E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Compsidolon Reuter from China with eleven species is reviewed here. Three of them, C. ailaoshanensis, C. flavidum, and C. pilosum are described as new to science. C. eximium (Reuter) is recorded from China for the first time. Compsidolon punctulatum Qi and Nonnaizab, 1995 is treated as a junior synonym of Compsidolon nebulosum (Reuter, 1878). A key to Chinese species of Compsidolon Reuter is given. Photographs of dorsal habitus, scanning electron micrographs of metathoracic scent-gland, and illustrations of male genitalia are also provided. All type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Nankai University, Tianjin, China. Key words: Heteroptera, Miridae, Compsidolon, new species, new synonymy, China Introduction Reuter (1899) erected the monotypic genus Compsidolon to accommodate the type species, C. elegantulum from Syria. It was characterized by the dorsum covered with dark spots. Wagner (1965, 1975) presented keys to subgenera and species, and illustrated the male genitalia. His works were focused on the European fauna. Linnavuori (1992, 1993, 2010) recorded species from Greece, Middle East, and Africa.

LOAN Biosystematics Research Institute, Agriculture Canada, Research Branch, Ottawa KlA 0C6 Resume Nous avons e'eve des Euphorines parasites (14 espbces de Peristenus et 4 de Leiophron) b partir de 28 especes de Mirides, recoltes pres de Belleville, Ontario. Nous avons, en plus, obtenu plusieurs immatures d'Euphorines indeterminees chez 24 autres espbces d'hotes. Les parasites de chaque espece se rencontrent dans les nymphes d'une ou plusieurs especes de mirides. La majorite des hates et tous les parasites nont qu'une seule generation annuelle. L'attaque des para- sites ne se produit que durant la periode nymphale de I'hote. Les adultes hivernent en diapause, dans les cocons. Le taux de parasitisme est de 16 6 64%. Abstract Euphorine parasites, comprising 14 species of Peristenus and four of Leio- phron, were reared from 28 plant bug species collected near Belleville, Ontario. Immature, unidentifiable euphorines were found in 24 other host species. Each of the parasite species attacked nymphs of one or more plant bugs. Most of the hosts, and all the parasites have one generation per year. Parasitism was limited to the portion of the season when the host(s) was in the nymphal stage. The over- wintered parasites were inactive as diapausing adults in cocoons until the growing season of the following year. From 16-64 per cent of host nymphs were parasitized. Introduction Materials and methods Species of the euphorine genera Periste- Plant bugs were collected during May- nus Foerster and Leiophron Nees parasitize August in representative habitats immediately nymphs of plant bugs (Miridae).

In systematic review a total of eighty four species in twenty eight genera of Phylines are recognized from the Korean Peninsula. During this study, twenty new reports including six new species were investigated; and purposed a synonym and revised recombination. Keys to genera and species, diagnosis, descriptions including male and female genitalia, illustrations and short biological notes are provided for each of the species.

Simple Summary: Biological control (BC) is an effective way to regulate pest populations in hor- ticultural crops, allowing the decrease of pesticide usage. On tomato, predatory insects like plant bugs or mirids provide BC services against several insect pests. Native predators are adapted to local conditions of climate and ecology and therefore may be well suited to provide BC services. Dicyphus cerastii is a predatory mirid that is present in the Mediterranean region and occurs in tomato greenhouses in Portugal. However, little is known about its contribution to BC in this crop. In this study, we evaluated how prey consumption is affected by increasing prey abundance on four different prey, in laboratory conditions. We found that the predator can increase its predation rate until a maximum is reached and that prey characteristics like size and mobility can affect predation.
