    Notes: Serrasalmids of the genus Mylossoma are obligate gill-breathers that are encountered in the floodplain lakes of Amazonia, even when the oxygen concentrations there are below 0.5 mg l−1. It was shown by experiments that fish of these species are capable of utilizing the oxygen-rich surface layer of the water for respiration, in order to survive periods of habitat-induced hypoxia. This so-called aquatic surface respiration entails an increase in locomotory activity and an ecomorphosis involving the formation of a dermal extension on the lower jaw, that apparently has a hydrodynamic function for using the surface layer for gill respiration; when the water is aerated, it retrogresses to its original size. Histological examination showed that the extension is formed by edematous processes in the stratum spongiosum.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les recherches entreprises de 1973 à 1984 ont montré que le champignon entomophatogèneBeauveria bassiana Vuillemin était largement répandu sur larves deSitona spp. en rǵeion méditerranéenne. Il y fait toutefois défaut (tableau 2) dans les zones pastorales d'Afrique du Nord, de Chypre, de Syrie et d'Irak. La mortalité larvaire due à cette mycose parait en mesure d'influencer l'évolution dynamique des populations deSitona discoideus Gyllenhal (tableau 3). En effet,B. bassiana est susceptible d'affecteur jusqu'à 100% des larves deS. discoiduus s'attaquant aux dieverses espèces deMedicago, suivant les sites considérés en France méditerranéenne. Lors de tests en laboratoire une souche méridionale deB. bassiana s'est révélée paritculièrement infectieuse à des doses relativement faibles, de l'ordre de 105 conidies par gramme de terre (tableau 4). Une telle virulence perment d'envisager d'éventuelles applications de plein champ contreS. discoideus en Australie méridionale. Une expérimentation plus détaillée est`a prévoir, qui devra cependant tenir compte d'un affaiblissement graduel du pouvoir infectieux des isolats au cours de leur conservation en mycothéque.
    Notes: Abstract Field survey showed that the fungusBeauveria bassiana Vuillemin was the predominant natural enemy ofSitona discoideus Gyllenhal larvae and pupae in the Mediterranean region. The present area of distribution of the disease does not, however, include the parts of North Africa, Cyprus, Syria and Iraq with a Mediterranean climate. At localities regularly investigated in southern France over the period 1973–79, the population dynamics of larvalSitona on volunteerMedicato species appeared to be correlated to some extent with the impact of the fungal disese, which could produce up to 100% mortality on its host larval populations. Several isolates of the pathogen were tested in laboratory bioassays to determine their potential activity. One accession from southern France proved particularly virulent toS. discoideus larvae and pupae at the relatively low concentration of 105 conidia/g of soil. This accession seemed worth considering for further quarantine testing and introduction into Australia. Differences between isolates were however confounded by varying ages of the cultures involved.
