“…This study highlights the value of DNA barcoding in the identification and delineation of species in Hymenoptera (Stahlhut et al 2013). Overall, this research expands the barcoding sequence database for parasitoids and hyperparasitoids and provides a foundation for additional molecular studies aimed to a better understanding of the biocontrol services provided by parasitoids (Gariepy et al 2007;Ye et al 2017;Halim et al 2018).…”

Halyomorpha halys is an invasive, widespread stink bug for which only short-term solutions are currently available for pest control worldwide. The need for long-term management solutions for H. halys has driven studies on augmentative and classical biological control of this species, especially by its egg parasitoids. Numerous investigations in Asia, USA, and Europe on native and exotic egg parasitoids of H. halys, and the effects on non-target pentatomids, have improved the global knowledge of parasitoid-host relationships, uncovered new associations, and led to the discovery of new species. This trend continues with Acroclisoides sinicus, a pteromalid that was described in the 1980's from Asia. In this work we report recent findings of this species in North America and Europe. Moreover, we propose that Acroclisoides solus syn. nov., a species described originally from the USA, is conspecific with A. sinicus based on morphological and molecular analysis.

“…Chemical insecticides application through trunk injection technique, ground spraying technique, and aerial spraying includes the use of trichlorfon, cypermethrin, methamidophos, and monocrotophos [ 14 ]. The use of biopesticides, such as Bacillus thuringiensis ( Bt ) [ 15 , 16 ], endoparasitoid [ 17 ], and pheromone mass trapping as a biological control [ 18 ] have been reported. Despite these efforts, effective control with economical benefits and safer choice is yet to be found.…”

Bagworm, Metisa plana (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) is a ubiquitous insect pest in the oil palm plantations. M. plana infestation could reduce the oil palm productivity by 40% if it remains untreated over two consecutive years. Despite the urgency to tackle this issue, the genome and transcriptome of M. plana have not yet been fully elucidated. Here, we report a comprehensive transcriptome dataset from four different developmental stages of M. plana, comprising of egg, third instar larva, pupa and female adult. The de novo transcriptome assembly of the raw data had produced a total of 193,686 transcripts, which were then annotated against UniProt, NCBI non-redundant (NR) database, Gene Ontology, Cluster of Orthologous Group, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes databases. From this, 46,534 transcripts were annotated and mapped to 146 known metabolic or signalling KEGG pathways. The paper further identified 41 differentially expressed transcripts encoding seven genes in the chitin biosynthesis pathways, and their expressions across each developmental stage were further analysed. The genetic diversity of M. plana was profiled whereby there were 21,516 microsatellite sequences and 379,895 SNPs loci found in the transcriptome of M. plana. These datasets add valuable transcriptomic resources for further study of developmental gene expression, transcriptional regulations and functional gene activities involved in the development of M. plana. Identification of regulatory genes in the chitin biosynthesis pathway may also help in developing an RNAi-mediated pest control management by targeting certain pathways, and functional studies of the genes in M. plana.

“…Thereinto, Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) initiated scientific research activities using COI for species identification on a global scale, and the data showed that the COI sequences of most species exhibited low intraspecific genetic differences and relatively high interspecific genetic differences (Schindel et al 2005;Ratnasingham et al 2007;CBOL Plant Working Group 2009). Research data in recent years have also reflected that the similarity of the same species is above 98%, and the sequence difference between species is greater than 2% ( Hebert et al 2010;Zhang et al 2011;Schmid-Egger et al 2017;Abd-El-Samie et al 2018;Halim et al 2018;Fernandez-Triana et al 2019). So, in our work, the intraspecific and interspecific differences of COI between A. diffinis and A. radiatum are analyzed.…”

In this study, Halysituberosus Dong & Wang, 2017 is treated as a synonym of Allorhynchium van der Vecht, 1963 (syn. nov.). Halysituberosus yingjiangensis Dong & Wang, 2017 is a new synonym of Allorhynchium lugubrinum (Cameron, 1900) (syn. nov.) and Halysituberosus menglianensis Dong & Wang, 2017 is transferred to Allorhynchium as a new combination (comb. nov.). Based on additional COI gene sequencing and morphological characters including genitalia characters, both Allorhynchium diffinis (Giordani Soika, 1986) and Allorhynchium radiatum Li, Barthélémy & Carpenter, 2019 are confirmed to be valid species, and their males of the two species are described for the first time. Allorhynchium quadrimaculatum Gusenleitner, 1997 is newly recorded from China. A key to the Chinese species of Allorhynchium are also updated.
