Molecular phylogeny of the green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)

Australian Journal of Entomology, 2006
Abstract  The first quantitative analysis of phylogenetic relationships of green lacewings (Chrysopidae) is presented based on DNA sequence data. A single nuclear and two mitochondrial genes are used in the analysis: carbomoylphosphate synthase (CPS) domain of carbamoyl‐phosphate synthetase‐aspartate transcarbamoylase‐dihydroorotase (CAD) (i.e ...

An Unlikely Silk: The Composite Material of Green Lacewing Cocoons

Biomacromolecules, 2008
Spiders routinely produce multiple types of silk; however, common wisdom has held that insect species produce one type of silk each. This work reports that the green lacewing ( Mallada signata, Neuroptera) produces two distinct classes of silk. We identified and sequenced the gene that encodes the major protein component of the larval lacewing cocoon ...

Stridulatory structures in three green lacewings (Neuroptera : Chrysopidae)

International Journal of Insect Morphology and Embryology, 1987
Abstract The stridulatory structures that occur in Meleoma Fitch, Brinckochrysa Tjeder and Chrysocerca Weele (Neuroptera : Chrysopidae) have been examined for the first time, using scanning electron microscopy. The structures are made up of rows of tubercles, formed by modified microtrichia and setae or sclerotized plates, situated laterally on the ...

The escape strategy of green lacewings from orb webs

Journal of Insect Behavior, 1990
When green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) fly into spider orb webs, they often simply reverse their flight direction and pull away (Table I). If a lacewing is trapped, it uses a specialized escape behavior. It first cuts away the sticky strands entangling head, feet, and antennae. If an antenna cannot be freed by tugging, it uses an “antenna climb”

Structure of the subgenual organ in the green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea

Tissue and Cell, 1994
REM and TEM studies of the subgenual organ in Chrysoperla carnea (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) show that it is composed of three scolopidia, each with one sensory, one scolopale and one cap cell. The distal part of the dendrite shows a cilium with a '9 + 0' structure.

Effects of Mechanical Handling on Green Lacewing Larvae (Chrysoperla Rufilabris)

Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 1995
Lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla rufilabris), used for biological control of insect pests, are typically released by hand for treatment of small-scale ornamental and fruit crops. This study investigated the potential for mechanical release of larvae. Second instar larvae were mixed into vermiculite and rice hull carriers and subjected to vibrational and ...

Green Lacewing (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae: Chrysoperla) Attraction to Yeast

2018
Green lacewings (Chrysopidae ; ~1200 species), especially Chrysopa and Chrysoperla species whose larvae are predators of aphids, are invaluable biological control agents. In the green lacewing genus, Chrysopa, adults are also predacious, and these are the only lacewings known to produce aggregation pheromones.

Green lacewing phylogeny, based on three nuclear genes (Chrysopidae, Neuroptera)

Systematic Entomology, 2008
Abstract Systematic relationships among higher taxa within Chrysopidae, a large and agriculturally significant neuropteran family, are poorly understood. A molecular phylogenetic survey of Chrysopidae was performed with three nuclear genes, namely wingless (546 bp),

Evolution of green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae): an anchored phylogenomics approach

Systematic Entomology, 2019
Abstract A phylogeny of green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) using anchored hybrid enrichment data is presented. Using this phylogenomic approach, we analysed 137 kb of sequence data (with < 10% missing) for 82 species in 50 genera of Chrysopidae under Bayesian and maximum likelihood criteria. We recovered
