Parasitoids Reared From Predators of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (Hemiptera: Adelgidae), and the Hymenopterous Parasitoid Community on Western Hemlock in the Pacific Northwest

Abstract: In western North America, infestations of the hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae Annand (Hemiptera: Adelgidae), are common on orchard, ornamental, and roadside western hemlock, Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sargent. However, these infestations rarely cause T. heterophylla mortality. Host tolerance and presence of endemic predators may be contributing to the relatively low levels of injury to T. heterophylla caused by A. tsugae. Field surveys of the arthropod community associated with A. tsugae infestations on … Show more

“…Biocontrol predators that are to some degree being currently assessed include: Sasajiscymnus tsugae (Sasaji and McClure) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), Laricobius nigrinus Fender (Coleoptera: Derodontidae), Laricobius osakensis Montgomery (Coleoptera: Derodontidae), Scymnus coniferarum (Crotch) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), Scymnus sinuanodulus Yu and Yao (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), Leucopis argenticollis (Zetterstedt) (Diptera: Chamaemyiidae), and Leucopis piniperda (Malloch) (Cheah et al. 2004, Kohler et al. 2008, Darr and Salom 2014, Mooneyham and Salom 2014, USDA Forest Service 2015).…”

“…Up to 50 species of generalist and specialist predators of HWA have been identified in Japan or eastern Asia [119]. Several predators have been tested for biological control potential since 1992 [17,90,119,120,121,122,123,124,125,126,127,128,129,130]. For example, the lady beetle Sasajiscymnus tsugae , a native predator of HWA in Japan was initially imported to and studied in New Jersey.…”

“…Furthermore, 55 predatory species representing 14 families were recovered from western hemlock, Tsuga heterophylla (RaÞnesque-Schmaltz) Sargent, in the western United States. The abundances of larval Laricobius spp., adult Laricobius nigrinus Fender (Coleoptera: Derodontidae), and adult Leucopis argenticollis Zetterstedt (Diptera: Chamaemyiidae) on western hemlock were found to be positively correlated to hemlock woolly adelgid, and considered to be hemlock woolly adelgid specialist predators (Kohler et al 2008). In the eastern United States, Ͼ60 generalist predatory species belonging to 21 families in Þve orders have been documented from eastern hemlock (Wallace andHain 2000, Buck et al 2005).…”
