Parasitic behavior and developmental morphology of Mesocomys trabalae (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae), a promising parasitoid of the Japanese giant silkworm Caligula japonica (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology
Abstract The egg parasitoid Mesocomys trabalae Yao, Yang, and Zhao is used as a biocontrol agent against the emerging defoliator pest Caligula japonica Moore in East Asia. It has been proven that the eggs of Antheraea pernyi Guérin-Méneville can be used as a factitious host for the mass production of M. trabalae.

Functional response of two Mesocomys species on factitious host Antheraea pernyi and their biocontrol potential against the Japanese giant silkworm Caligula japonica

Pest Management Science
AbstractBACKGROUNDThe Japanese giant silkworm (JGS) Caligula japonica is a significant defoliator pest in East Asia, causing severe economic losses in forest and fruit production. To establish a cost‐effective biological control program against JGS, the age‐stage, two‐sex life table method was used to accurately assess the potential efficacy of two ...

Identification of morphologically similar genera based on reproductive systems and immature stages: a case study of Anastatus and Mesocomys (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae)

Insect Systematics and Diversity
Abstract Parallel or convergent evolution may result in phenotypically closely similar species. Many studies have reported that using solely traditional external morphological features can result in misidentification. Here, we discuss using the reproductive systems and immature developmental stages for scientific classification in ...
