RESUMENSe revisan las especies de crisópidos presentes en la fauna de la Península Ibérica e Islas Baleares donde, hasta la fecha, están representadas por 50 especies pertenecientes a 13 géneros. Tras una diagnosis de la familia y citar algunos elementos sobre su historial paleontológico y su distribución, se aportan algunos datos generales sobre su morfología y su biología, sus estadios juveniles y comportamiento, y se comenta una breve introducción sobre la historia en el conocimiento de la familia, y en particular en la Península Ibérica y Baleares. Se anotan algunas correcciones en las fechas de publicación de algunos taxa que afectan a la taxonomía, y por ello se propone a Rexa almerai (Navás, 1919) n. comb. como sinónima anterior de Rexa lordina Navás, 1920 n. syn. Se incluye una lista de las especies pertenecientes a la fauna de la Península Ibérica y Baleares, una clave de identificación de los imagos de las subfamilias, géneros y especies citadas, y una clave de sus larvas a nivel genérico. De cada una de estas especies se recopilan y se anotan todas las referencias bibliográficas existentes desde 1972, relativas a las especies de la zona estudiada, tanto con la denominación actualmente aceptada, como de sus sinonimias y/o cualquier otra combinación nomenclatural bajo las cuales han sido citadas. También de cada una de las especies se anotan los datos conocidos y los ahora aportados (299 nuevos ejemplares de 25 especies) sobre su distribución general, aspectos de su morfología externa y/o genital, así como de su variabilidad, estadios juveniles, biología, fenología y distribución altitudinal y geográfica en la península y archipiélago balear, en base a un total de 20.667 ejemplares estudiados.http://lsid:zoobank.org:pub:DAF40D47-BB5B-444B-9A3C-463BBB4F5382Palabras clave: Insecta; Neuroptera; Chrysopidae; Revisión; Taxonomía; Faunística; Morfología; Península Ibérica; Islas Baleares; España; Portugal. SUMMARY Green-lacewings (Insecta, Neuropterida, Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) of the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic IslandsThe present contribution reviews the green lacewing fauna of the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands where, to date, 50 species belonging to 13 genera are known to occur. After a diagnosis of the family Chrysopidae, its paleontological history and distribution, as well as some general data on its morphology and biology, juvenile stages and behavior are presented. This general information is followed by a brief history of studies on the family, and particularly those on the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Some corrections are reported for earlier publications dates that have undergone taxonomical changes. Thus, Rexa almerai (Navás, 1919) n. comb. is proposed as junior synonym of Rexa lordina Navás, 1920 n. syn.; and is included in the list of chrysopid species belonging to the fauna of the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. A key for identifying imagoes of the subfamilies, genera, and species recorded from the region and a generic level key for the larvae are presented. For th...

“…Several studies have reported on the attractive effect of aphid sex pheromone components (enantiomers of nepetalactol and nepetalactone) to green lacewings; e.g., Chrysopa, Peyerimhoffina and Nineta species (Boo et al 1998Hooper et al 2002;Koczor et al 2010;Weihrauch 2006;Zhang et al 2004Zhang et al , 2006aZhu et al 2005). Hence, from a practical point of view, the combination of aphid sex pheromone compounds and the ternary floral bait could yield benefits by attracting a wider range of predatory insects.…”

Aphid Sex Pheromone Compounds Interfere with Attraction of Common Green Lacewings to Floral Bait

Common green lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea complex) form a group of generalist predators important for biological control. Several reports show attraction of these insects to plant volatiles, and a highly attractive ternary compound floral bait has been developed. With aphids being a preferred prey of larvae, one might expect these lacewings to be attracted to aphid semiochemicals, for instance, to aphid sex pheromones, as found for several other green lacewing species. However, in a previous study, we found that traps containing aphid sex pheromone compounds (1R,4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactol (NEPOH), (4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactone (NEPONE), and a ternary floral bait attracted fewer individuals than those containing the ternary floral bait alone. In the present study, possible causes for this effect of NEPOH and NEPONE on trap capture were studied. We established that C. carnea complex catches in traps with a ternary floral lure were not influenced by the presence of Chrysopa formosa individuals in traps (attracted by NEPOH and NEPONE) or by synthetic skatole (a characteristic component of Chrysopa defense secretion). A direct negative effect of NEPOH and NEPONE on attraction of C. carnea complex was found, suggesting active avoidance of these aphid sex pheromone components. This finding is surprising as the larvae of these lacewings prey preferentially on aphids. Possible mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are discussed.

“…A ternary bait comprising synthetic floral compounds was also developed, which showed higher attractiveness to C. carnea-complex adults than previously published attractants (Tóth et al 2009). Unlike several other green lacewing attractants, the ternary floral bait attracted females as well (Tóth et al 2009;Koczor et al 2010). Furthermore, it was found that females laid their eggs on baited traps (Tóth et al 2009;Jaastad et al 2010) and in the vicinity of the baits (Koczor et al 2015).…”

Smells good, feels good: oviposition of Chrysoperla carnea-complex lacewings can be concentrated locally in the field with a combination of appropriate olfactory and tactile stimuli

Larvae of common green lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea species-complex) are important generalist predators, and can serve as valuable biological control agents. Since only larvae are predatory, oviposition is of crucial importance. Recently, a ternary floral bait was described, attractive to females that would then lay their eggs in the vicinity of the baits. Earlier studies have shown that females prefer to lay their eggs on spines and hairs of plants. In the present study, we tested whether the number of eggs laid could be increased by combining chemical, visual and tactile stimuli. Common green lacewings were caught equally well in baited funnel traps covered with white, yellow, fluorescent yellow, light blue or black sheets, showing no preference to any of the colours. In further tests the field effect of the ternary floral bait on the oviposition site choice of common green lacewings was confirmed, as in the absence of the bait only negligible numbers of eggs were recorded on egg-laying plates. In the presence of the ternary floral bait, lacewings laid more eggs on spiny than on smooth surfaces. Removal of previously laid eggs did not affect the number of eggs laid afterwards. Our studies demonstrated that by combining the ternary floral bait and an appropriate spiny surface, oviposition of common green lacewings can be increased and concentrated to a relatively small area. Possible practical applications are discussed.Keywords Common green lacewings Á Ternary floral bait Á Oviposition Á Spiny surface Á Colour preference Á Chrysopidae Key message -Common green lacewings are among the most important predatory species in biological pest management, since their larvae are effective, generalist predators, thus from the applied point of view, site of oviposition is of crucial importance. -Based on our findings, with combination of appropriate olfactory and surface stimuli, oviposition can be concentrated to a chosen site, where after hatching larvae will prey in the vicinity.
