“…Thrips are generally (Lattin 1999), and Orius spp. typically demonstrate a preference for thrips over other types of prey in choice situations (Kakimoto et al 2006;Arnò et al 2008;Xu and Enkegaard 2009).…”

“…Although they are polyphagous, Orius spp. show a preference for attacking larval and adult thrips (Thysanoptera) over other available prey (Kakimoto et al 2006;Arnò et al 2008;Xu and Enkegaard 2009). Consequently, they are considered promising and effective as biological control agents and have been used successfully in biological control programs in greenhouse and open-field cropping systems against various thysanopteran pests.…”

Development, consumption rates and reproductive biology of Orius albidipennis reared on various prey

et al. 2010

The predatory bug Orius albidipennis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) has tremendous potential as a biological control agent, especially in its native range around the Mediterranean Basin and East Africa. The need to exploit native biological control agents is growing in importance as concerns over the introduction of non-native species continue to increase. However, little is known of the effects of different prey on development and reproduction of O. albidipennis compared with other species of Orius. Therefore, we compared the development, survival, reproductive biology, and prey consumption of O. albidipennis when fed eggs of Ephestia kuehniella Zeller, Tetranychus urticae Koch, and Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood), and larvae of Gynaikothrips ficorum (Marchal), under laboratory of 26 ± 1°C, 60 ± 10% RH and 16L:8D photoperiod. Individuals were reared from the neonate stage until death on one of the four prey types. The type of prey had profound effects on all measured performance traits. The highest survival rate was recorded for nymphs that were fed on E. kuehniella eggs, while the lowest survival rate was observed for those fed on T. vaporariorum eggs. The shortest nymphal period was recorded for nymphs fed on E. kuehniella eggs, while the longest was measured for those fed on T. urticae eggs. During the nymphal period, O. albidipennis consumed significantly more eggs of T. urticae than other prey types, whereas the lowest number of consumed prey were eggs of E. kuehniella. Adult females and males consumed significantly more T. urticae eggs than other types of prey. However, Orius albidipennis females showed the highest fecundity when fed on E. kuehniella eggs, and the lowest when fed on T. vaporariorum eggs. Adult females and males that fed on G. ficorum larvae had significantly longer life spans compared with those fed other prey. Because of their relatively rapid development and high fecundity, O. albidipennis fed E. kuehniella eggs had a significantly higher net reproductive rate (R o ) and intrinsic rate of increase (r m ) than O. albidipennis fed other prey types. Overall, eggs of E. kuehniella were the most suitable diet for nymphs and adults of O. albidipennis. Although less suitable, O. albidipennis could survive and reproduce on the other prey types, which is a favourable attribute in biological control agents. These results on the effect of different prey types on development and reproduction of O. albidipennis will also contribute to Handling Editor:

“…Four species were discussed by Palmer and Mound (1990) as predators of armoured scale insects, H. cahirensis (Trybom), H. callani Faure, H. kurdjumovi Karny, and H. subtilissimus (Haliday), also in Australia H. victoriensis Bagnall is a predator of two-spotted mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Bailey and Caon 1986). Moreover in Japan, H. brevitubus (Karny) is considered a predator of the mulberry thrips, Pseudodendrothrips mori (Niwa) (Kakimoto et al 2006). In addition to these, several recently described Haplothrips species from Australia are considered likely to be predators (Mound and Minaei 2007).…”

In Iran, 4 genera and 27 species are recorded of the Thysanoptera tribe Haplothripini (Phlaeothripidae, Phlaeothripinae): Dolicholepta Priesner with 1 species, Haplothrips Amyot and Serville with 23 species, Neoheegeria Schmutz with 2 species, and Plicothrips Bhatti with 1 species. Identification keys are provided to these taxa. Three new synonyms are established: H. inoptatus Priesner is a junior synonym of H. globiceps Bagnall, H. iraniensis Priesner is a junior synonym of H. maroccanus Priesner, and H. scythicus Knechtel is a junior synonym of H. leucanthemi (Schrank). Reports of H. cerealis Priesner from Iran are considered to be misidentifications of H. tritici Kurdjumov, and comments are made on the identity of several predatory species related to H. subtilissimus (Haliday) and H. globiceps Bagnall. Several character states used for recognizing taxa in Haplothrips are discussed, and available biological data for each species are presented.

“…Apart from some species that are predators on other arthropods (Putman 1965, Bailey and Caon 1986, Palmer and Mound 1990, zur Strassen 1995, Kakimoto et al 2006, Okajima 2006) most species in this genus live on two plant families, Asteraceae and Poaceae, with a few species found on plants in other families. One of these is Haplothrips kermanensis zur Strassen which was described from Iran based on specimens collected on Haloxylon sp.…”

Haplothrips herajius sp. n. is described from leaves and flowers of a species of Suaeda in the south of Fars Province, Iran. This is the second Iranian species of Haplothrips with the unusual character state of extra setae on the metanotum. Information on variation in color and structure of the new species is provided. The similarities and host plant associations of this new species and Haplothrips kermanensis are discussed,as both are phytophagous on species of Chenopodiaceae.
