Can. En?. 108: 601-608 (1976) Life cycles of Perisrenus pallipes (Curtis) and P . pseudopallipes (Loan), parasitoids of the tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (P. de B . ) , were investigated in an alfalfa field and in uncut weeds in the Ste. Anne de Bellevue area. In 1972, P . pallipes adults emerged in mid-May and P . pseudopallipes adults emerged in late July. The incidence of parasitism in nymphal and adult stages of the tarnished plant bug, L. lineolaris, was measured. The population of the tarnished plant bug in the weeds was more heavily parasitized than the one in the alfalfa field. The ichneumonid hyperparasite Mesochorus curvulus Thomson was also found in this area.

“…As Lygus species are generally multivoltine, subsequent generations are not attacked by native parasitoids (Kuhlmann et al 1998;Coutinot & Hoelmer 1999). Several bivoltine and multivoltine Peristenus species have a significant impact on populations of Lygus rugulipennis Poppius in Europe (Loan & Bilewicz-Pawinska 1973;Bilewicz-Pawinska 1976;Kuhlmann et al 1998). Thus, the introduction of bivoltine European Peristenus species as classical biological control agents into Canada may fill an unoccupied niche and suppress native Lygus populations throughout the season.…”

“…Members of the genus Peristenus can be difficult to distinguish because species differences are small (Loan & Bilewicz-Pawinska 1973;Bilewicz-Pawinska & Pankanin 1974). As such, PCR-based methods for distinguishing between species would be advantageous for identifying adult Peristenus species and for detecting immature stages of Peristenus in parasitized Lygus nymphs.…”

“…These molecular marker systems include PCR-based methods that potentially preclude the need for tedious and time-consuming dissection and rearing procedures. This would be advantageous as dissection provides no information as to which parasitoid species is present (Carignan et al 1995), and rearing methods often require several months because of diapause prior to adult emergence and identification (Loan & Bilewicz-Pawinska 1973). Tilmon et al (2000) developed molecular markers based on the cytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) gene for P. pallipes Curtis, P. digoneutis , and P. conradi Marsh in order to assess parasitism rates in L. lineolaris in the field.…”

“…in the USA (Coulson 1987;Day 1999), and are currently being considered for release in Canada. Peristenus pallipes , however, is an holarctic species occuring in Europe and North America (Loan 1965(Loan , 1974Loan & Bilewicz-Pawinska 1973;Hormchan 1977) where it is known to parasitize several mirid species (Craig 1963;Loan 1965;BilewiczPawinka 1977BilewiczPawinka , 1982. A multiplex PCR protocol for these species would be particularly useful in North America and Europe for detecting immature stages of Peristenus in parasitized Lygus nymphs in order to determine Peristenus -host associations, which are particularly important for non-target risk assessment studies.…”

Lygus Hahn (Hemiptera: Miridae) are serious pests of agricultural and greenhouse crops throughout North America. In Europe, bivoltine Peristenus Fö rster (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have a significant impact on Lygus populations. Release and establishment of European P. digoneutis Loan in Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) populations in northeastern USA has renewed interest in the intended liberation of European parasitoids for Lygus control in Canada. Accurate identification of natural enemies is the cornerstone of biological control but conventional methods for identifying Peristenus species and estimating parasitism rates rely on tedious and time-consuming dissection and rearing methods. The present study describes species-specific PCR primers for three species of Peristenus , and the use of a multiplex PCR assay to detect P. digoneutis and P. stygicus Loan eggs and larvae from Lygus rugulipennis Poppius nymphs. Results indicate that the primers amplify uniquely sized, species-specific PCR products for the three species and are capable of detecting single eggs in parasitized nymphs within 3 days post-parasitism. Using a multiplex PCR assay, the primers maintain specificity and sensitivity, and allow detection of each of the three species in a single reaction. Although molecular diagnostics have previously been used in the identification of parasitoids and estimation of parasitism rates, this is the first time a single-step multiplex PCR protocol has been described.
