“…Tachinids have been used both in agricultural and forest areas in more than 100 biological control programs over the last century (Grenier, 1988). Getting benefit from tachinids within the framework of biological control programs requires determination of natural habitats of species, explaining their biology, illuminating host-parasitoid relations and determining their effectiveness in nature.…”

“…Many of their hosts are significant pests of cultivated crops. Most species parasitize lepidopteran larvae, other hosts are ranged as the orders Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Orthoptera and Diptera according to their importance (Grenier, 1988;Stireman et al, 2006). Kara & Tschorsnig (2003) prepared a detailed catalog containing tachinid hosts identified in Turkey.…”

Tachinid (Diptera: Tachinidae) parasitoids of the lucerne beetle, Gonioctena fornicata (Brüggemann, 1873) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), with a new parasitoid record and their parasitism ratesYonca yaprak böceği, Gonioctena fornicata (Brüggemann, 1873) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)'nın yeni bir parazitoit kaydı ile Tachinid (Diptera: Tachinidae) parazitoitleri ve parazitleme oranları Turgut ATAY 1* AbstractThe lucerne beetle, Gonioctena fornicata (Brüggemann, 1873) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a serious pest of lucerne. In this study, tachinid (Diptera: Tachinidae) parasitoids of G. fornicata, and their parasitism rates were investigated at one location in Tokat Province, Turkey during 2016 and 2017. For this purpose, the lucerne beetle larvae were collected from an lucerne field and reared in the laboratory. Two tachinid species were obtained from the reared larvae. The species were Meigenia mutabilis (Fallén, 1810) and Macquartia tenebricosa (Meigen, 1824) (Diptera: Tachinidae). Macquartia tenebricosa was recorded first time as parasitoid of G. fornicata. The number and sex of the emerged parasitoids were recorded daily. The parasitism rates were 3.61% and 1.07% during 2016, and 3.69% and 0.50% in 2017, for M. mutabilis and M. tenebricosa, respectively. Based on these data, it was concluded that M. mutabilis is more effective parasitoid of G. fornicata. This paper reports for the first time detailed information on the natural enemies of G. fornicata and their effectiveness both on Turkey and worldwide.

Bu maksat için yonca yaprak böceğinin larvaları yonca arazisinden toplanarak laboratuvarda kültüre alınmıştır. Tachinidae familyasına ait iki tür tespit edilmiş olup bunlar, Meigenia mutabilis (Fallén, 1810)

“…Tachinid flies (Diptera: Tachinidae) are important natural enemies of insect pests, especially lepidopterous insects, and have often been used in biological control (Grenier, 1988). They are koinobiont parasitoids, attacking in most cases larval hosts, and can be found in most habitats (Stireman et al, 2006).…”

Tachinid flies are important for biological control of pests, because most species are parasitoids of insects. The objectives of this work were 1) to describe the species of tachinid flies captured by mass trapping devices against the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, in olive groves in Central Spain, and 2) to report on the selectivity of the different devices for this important group of insects. The study was carried out in two olive groves in the province of Madrid ResumenTaquínidos (Diptera) capturados en trampas para trampeo masivo de Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae) en olivares del centro de España Los taquínidos son importantes para el control biológico de plagas, ya que en su mayoría son parasitoides de insectos. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron: 1) describir las especies de taquínidos capturados por dispositivos de trampeo masivo para la mosca del olivo, Bactrocera oleae, en olivares del centro de España, y 2) conocer la selectividad de los distintos dispositivos para este grupo de insectos. El estudio se llevó a cabo durante 2005 y 2008 en dos olivares de la provincia de Madrid. Se emplearon cinco dispositivos de trampeo masivo en 2005 y doce en 2008. El número total de especies de taquínidos capturadas fue 66. Algunas de ellas se comentan en detalle en virtud de su especial interés. Se cita por primera vez la presencia en la Península Ibérica de tres especies de taquínidos (Clemelis massilia, Schembria meridionalis y Ceromya flaviseta). Es destacable que el 72,3% de las capturas en 2008 fue de C. massilia. La comparación de los diferentes dispositivos de trampeo masivo indica que ninguno de ellos es selectivo para este importante grupo de parasitoides. El número de taquínidos capturados por trampa y temporada varió entre 1 y 13 en 2005, y entre 24 y 283 en 2008. Este es el primer estudio llevado a cabo en España sobre taquínidos capturados por dispositivos de trampeo masivo e indica la abundancia y diversidad de especies de estos insectos en los olivares, así como la pobre selectividad del trampeo masivo frente a ellos.

“…Overall, the Tachinidae are considered beneficial, as most species are primary parasitoids of plant pests. Many tachinids have been used successfully in biological control programs (Grenier, 1988;Stireman et al, 2006). Although the history of studies on Tachinidae fauna is not very long in Turkey, there have been a number of detailed studies about the family (Doğanlar, 1982a(Doğanlar, , 1982bKara, 1999aKara, , 1999bKara, , 2001aKara, , 2001bKara, , 2002Kara and Alaoğlu, 2002;Kara and Tschorsnig, 2003;Kara et al, 2010;Atay and Kara, 2014).…”
