Considerable numbers of S. longipalpa were observed in several dwellings in Athens in autumn 1993. This is the first report of this cockroach as a pest in Greece. Subsequently, the species has been observed in urban areas in the Peloponnese and central Greece.

The Australian longicom beetle genus Phoracantha Newman is revised and the scope of the genus is redefined. Tryphocaria Pascoe is synonyrnised with Phoracantha. The revised Phoracantha includes 40 species, 9 of which are described as new: P. niamata, P. manifesta, P. ancoralis, P. multiformis, P. complicata, P. tuberalis, P. cruciata, P. perbella and P. rugithoracica. Diagnosis and brief descriptions of other species are provided. New synonyms are listed as follows (senior synonyms last): Tryphocaria with Phoracantha, Xypeta Pascoe with Phoracantha, T. gisleni Tippmann with P. northamensis (McKeown), P. recurva papua Gressitt with P. recurva Newman, P. hospita Pascoe with P. semipunctata (Fabricius), P. posticalis Blackburn with P. obscura (Donovan). Distributional maps are given for all species except P. princeps (Blackburn). Male terminalia are described and figured, and ovipositors are figured only. A key to the 40 species is given. Brief comments are given on the biology of this beetle group.

The Coccinellid  beetle, Rodolia  cardinalis (Mulsant), was introduced into Egypt in 1902 to control Icerya purchasi Mask. Developmental  stages of R. cardinalis have been found to be associated with populations of Icerya aegyptiacu (Douglas) on Ficus nitida trees in the Mansoura district of Egypt. The present work  throws  more light on the adaptation of this predator when feeding on Icer-ya aeg-vptiuca as compared with  feeding on I. purchmi. Choice of prey type was found to have a marked effect on egg coloration  but  appears to have no effect on hatching success or incubation  period. The development of R. cavdinalis larvae when reared  in  culture on I. aegyptiaca was  significantly faster than that fed on I. purchasi. The fecundity of R. cardinalis females was not affected by the prey type consumed as adults, and although  the longevity of males and females was shorter in association with I. purchasi, this difference was not significant. The results indicate that R. cardinalis is  well adapted to I. aegyptiacu in Egypt.
