In Memoriam Marian Adachi Kohn (1929–2014), Hawaiian Entomologist and Scientific Illustrator
(2024) Kabat, Alan R.
Marian Shizuko Adachi Kohn (1929–2014) contributed significantly to our knowledge of Hawaiian entomology through her publications on the Diptera of Hawai‘i and elsewhere in the Pacific region, including a significant 1964 monograph on the Dolichopodidae co-authored with D. Elmo Hardy. Marian described 126 species-level taxa, and she also illustrated several of Hardy’s entomological publications.
Ambrosia Beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) Associated with Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death and Mixed Metrosideros polymorpha Forests on the Island of Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi
(2024) Roy, Kylle; Dunkle, Ellen J.; Manandhar, Roshan; Clark, Michelle; Magnacca, Karl N.; Harshman, Kalli; Peck, Robert W.
Xyleborini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) beetles on the island of Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi, are of interest due to their role in the fungal disease complex, rapid ʻōhiʻa death (ROD), and the unique radiation of endemic ambrosia beetles found across the Hawaiian archipelago. We investigated the status of RODassociated and native ambrosia beetles on Kauaʻi by rearing beetles from bolts collected from ROD-Ceratocystis infested ʻōhiʻa lehua (ʻōhiʻa; Metrosideros polymorpha) trees and trapping in mixed ʻōhiʻa forests. Beetles associated with ROD on Kauaʻi include Xyleborinus saxesenii, Xyleborus affinis, Xyleborus ferrugineus, Xyleborus perforans, Xylosandrus crassiusculus, and Crossotarsus externedentatus. Xyleborus perforans was most abundant in ʻōhiʻa bolts followed by Xyleborus ferrugineus. From trap captures, we identified new island records of the native Xyleborus beetles including Xyleborus dubiosus, Xyleborus oahuensis, and Xyleborus tantalus. Xylosandrus crassiusculus was most abundant in traps. Additional work could contribute to understanding and mitigating the spread of ROD on Kauaʻi and to documenting the endemic Xyleborus beetles.
