“…When other host eggs were nearby, searching and marking occurred almost simultaneously. Host marking was reported in other Telenomus species (Balduf, 1926 ;Costa Lima, 1928 ;Rabb & Bradley, 1970 ;Feflde, 1977 ;Bosque & Rabinovlch, 1979 ;Ables et al, 1981 ;Strand & Vinson, 1983). Although eggs parasitized by T. solitus apparently were marked, superparasitization still occurred occasionally.…”

The results of laboratory studies on the life history, morphology of immature stages, effects of food and water on adult longevity, host age preference for oviposition, parthenogenesis, and adult behavior of Telenomus solitus Johnson are presented. Telenomus solitus completed its development in 10.8 days (egg, 0.3 day ; I st instar, 2.7 days ; 2 *a instar, 3.7 days ; and pupa, 4.1 days). The adults lived longest when provided with both honey and water. Without food, they survived less than 24 h. Parasitization of host eggs varied significantly with their age, being highest in 42 h old eggs. Fewer than 10 % of eggs older than 60 h were parasitized successfully. The periodicity of oviposition was unimodal ; it occurred throughout the 24 h period and peaked in the late photophase. Females of T. solitus are arrhenotokous. The behavioral sequences during courtship, mating, and oviposition are described. KEY-WORDS:Telenomus, egg parasitoid, immature morphology, adult behavior.The Scelionidae is the largest family of Proctotrupoidea, with more than 70 genera distributed among 3 subfamilies and more than 20 tribes. Telenomus is a cosmopolitan, eurytopic genus, with more than 500 nominal species. Several species show some degree of specificity, primarily parasitizing only the eggs of host species from which they were reared (Anderson, 1976). Parasitization by a single species of Telenomus of insects in more than one order is uncommon (Johnson, 1984).In February, 1977, an undescribed Neotropical species of Telenomus was collected from eggs of an undetermined noctuid on potato foliage near Solola, Guatemala. This species was later described and named Telenomus solitus by Johnson (1983). We studied the biology of T. solitus Johnson before it was released for biological control. In this paper, we describe its life history and behavior. MATERIALS AND METHODS GENERAL EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURESExcept for studies on the response of Telenomus solitus to varying temperatures, all experiments were conducted at 26.7 _+ 2 ~ 50 _+ 5 % RH, and 12L : 12D photoperiod (~) Current address : Southern Field Crap Insect Management Laboratory, P.O.

“…Host marking by rubbing the tip of the ovipositor in a sinuous pattern over the egg surface was characteristic of T. fariai Lima (Costa Lima 1928), T. ashmeadi (Morril 1907), T . cosmopeplae Gahan (Balduf 1926), and T. sphingis (Ashmead) (Rabb and Bradley 1970).…”

NOTES ON THE BIOLOGY OF TELENOMUS COELODASIDIS (HYMENOPTERA: SCELIONIDAE) AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE SADDLED PROMINENT, HETEROCAMPA GUTTIVITTA (LEPIDOPTERA: NOTODONTIDAE)

A biological study of Telenomus coelodasidis Ashm. revealed a close temporal synchronization between this egg parasitoid and its primary host, Heterocampa guttivitta (Wlkr.). The wasp reproduced parthenogenetically in the laboratory and completed development in unfertilized host eggs. Wasp activity was greatest at relatively low temperatures, and longevity was significantly greater when individuals were provided with food. The second and third stage larvae and the pupa are described, as well as the sequence of visible changes occurring in parasitized host eggs. The egg stage of H. guttivitia should be sampled about 5–7 days after peak oviposition by the host, and eggs held for 4–6 days to obtain an accurate estimate of apparent mortality.
