Eudocima fullonia (Clerck), a target for classical biological control, occurs in that region including Papua New Guinea where it is not a pest and where it is thought to be controlled by natural enemies. Surveys conducted in Papua New Guinea revealed that two abundant egg parasitoids, Telenomus lucullus (Nixon) and Ooencyrtus sp. (Papilionis, species- group, Encyrtidae) were contributing up to 95\% mortality of moth eggs. The host specificity of both parasitoids was studied in the laboratory by exposing them to eggs of related Noctuidae. T. lucullus was found to be specific to Eudocima spp. in the laboratory but Ooencyrtus sp. oviposited and developed on several non-target noctuid species in the presence of the moth host{\textquoteright}s food plants. T. lucullus and Ooencyrtus sp. were assessed as adequately host specific for release in Samoa, Tonga, Fiji and the Cook islands. However, the parasioids were not assessed with the nontarget E. iridescens (T.P. Lucas), a rare species from northern Australia unavailable for testing. The two egg parasitoids were released on Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, and the Cook Islands but were not released in Australia due to the inability to demonstrate adequate host specificity. T. lucullus and Ooencyrtus sp. both became established in Tonga and Fiji but only T. lucullus became established in Samoa and the Cook islands. After establishment of parasitoids increased levels of egg parasitism and declines in the abundance of target eggs occurred in Samoa and Tonga, and decreases in the abundance of the moths and its damage to fruit were observed in Fiji and Cook Islands. The methods for conducting surveys, host specificity testing and field evaluations are described.}, keywords = {biocontrol, Cook Islands, Eudocima, HYMENOPTERA, invasive species, LEPIDOPTERA, Noctuidae, Pacific Insects, PARASITISM}, author = {Sands, D. and Liebregts, W.}, editor = {Hoddle, M.

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.}, keywords = {Acari, Araneae, Blattodea, Chilopoda, Coleoptera, Collembola, Cosmopterigidae, Crambidae, Dermaptera, Diplopoda, DIPTERA, distribution, Embioptera, Geometridae, Guam, Hemiptera, Hesperiidae, HYMENOPTERA, Isopoda, Isoptera, LEPIDOPTERA, Lycaenidae, Mantodea, Micronesia, NEUROPTERA, Noctuidae, Northern Marianas Islands, Nymphalidae, ODONATA, ORTHOPTERA, Pacific Insects, Papilionidae, Phasmatodea, Pseudoscorpion, Psocoptera, Pterophoridae, Pyralidae, Scorpionida, Siphonaptera, Thysanoptera, Thysanura, Tineidae}, author = {Evenhuis, N.

Biogeographically it is also interesting as it is amongst the most easterly islands of the Indo-West Pacific region, and has been largely colonized by species dispesing from island to island across the ocean from the west. New and extenive collections of insects were made in 1991. Although not fully identified yet, it is clear that the fauna is depauperate, with only about 180 species know to date. Despite its easterly ocation almost all species are derived from the west, and much of the fauna is likely to be indigenous. The most diverse orders are the Lepidoptera (c. 53 spp.), Coleoptera (c. 38 spp.), Diptera (c. 37 spp.), Hymenoptera (c. 21 spp.), Homoptera (c.14 spp.) and Heteroptera (4 spp.).
