“…Idiobiont endoparasitoids, such as Neochrysocharis formosa or Neochrysocharis okazakii Kamijo, also paralyse the host larva but lay the egg inside the larva, and the parasitoid larva feeds and pupates inside the host larva before emerging from the mine. Host feeding is strongly related to wasp fecundity and longevity (Zhang et al 2014;Cheng et al 2017). Female wasps locate and puncture smaller larvae in the leaf and then feed on the punctured larva that dies.…”

“…Diglyphus isaea is highly synovigenic, with an ovigeny index of 0.002 . Host feeding by D. isaea females resulted in prolonged survival and higher fecundity; each host meal yielded an extra 3.5 eggs per day and extended longevity by 0.78 days (Zhang et al 2014). A European strain is mass produced for augmentative biological control in glasshouses in Europe, the USA and Japan (Chow & Heinz 2004;van der Linden 2004;Hondo et al 2006).…”

The vegetable leafminer, Liriomyza sativae Blanchard, poses a risk to vegetable and nursery production in mainland Australia since established in Cape York in 2015. Effective control overseas depends on maximising the impact of natural enemies. Problems with polyphagous Liriomyza pest species typically result from the destruction of their parasitoids by excessive use of non‐selective insecticides. Field studies are reviewed to identify parasitoid species involved in the biological control of L. sativae in open‐air and glasshouse production internationally and to assess the current knowledge of parasitoids of agromyzids in Australia. Overseas, invading Liriomyza populations have frequently been exploited by endemic parasitoids (often found on non‐pest agromyzid species), and non‐crop hosts have played a role as reservoirs of these parasitoids. The few published Australian field studies on the occurrence of agromyzid flies and their parasitoids show a large community of wasps attacking agromyzids, with species mainly from the Eulophidae, Pteromalidae and Braconidae. The most abundant recorded species are two cosmopolitan eulophid species, Hemiptarsenus varicornis (Girault) and Diglyphus isaea (Walker), and four Australian species: two eulophid species, Zagrammosoma latilineatum Ubaidillah and Closterocerus mirabilis Edwards & La Salle, one pteromalid species, Trigonogastrella sp., and one braconid species, Opius cinerariae Fischer, for which there is little biological information. One deficiency in the known assemblage in Australia is the absence of parasitoids from the Eucoilinae (Hymenoptera: Figitidae), a subfamily with several abundant species attacking agromyzids overseas. The composition and impact of the endemic parasitoid assemblage in Australia on populations of L. sativae needs to be assessed adequately in the field before the importation of additional exotic parasitoid species is contemplated. Overseas, two species, D. isaea and Dacnusa sibirica Telenga, are reared commercially for augmentative biological control, although the relatively high cost of production has restricted their release to protected cropping situations. Knowledge gaps remain locally about the taxonomy, distribution, host range and life cycle of parasitoids, and their potential impact on L. sativae.

BACKGROUND Both arrhenotoky (sexual reproduction of females and asexual reproduction of males) and thelytoky (asexual reproduction of females) occur within the order Hymenoptera. The existence of both thelytokous and arrhenotokous strains within one species provides an opportunity to compare the biocontrol efficiency between two reproductive modes. The parasitoid Neochrysocharis formosa (Westwood) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) has thelytokous and arrhenotokous strains with sympatric distributions. This parasitoid is used to control invasive leafminers through feeding, stinging, and parasitization. To compare the biocontrol efficiency of the two strains, we analyzed life tables and host‐killing parameters of these two strains reared on the leafminer Liriomyza sativae Blanchard using the age‐stage, two‐sex life table and the CONSUME‐MSChart software. RESULTS Our results showed that the intrinsic rate of increase (r), finite rate of increase (λ), and net reproduction rate (R0) of the thelytokous strain were significantly higher than those of the arrhenotokous strain. The thelytokous females also performed better than the arrhenotokous females for the net host‐feeding rate, net host‐stinging rate, and net host‐killing rate, but not the finite parasitism rate. Conclusively, the finite host‐killing rate of the thelytokous strain (0.8720 ± 0.0516) was significantly higher than that of the arrhenotokous strain (0.5914 ± 0.0832). CONCLUSION We concluded that thelytokous N. formosa is a better candidate as a biocontrol agent than arrhenotokous N. formosa to control leafminers. Our results shed light on how to choose a better biocontrol agent for integrated pest management (IPM) based on biological control, especially for co‐occurring thelytokous and arrhenotokous parasitoids. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
