	abstract = {FULL TEXT (translated): The fauna of Lepidoptera of the islands Fiji east, with that of the Samoa, one of faunas the best known ones of the archipelagoes of the Southern Pacific. However, for the Fiji, any work d{\textquoteright} together n{\textquoteright} was made like out the Samoa; only Tams (Insects off Samoa, Lepid., 4,1935) gives a list  of species for certain families (mainly Noctuidae and Pyralidae). We give here today a small list of moths coming from the collections of the National Museum of Natural History {Paris} and reported there is more than 50 years by Filhol; we will add time, the labels of source are marked unfortunately only: Fiji or Fiji islands, without quoting the exact island of the archipelago. Certain species were already quoted by Tams, this work will confirm their presence in the Fiji.With regard to Mariannes, any work that was made; if not the studied together of the insect fauna of Guam by the Services of the Experiment Station of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters{\textquoteright} Association. Some families of Lepidoptera (Geometridae, Noctuidae, Pyralidae), were studied by Swezey (Insects off Guam II). The list that we give comes from the material collected by Marche at the end of last century. The name of the island will be given following each species.Moths of FijiDracaenura stenosoma Feld.

	abstract = {Biological control started in the Marianas in 1911. Biocontrol agents have been introduced to control herbivorous insects, weeds, dung, molluscs, livestock pests, mosquitoes and household pests. In all, 104 species of insects, two predatory mites, three snails, one nematode and four vertebrates have been intentionally introduced to Guam for the purposes of controlling 41 pest species. Of the insect species, 34 established, 48 did not establish, 5 established temporarily and the status of the rest is not known. Additional introductions were made to other islands in the Marianas. Among the pests most successfully controlled by biological agents were Achatina fulica, Aleurocanthus spiniferus, Aleurothrixus floccosus, Aspidiotus destructor, Brontispa mariana, B. palauensis, Epilachna vigintisexpunctata philippinensis, Nipaecoccus viridis, Erionota thrax, Penicillaria jocosatrix, and Spodoptera litura. Two weeds, Lantana camara and Chromolaena odorata have been successfully controlled by herbivorous insects. Most attempts at biological control in the Marianas have been transfers of species successfully introduced elsewhere. Most species introduced from temperate climatic zones failed to establish. Species which established on Hawaii [USA] frequently established on Guam as well. Reasons for failure to establish were varied. Against Homopteran pests, 58\% of the introduced natural enemies established. The establishment rate against Lepidoptera and Diptera was low.},

	abstract = {This report is part of the {\textquotedblleft}Marianas Expedition Wildlife Survey 2010{\textquotedblright} (MEWS 2010), a U.S. Fish \& Wildlife Service (USFWS) project funded by the Department of Defense - U.S. Marines and is tasked to gather natural resource information on fish and wildlife in the Mariana Islands. This information is required by federal regulations to properly determine the potential impacts that will occur due to the shifting of significant military resources from Okinawa to the Territory of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. As part of this military build-up, Pagan is under consideration as a live fire training area. This report gives the results of a terrestrial arthropod survey conducted by USFWS and NAVPAC personnel on Pagan in the month of July 2010 and gives details on significant findings resulting from material collected on that survey. In addition, a full checklist of terrestrial arthropods known from Pagan Island is given based on the current survey material as well as previous published records. An appendix gives a full bibliography of articles dealing with Pagan arthropods. Staff from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pacific Islands Office, and the U.S. Navy conducted collections of terrestrial arthropods from 9-21 July 2010 using a variety of collecting methods including Malaise flight intercept traps, yellow water pan traps, pitfall traps, peanut butter traps for ants, aerial sweep netting, aquatic dip netting, aspirating, and hand collections. Thousands of terrestrial arthropod specimens resulted from these collections, which were sorted by the collectors to order (to class for non-insects) and delivered to the Bishop Museum for identification. A team of entomologists at the Bishop Museum identified a total of 288 different taxa of terrestrial arthropods based on the survey, which included 228 new island records for Pagan (doubling the number of arthropods previously recorded from Pagan) bringing the total number of terrestrial arthropod species known from Pagan to 416. The full list of identified arthropods is given in Appendix II and includes all previously published terrestrial arthropod records for Pagan as well as the new records identified during this study. To put the arthropod fauna into a proper historical context in order to better understand their possible biological status on the island (e.g., endemic, native, nonindigenous), a history of human habitation as well as previous collecting expeditions is given. The vast majority of identified terrestrial arthropods are most likely nonindigenous, having arrived on Pagan via a variety of mechanisms including transport by humans, supply shipments, and commerce. Verification of true status requires study of the known distributions and potential vagility of each species, which was outside the scope of this report. Although the island has undergone numerous geophysical and human land use changes resulting in what we are calling a synanthropic arthropod fauna, there are still pockets of native arthropods that survive. Eight endemic species are recorded, three of them are new to science. In addition, one new genus was found. The littoral zone has been a neglected area for previous collectors, and a number of new marine and littoral faunal records have resulted from collecting during this survey. None of the arthropods identified are any threat to the megapode or fruit bat populations on the island. The crazy ant, Anoplolepis gracilipes, may pose a potential threat to food resources of the bat and megapodes if the populations on the island ever form what are called supercolonies. Their population levels now are large but not dangerous.},
