Abstract

ABSTRACT: The natural enemies of the avocado stem weevil, (Copturus aguacatae Kissinger) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in the state of Nayarit, Mexico, were identified. Branch samples were taken biweekly during Feb–Dec 2015 in avocado orchards located in Tepic and Xalisco. The branches with C. aguacatae larvae were placed in cages and checked weekly until parasitoids or adult borers emerged. Eleven species of parasitic Hymenoptera were found; particularly abundant was Heterospilus bruchi (Viereck) (Braconidae). In addition, three species of entomopathogenic fungi (Metarhizium pingshaense, Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana) were identified associated with avocado stem weevil in Nayarit.

墨西哥纳亚里特鳄梨茎象鼻虫的相关寄生蜂和昆虫病原学研究

摘要：对墨西哥纳亚里特州鳄梨茎象甲（Copturus aguacatae Kissinger）的天敌进行了鉴定。2015年2月至12月，在位于特皮克和哈利斯科的鳄梨园每两周采集一次枝条样本。将有C.aguacatae幼虫的枝条放在笼子里，每周检查一次，直到出现寄生蜂或成虫。发现寄生膜翅目昆虫11种；特别丰富的是布鲁奇异蛛（Viereck）（Braconidae）。此外，在纳亚里特发现了三种与鳄梨茎象甲有关的昆虫病原真菌（平沙绿僵菌、绿僵菌和白僵菌）。

期刊介绍： Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
