Fax: 46462224541; [email protected] 2 Escuela de Biología, Universidad de Costa Rica, 2060 San José, Costa Rica; [email protected] Received 03-X-2000. Corrected 16-IV-2001. Accepted 18-VI-2001. Abstract: A new and morphologically very distinct species of Pediobius from Costa Rica is described. The new species (P. nishidai) is unique among New World species of Pediobius in having the propodeum elongated and extended backwards (i.e. with an elongated nucha). The entire type series (15 females, two males) was reared from a single prepupa of Epilachna mexicana and it has been concluded that the new Pediobius species is a gre- garious endoparasitoid that pupates inside its host. The possible use of this new species as a biological control agent against “the Mexican bean beetle” (E. varivestis) should be tested. Key words: Entedoninae, Pediobius nishidai sp. n., taxonomy, parasitoid, Epilachna mexicana. The genus Pediobius Walker is a large and (Waterston) from E. similis (Kerrich 1973) and cosmopolitan group, with the majority of P. foveolatus (Crawford) from several host species occuring in the northern temperate species, e.g. E. varivestis Mulsant (the regions. Relatively few species have been Mexican bean beetle) (Peck 1985). The former recorded from the Neotropical region, where species has an African origin and the latter Pediobius is thought to be largely replaced by originates from Asia and Australia (Kerrich Horismenus Walker (Boucek 1988).

Abstract: This is the first report of two ectoparasitoid wasps, Elachertus inunctus (Nees, 1834) in Iran and Elachertus pulcher (Erdös, 1961) (Hym.: Eulophidae) in the world, that parasitize larvae of the tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lep.: Gelechiidae). The specimens were collected from tomato fields and greenhouses in Ahwaz, Khouzestan province (south west of Iran). Both species are new records for fauna of Iran. The knowledge about these parasitoids is still scanty. The potential of these parasitoids for biological control of T. absoluta in tomato fields and greenhouses should be investigated.

  • Sex Allocation and Clutch Size in Parasitoid Wasps That Produce Single-Sex Broods
    ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 1999, 57, 265–275 Article No. anbe.1998.0958, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on ARTICLES Sex allocation and clutch size in parasitoid wasps that produce single-sex broods S. A. WEST, K. E. FLANAGAN & H. C. J. GODFRAY Department of Biology & NERC Centre for Population Biology, Imperial College at Silwood Park (Received 12 March 1998; initial acceptance 1 May 1998; final acceptance 8 August 1998; MS. number: 5825) The parasitoid wasp genus Achrysocharoides (Eulophidae) is unusual in that many of its species lay male and female eggs in single-sex clutches. The average clutch size of female broods is always greater than that of male broods, and in some species male clutch size is always one. We constructed models that predicted that severely egg-limited wasps should produce equal numbers of male and female eggs while severely host-limited wasps should produce equal numbers of male and female broods (and hence an overall female-biased sex ratio). Theory is developed to predict clutch size and sex ratio across the complete spectrum of host and egg limitation. A comparison of 19 surveys of clutch composition in seven species of Achrysocharoides showed a general pattern of equal numbers of male and female broods with a female-biased sex ratio (suggesting host limitation) although with considerable heterogeneity amongst collections and with a number of cases of unexpectedly low frequencies of male broods. Using a previous estimate of the relationship between fitness and size in the field, we predicted the maximally productive (Lack) clutch size for female broods of Achrysocharoides zwoelferi to be three.

  • Insectos Del Manzano En Venezuela
    Revista Agricultura Andina, Vol. 5, 39-57, 1990 INSECTOS DEL MANZANO EN VENEZUELA Armando Brlceño· RESUMEN Se presenta una lista de los insectos del manzano, encontrados en Venezuela y países vecinos. Se hace una breve descripción de los insectos más comunes en el cultivo, tipo de daño y posible control. Los insectos más importantes son los áfidos: Aphis citrícola Van der Goot, transmisor de virosis; el coquito cogollero del manzano: Brachypnoea exilis grita Bechyne principal defoliador de los cogollos y una especie, aún no identificada que barrena los troncos y ramas de esta rosácea, considerado plaga potencial de este cultivo. ABSTRACT A check list of insects found on apple trees from Venezuela and its neighbouring Countries is given with a brief description of the most common insects found, type of damage and possible control methods. The most important insect pests are: Aphis citrícola Van der Goot, vector of virus diseases; the apple leaf beetle Brachypnoea exilis grita Bechyne, the principal defoliator ofthe bud tips; and one species, not identifid that bores both tnink and branches of this Rosaceae being considered a potential pest of apple trees. INTRODUCCION El cultivo del manzano (Malus sp.) representa un renglón relativamente nuevo para Venezuela ya que esta planta es de clima templado y es ahora cuando se comienza a introducir ya no corno planta de jardín sino corno frutal extensivo. La casi totalidad de la producción de frutos que se consumen son importados de Norteamérica, de Europa o de los países del Cono Sur, Argentina y Chile: Debido a la subida del dólar, la importación de este renglón se ha restringido al máximo y se ha pensado que una solución sería introducir variedades de este cultivo que se adapten ecológicamente • Profesor Titular, Instituto de Investigaciones Agropecuarias, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales, Universidad de Los Andes.

Among the recovered indigenous natural enemies, only becoming a serious agricultural threat to tomato production few parasitoid species, namely, some eulophid and braconid in both protected and open-field crops. Among the pest wasps, and especially mirid predators, have promising control tactics against exotic pests, biological control using potential to be included in effective and environmentally indigenous natural enemies is one of the most promising. friendly management strategies for the pest in the newly Here, available data on the Afro-Eurasian natural enemies invaded areas.
