“…Thus, 3 rd or 5 th instar larvae of cotton leaf worm were nutritionally suitable for development of reproductive structures of this predator. This is similar to that found by Adams (2000) that females needed adequate diets to synthesize sufficient vitellogenine to guarantee a high fecundity level. The central ovariole and the most developed oocyte were larger in females fed with 3 rd or 5 th instar larvae of cotton leaf worm and shorter in those fed with artificial diet.…”

“…Larger ovarian development of Apis mellifera (L.) fed with royal jelly than pollen was not due to the protein content of these diets but to the inability of the bees to digest proteins of pollen grains because they lack appropriate proteolytic enzymes (Lin and Winston 1998). Ovaries of P. nigrispinus were of telotrophicmeroistic type such as found for other heteropteran (Büning 1994, Simiczyjew et al 1998, Szklarzewicz 1998and Adams 2000. The seven ovarioles/ovary found is similar to that reported by Büning (1994) who pointed out that the number of ovarioles per ovary varied from four to seven in this group of insect.…”

“…The smallest number of oocytes per ovariole was found in ovaries of females fed with artificial diet. Adams (2000) reported that females of the pentatomid predator Perillus bioculatus (F.) fed with artificial diet showed reduction on the number of gonotrophic cycles per ovariole up to 50%. Similar tendency has been observed for females of P. nigrispinus fed on artificial diet what may explain the low rate of fecundity of this predator fed with this diet.…”

“…The lateral oviducts form the common oviduct. The reproductive tract of P. nigrispinus females was similar to that of other Heteroptera (ADAMS, 2000(ADAMS, , 2001KUGLER et al, 2006;LEMOS et al, 2005;WITTMEYER et al, 2001), with meroistic telotrophic ovaries ventrally located in the gut and involved by a tracheal net and fat body.…”

ABSTRACT. The Asopinae insects are generalist predators, and Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) is the most studied species of this group in Brazil. The objective was to study ovarian development, egg production and oviposition of mated and virgin P. nigrispinus females. Five 24-hours-old females were dissected and the ovaries were analyzed. Fifteen females of this predator were mated (T1), and another fifteen were individualized without mating (T2). The ovaries of five females per treatment were dissected and mature and immature eggs were counted. Five virgin females of P. nigrispinus at twenty days old were also analyzed. Twenty-four-hours-old P. nigrispinus females had low ovary development without the evidence of oocyte production. The females of the T1 had completely developed ovaries, with 22.67 ± 7.26 mature eggs and 31.33 ± 1.33 oocytes in the maturation process. Ovaries of females of T2 had a lower quantity of eggs in the early maturation stage (15 ± 1.73). Females of T2 that were dissected at day 20 had 28.33 ± 2.31 and 15 ± 1.96 mature and immature eggs, respectively. Podisus nigrispinus females begin oogenesis and egg maturation soon after their emergence but mating is important to maintain egg production and oviposition.Keywords: biological control, insect physiology, oogenesis, progeny, reproduction.RESUMO. Desenvolvimento ovariano, produção de ovos e oviposição de fêmeas virgens ou acasaladas do predador Podisus nigrispinus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae). Insetos Asopinae são predadores generalistas e Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) é a espécie mais estudada desse grupo no Brasil. O objetivo foi avaliar o desenvolvimento ovariano, a produção de ovos e a oviposição de fêmeas de P. nigrispinus virgens ou acasaladas. Cinco fêmeas com 24 horas de idade foram dissecadas e os ovários foram analisados. Quinze fêmeas desse predador foram acasaladas (T1) e outras 15 foram individualizadas sem acasalamento (T2). Os ovários de cinco fêmeas por tratamento foram dissecados e os ovos maduros e em formação foram contados. Cinco fêmeas virgens de P. nigrispinus com 20 dias de idade foram também analisadas. Fêmeas de P. nigrispinus com 24 horas de idade apresentaram baixo desenvolvimento ovariano, sem evidencia de produção de ovócitos. As fêmeas do tratamento T1 apresentaram ovários completamente desenvolvidos, com 22,67 ± 7,26 ovos maduros e 31,33 ± 1,33 ovos em processo de maturação. Ovários de fêmeas do tratamento T2 apresentaram uma quantidade baixa de ovos nos primeiros estágios de maturação (15 ± 1,73). Fêmeas do tratamento T2, dissecadas aos 20 dias, apresentaram 28,33 ± 2,31 e 15 ± 1,96 ovos maduros e imaturos, respectivamente. Fêmeas de P. nigrispinus iniciam a ovogênese e a maturação dos ovos logo após a emergência, porém o acasalamento é importante para manter a produção dos ovos e a oviposição.Palavras-chave: controle biológico, fisiologia de insetos, ovogênese, progênie, reprodução.

Problem statement: Brontocoris tabidus (Signoret) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) is a common and important species for the biological control of defoliating Lepidoptera caterpillars. Although it has a predatory feeding habit, this species make use of plant resources, which are essential for the maintenance of its population in laboratory colonies as well as in the field during periods of prey shortage. Thus B. tabidus has been considered an obligate zoophytophagous insect. However the impact of the age and herbivory on the morphology of the reproductive organs has been poorly studied in predatory Pentatomidae. The morphology of the reproductive tract of B. tabidus males with different ages and fed on different diets were analyzed. Approach: Nymphs of B. tabidus were maintained in the field with or without plants and fed on T. molitor pupae without plant (T 1 ); T. molitor pupae and Eucalyptus cloeziana plants (T 2 ); T. molitor pupae and Eucalyptus urophylla plants (T 3 ) or T. molitor pupae and guava plants (Psidium guajava L.) (T 4 ). Adults of B. tabidus obtained from each treatment were sexed in the first day of their emergence and thirty-six pairs were formed per treatment. Ten males of B. tabidus 15 and 21 days old, obtained in each treatment were dissected and the reproductive tract submitted to histological analyses. The total area of the testes of B. tabidus was measured and the data were submitted to the variance analysis and means between treatments were compared by the test of Newman-Keuls (p = 0.05). Results: The inner genitalia of B. tabidus males had red color and the testes with six follicles. Males 15 days old presented larger testes when fed on E. cloeziana (0.94 mm 2 ), E. urophylla (0.98 mm 2 ) or only T. molitor pupae (0.99 mm 2 ) than with guava plants (0.76 mm 2 ). Twenty-one days old B. tabidus males presented testes with similar size, independent of the diet. The testes follicles of B. tabidus had larger amount of spermatozoa with all diets and ages showing that the spermatogenesis process was completed. The testes of this predator showed similar histological characteristics with all diets. Conclusion: The herbivory change the morphology of the reproductive tract of B. tabidus males in field conditions resulting in testes with different sizes, but it does not affect the histology of the reproductive organ of this predator. Therefore, the food type supplied to B. tabidus males does not affect the spermatogenesis process in this natural enemy.
