Ruolo dei parassitoidi oofagi nel controllo naturale dei fitofagi del nocciolo responsabili del “cimiciato delle nocciole” nel Parco dei Nebrodi (ME).
2009
Role of oophagous parasitoids in the natural control of hazelnut bugs inducing the “cimiciato seeds” in Nebrodi Park (ME) Oophagous parasitoids of bugs collected on hazelnut cultivations and seasonal parasitism on eggs of Gonocerus acutengulatus (Goeze) were studied from 2004 to 2006 in the Nebrodi Park (ME). Samples of bug eggs were collected in three altitude areas, 300-590, 600-890 and 900-1100 m above sea level, and examined in laboratory. Parasitoid adults obtained from all eggs were identified. Parasitization levels, detected on G. acuteangulatus in all areas showed a similar trend with the most value on August. Significant regression between the total number of eggs and the number of…
Parasitoids of Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann (Heteroptera: Coreidae) recovered in western North America and first record of its egg parasitoid …

The parasitoid complex of the western conifer seed bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis, was studied in British Columbia and California on Pinus monticola and P. contorta var. latifolia. Three egg-parasitoid species were identified: Gryon pennsylvanicum (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae), Ooencyrtus johnsoni (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) and Anastatus pearsalli (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae). Leptoglossus occidentalis represents a new host record for O. johnsoni, and California is a new distribution record for G. pennsylvanicum. Gryon pennsylvanicum was the dominant species during the entire oviposition period of the bug, reaching peak parasitization levels in July (25%). Ooencyrtus johnsoni and A. pearsalli e…
I parassitoidi di Leptoglossus occidentalis in Sicilia e nel suo areale di origine nordamericano
2011
Sul coreide Leptoglossus occidentalis, cimice delle conifere di origine nordamericana, che in Italia ha fatto registrare un calo della produzione di pinoli di Pinus pinea, si sono finora registrati parassitoidi di ninfe e adulti, e parassitoidi oofagi. Al primo gruppo appartengono i Diptera Tachinidae: negli USA e in Canada è stata riscontrata Trichopoda pennipes, mentre nell’Italia centro-settentrionale pochi adulti sono stati parassitizzati da Ectophasia crassipennis e da tachinidi ancora non identificati. Tra i parassitoidi oofagi in Canada erano stati finora segnalati il Platygastridae Gryon pennsylvanicum, l’Eupelmidae Anastatus pearsalli e l'Encyrtidae Ooencyrtus sp.; nell’Italia cent…
