Description
Root-feeding white grubs (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) are among the most important group of pests attacking grasses in pastures and landscapes in the United States. Throughout the continental United States, about 10 species of grubs and several species in the genus Phyllophaga are reported pests of turfgrass (Vittum et al. 1999). In southeastern states, grubs of Phyllophaga, southern masked chafer (Cyclocephala lurida), the green June beetle (Cotinus nitidia), and Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica) are traditionally associated with damaged turfgrass. However, recent publications (Buss 2006, 2008) challenge the assumption that just a few species account for the alleged increase in damage to turfgrass from white grubs in the southeast. Furthermore, introduced and native species may be expanding their range into or throughout the southeast. This paper documents the occurrence of white grubs of the Asiatic garden beetle Maladera castanea (Arrow), an exotic species, in damaged turfgrass in Alabama. Asiatic garden beetles, native to China and Japan, were first detected in New Jersey in 1921. They have since spread to most of the northeastern states, west to Indiana, and south to South Carolina (Vittum et al. 1999, NAPIS 2008). Spread of Asiatic garden beetles in the northeast was attributed to natural dispersal of adults as well as movement of infested nursery stock and turfgrass (Hawley & Hallock 1936).
