“…Native anthocorid predatory bugs do not appear to have a major impact on the pest (Cook et al 1996), but predatory mites seem to hold greater promise (Steiner et al 2003), and the possibility of adding an alarm pheromone to insecticides has also been examined (Cook et al 2002). Although glasshouse crops were the initial target, field crops are being increasingly attacked.…”

Studies in Australia on thrips have had extensive impacts worldwide. In behaviour, the latest definition of eusociality is derived from work on the radiation of thrips on Acacia species in central Australia, and these Acacia thrips also having been used to develop the concept of 'model clades' for analysing the evolution of behavioural and ecological diversity. In ecology, the concept of the lack of density dependent factors in population dynamics was elaborated through studies on the plague thrips of southern Australia. In virology, thrips were first shown in Australia to be the vectors of tospoviruses, although these viruses, their vectors and the plants attacked are all non-native to this continent. Work in Australia has included the development of electronic methods of illustration, identification and information transfer about thrips, including the use of molecular methods for pest species recognition, and considerable advances have been made in Australia in our knowledge of the relationships between thrips and plants, from polyphagy to pollination.

“…eggs, larvae or nymphs) that are more vulnerable to attack by predators. When prey are immobile, such as eggs or pupae, the predation rates can be high under natural fi eld conditions (Andow, 1990;Cook et al, 1996) . In this study, the mean consumption rates of O. vicinus were higher than O. laevigatus at eggs densities of T. urticae of 2 and 32, whereas O. laevigatus consumed more B. tabaci eggs when provided with 4 eggs.…”

Among them, Anthocoridae (Hemiptera: Cimicoidea), which include a number of genera (e.g., Anthocoris, Orius), are well-known as generalist predators, preying upon small bodied insects such as thrips, whitefl ies, mites, scales, aphids, psyllids, psocids, bark beetles, small caterpillars and the eggs of various insects and mites (Önder, 1982; Lattin, 2002). According to fi eld observations on species of anthocorids in Adana province of Turkey, Orius laevigatus (Fieber) and O. vicinus Ribaut are the most common species, followed by O. niger Wolff (Pehlivan & Atakan, 2020). While O. laevigatus has been commercially used for the biological control of the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Mediterranean regions (Chambers et al., 1993), O. vicinus is considered to be a potential biological control agent against

Two new species of Orius Wolff, O. gracilis sp. n. and O. dendrophilus sp. n., and the male of O. chadwicki Woodward and Postle are described from Australia. In addition, the genus Montandoniola Poppius, represented by M. moraguesi (Puton) and M. sawtellense sp. n., is recorded from Australia for the first time. These species are incorporated into a revised key to the Australian Oriini which, until now, has been represented only by Orius spp. The potential of these and other Australian anthocorids as biological control agents is discussed.
