“…The present field survey was conducted over three years to identify native natural enemies (egg parasitoids and predators) that could potentially be used for the biological control of the invasive H. halys population in northern Italy. Similar to studies conducted in Switzerland (Haye, Fischer, et al, ), overall, the parasitization (1.3%) and predation (2.9%) of eggs were low over all the years. In contrast, in Maryland (US), egg parasitism by native parasitoids contributed most to egg mortality, occasionally exceeding 35% (Jones et al, ).…”

“…Besides the low impact of egg parasitoids, the species richness was extremely poor, with A. bifasciatus being the only species to emerge from sentinel eggs. This species had also been reared previously from sentinel eggs exposed in Switzerland and in the Tuscany region of Italy (Haye, Fischer, et al, ; Roversi et al, ). In the later region, frozen sentinel eggs exposed in July and August were also parasitized by Ooencyrtus telenomicida (Vassiliev) (Hymenoptera, Encyrtidae).…”

The invasive Halyomorpha halys (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) is a key pest of fruits in the Emilia‐Romagna region of Italy. For the development of a sustainable management programme, knowledge of its native natural enemy community and its efficacy is essential. A three‐year field survey was conducted exposing H. halys egg masses in different types of habitats to investigate the efficacy of native natural enemies in reducing the H. halys populations in the Emilia‐Romagna region, where the stinkbug was first detected in 2012. Over the first year of the study, sentinel eggs from laboratory cultures were stapled to the underside of leaves in various host trees, whereas in following years H. halys adults were directly caged on branches in sleeve cages to allow natural oviposition. Over the examined years, low rates of parasitism (1%–3%) and predation (2%–5%) were observed. Parasitism was caused exclusively by the generalist parasitoid Anastatus bifasciatus.

“…The follow-up exposure experiments are necessary because freezing BMSB eggs prior to field deployment likely disrupts their defense mechanisms and may make them easier for nonspecialist egg parasitoids to parasitize. Similar experiments were conducted by Haye et al (2015) in Europe with BMSB and native egg parasitoids there.…”

B rown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), has a native range that includes China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Its host plant range extends to more than 170 species, among which are valuable ornamentals and agricultural fruit, nut and vegetable crops (Lee et al. 2013;Rice et al. 2014). BMSB can cause direct injury to crops while using its piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed. Characterization of feeding injury to marketable crops such as surface discoloration, depressed areas, deformation or abortion of fruit bodies and internal tissue damage can vary by crop (Rice et al. 2014). BMSB was first detected in the United States in 1996 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Since then, BMSB has been detected in 42 U.S. states, with establishment (reproduction) confirmed in at least 26 states where nuisance and/or agricultural problems associated with its presence and ensuing economic losses to crops have been reported (NIPMC 2015).Crop losses from BMSB and aggregations in human-made structures have been significant in the eastern United States, where BMSB first established (Rice et al. 2014). The establishment of BMSB in this region confirms its tolerance to climates outside of its home range. Field and laboratory research is needed to characterize the degree to which BMSB can tolerate temperature stresses (i.e., winter cold and summer heat) and how this may influence population dynamics in other geographic locations within the United States (Cira et al. 2016). In addition, the invasion process of BMSB in the United Online: http://californiaagriculture.ucanr.edu/ landingpage.cfm?article=ca.v070n01p15&fulltext=yes doi: 10.3733/ca.v070n01p15Mike Lewis BMSB adult feeding on kumquat fruit. In California, BMSB populations are found mainly in urban locales, but there is risk they will move into agricultural areas.

“…In Europe, native scelionid species typically associated with other pentatomids attempt to attack H. halys eggs, but are unable to complete development (Haye et al, 2015). This polyphagous, solitary species has been reared from sentinel and natural field-collected H. halys eggs in several European countries (Haye et al, 2015;Costi et al, 2019) and is currently being tested as a biocontrol agent in the field in Switzerland and Italy. In contrast, another European egg parasitoid, Anastatus bifasciatus Geoffroy (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae), is the species most commonly found parasitizing H. halys eggs, and can complete its development on live H. halys eggs.…”

Globally, Anastatus species (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae) are associated with the invasive agricultural pest Halyomorpha halys (St al) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). In Europe, the polyphagous Anastatus bifasciatus (Geoffroy) is the most prevalent native egg parasitoid on H. halys eggs and is currently being tested as a candidate for augmentative biological control. Anastatus bifasciatus frequently displays behavior without oviposition, and induces additional host mortality through oviposition damage and host feeding that is not measured with offspring emergence. This exacerbates accurate assessment of parasitism and host impact, which is crucial for efficacy evaluation as well as for preand post-release risk assessment. To address this, a general Anastatus primer set amplifying a 318-bp fragment within the barcoding region of the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene was developed. When challenged with DNA of three Anastatus species -A. bifasciatus, Anastatus japonicus Ashmead, and Anastatus sp.-, five scelionid parasitoid species that might be encountered in the same host environments and 11 pentatomid host species, only Anastatus DNA was successfully amplified. When applied to eggs of the target host, H. halys, and an exemplary non-target host, Dendrolimus pini L. (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae), subjected to host feeding, no Anastatus amplicons were produced. Eggs of the two host species containing A. bifasciatus parasitoid stages, from 1-h-old eggs to pupae, and emerged eggs yielded Anastatus fragments. Confirmation of parasitoid presence with dissections and subsequent PCRs with the developed primer pair resulted in 95% success for 1-h-old parasitoid eggs. For both host species, field-exposed sentinel emerged eggs stored dry for 6 months, 100% of the specimens produced Anastatus amplicons. This DNA-based screening method can be used in combination with conventional methods to better interpret host-parasitoid and parasitoid-parasitoid interactions. It will help address ecological questions related to an environmentally friendly approach for the control of H. halys in invaded areas.
