RESUMEN 1. Introducción Actualmente, el control biológico es la base de los programas de Gestión Integrada de Plagas (GIP) de cítricos en el Mediterráneo. Uno de los mayores riesgos para estos programas de GIP en cítricos es la llegada y establecimiento de plagas exóticas que no tienen agentes de control biológico autóctonos o naturalizados que los puedan controlar. Su establecimiento obliga a los agricultores a utilizar insecticidas de amplio espectro que son incompatibles con la GIP por su elevada toxicidad sobre los agentes de control biológico. Este es el caso de dos de las últimas especies de plagas invasoras en nuestros cítricos: Delottococcus aberiae (De Lotto) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) y Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio) (Hemiptera: Triozidae). Delottococcus aberiae es un pseudocóccido originario del África subsahariana que fue detectado en nuestros cítricos por primera vez en el año 2009. Este pseudocóccido, al contrario de otras especies de cochinillas algodonosas, causa graves deformaciones y reducción de tamaño en los frutos atacados, lo que conlleva importantes pérdidas económicas. Hasta su detección en nuestros cítricos, D. aberiae no había sido citado anteriormente como plaga de cítricos. xiv Desde el momento en que D. aberiae se estableció hasta la fecha, su control se ha basado únicamente en la utilización repetida de insecticidas de amplio espectro en primavera. En los programas de GIP, el control químico se debe limitar al momento en el que la plaga sobrepasa el Umbral Económico de Daños (UED) y Medioambiental (UEDM). Se entiende por UED la densidad poblacional mínima de plaga que origina daños económicos en el cultivo, considerando como daños económicos cuando los costes necesarios para evitar los daños en cosecha son iguales o superiores al valor económico de la pérdida de la cosecha. Los UEDM tienen además en cuenta los costes medioambientales que se producen. Para establecer estos umbrales, primero es necesario establecer un método fiable de muestreo que permita estimar la densidad poblacional de la plaga. En el caso de D. aberiae no se han desarrollado ni el método de muestreo ni los umbrales de tratamiento. A más largo plazo y especialmente en cítricos, el control de plagas exóticas debe priorizar el control biológico. Para ello el primer paso es identificar y determinar la eficacia de los agentes de control biológico nativos. Entre todos los agentes de control biológico, los depredadores y los parasitoides son los grupos más utilizados en el control de pseudocóccidos. Entre los parasitoides, los himenópteros pertenecientes a la familia Encyrtidae son los más importantes. Sin embargo, ninguna de las especies de encírtidos que parasitan a las especies de pseudocóccidos autóctonos han logrado parasitar eficazmente a D. aberiae debido a que el pseudocóccido encapsula los huevos puestos por los parasitoides. Entre todos los depredadores autóctonos o naturalizados de pseudocóccidos, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Mulsant (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) es el depredador estenófago más voraz. Desde su introducción en España en 1928 como agente de control biológico de Planococcus citri Risso (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), se encuentra de forma natural en los campos de xv cítricos mediterráneos y además se utiliza en el control biológico aumentativo de otras especies de pseudocóccidos. Sin embargo, se desconoce el efecto que C, montrouzieri tiene sobre las poblaciones de D.

(Acari: Parasitidae) is described based on females, deutonymphs and males extracted from leaf litter and soil in Ami, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Morphological differences between the new species and its closely related species, Vulgarogamasus fujisanus (Ishikawa, 1972), are recorded based on the examination of type mate- rials. Information about parasitid mites reported in Japanese literature is reviewed, and a key to species is provided. Key words: Parasitiformes, morphology, Parasitoidea, Japan, new species, Vulgarogamasus, taxonomy Introduction Mites of the family Parasitidae Oudemans, 1901 (Acari, Mesostigmata) are important predators in soil, feeding on microarthropods, collembolans and nematodes (Lindquist et al., 2009). The family comprises 35 genera and about 426 described species (Beaulieu et al., 2011).

Three species are recorded from Montenegro for the first time: Aleuroclava aucubae (Kuwana), Aleurotuba jelinekii (Frauenfeld) and Bemisia afer (Priesner & Hosny) complex. Two of the species, A. aucubae and B. afer complex were found in Tološi, on Citrus sp. and Laurus nobilis, respectively. Aleurotuba jelinekii was found in Podgorica on Viburnum tinus. KEY WORDS: Whiteflies, Aleyrodidae, Montenegro Introduction Whiteflies comprise a single family, Aleyrodidae, which currently contains 1556 extant species in 161 genera (Martin & Mound, 2007). Fifty-six species occur outdoors in Europe and the Mediterranean basin (Martin et al., 2000). All whiteflies are phytophagous and have three developmental stages: egg, larval (with four larval instars) and adult. Many species are economically important plant pests of outdoor crops, ornamentals and indoor plantings. Feeding by immature whiteflies reduces plant vigor by depletion of plant sap, and foliage becomes contaminated with eliminated honeydew on which black sooty mold grows, thereby reducing the photosynthetic area and lowering the aesthetic appearance of ornamentals. Adults of a small number of species, most notably Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), are important vectors of plant viruses (Jones, 2003).

ABSTRACT: Six species of ants are presented as new to the fauna of Gran Canaria: Pheidole pallidula (Nyl.), Tetramorium bicarinatum (Nyl.), Solenopsis geminata (Fabr.), Aphaenogaster iberica Emery, Tapinoma melanocephalum Fabr. and Lasius grandis Forel. The importance of these introduced species to the original fauna is also discussed. Key words: Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, new species, introduced species. RESUMEN: Se estudian seis especies nuevas para Gran Canaria: Pheidole pallidula (Nyl.), Tetramorium bicarinatum (Nyl.), Solenopsis geminata (Fabr.), Aphaenogaster iberica Emery, Tapinoma melanocephalum Fabr. y Lasius grandis Forel. Se discute también la relevancia de especies importadas para la fauna original. Palabras clave: Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Gran Canaria, islas Canarias, especias nuevas, especies importadas. INTRODUCTION During some short stays in Gran Canaria the ant fauna was studied. Most of the known species were found and checked against current literature (Barquín, 1981; 1993). It was then noticed that there were some species that had not previously been reported from the island. These could be named later on. This report contains a list of the species with descriptions and figures. Hopefully it can be used as a complement to the keys in Barquín (1981). Specimens are deposited in the Museo de Ciencias Naturales de Tenerife (TFMC). 198 RESULTS Species list Pheidole pallidula (Nyl.) 1849.

In an attempt to evaluate the insects temperature adaptations that play a significant role in its establishment potential, life table parameters and the effect of temperature on its fecundity, longevity, host-instar choice, superparasitism and host feeding were studied. Tests were conducted at 20, 25 and 30 ± 0.5 °C with 60 ± 10% RH and a 14L:10D photoperiod. S. petiolatus oviposition period was 21.05 ± 2.54 days at 30 °C but as short as 2.25 ± 0.23 days at 20 °C. Fecundity had a maximum value (173.3 ± 27.09) at 30 °C followed by 143.57 ± 22.67 and 5.13 ± 0.81 at 25 and 20 °C, respectively while, 28.57% of the females failed to oviposit at 20 °C. Female longevity averaged between 25.20 and 20.57 days at 30 and 25 °C, respectively but dropped to just 5.77 days at 20 °C.

Ants are the most abundant group of soil arthropods in olive groves where they are involved in various trophic relation- ships of great importance for crops. The system of soil management is one agricultural practice that has a great effect on ants, so the objective of this study was to compare ant populations in organic olive orchards with a ground cover of natural vegetation and others where this natural vegetation is mechanically removed at the beginning of June. Ants were sampled using pitfall traps at 14, 30, 70 and 90 days after the removal of the ground vegetation. Overall, ant biodiversity did not change. However, changes were observed in the abundance of ant species, in particular, in those species that build shallow nests in the soil, both between the rows of trees and under the canopy of olive trees. In contrast, deep nesting species, such as Messor barbarus, were not affected.
