In choice assays, parasitoids were presented with 50 aphids of each host aphid on their respective host plants in the same cage. Aphidiid wasps attack only aphids. Entomophaga 33, 403412 (1988). As a general rule, a greenbug infestation usually declines rapidly after 20% of the greenbugs are mummies; at this point most of the living greenbugs have been parasitized but have not yet turned into mummies. Identification The most obvious evidence that L. testaceipes or its Aphidiidae relatives are present is the brown, gold, or tan, crusty, puffy (mummified) bodies of aphids on leaves and green shoots. We also took advantage of several opportunities to report on this research at farmer field days. feed and develop causing the aphid host to die and turn into a brown The adult wasp has long black antennae, a black head and thorax, and black and dark green abdomen and legs. Also, it has recently been categorized as an invasive species. Ext. The native hyperparasitoid complex of the invasive aphid parasitoid A 2-year study in a vegetable-growing area (Tori, Hla Avam) in Benin has shown that the invasive aphid parasitoid Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson) was attacked by three species of native hyperparasitoids. of this land, and whose cultures are among the oldest continuing in human history. 151. Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cr.), a special case of ecesis in Italy. Asoc. Subsequent regression models for L. testaceipes parasitism in wheat fields in autumn and spring showed that landscape variables influenced parasitism and indicated that parasitism increased with increasing landscape diversity.

Hymenoptera: Aphidiinae. Preferred name: Lysiphlebus testaceipes. Both no-choice and choice assays were conducted. of Lysiphlebus The conspicuous sign of aphidiid activity is the presence of aphid "mummies" - swollen, dead aphids that have been tanned and hardened to form a protective case for the developing wasp pupa. Functional responses by Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson), a common parasitoid of small grain aphids, on greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), were measured at seven temperatures (14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2C) during a 24-h period (12-h light: 12-h dark). Once the percentage of mummified aphids reaches 10-20%, its a good bet that most of the aphids present on a leaf have been parasitized. Published online by Cambridge University Press: Adults However, the shorter residual activity of methyl parathion allows parasites to recolonize a field sooner after treatment. Host preference of Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae cycle [5][1] Following introduction to Europe, L. testaceipes spread relatively quickly along the Mediterranean coast to eventually cover the entire Mediterranean area. Akhtar, M. S., and Debjani Dey, 2011: A catalogue of aphid parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) from India. Progress 10/01/10 to 09/30/12OutputsOUTPUTS: 1) Soybean aphid (Aphis glycines) populations and natural enemies were surveyed in 5 commercial soybean fields and 3 agricultural research stations across southern Wisconsin during the summers of 2010, 2011, and 2012. First detection of Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson) (Hymenoptera Print 2015. Like all members of Aphidiinae, L. testaceipes is a solitary, koinobiont endoparasitoid of aphids. Hofsvang, Trond 4. &Michelena Saval, J. M.1983. Lysiphlebus testaceipes preys on over 100 species of aphids. Females can be seen crawling about on the undersurface of cotton leaves in search of aphids to parasitize. Traditional monitoring involves collecting aphids and holding them in the laboratory until adult parasitoids emerge. de Oliveira Menezes Junior, A. Language links are at the top of the page across from the title. Taxonomy browser (Lysiphlebus testaceipes) - National Center for Winter wheat is Oklahoma's most widely grown crop, and is planted during September and October, grows from fall through spring, and is harvested in June. 0223523 Grant No. These locations were visited and sampled biweekly from June through August to estimate densities of soybean aphids and L. testaceipes mummies.
