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).

External morphology of egg of Eurygaster maura (LINNAEUS , 1758) was investigated by light (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The females were collected from Ankara, Aya ş, Asartepe and maintained under the laboratory conditions. Each female was shown to deposit generally 14 green eggs in a mass. The spherical shaped eggs were 1.04 mm in length and 0.96 mm in width. The first external evidence of embryonic development was the appearance of two red eye spots opposite each other beneath the aero-micropylar processes followed by appearance of a blackish T-shaped egg burster between the eye spots. Egg surface are covered with polygons. They have 20 to 22 aero-micropyles in a shape of truncated cones between polygons. KEY WORDS: Heteroptera, Scutelleridae, Eurygaster maura , chorion, external morphology, aero- micropylar processes, egg-burster, scanning electron microscope INTRODUCTION The taxonomic and phylogenetic importance of eggshell structure in pterygote insects has been demonstrated in various orders at different levels (HINTON 1981, SALKELD 1983, 1984, MARGARITIS 1985). Research on eggs of Heteroptera has been reviewed by SOUTHWOOD (1956), COBBEN (1968), and HINTON (1981). Afterwards, egg surface structure of Heteroptera species including Scutelleridae has been reported by many authors, however accurate knowledge of the egg morphology still lacks in many taxonomic groups (ESSELBAUGH 1946, GRIGOROV 1988, JAVAHERY 1994, SIMICZYJEW 1994, SULUDERE et al.

Carol I, nr. 11, 700506, Iasi, Romania. 2 Troldhøjvej 3, DK-3310 Ølsted, Denmark, e-mail: [email protected],dk Corresponding author: [email protected] This paper presents an overview of the most important and best-known works that were the subject of taxonomy or systematics Platygastroidea superfamily. The paper is divided into three parts. In the first part of the research surprised the early period can be placed throughout the XIXth century between Latreille and Dalla Torre. Before this period, references about platygastrids and scelionids were made by Linnaeus and Schrank, they are the ones who described the first platygastrid and scelionid respectively. In this the first period work entomologists as: Haliday, Westwood, Walker, Forster, Ashmead, Thomson, Howard, etc., the result of their work being the description of 699 scelionids species which are found quoted in Dalla Torre's catalogue. The second part of the paper is devoted to early 20th century. This vibrant work is marked by the work of two great entomologists: Kieffer and Dodd. In this period one publish the first and only global monograph of platygastrids and scelionids until now. In this monograph are twice the number of species than in Dalla Torre's catalogue which shows the magnitude of the systematic research of those moments. The third part of the paper refers to the late 20th and early 21st century.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Nano-particles have become one of the most promising new approaches for pest control in recent years. In this study, laboratory trails were carried out to investigate the insecticidal potential of TiO2 nano-particles against nymphs and adults of Eurygaster testudinaria. TiO2 nano-particles were found to be highly effective against E. testudinaria. The results also showed that mortality rates of adults and nymphs were significantly increased with days after application and concentration of TiO2 nano-particles with 41.15% and 43.08% mortality, respectively at 100 mg/L after 7 days from treatment. Results indicated that TiO2 nano-particles can be used as a valuable way in pest management of E. integriceps to reduce the indiscriminate use of conventional pesticides.

  • Morphological Diagnosis of Sunn Pest, Eurygaster Integriceps (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) Parasitized by Hexamermis Eurygasteri (Nematoda: Mermithidae)
    Tr. Doğa ve Fen Derg. − Tr. J. Nature Sci. 2017 Vol. 6 No. 1 Morphological diagnosis of Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) parasitized by Hexamermis eurygasteri (Nematoda: Mermithidae) Gülcan TARLA*1, Şener TARLA 1, Mahmut İSLAMOĞLU 1 Abstract Hexamermis eurygasteri Tarla, Poinar and Tarla (Nematoda: Mermithidae) is an important natural enemy of Sunn pest (SP), Eurygaster integriceps Put. (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) in overwintering areas. Adults of this pest become inactive during hibernation and aestivation about nine months in overwintering areas. These areas are very important for biological control of this pest. Because the overwintering adults with entomoparasitic nematodes can be easily collected from there and they can be sent to uninfected overwintering areas for inoculation. The success of this method depends on the morphological diagnosis of individuals infected with mermithids. It is necessary recognizing the individuals that infected with nematodes collected from overwintering areas to be used as biological control agent for the pest management. As a result of the studies carried out for this purpose, it was determined that the bodies of parasitized SP individuals have a wet and greasy appearance. The movement of infected SP is slowed when near nematodes leaving from the host body. Insect head extends forward, the neck is prolonged and nematodes are usually left the body from the cervix. Before leaving from the hosts, the mean distance between the head at eye level and the thorax was measured as 419.4 ± 117.30 μm (n = 11).

  • Chemical Analysis of the Metathoracic Scent Gland of Eurygaster Maura (L.) (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae)
    J. Agr. Sci. Tech. (2019) Vol. 21(6): 1473-1484 Chemical Analysis of the Metathoracic Scent Gland of Eurygaster maura (L.) (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) E. Ogur1, and C. Tuncer2 ABSTRACT Eurygaster maura (L.) (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) is one of the most devastating pests of wheat in Turkey. The metathoracic scent gland secretions of male and female E. maura were analyzed separately by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Twelve chemical compounds, namely, Octane, n-Undecane, n-Dodecane, n-Tridecane, (E)-2-Hexenal , (E)- 2-Hexen-1-ol, acetate, Cyclopropane, 1-ethyl-2-heptyl, Hexadecane, (E)-3-Octen-1-ol, acetate, (E)-5-Decen-1-ol, acetate, 2-Hexenoic acid, Butyric acid, and Tridecyl ester were detected in both males and females. These compounds, however, differed quantitatively between the sexes. In both females and males, n-Tridecane and (E)-2-Hexanal were the most abundant compounds and constituted approximately 90% of the total content. Minimal amounts of Octane were detected in males and Hexadecane in females. Keywords: (E)-2-Hexenal, GC-MS, Metathoracic scent gland, n-Tridecane, Wheat. INTRODUCTION 100% in the absence of control measures (Lodos, 1986; Özbek and Hayat, 2003). Eurygaster species (Heteroptera: In the order Heteroptera, nearly all species Scutelleridae) are the most devastating pests have scent glands and many of these are of wheat in an extensive area of the Near colloquially referred to as “stink bugs” and Middle East, Western and Central Asia, (Aldrich, 1988).

  • Towards Classical Biological Control of Leek Moth
    ____________________________________________________________________________ Ateyyat This project seeks to provide greater coherence for the biocontrol knowledge system for regulators and researchers; create an open access information source for biocontrol re- search of agricultural pests in California, which will stimulate greater international knowl- edge sharing about agricultural pests in Mediterranean climates; and facilitate the exchange of information through a cyberinfrastructure among government regulators, and biocontrol entomologists and practitioners. It seeks broader impacts through: the uploading of previ- ously unavailable data being made openly accessible; the stimulation of greater interaction between the biological control regulation, research, and practitioner community in selected Mediterranean regions; the provision of more coherent and useful information to enhance regulatory decisions by public agency scientists; a partnership with the IOBC to facilitate international data sharing; and progress toward the ultimate goal of increasing the viability of biocontrol as a reduced risk pest control strategy.
