The taxonomy within the family Isotomidae is unclear due to the strong morphological similarity among species, low interspecific variability, and overlapping chaetotaxic patterns that often obscure species boundaries. These challenges highlight the need for standardized approaches that minimize subjectivity in descriptions and enable comparability across taxa. The genus Mucrosomia is a small but significant lineage within Isotomidae, comprising four recognized species distributed across distinct habitats worldwide. In this study, we provide the first comprehensive revision of Mucrosomia using Coded Taxonomy, a framework that translates morphological characters into coded matrices, enabling reproducibility and integration with digital platforms. We describe two new species, Mucrosomia janssensi sp. nov. and Mucrosomia potapovi sp. nov., and attempt to code the previously described species under the new standardized system. Our results establish a robust comparative basis for the genus and demonstrate the potential of coded approaches to advance Collembola taxonomy.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13219218/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148043071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This situation has changed dramatically, and nowadays, they turned to be key pests of major commodities, such as soybean and maize. They are polyphagous, showing preference for Fabaceae (Leguminosae) and Poaceae (Gramineae). Despite being predominantly seed feeders (soybean bearing pods and cereals bearing seedheads), they also feed on vegetative (seedlings of maize, wheat, and other cultivated spring cereals) plant stages. Feeding activity includes ingestion from xylem vessels, parenchyma cells, and endosperm tissues. Feeding strategies consist on salivary sheath strategy on xylem, laceration (mechanical action by stylets, mostly mandible indentations), and maceration (chemical action of enzymes) causing cells rupture on the parenchyma and seed endosperm. Resulting damage on seedlings of Poaceae includes emission of excess tillering, whitish spots on leaves, wrinkled leaf areas, and tissue necrosis. Feeding during booming causes discolored and deformed seedheads. Fabaceae damage on the seed endosperm shows whitish spots and seed deformation. The uncommon exploration of seedlings by these seed feeding stink bugs, which result in heavy damage, occurs in order to seek for water to get hydrated; acquisition of some nutrients; and achievement of nutrients balance by diluting the concentrated in nutrients sieve from the seed endosperm they usually feed on. Understanding those feeding behaviors allows to establish some important management recommendations such as reducing soybean seed losses and weeds presence at harvest. Seeds on the ground and presence of green weeds are crucial food sources for the green-bellied stink bugs, keeping them active from first to second crop season in the field, favoring their outbreaks.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13212653/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148033522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluated the survival of immature stages (egg, larva, pupa) of Ae. aegypti populations from Curitiba and Foz do Iguaçu, two municipalities in the Paraná State, a subtropical region in the south of Brazil. Two experiments were performed at 9°C (the winter median lower minimum temperature in Curitiba and Foz do Iguaçu): In the first, pools of embryonated eggs were incubated inside the water at 9°C, with a hatching stimulus, for periods ranging from 5 to 20 days. No hatching was observed for both populations. After these periods, eggs were transferred to optimal temperature (27°C) and hatching occurred for eggs incubated at 9°C between 5 and 14 days, with viability decreasing with increased incubation periods. No hatching occurred with 15-20 incubation periods, although eggs contained fully developed larvae. In the second experiment, L1 larvae and pupae were observed in water at 9°C. L1 developed to L2 in both populations but died after a 3- and 4-day period at 9°C for Curitiba and Foz do Iguaçu, respectively. Pupae remained alive for 15 and 13 days in Curitiba and Foz do Iguaçu, respectively, but did not become adults.

The study was conducted with kale, okra, tomato, and scarlet eggplant over three cropping seasons (one in 2023 and two in 2024). The main pest species were Lipaphis erysimi on kale and Aphis gossypii on okra (aphids); Corythaica passiflorae on scarlet eggplant and Gargaphia lunulata on okra (lace bugs); Bemisia tabaci on kale and tomato (whiteflies); and Frankliniella schultzei on tomato and Thrips spp. on okra (thrips). A generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) with negative binomial distribution was used to evaluate the effects of sampling technique, sampling unit, and crop on pest density. Optimal sampling combinations were defined based on higher mean densities and lower coefficients of variation (CV). Direct counting was the most effective technique for aphids, whiteflies, and lace bugs, whereas tray beating was more efficient for thrips. However, the optimal sampling unit varied strongly according to crop-pest interactions. These results indicate that, although sampling techniques can be partially standardized by pest group, the selection of the sampling unit must consider crop-specific interactions. This approach improves sampling efficiency and supports decision-making in Integrated Pest Management programs in diversified agroecosystems such as AFS.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13194225/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147982476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These ants are highly aggressive when the colony is disturbed and can cause accidents due to their stings. In addition, they cause economic losses in agriculture by hindering manual harvesting, feeding on crops, and establishing mutualistic relationships with sap-sucking insects. Therefore, there is considerable interest in the development of new and effective methods and products for the control of these insects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema rarum and its symbiotic bacterium against fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) under laboratory conditions. To assess nematode activity at different concentrations (5, 50, 150, and 300 IJs per insect), as well as the effects of the symbiotic bacterium of S. rarum and its secondary metabolites (SM), each treatment was applied separately to different ant developmental stages (larvae, pupae, workers, and winged forms) maintained in Petri dishes. In addition, a microcolony experiment was conducted, consisting of ten workers, five larvae, five pupae, and one winged form per dish. The results demonstrated that all treatments with nematodes, the bacterium, and its metabolites caused mortality in ants, ranging from 10 to 100% depending on the developmental stage and treatment. These findings highlight the potential of entomopathogenic nematodes and their symbiotic bacteria for the control of fire ants.

In Aedes aegypti, recent evidence from temperate Argentina shows that short-day photoperiods induce the production of diapause eggs with inhibited hatching, enhanced energy reserves, and increased survival. However, the associated morphological changes have not been characterized in detail, and it remains unknown whether they also occur under natural conditions. Here, we provide the first quantitative assessment of photoperiod-induced egg shape variation in Ae. aegypti, using geometric morphometrics based on elliptic Fourier descriptors. We analyzed both laboratory-reared eggs obtained under contrasting photoperiods (long vs. short) and field-collected eggs obtained weekly during the fall in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In both datasets, the main axis of morphological variation represented a transition from elongated to rounder eggs. Eggs produced under short photoperiods and those collected later in the fall were significantly rounder, in line with the seasonal decline in day length. Although photoperiod was the strongest predictor of shape change, temperature was also associated with this trait. The magnitude of morphological differences between early- and late-fall field samples was comparable to that between laboratory treatments. These findings demonstrate that photoperiod consistently influences Ae. aegypti egg morphology in both experimental and natural contexts and suggest that egg shape may serve as a sensitive indicator of diapause-related changes, offering a new approach to study seasonal adaptation in this vector species.","PeriodicalId":19071,"journal":{"name":"Neotropical Entomology","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147988387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Egg to pupa development time was affected by the number of larvae developing within the host. On average, 27 days were needed to complete larval development if there was a single larva per host, whereas 30 days on average were needed when more than one larva developed within a host. Pupa to adult development time was on average 19 days, and average adult longevity was 11 days.

Arctiinae had a higher abundance in the early evening, although it did not show a richness concentration at any hour. Saturniidae and Sphingidae had both abundance and richness concentrated in the middle of the night. Climatic variables related to abundance and richness differed between taxa and species.
