Limonius canus LeConte [Elateridae] Pacific coast wireworm (Click beetle)	Yes Present in California vineyards (Flaherty et al. 1992).	No The eggs and larval stages are soil-borne (Andrews et al. 2008); (Bentley et al. 2009) with the larvae living for periods of 2-5 years in the soil feeding on seeds and plant roots (Andrews et al. 2008). Following pupation, adults emerge in late spring through summer to feed on the buds (Bentley et al. 2009). Not known as a pest of grape bunches. Seldom occurs in sufficient numbers to warrant any specific management measures (Flaherty et al. 1992). Given their size, mobility, prevalence, and the predominant larval stages which remain below ground, it is unlikely to be associated with grape bunches.

Melalgus confertus Dejean 1833 [Bostrichidae ] Branch and twig borer	Yes Present throughout California (Bentley et al. 2009).	No M. confertus eggs are laid in cracks of the trunck or on bark (Hamman Jr et al. 1998). Both adults and larvae injure grapevines (Bentley et al. 2009). Larvae bore into dead or dying wood and adults bore into fruiting canes at the base of the bud or shoot, or at the crotch (Bentley et al. 2009).

Otiorhynchus sulcatus Fabricius 1775 [Curculionidae ] Black vine weevil	Yes Present in California (Bentley et al. 2009).	No Larvae feed on roots and pupate in the soil (Bentley et al. 2009). Adults feed at night on buds, flowers and the cluster rachis (Bentley et al. 2006). Most adult activity occurs 3 to 4 hours after sunset and they will often drop to the ground if disturbed during feeding (Moorhouse et al. 1992). They hide during the day in the soil and in cracks at the base of petioles (Moorhouse et al. 1992). As picking of grape bunches occurs during the day, O. sulcatus would not be associated with grape bunches.	Assessment not required	Assessment not required	Assessment not required	No
Philonthus Stephens, 1829 [Staphylinidae] Rove beetle	Yes There are 134 species in North America, including P. politus Linnaeus in California (Arnett Jr 1993).	No Rove beetles in the Staphylinidae family may occur in vineyards but are typlically found under rocks and vegetation on the vineyard floor, or in foliage and bark (Ontario Grape IPM 2009). They are nocturnal and mostly feed on other insects and decaying vegetation, but some species are parasitic (Ontario Grape IPM 2009). A Philonthus sp. has been interecepted by DAFF operational staff during inspections of Californian table grapes for export to Australian eastern states. However, these beetles are likely to be present only as a contaminant and, due to their size and external habit, would be detected during inspection.

Popillia japonica Newman 1838 [Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae] Japanese beetle	No Widespreead east of the Missippi River and highly invasive.

Scobicia declivis LeConte 1860 [Bostrichidae] Leadcable borer	Yes Present in California, including in San Joaquin County and North Coast vineyards (Bentley et al. 2009).

Trogoderma variabile Ballion 1879 [Dermestidae] Warehouse beetle	Yes Present in California (Von Ellenrieder 2004).	No T. variabile attacks foodstuffs in stores and homes, infesting cereals and seeds. It can also be found in packaging materials such as corrugated cardboard (Emery 1999). T. variabile has been interecepted by DAFF operational staff during inspections of Californian table grapes for export to Australian eastern states. However, these beetles are likely to be present only as a contaminant and, due to their size and external habit, would be detected during inspection.

Eristalinus aeneus Scopoli 1763 Synonym: Conops aeneus Scopoli, 1763 [Syrphidae] Hover fly	Yes Present in California (North Carolina State University 2012).	No Larvae feed on decaying organic matter, and adult flies are attracted by flowers and the odour of decay (North Carolina State University 2012). Some species within the Syrphidae family prey on other insects such as aphids (University of California 2011). This insect has been intercepted by DAFF operational staff during inspections of Californian table grapes for export to Australian eastern states as a contaminant rather than a pest of grapes.

Limonia maculate (Meigen) Synonym: Rhipidia maculate Meigen 1818 [Tipulidae] Small cranefly	Yes Present in California (Usinger 1956).	No Crane flies are mainly associated with freshwater environments (Salmela 2010). Feeding is predominantly confined to the larval stage which feed on detritus in habitats such as streams and forest floors (Fetzner Jr 2008). Additional habitats include marshes, springs, meadows, seeps, tree holes, algal growth or mosses, mud, and decaying vegetable debris surrounding streams and ponds (Fetzner Jr 2008). Adults are poor fliers, are most active around dusk, and usually live near moist woodlands and around water, where larval life is spent (Fetzner Jr 2008). Has been intercepted by DAFF operational staff during inspections of Californian table grapes for export to Australian eastern states as a contaminant rather than a pest of grapes.

Draeculacephala minerva Ball 1927 [Cicadellidae] Green sharpshooter	Yes Present in California (Redak et al. 2004; Bentley et al. 2009).	No Economically important as a potential vector of Pierce’s disease and is most abundant in riparian habitats in association with weeds, shrubs and trees (Redak et al. 2004). D. Minerva feeds on pastures, and Vitis vinifera is only an occasional host (Purcell and Frazier 1985; Cabrera-La Rosa et al. 2008; Bentley et al. 2009). Furthermore, given the large size and mobility of sharpshooter species, they are easily detected and disturbed during harvest and packing house operations.

No This pest is most abundant in riparian habitats in association with weeds, shrubs and trees (Redak et al. 2004). Sharpshooters feed on the succulent new growth of shoots, not fruit (Redak et al. 2004). Furthermore, given the large size and mobility of sharpshooter species, they are easily detected and disturbed during harvest and packing house operations.
