A New Species of Parasitoid Wasp Euderus (Eulophidae Chalcidoidea Hymenoptera) from Uttarakhand, India on Dainha Shoot Weevil

Madras Agricultural Journal, 2014
A new species of the eulophid genus Euderus Haliday (Euderus pantnagarensis sp.nov) was described from Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India. It was reared from the stem galls induced by shoot weevil, Alcidodes bubo Fabricius (Coleoptera Curculionidae) on ...

Biology, ecology and dynamics of Deborrea malgassa (Heylarts 1884) (Lepidoptera: Psychidae), the main threat to apple Malus domestica Borkh growing in Madagascar

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Bioecology parameters of the endemic Psychidae Deborrea malgassa, the main pest of apple trees in Madagascar. Spatiotemporal dynamics of Deborrea malgassa, with a peak infestation between May and August. Proposed targeted prophylaxis techniques associated with other agroecological principles will be key to reducing the vulnerability of apple orchards ...

Adaptive evidence of mitochondrial genes in Pteromalidae and Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea).

PLoS ONE, 2023
Pteromalidae and Eulophidae are predominant and abundant taxa within Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera: Apocrita). These taxa are found in diverse ecosystems, ranging from basin deserts (200 m) to alpine grasslands (4500 m).

The Importance of the Larval Parasitoid Actia interrupta (Diptera: Tachinidae) in Low Density Eastern Spruce Budworm Populations

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Actia interrupta is an important larval tachinid parasitoid during low‐density populations of the eastern spruce budworm. In the late 1980s during the outbreak collapse, Meteorus trachynotus was initially the most important species, but was replaced by A. interrupta. Host patch size and density had no impact on the parasitism rates by A.

Life‐History Traits and Overwintering of Actia interrupta (Diptera: Tachinidae), a Larval Parasitoid of Choristoneura fumiferana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Actia interrupta is a larval tachinid parasitoid that plays a key role in regulating low‐density populations of the eastern spruce budworm. We describe its immature stages, life‐history traits, host‐searching behavior, development, and confirm its larviparous reproductive strategy.

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.

Mitochondrial genome of Tamarixia radiata (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Eulophidae) and phylogenetic analysis

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Tamarixia radiata plays an important role in biological control of the psyllid Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, vector of the huanglongbing (HLB). In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of T.

Biology of the Gall Midge Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), a Candidate Biological Control Agent of the Invasive Grass Cortaderia selloana

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) infests Cortaderia selloana (pampas grass). It lays eggs in the spikelets, where larvae feed on female parts. The high prevalence of the midge and its combined impact in seed production, condition and viability strongly reduces the reproductive output of C. selloana.

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 ...
