A new species of Trisecodes from the Afrotropics (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae)  [PDF]

Zootaxa, 2014
The first Afrotropical species of Trisecodes Delvare & LaSalle, 2000, T. africanum Gumovsky, sp. n., is described from localities in Uganda, Guinea and Cameroon. The new species differs from the type species of the genus, T. agromyzae, which was described from the Neotropical region in Belize, mostly by having longitudinally strigate sculpture on ...

A Systematic Map to Identify Knowledge Gaps on a Vector of Citrus Greening Diseases: The African Citrus Triozid, Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio, 1918) (Hemiptera: Triozidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, citrus production areas are threatened by greening diseases, also known as Huánglóngbíng (HLB), associated with phloem‐limited gram‐negative species of the genus Candidatus Liberibacter. Those pathogens are transmitted by either the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), or the African citrus ...

Accuracy of occurrence and abundance estimates from insect metabarcoding

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2343-2363, August 2026.
Abstract DNA metabarcoding—high‐throughput sequencing of barcode regions from bulk samples—has become a key tool for insect biodiversity assessment. Yet, how methodological choices affect the accuracy of metabarcoding data remains insufficiently explored. In this paper, we ask: (1) How does the lysis method (non‐destructive lysis vs.

Quadrastichus mendeli (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) parasitizing Leptocybe invasa (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) on Eucalyptus spp. Seedlings

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Abstract Galls by Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) reduce the productivity of Eucalyptus spp. plantations and Quadrastichus mendeli Kim & La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) parasitizes this pest. This study aimed to evaluate, under laboratory conditions, two biological control strategies against Leptocybe invasa ...

Laboratory Biology, Immature and Adult Morphology of Trichopria drosophilae (Perkins) (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae), Parasitoids of Drosophila Flies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 863-875, August 2026.
This study investigates the laboratory biology and morphology of the parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae, which targets Drosophila flies, including the invasive Drosophila suzukii. Key findings include a detailed description of the parasitoid's egg, three larval instars, and pupal stage, as well as unique behaviors such as siblicide and encapsulation in ...

A new pest recorded in Italy: The South African citrus thrips, Scirtothrips aurantii (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 56, Issue 2, Page 309-316, August 2026.
Abstract The South African citrus thrips, Scirtothrips aurantii Faure, 1929, has been recorded in Italy for the first time. This species was recently reported in Spain and Portugal. Its presence has been confirmed in the major citrus‐growing area of Catania province (Sicily), infesting citrus trees. S. aurantii is currently included in the EPPO A1 List

Faunistic composition and seasonal occurrence of parasitoid and predatory wasps in maize intercropped with beans

Journal of Ecology and Environment
Background: Lepidopteran caterpillars attack maize plants, and the main control methods involve the application of phytosanitary products, which is disadvantageous from an ecological point of view.

Sex Ratios Within the Quasi‐Social Parasitoid Genus Sclerodermus

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Sex ratios are an important component of parasitoid wasps' reproductive strategies and seem to be generally well described by evolutionary ecological theory, such as local mate competition (LMC). The sex ratios of several Sclerodermus species do not fit the predictions of standard LMC models, as their sex ratios remain strongly female biased ...
