“…Neoseiulus californicus shows adaptations for living in spider mites colonies with heavy webbing, and this species belongs to the type II selective predators of tetranychid mites according to the classification of McMurtry et al (2013). This species has been widely used to control TSSM (Canlas et al 2006; Barbosa & de Moraes 2015;Liu et al 2016), but was not a suitable biological control agent for the thrips Caliothrips phaseoli Hood (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) (Toldi et al 2016).…”

Neoseiulus californicus and N. cucumeris are both potential candidates for the biological control of key pests in China. Whereas N. californicus has mainly been used to control spider mites, N. cucumeris has been released for the control of thrips and spider mites. To understand the potential of the combined use of N. californicus and N. cucumeris to suppress outbreaks of Tetranychus urticae, the predatory performance of these Neoseiulus species against different stages of T. urticae, either separately or in combination, was evaluated by assessing their functional responses in the laboratory. The values of the attack rate coefficient (α) of N. californicus to each stage of T. urticae exceeded those of N. cucumeris, whereas the handling time (Th) of N. californicus was longer than that of N. cucumeris, except when attacking the larvae of T. urticae. Especially at the higher prey densities, N. cucumeris consumed more eggs per day than N. californicus, whereas N. californicus consumed more larvae. Both predators killed similar numbers of nymphs at each density when tested singly. The searching efficiency of the Neoseiulus species decreased with increasing prey densities, and for all stages of T. urticae, the searching efficiency of the Neoseiulus species tested singly was lower than when they were tested together. The study indicates the potential of mixed releases of N. californicus and N. cucumeris for the management of spider mite infestations.

“…There are also records of them feeding on Apocynaceae and Convolvulaceae leaves (Silva et al, 1968). Studies on Brazilian species have mainly focused on P. vulgaris (Jesus et al, 2010;Souza et al, 2012;Boiça Júnior et al, 2015) and G. max (Lima et al, 2013;Toldi et al, 2016). The species has also been reported on Mentha sp.…”

Termos para indexação: Entomologia florestal Mudas TripesResumo -This study aimed to register the occurrence of phyllophagous insects attacking seedlings of Apuleia leiocarpa (Vogel) J. F. Macbr. (grapia), a native species to Brazil, which is on the red list of endangered native flora in Rio Grande do Sul State. In February 2012, adults of the pest Caliothrips phaseoli were identified causing damage to the leaves of 168 two-year-old grápia seedlings (mean stem diameter = 2.3 cm; mean height = 22.5 cm) in Santa Maria, RS. This is the first record of the occurrence of Caliothrips phaseoli in Apuleia leiocarpa seedlings in Brazil.

“…Due to its economic significance, this species has been the focus of both taxonomic and ecological research in many countries across the world (e.g. Oatman et al, 1977;Raworth et al, 1994;Gotoh et al, 2004;Tixier et al, 2008;Mendel & Schausberger, 2011;Xu et al, 2013;Döker et al, 2016;Song et al, 2016;Toldi et al, 2016;Khanamani et al, 2017;Zheng et al, 2017). However, there remains an element of confusion as to the true identity of this animal (Griffiths, 2015).…”

In 1954, McGregor described two species of phytoseiids from lemon, in California, USA: Typhlodromus californicus McGregor and T. mungeri McGregor, the former represented by one male, and the latter by two females. Since its description, T. mungeri was synonymised under T. californicus, and the name T. (now Neoseiulus) californicus has been used extensively to represent a species that is now commonly used as a biocontrol agent of crop pests worldwide. However, the true identity of the biocontrol agent is uncertain because the original descriptions of T. californicus and T. mungeri were not adequate enough to allow an irrefutable identification, with each description being based on specimens of a single sex. An examination of the types of N. californicus and N. mungeri revealed that they are morphologically identical to the male and female of N. barkeri Hughes, 1948, respectively, and that they are in fact junior synonyms of N. barkeri-and are therefore distinct from the biocontrol agent globally called N. californicus (sensu Athias-Henriot, 1977; see Griffiths, 2015). This is further supported by a comparison with male and female syntypes of N. barkeri, as well as other specimens of N. barkeri including some collected from the type host in the vicinity of the type location (i.e. lemon in southern California, 1952California, -1958. We redescribe the male and female of both N. barkeri and N. californicus sensu Athias-Henriot (1977), based on representative specimens from at least 14 and 19 populations, respectively. Based on examination of types, we confirm the synonymy of N. mckenziei (Schuster & Pritchard, 1963), N. picketti (Specht, 1968), and N. oahuensis (Prasad, 1968) with N. barkeri, and that the names N. chilenensis (Dosse, 1958b) and N. wearnei (Schicha, 1987) represent the same species as N. californicus sensu Athias-Henriot (1977). We also provide a hypothesis as to why Chant (1959) had erroneously synonymised T. californicus and T. mungeri under T. marinus (Willmann). Finally, we suggest maintaining the prevailing usage of the name N. californicus (McGregor) for the species concept of Athias-Henriot (1977) as followed by subsequent authors, through submission of a separate application to the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). In the meantime, the current meaning of N. californicus should be maintained until a ruling by the ICZN is made on the application.
