叙利亚柠檬酸蚧虫pseudomagnoliarum的几种高寄生蜂攻击初级寄生蜂的分类学研究

萨利赫，A.T.和A.M.Basheer》2023。叙利亚柠檬酸蚧虫pseudomagnoliarum的几种高寄生蜂攻击初级寄生蜂的分类学研究。植物保护学报，41(3):292-305。https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-41.3.292305柑橘蚧虫，pseudomagnoliarum， (Kuwana)(半翅目:Coccomorpha: Coccidae)是一种重要的经济害虫，发生在叙利亚沿海的柑橘树上。于2016年4月至2017年6月在拉塔基亚省的两个地点(Al-Sanobar, Dabba)采集寄主昆虫和被侵染植物部位样本，并将样本送到大马士革大学农学院生物防治研究中心(BCSRC)。综上所述，尼氏微蜂(Microterys nietneri)(膜翅目:蜂科)可能作为柑桔蚧的生物防治剂发挥重要作用，但高寄生蜂水平降低了尼氏微蜂作为柑桔蚧的生物防治效果。本研究的目的是描述和鉴定自然发生的类超寄生虫。在叙利亚首次发现并报道的拟寄生虫有:Cheiloneurus claviger (Thomson)、Pachyneuron muscarum (Linnaeus)和Marietta leopardine (Motschulsky)。显微图像说明了这些物种的形态和形态计量特征。关键词:超寄生物，柑桔鳞片，微孢子虫，叙利亚
