Abstract

Abstract The objective of this work was to describe the sexual dimorphism and mating behavior of Lobiopa insularis for the development of pest control and management programs. The morphological characteristics for separating males and females were described with the aid of a stereomicroscope. Mating sequence was recorded over 72 hours with a digital camera. There are differences between males and females in the last abdomen segments, and males maintain a guarding position after mating. The obtained data can be used in monitoring programs to precisely identify the sex of the insects, also shedding light on the ecological features of this pest and Nitidulidae.

草莓害虫叶蛾的交配行为及雌雄二型性

摘要本研究旨在了解岛叶Lobiopa insularis的两性二态性和交配行为，为制定害虫防治方案提供依据。在体视显微镜下描述了雌雄分离的形态学特征。用数码相机记录了72小时内的交配过程。雄性和雌性在最后的腹部节有差异，雄性在交配后保持一个守卫的位置。所获得的数据可以用于监测程序，以精确识别昆虫的性别，也揭示了这种害虫和Nitidulidae的生态特征。
