Abstract: Development and reproductive performance of Brontocoris tabidus (Signoret) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) fed with Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) larvae was evaluated. Duration of the nymphal phase of this predator was 31.2 days, with a 44.1% survival rate. Preoviposition and egg incubation periods and number of eggs/egg mass were 8.14 days, 5.6 days, and 45.4, respectively. B. tabidus presented 44.7% egg viability. Female longevity of this predator was 18.4 days. Results are discussed based on this prey … Show more

“…Eggs, immature and adults of this natural enemy are, frequently, found in plantations of Eucalyptus cloeziana and Eucalyptus urophylla, mainly, in outbreaks of defoliator caterpillars (Jusselino-Filho et al, 2003;Zanuncio et al, 2006), what shows its potential for programs of integrated pest management Zanuncio et al, 2006).…”

“…However, S. decastigmus showed higher survival for the embryonic period than these other predators. Probably longer periods of embryonic development is a characteristic of this species, because when the temperature was high, although this period decreased, it was still longer than those reported for other members of Pentatomidae at lower temperatures (Fernandes et al, 1996;Jusselino-Filho et al, 2003;Santos et al, 2004;Vacari et al, 2007).…”

“…The embryonic period of S. decastigmus was relatively long for rearing purposes; the duration of 8.57 days at 25 °C is longer than those reported for other members of Pentatomidae such as Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas) (4.00 days) (Vacari et al, 2007), Podisus distinctus (Dallas) (5.20 days) (Santos et al, 2004) and Brontocoris tabidus (Signoret) (3.50 days) (Fernandes et al, 1996) and 5.60 days (Jusselino-Filho et al, 2003). However, S. decastigmus showed higher survival for the embryonic period than these other predators.…”

“…are considered to be important biological control agents, particularly in Brazil (Zanuncio et al, 2002a). Over the past two decades, research has focused on rearing and release technologies with these insects for using (Jusselino-Filho et al, 2003;Lacerda et al, 2004;Torres et al, 2006).…”
