Pachycondyla obscuricornis as natural enemy of the spittlebug Deois flavopicta

Abstract: -The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential control of the ant Pachycondyla obscuricornis Emery (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on populations of nymphs of the spittlebug, Deois flavopicta Stal (Hemiptera: Cercopidae). Foraging behavior and prey consumption rate of P. obscuricornis were evaluated. Field data revealed that P. obscuricornis does not show aggressive behavior against individuals of the same species, when they are not carrying a prey; they can patrol distances larger than 10 m searching for… Show more

“…Lepidoptera larvae have been recorded as prey for N. verenae previously by Longino (2010), also serving as food for other Neoponera species, as Neoponera apicalis (Latreille) (Fresneau, 1985). N. obscuricornis were observed preying on Hemiptera nymphs (Sujii et al, 2004), however predation on Membracidae is something new, being known only in other groups of poneromorph ants (Arias-Penna, 2008), the same can be said in relation to the capture of apid bees (Arias-Penna, 2008;Ostwald et al, 2018) and other hymenopterans as ants (Arias-Penna, 2008;Tofolo et al, 2011).…”

“…There are information of the occurrence of other natural enemies such as the egg parasitoids Anagrus urichi Pickles, 1932 andAcmopolynema hervali Gomes, 1948 (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae;Marques and Vilas Boas, 1985;Valério and Oliveira, 2005); the nymph predator Pachycondyla obscuricornis Emery, 1890 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae; Sujii et al, 2004); the adult predators Leptrotrachelus sp. (Coleoptera: Carabidae) and Porasilus barbiellini Curran, 1934 (Diptera: Asilidae;Bueno, 1987).…”

“…Los registros bibliográficos mencionan la presencia en América del Sur de depredadores de huevos y ninfas para la familia Cercopidae; en Colombia y Brasil, mencionan a Salpingogaster nigra (Diptera: Syrphidae) y a hormigas generalistas (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) como los principales depredadores, atacando a diferentes especies (Marques, 1988;Ryoiti Sujii et al, 2004). A pesar del esfuerzo realizado para detectar este tipo de antagonistas en el norte argentino, no se identificaron especies que demostraran ese tipo de comportamiento sobre las especies de Cercopidae objeto de este estudio.…”

“…Hallazgos posteríores fueron hechos para especies de la familia Aphrophoridae, por Weber (1930), quien informó de un nematodo no identificado afectando a Aphrophora salicis (Degeer), en Europa; y Weaver & King (1954) identificaron a Agamermis decaudata Cobb (Mermithidae) parasitando a Philaenus spumarius (L.) en Ohio (EUA). Poinar & Linares (1985) (Marques, 1988;Ryoiti Sujii et al, 2004). S. nigra es una mosca que en su estado larval se alimenta de las ninfas de salivazo y, debido a que se ha registrado para Colombia y otros países de América (Trinidad, México y Brasil), donde ha sido reconocida como un enemigo natural de todas las especies de salivazo de la raíz y de los pastos (Mendoça, 2005), en Colombia se ha intentado su cría para utilizarla como un controlador (Lastra et al, 2007).…”
