Tapias-Múnera Julián1 Gaviria-Rivera Adelaida María1 1Museo Entomológico Francisco Luís Gallego MEFLG, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sede Medellín. Pentatomomorpha es un infraorden de insectos pertenecientes al orden Hemiptera (Forero, 2008). Por lo general su cuerpo es de forma ovalada y elíptica, el escutelo es generalmente grande, la cabeza es considerablemente más pequeña que el ancho del pronoto y las antenas son cortas con un máximo de cinco segmentos (Slater & Baranowski, 1978). La mayoría de especies se alimentan de plantas, por lo cual algunas son plagas de cultivos, otras se alimentan de hongos y algunas de semillas, sin embargo, también se encuentran en este grupo algunas especies que son depredadoras de insectos (Arnett, 2000). Se presenta la lista de los individuos de las familias Pentatomidae, Cydnidae, Thyreocoridae y Cyrtocoridae que reposan en el Museo Entomológico Francisco Luís Gallego-MEFLG. La familia Pentatomidae conocida como “chinches” verdaderos presenta un tamaño de moderado a grande (Slater & Baranowski, 1978). El escutelo es grande y el cuerpo es ancho, por lo general tienen el pronoto amplio con bordes laterales puntiagudos, lo que los hace bastante fáciles de identificar (Schuh & Slater, 1995). Algunos son plagas de cultivos y por lo general viven en las plantas de las cuales se alimentan; sin embargo, existen algunas especies que son depredadoras de insectos, lo que los hace beneficiosos porque ayudan a mantener bajas algunas poblaciones plagas (Arnett, 2000). En el museo reposan actualmente 696 individuos de esta familia, agrupados dentro de 44 géneros y 49 especies. En las que se pueden encontrar: Alcaeorrhynchus grandis (Dallas, 1851), Podisus crassimargo (Stal, 1860), Antiteuchus panamensis (Ruckes, 1959), Edessa vinula Stal, 1862, Oebalus ornatus Sailer, 1945, Tibraca limbativentris (Stal, 1860) (Tabla 1). La familia Cydnidae presenta individuos de color negro o rojizo conocidos como “insectos de madriguera” (Slater & Baranowski, 1978). El tamaño de estos insectos es de pequeño a medio (Schuh & Slater, 1995). El escutelo es grande pero no alcanza a cubrir las alas, tienen la tibia frontal aplanada y con espinas usadas para cavar en el suelo donde viven (Slater & Baranowski, 1978). La mayoría de especies se alimentan de las raíces de las plantas (Schuh & Slater, 1995). En el museo se encuentran actualmente 76 individuos, agrupados en 5 géneros y las siguientes especies: Cyrtomenus bergi Froeschner, Cyrtomenus ciliatus (Palisot de Beauvois, 1818), Cyrtocoris egeris (Pack & Schaefer), Galgupha vinculata (Germar, 1839), Scaptocoris minor Berg, 1894 y Geocnethus sp. (Tabla 2). Thyreocoridae es una pequeña familia de individuos ovalados y usualmente brillantes conocidos como “chinches negros”, presentan un tamaño de pequeño a medio (Arnett, 2000). Las tibias son espinosas (Slater & Baranowski, 1978). El escutelo es bastante 6 V 10 Nº3 Julio - Septiembre de 2018 - ISSN 2027- 4378 grande, convexo y cubre totalmente el abdomen, lo que los hace tener una apariencia de pequeños escarabajos (Slater & Baranowski, 1978). Se encuentran en malezas en campos abiertos (Slater & Baranowski, 1978). En el museo reposan actualmente 28 individuos representados por una sola especie, Alkindus atratus Distant, 1889. (Tabla 3). Cyrtocoridae es una familia de pentatomidos “jorobados”, son relativamente pequeños, de forma redondeada, con colores que varían entre gris oscuro a marrón oscuro, se caracterizan principalmente por las expansiones aplanadas de la parte anterior de la cabeza y por una joroba o espina dorsal en el escutelo (Packauskas & Schaefer, 1998). En el museo reposan en la actualidad 28 individuos representados por una sola especie, Cyrtocoris egeris (Pack & Schaefer). (Tabla 4). Tabla1.

Packauskas1 Abstract Forty eight species of Pentatomidae are listed as occurring in the state of Kansas, nine of these are new state records. A key to all species known from the state of Kansas is given, along with some notes on new state records. ____________________ The family Pentatomidae, comprised of mainly phytophagous and a few predaceous species, is one of the largest families of Heteroptera. Some of the phytophagous species have a wide host range and this ability may make them the most economically important family among the Heteroptera (Panizzi et al. 2000). As a group, they have been found feeding on cotton, nuts, fruits, veg- etables, legumes, and grain crops (McPherson 1982, McPherson and McPherson 2000, Panizzi et al 2000).

  • Primera Cita De Dos Especies De Insectos Sobre El Cultivo De Maní (Arachis Hypogaea L.) En Córdoba, Argentina
    AGRISCIENTIA, 2006, VOL. XXIII (2): 99-103 COMUNICACIÓN Primera cita de dos especies de insectos sobre el cultivo de maní (Arachis hypogaea L.) en Córdoba, Argentina Boito, G.T.; J. A. Ornaghi, J. A. Giuggia y D. Giovanini RESUMEN La Argentina es uno de los principales exportadores de maní tipo confitería, cuya mayor área de producción se encuentra en la provincia de Córdoba. Entre los años 2002 y 2005 se realizaron monitoreos sobre el cultivo, en las localidades de Charras y General Deheza, situadas en dicha área, para determinar la presencia de insectos que pudieran ocasionarle algún daño. En esta comunicación se cita por primera vez a Anomala testaceipennis Blanchard (Coleoptera-Melolonthidae- Rutelinae-Anomalini) y Caliothrips phaseoli Hood (Thysanoptera-Thripidae-Pan- chaetothripinae) causando daño sobre maní (Arachis hypogaea L.) en Córdoba, Argentina. Los estados inmaduros de Anomala testaceipennis se identificaron sobre la base de características morfológicas, principalmente la disposición de las setas en el extremo abdominal (raster), y los adultos de ambas especies fueron identificados mediante el uso de claves taxonómicas especializadas. Debido a la importancia de la calidad del producto que se comercializa (maní tipo confi- tería para exportación) es relevante cuantificar el daño que estos insectos pro- vocan y si ello incide económicamente en la producción del cultivo.

Males and females of B. tabidus were reared from nymphs fed with Tenebrio molitor L. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) pupae in laboratory. Females of B. tabidus weighting 95 to 150 mg and those with 160 to 220 mg constituted two treatments. Oviposition period and numbers of egg masses, eggs and nymphs per female of B. tabidus were higher in the treatment with heavier females, while the periods of preoviposition, between egg mass laying, egg incubation and number of eggs per egg mass, besides the percentage of nymphs hatched and adult longevity were similar between treatments. Heavier females of B. tabidus presented better productivity and for this reason they should be used in programs of mass rearing this predator. Key words: Asopinae, predatory bugs, mass rearing, biological control, reproductive potential INTRODUCTION plantations, while Alcaeorrhynchus grandis (Dallas), Tynacantha marginata Dallas, Oplomus Generalist predators are important for biological sp. and Supputius cincticeps (Stal) are less control of pests because they can feed on many frequent.

  • Perspectives in Ecological Theory and Integrated Pest Management
    Perspectives in Ecological Theory and Integrated Pest Management Since the early days of integrated pest management a sound ecological foundation has been considered essential for the development of effective systems. From time to time, there have been attempts to evaluate the ways in which ecological theory is exploited in pest control, and to review the lessons that ecologists learn from pest management. In the last 20 years there have been many developments within the contribution of ecological theory to integrated pest management, and the objective of this book is to capture some of the new themes in both pest management and ecology that have emerged and to provide an updated assessment of the role that basic ecology plays in the development of rational and sustainable pest management practices. The major themes are examined, assessing the significance and potential impact of recent technological and conceptual developments for the future of integrated pest management. Marcos Kogan is Professor and Director Emeritus of the Integrated Plant Protection Center at Oregon State University. Paul Jepson has been Director of the Integrated Plant Protection Center at Oregon State University since 2002.
