“…The mealybugs previously preserved in 75% ethanol were mounted on microscopic slides following the method described by Gullan (1984) and identified according to morphological characteristics of the adult female as described by Miller (1999) and Miller et al (2011). The hymenopterous parasitoids were identified using the keys by Noyes & Hayat (1994), the coccinellids were identified according to the keys by Gordon (1985), Araujo-Siqueira & Almeida (2006), and Costa et al (2008), and the chrysopids were identified by using the keys by Brooks & Barnard (1990).…”

“…Exoplectra species feed mainly on aphids and whiteflies (Costa et al 2008), but E. miniata (Germar) was observed feeding on extrafloral nectaries of Inga edulis Mart. (Fabales: Fabaceae) in Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Almeida et al 2011).…”

The coccinellid Tenuisvalvae notata (Mulsant) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) has been observed recently in association with the striped mealybug Ferrisia virgata Cockerell (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) and the false cochineal scale Dactylopius opuntiae Cockerell (Hemiptera: Dactylopiidae) in the semiarid region of Pernambuco, Brazil. The latter species are important pests of cotton and prickly pear, respectively. In this study, we tested the two scale insects as prey for T. notata. In addition, eggs of Anagasta kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) were tested as possible alternative prey for rearing T. notata. In this work, the survivorship, reproduction, and predation of T. notata were investigated. The coccinellid T. notata was able to complete development only on F. virgata with 83% larval and pupal viability. Females of T. notata fed F. virgata produced 7.6 eggs a day with an eclosion rate of 61.9%. No oviposition occurred while feeding on A. kuehniella eggs. The highest consumption rate of F. virgata occurred during the last larval instar. Our results support the use of T. notata as an agent for the biological control of F. virgata, a highly polyphagous pest worldwide.

ABSTRACT. Coeliaria Mulsant, 1850 is revised based on the external morphology and genitalia of the adults and is distinguished from the other Chnoodini by the following characters: dorsal surface pubescent; antenna 11-segmented; hypomera with rounded fovea; tibia flat and angulated; abdominal postcoxal line incomplete, recurved and with oblique line. A new species, Coeliaria castanea sp. nov., from Brazil, and two new combinations, are proposed: Coeliaria bernardinensis comb. nov. and C. luteicornis comb. nov., expanding the distribution of the genus to Bolivia and Paraguay.
