Neotropical Entomology 36(1): 001-004 (2007) Aspectos Biológicos de Autoplusia egena (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae, Plusiinae) RESUMO -Autoplusia egena (Guenée) é uma mariposa distribuída em todo continente americano. Suas lagartas alimentam-se de plantas pertencentes a diversas famílias incluindo cultivos de grande importância como soja e feijão. Objetivando contribuir para o conhecimento da sua biologia em laboratório, considerando duração e morfometria de cada fase de desenvolvimento, foi realizada uma criação laboratorial a 25 ± 1°C, 70 ± 10% UR e 14h de fotofase. As lagartas foram alimentadas com folhas de feijão-preto e os adultos com solução de mel a 10%. Os resultados expressos pela média (± EP) para os períodos de cada estágio, em dias, foram: ovo 3,0 ± 0,00; lagarta 15,7 ± 1,25; pré-pupa 1,9 ± 0,05; pupa 8,8 ± 0,09 e adulta: longevidade 12,1 ± 0,95, pré-oviposição 5,4 ± 0,50, oviposição 6,3 ± 1,10 e pós-oviposição 1,4 ± 0,87. As lagartas passaram por cinco ínstares cujos valores médios das larguras das cápsulas cefálicas, em mm foram 0,302 ± 0,001; 0,500 ± 0,003; 0,854 ± 0,008; 1,424 ± 0,011 e 2,744 ± 0,053. As pupas apresentaram comprimento, largura e peso médio de 16,965 ± 0,003 mm, 4,674 ± 0,040 mm e 0,217 ± 0,003 g, respectivamente.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Desenvolvimento, inseto, morfometria, Phaseolus vulgaris, falsa-medideira ABSTRACT -Autoplusia egena (Guenée) is a moth distributed throughout the Western hemisphere. The larvae have already been found feeding on several different plant families, including important crops such soybeans and beans. To contribute to the knowledge of its biology in laboratory conditions, and considering the duration and the morphometry of each development stage, a laboratorial rearing was accomplished at 25 ± 1°C, 70 ± 10% RH and 14h photophase. The larvae were fed with black bean leaves and the adults were fed with a honey solution at 10%. The results, expressed by the mean (± SE), for the periods of each stage were: egg 3.0 ± 0.00 d; larva 15.7 ± 1.25 d; pre-pupa 1.9 ± 0.05 d; pupa 8.8 ± 0.09 d and adult: longevity 12.1 ± 0.95 d, pre-oviposition 5.4 ± 0.50 d, oviposition 6.3 ± 1.10 d and post-oviposition 1.4 ± 0.87 d. The larvae went through fi ve instars, for which the mean width of the cephalic capsules were 0.302 ± 0.001 mm; 0.500 ± 0.003 mm; 0.854 ± 0.008 mm; 1.424 ± 0.011 mm and 2.744 ± 0.053 mm. The average length, width, and weight of the pupae were 16.965 ± 0.003 mm, 4.674 ± 0.040 mm and 0.217 ± 0.003 g, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
