“…This result has a positive implication for the combined use of the bean flour and the biological agent. It is consistent with studies of other beneficial arthropods, e.g., the application of pea flour on the grain had no effect on parasitoids (Hou et al 2004). The exact mode of action of the bean flour has not been revealed yet.…”

Stored product mites are pests of serious economic and medical importance. Recently, it has been shown that the biological control of these pests based on the use of natural compounds and predators had a high potential for success. In this study, we investigated the suppression of three pest mites by combination of the predator Cheyletus malaccensis Oudemans, 1913 and bean flour (Phaseolus vulgaris), which is an antifeedant. Wheat grain (100 g) was contaminated with 100 individuals (Acarus siro (Linnaeus, 1758), Aleuroglyphus ovatus (Troupeau, 1878) or Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank, 1781)). We added bean flour in concentrations of 0, 1, 5 and 10 g kg -1 (wt/wt) and/or the predator with initial predator/prey ratios 0, 1/50, 1/25 and 1/10. The experiment was carried out under abiotic conditions that are optimal for pest development. After 21 days, pest and predators numbers were recorded. Application of flour significantly reduced populations of A. siro, slightly reduced populations of T. putrescentiae, the efficiency increased with increasing concentration. A. ovatus was not affect by bean flour. Populations of all mite species were successfully reduced by the sole addition of C. malaccensis, with a higher efficiency at higher Cheyletus ratios. The additive effect of the predator and flour was mainly apparent in the reduction of T. putrescientae. The population of C. malaccensis was not affected by the presence of bean flour. It is therefore recommended to use bean flour for the reduction of A. siro, a combination of bean flour and Cheyletus for the reduction of T. putrescientae, and only Cheyletus for the reduction of A. ovatus.

“…Pea flour is not toxic to the parasitoids of stored product insects, and thus can be combined with natural enemies in the control of stored grain pests (Hou et al 2004). For stored product mites, a similar effect was attained by application of bean flour (Phaseolus vulgaris).…”

“…is the most sensitive of the tested insects, followed by Cryptolestes ferrugineus, Tribolium castaneum and Rhyzopertha dominica. This was confirmed by the work of Hou et al (2004), who noted that the wheat treatment with the pea flour enriched with protein, at a concentration of 0.04-0.1%, reduced the Sitophilus oryzae L. population of 26 and 79%, respectively and Cryptolestes ferrugineus of 27 and 43%, respectively. To a concentration of 1%, the death rate of Sitophilus oryzae L. reached 100% for 3 weeks on rice (Pretheep- Kumar et al, 2004).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicity of pea albumin 1 subunit b (PA1b) homologous against granary weevil (Sitophilus granarius L.). Adults of less than 5 days were maintained at 27±0.2°C and 70±5% relative humidity, on bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L. subsp. Aestivum) flour dumplings (control) and on pea flour, chickpea, bean, lentil, broad bean (toxic) during 15 days. The concentrations of used pea flour were 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80%. On PA1b reference: Pea/wheat with 80% pea flour, we have observed on the 3rd day, a mortality rate over 10%. From 7 days there were no survivors. For concentrations of 40 and 60%, the mortality rate was 73 and 93%, respectively; but at 10 and 20% of pea, the rate was low not exceeding the 20% threshold. A significantly positive correlation (R 2 = 0.91) was observed between the concentration of pea flour extract and the mortality rate of Sitophilus granarius L. The linear regression of semi-logarithmic curve is highly significant (p = 0.012, <0.05) and allow to determine the LD 50 of which is 25.63±3.26% or 64.075±8.14 mg. At the maximum concentration of 80% on lentil, bean and broad bean, there was a total mortality of the insect at 7 days; others are less toxic such as pea with 30% and chickpea, whose mortality rate does not exceed the 23% threshold. Furthermore, complete mortality of the insect was observed after 14 days in all grain legumes.

“…While for most Anisopteromalus species hardly anything has been published beside the original description or an occasional host record, A. calandrae is a well‐known, cosmopolitan parasitoid of various stored‐product pests. It has been the subject of numerous studies spanning a wide variety of topics, such as biological control (Hou et al , ; Ngamo et al , ; Ni et al , ; Chaisaeng et al , ), impact of pesticides and herbicides (Perez‐Mendoza et al , ; Lacoume et al , ; Yoon et al , ), life‐history traits (Bressac et al , ; Lebreton et al , , ; Chaisaeng et al , ), behaviour including learning (Ryoo et al , ; Lebreton et al , ; Belda & Riudavets, ; Ishii & Shimada, ) and physiology (Zhu et al , ; Howard & Baker, ). The ISI Web of Science database (Thomson Reuters) cites more than 100 papers in this respect and many of the older works can be retrieved from the Universal Chalcidoidea Database (Noyes, ).…”

We use an integrative taxonomic approach to revise the genus Anisopteromalus. In particular, we apply multivariate ratio analysis (MRA), a rather new statistical method based on principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA), to numerous body measurements and combine the data with those from our molecular analysis of Cytb and ITS2 genetic markers (on a subset of species) and all available published data on morphology, karyology, behaviour, host associations and geographic distribution. We demonstrate that the analysis of quantitative characters using MRA plays a major role for the integration of name-bearing types and thus for the association of taxa with names. Six species are recognized, of which two are new: A. cornis Baur sp.n. and A. quinarius Gokhman & Baur sp.n. For Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard), a well-known, cosmopolitan parasitoid of stored-product pests, we have selected a neotype to foster continuity and stability in the application of this important name. The species was sometimes confused with the related A. quinarius sp.n., another cosmopolitan species that is frequently encountered in similar environments. We also show that several species originally described or later put under Anisopteromalus actually belong to different genera: Cyrtoptyx camerunus (Risbec) comb.n.; Meraporus glaber (Szelényi) comb.n.; Dinarmus schwenkei (Roomi, Khan & Khan) comb.n. Neocatolaccus indicus Ayyar & Mani is confirmed as a junior synonym of Oxysychus sphenopterae (Ferrière) syn.n. and Anisopteromalus calandrae brasiliensis (Domenichini) stat.rev. must be considered as a valid but doubtful taxon.This published work has been registered in ZooBank, http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:BDFE96D3-D0F4-4012-90F5-9A087F7F5864.
