1 aLee, Sang-Jik1 aYeats, Trevor, H.1 aEgan, Ashley, N.1 aDoyle, Jeffrey, J.1 aRose, Jocelyn, K.

We determined the thermal tolerance of the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei, the most devastating pest of coffee worldwide, and make inferences on the possible effects of climate change using climatic data from Colombia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. For this, the effect of eight temperature regimes (15, 20, 23, 25, 27, 30, 33 and 35[degree]C) on the bionomics of H. hampei was studied. Successful egg to adult development occurred between 20[long dash]30[degree]C. Using linear regression and a modified Logan model, the lower and upper thresholds for development were estimated at 14.9 and 32[degree]C, respectively. In Kenya and Colombia, the number of pest generations per year was considerably and positively correlated with the warming tolerance. Analysing 32 years of climatic data from Jimma (Ethiopia) revealed that before 1984 it was too cold for H. hampei to complete even one generation per year, but thereafter, because of rising temperatures in the area, 1[long dash]2 generations per year/coffee season could be completed. Calculated data on warming tolerance and thermal safety margins of H. hampei for the three East African locations showed considerably high variability compared to the Colombian site. The model indicates that for every 1uC rise in thermal optimum (Topt.), the maximum intrinsic rate of increase (rmax) will increase by an average of 8.5%. The effects of climate change on the further range of H. hampei distribution and possible adaption strategies are discussed.

The treatments were unfertilized control, basal dressing of 100 kg P2O5 ha-1 mixed with 100 kg K2O ha-1, basal dressing of 100 kg P2O5 ha-1 with 100 kg K2O ha-1 and 50 kg N ha-1, basal dressing of 100 kg P2O5 ha-1 with 100 kg K2O ha-1 and 70 kg N ha-1, basal dressing of 100 kg P2O5 ha-1 with 100 kg K2O ha-1 and 90 kg N ha-1, as well as basal dressing of 100 kg P2O5 ha-1 with 100 kg K2O ha-1 and 150 kg N ha-1. The coffee clones were E152, E139 and E138. No differences were found in the nitrogen contents of berries of the various clones. Application of higher rates of fertilizer to the soil increased the nitrogen content and H. hampei numbers in the berries. The correlation coefficients between fertilizer dose and H. hampei numbers were significant. The relation between nitrogen in the berries and H. hampei numbers was also significant.10aHypothenemus hampei1 aDwomoh, E., A.1 aOfori-Frimpong, K.1 aAfrifa, A., A.1 aAppiah, M., R.  uhttp://www.academicjournals.org/AJAR/Archive.htm01073nas a2200193   4500008004100000020001400041245007400055210006900129260001700198300000900215490000700224520048000231653002400711100001900735700001700754700002300771700002300794856006200817       2011                        eng d  a1536-244200aNew record for the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei, in Hawaii0 aNew record for the coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei in Haw  c12 September  a3pp.0 v113 aThe coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is endemic to Africa and is the most devastating pest of coffee worldwide. The female bores a hole in the coffee berry and deposits her eggs inside. Upon hatching, larvae feed on the seeds, thus reducing both quality and yields of the marketable product. The coffee berry borer was found in the district of Kona on the island of Hawaii in August 2010 and appears to be restricted to that area.10aHypothenemus hampei1 aBurbano, Elsie1 aWright, Mark1 aBright, Donald, E.1 aVega, Fernando, E.  uhttp://www.insectscience.org/11.117/i1536-2442-11-117.pdf01262nas a2200217   4500008004500000020001400045245011600059210006900175260000900244300001000253490000600263520057100269653002400840100001700864700001800881700002400899700001800923700002300941700001900964856006100983       2008                        Engldsh    a0974-391X00aEffect of Botanical Insecticides on Coffee Berry Borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) (Coleoptera : Scolytidae)0 aEffect of Botanical Insecticides on Coffee Berry Borer Hypothene  c2008  a70-730 v13 aIn a laboratory study with eight botanicals against the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (F.) showed that neem oil (3%) was superior (78.67%) to others in bringing about berry borer mortality, followed by TNAU NO 60 EC A 3%, TNAU NO 60 EC (3%) and NSKE 5%.
