Diglyphus species are dominant biocontrol agents for suppressing outbreaks of agromyzid leafminers in fields. In July 2015, we collected a new thelytokous species of Diglyphus in Qinghai, China. The wasp is here named as D. wani Liu, Zhu & Yefremova sp. nov., based on morphological and molecular analyses. The life history and biocontrol potential of the wasp were studied in the laboratory and by providing Liriomyza sativae larvae. The intrinsic rate of increase, finite rate of increase, and…

Demographics and host-kill parameters of Diglyphus horticola Khan against Chromatomyia horticola (Goureau)

Demographics and pest-kill parameters of D. horticola were better on 5-days old host larvae than on 3-daysOld host larvae, and the parasitoid females killed more number of hosts by parasitism than host-feeding or host-stinging.

Morphological and molecular identification of arrhenotokous strain of Diglyphuswani (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) found in China as a control agent against agromyzid leafminers

The two strains of D.wani are dominant parasitoids against agromyzid leafminers and such effective discernible foundation provides future in-depth studies on biological characteristics, along with insight into field application of two strains, are provided.

Potential for biological control of the vegetable leafminer, Liriomyza sativae (Diptera: Agromyzidae), in Australia with parasitoid wasps

Knowing gaps remain locally about the taxonomy, distribution, host range and life cycle of parasitoids, and their potential impact on L. sativae needs to be assessed adequately in the field before the importation of additional exotic parasitoid species is contemplated.

Multiple Data Demonstrate That Bacteria Regulating Reproduction Could Be Not the Cause for the Thelytoky of Diglyphus wani (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)

The findings revealed that the thelytoky of D. wani was not to be associated with the actual presence of the endosymbionts, making it the second reported eulophid parasitoid for which thelyToky is not linked with the presence of endosYmbiont.

Unsuccessful Host Stinging by Aphelinus asychis (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) Impacts Population Parameters of the Pea Aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

It is indicated that unsuccessful host stinging enhances the biological control impact of A. pisum, and its effect on host populations should also be considered when selecting and mass rearing of parasitoids for biological control.

Mitochondrial DNA diversity and geographical distribution of sexual and asexual strains of the braconid parasitoid Meteorus pulchricornis

Three hypotheses on the evolution of asexuality are discussed for this parasitoid wasp: recessive gene, hybridization, and cytoplasmic element.

Review of the European species of Diglyphus Walker (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) including the description of a new species.

The European species of Diglyphus Walker are reviewed and one is described as new, and one, D. anadolucus Doganlar, is recorded as new to Europe.

DNA barcode reference libraryconstruction and population genetic diversity and structure analysis of Amomum villosum Lour. in Daodi production area

The results of genetic diversity showed that it is necessary to take appropriate in situ protection measures for the populations of A. villosum in Yangchun City and increase the genetic exchange between populations to improve the genetic diversity of A.

Apomixis for no bacteria-induced thelytoky in Diglyphus wani (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)

D. wani is the first eulophid parasitoid wasp in Hymenoptera whose thelytoky was not induced by bacteria to form an apomictic thelyToky, and provides a baseline for future inner molecular genetic studies of ameiotic thetoky.

Correction to: Life history traits and host-killing rate of Neochrysocharis formosa on Tuta absoluta

Life history traits and host-killing parameters were highest on the second instar host larvae compared to the first or third instar, and thehost-killing rate of the parasitoid was much higher than the intrinsic rate of increase.
