Dinâmica Populacional e Distribuição Espacial dos Adultos de Spartocera dentiventris (Berg) (Hemiptera: Coreidae) em Nicotiana tabacum L. (Solanaceae)RESUMO -Spartocera dentiventris (Berg), o percevejo-cinzento-do-fumo, devido ao seu hábito alimentar sugador, provoca o enrolamento e a murcha das folhas de fumo, causando prejuízos à cultura. O conhecimento da dinâmica populacional é fundamental para o estabelecimento de técnicas mais eficientes de monitoramento e manejo da praga. Com o objetivo de monitorar a colonização, o estabelecimento, o crescimento e a distribuição espacial da população adulta de S. dentiventris, através do método de marcação e recaptura, um cultivo experimental de fumo (Nicotiana tabacum) foi estabelecido em Porto Alegre, RS. Todas as plantas foram inspecionadas três vezes por semana durante o período de agosto de 1999 a abril de 2000, marcando-se 217 indivíduos. Apenas em uma geração os indivíduos sobreviveram até a fase adulta na área. O tamanho populacional, estimado através do método de Fisher-Ford, apresentou um pico de 160 indivíduos. O recrutamento médio estimado foi 5,0 ± 2,67 fêmeas/dia e 6,6 ± 1,73 machos/dia (z = 0,71; gl = 118; P = 0,477). A maioria dos indivíduos concentrouse na região superior da planta e na face abaxial das folhas. Análise realizada por grupo de seis plantas revelou um padrão agregado de distribuição espacial em 78,4% das ocasiões de amostragem. Os adultos concentraram-se em certos locais da cultura e o tamanho populacional parece ter sido afetado por variações climáticas e predação. Essas observações devem ser consideradas na implementação de medidas de monitoramento e controle da espécie.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Insecta, ecologia populacional, método de marcação, liberação e recaptura ABSTRACT -Spartocera dentiventris (Berg), the gray-tobacco-bug, feeds on the sap of the plant, inducing leaf wilting and twisting, thus causing economic losses to the tobacco crop. The knowledge on its population dynamics is crucial for the development of efficient techniques for monitoring and managing this species. An experimental tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) crop was established in Porto Alegre County, South Brazil, aiming to study the colonization, establishment, growth and spatial distribution of the adult S. dentiventris population using the mark-release-recapture method. All plants were inspected at least three times a week. From August 1999 to April 2000, 217 individuals were marked. Only one generation completed development up to the adult phase. Population size estimated by the Fisher-Ford method peaked at ca. 160 individuals. Average recruitment was 5.0 ± 2.67 females per day and 6.6 ± 1.73 males per day (z = 0.71; df = 118; P = 0.477). Most individuals concentrated in the upper part of the plant and on the abaxial face of leaves. Analysis performed in groups of six plants revealed an aggregated pattern of distribution in 78.4% of sampling occasions. Individuals concentrated in certain areas of the crop and the population size seemed to be highly susceptible to weather var...

“…Information on the food plant preferences of coreids is of central importance for pest management and for the establishment of phylogenetic relationships (Schaefer and Mitchell, 1983). However, records of host plant associations are extremely scarce for the vast majority of phytophagous insects in Brazil, being mainly restricted to key species of agricultural interest or vectors of diseases (Flinte et al, 2006).…”

However, these records do not indicate the deposition of herbarium material or provide accurate geo-referenced locations.…”

“…Benezar and Pessoni (2006) reported the presence of Leptoglossus on fruits of B. coccolobifolia Kunth in an Amazonian savanna in Roraima state in the north of Brazil. Leptoglossus cinctus has also been recorded on Psidium guajava L. (Guava) (Myrtaceae) (Allen, 1969;Schaefer and Mitchell, 1983) and tomatoes (Solanaceae) (Mitchell, 2004), indicating their propensity to attack different families of plants of agricultural importance. Given that other Leptoglossus species are already included in the list of cashew pests, a new record of L. cinctus associated with these plants requires further investigation and risk assessment.…”

“…The immature stages of H. clavigera and A. foliacea marginella remain unknown. These coreids use the same host plants as food resources (Passifloraceae) (Solomon & Froeschner 1981;Schaefer & Mitchell 1983), and some individuals were found feeding on both wild (e. g., Passiflora suberosa Linnaeus, 1753) and cultivated species (e. g., Passiflora edulis Sims, 1818) (Lima 1940). Preliminary observations indicate a high coexistence in terms of host plant use and a strong similarity regarding egg and nymphal morphology.…”

ABSTRACT. Comparative description of the immature stages of two very similar leaf footed bugs, Holymenia clavigera (Herbst) and Anisoscelis foliacea marginella (Dallas) (Hemiptera, Coreidae, Anisoscelini). Holymenia clavigera (Herbst, 1784) and Anisoscelis foliacea marginella (Dallas, 1852) (Hemiptera, Coreidae) present a remarkable similarity regarding egg and nymphal morphology. On the contrary, their adult stages are remarkably different. This study describes and compares the immature stages of these two coreid species. Excepting for the last instar and the shape of the hind tibia from third to last instar, nymphs of both species were identical in their gross morphologies and ultrastructures. However, H. clavigera was significantly larger than A. foliacea marginella in all stages. Thus, we suggest that these species may have evolved through evolutionary convergence, parsimony between the immature stages after speciation, Müllerian mimicry or genetic drift. KEYWORDS.Anisoscelini; coreids; immature stages; instar identification; passion vines. RESUMO.Descrição comparada dos estágios imaturos de dois coreídeos, Holymenia clavigera (Herbst) e Anisoscelis foliacea marginella (Dallas) (Hemiptera, Coreidae, Anisoscelini). Holymenia clavigera (Herbst, 1784) e Anisoscelis foliacea marginella (Dallas, 1852) (Hemiptera, Coreidae) apresentam uma acentuada semelhança morfológica nos estágios de ovo e ninfa. Entrementes, os adultos são marcadamente distintos. Este estudo descreve e compara os estágios imaturos destas espécies. Excetuando-se a largura da tíbia do terceiro ao quinto instar ninfal, bem como o aspecto e coloração geral das ninfas de quinto ínstars, as ninfas de ambas as espécies foram idênticas em suas morfologias e ultraestruturas. Contudo, H. clavigera foi significativamente maior que A. foliacea marginella em todos os estágios. Desta forma, os imaturos de tais espécies podem ter evoluído através de convergência evolutiva, parcimônia das referidas fases após especiação, mimetismo mileriano ou deriva genética. PALAVRAS-CHAVE.Anisoscelini; coreídeos; estágios imaturos; identificação de ínstares; maracujás.When compared to other insect orders as Lepidoptera or Coleoptera, hemipterans are not well studied in their physiology, ecology and evolution. However, many phytophagous species were described regarding their immature stages. Several of their host plants, in turn, are cultivated for economic purposes (see Schaefer & Panizzi 2000).The immature stages of some Coreidae (Heteroptera, Pentatomomorpha) have been described, including nearctic species such as Euthochtha galeator (Fabricius, 1803) (Fernandes & Grazia 1992), and Corecoris (=Spartocera) dentiventris Berg, 1884 (Caldas et al. 1998). Some african coreids had their immatures also briefly described (see Goodchild 1977). Most of these species are considered important from an economic point of view.Holymenia clavigera (Herbst, 1784) and Anisocelis foliacea marginella (Dallas, 1852) are distributed in southern Brazil and belong to the poorly studied tribe...
