“…Dissections of citrus aphids in autumn 1993 indicated that the parasitism by the aphidiids ranged from 2-5% in citrus groves except in one instance in Winter Garden when the parasitism rose to 33% (48). Occasionally, the melon aphid on hibiscus was found to be parasitized by Aphelinus gossypii (46), which was introduced from India to Florida in 1969 (11). A solitary endoparasitic gall midge, Endaphis maculans (Barnes) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), was found to attack the spirea aphid, the melon aphid, and the black citrus aphid in dooryard citrus, abandoned citrus, and ornamentals in central Florida but was absent in commercial citrus groves (43).…”

“…Trioxys indicus was recorded to attack 24 aphid species including the brown citrus aphid (28,34,35) and has been found to be effective in controlling Aphis craccivora Koch and the melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, in India (28). Trioxys indicus Subba Rao & Sharma (= Binodoxys indicus) was imported from India and released as a potential biological control agent for the melon aphid in Florida in 1969 and 1971, but no data exist which indicate if this parasitoid ever became established (11,48).…”

Some parasitoids and predators of the brown citrus aphid, Toxoptera citricida, are reviewed. There are many predators associated with the brown citrus aphid but they are typically polyphagous and may not be good candidates for specific augmentation or release programs. Parasitoids of the brown citrus aphid are more host-specific and offer good potential as biological control agents. Therefore, a search for parasitoids of brown citrus aphid was initiated. During four surveys ofAsia conducted in 1991,1992 and 1995, eight parasitic wasp species were found attacking brown citrus aphid. Two species, Aphelinus spiraecolae from China and Lysiphlebia japonica from Japan, were imported to Florida for study. In the laboratory, A. spiraecolae preferred the spirea aphid, Aphis spiraecola, and in October 1995, a permit was obtained for field release in Florida against spirea aphid. Lysiphlebia japonica was released against the brown citrus aphid in spring, 1996 in south Florida. The impact of these two nonindigenous parasitoids on brown citrus aphid populations will be monitored along with their effect on other aphids. Index words. Aphelinus spiraecolae, citrus aphids, Lysiphlebia japonica, vector management.

“…Pronematus ubiquitus has a cosmopolitan distribution on all continents (except Antarctica), including North America (Acuña-Soto et al, 2017; Denmark and Porter, 1973; Mcgregor, 1932), South America (De Sousa et al, 2015; Fiaboe et al, 2007), Europe (Kumral and Çobanoğlu, 2015; van Houten et al, 2019; Vela et al, 2017), Africa (Abou-Awad et al, 1999; Ueckermann and Grout, 2007), Asia (Baradaran and Arbabi, 2009; Barbar, 2016; Gerson, 1968), and Oceania (Maynard et al, 2018). Pronematus ubiquitus is able to exploit a wide range of food sources, including plant sap (Brickhill, 1958; Knop and Hoy, 1983), pollen (Flaherty and Hoy, 1971), eriophyoid mites (Abou-Awad et al, 1999; Baker, 1968; van Houten et al, 2019), and tetranychid mites (Dean, 1957).…”

The spider mites Tetranychus evansi Baker & Pritchard and Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) are key tomato pests worldwide. Biological control of spider mites using phytoseiid predatory mites remains challenging. The glandular trichomes on the tomato leaves and stem severely hamper the movement and establishment of the predatory mites. As a result, smaller predatory mites, able to thrive under the sticky heads of the glandular trichomes, have gained much interest. As some iolinid predatory mites were reported to feed on spider mites, we investigated the potential of Pronematus ubiquitus McGregor to control both T. urticae and T. evansi on tomato plants. On whole tomato plants, P. ubiquitus was able to suppress populations of T. urticae, but not of T. evansi. Based on the marginal number of spider mites killed in laboratory trials, the observed biocontrol effect on full tomato plants might not be due to direct predation but to a plant-mediated indirect impact. The oviposition of T. urticae was found to be significantly lower on tomato leaflets pre-exposed to P. ubiquitus as compared to non-exposed leaflets. The oviposition rate of T. evansi was not affected by previous exposure of the tomato host plant to P. ubiquitus. We demonstrated that P. ubiquitus reduces the population growth of T. urticae on tomato plants. Further large-scale field trials need to confirm the findings of the present study.

“…It is an attractive pet for collectors, and these stick insects are often kept in dense colonies for scientific use or for science education programs and demonstrations in schools. It has been introduced in Florida ( Denmark and Porter 1973 ), California ( Brock 1992 ), the U.K. ( Lee 1993 ), Germany ( Weidner 1981 ), South Africa ( Brock 1999 ), and Madagascar ( Cliquennois 2007 ). This species currently seems to be rather common in Madeira, but the first specimens were sampled only after 1990.…”

Two species of stick insects are currently known to be present in the Macaronesian archipelagos: Clonopsis gallica (Charpentier) (Phasmatodea: Bacillidae) on the Canary Islands and in the Azores and Carausius morosus (Sinéty) (Phasmatidae) in the Azores. Here, we provide the first reliable records of the presence and distribution of C. gallica and C. morosus on Madeira Island. Egg and adult stages are briefly described along with some notes on the life history of these species in captivity. Data on islandwide distribution are based on specimens donated by the public in response to an article published in a daily newspaper. This method of data collection raised great popular interest in stick insects. The role of newspapers as a means of communicating awareness in biodiversity issues is discussed.
