Reproductive biology of Fopius ceratitivorus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), an egg–larval parasitoid of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)
The reproductive biology of Fopius ceratitivorus Wharton, a recently discovered African parasitoid, was studied in quarantine in Hawaii to facilitate its mass production for biological control of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata. Mean longevity of host-deprived and ovipositing females was 17.3 ± 0.9 d and 16.2 ± 0.5 d, respectively. Ovarian maturation peaked at 61.6 mature eggs p...

A new gregarious larval-pupal endoparasitoid of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is described and illustrated: Aphaereta ceratitivorasp. n. (Braconidae: Alysiinae: Alysiini).
متن کاملResponse of the Egg-Larval Parasitoid, Fopius ceratitivorus Wharton (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to the Gall-Forming Tephritid Fly, Eutreta xanthochaeta (Diptera: Tephritidae)
We investigated the potential impact of the imported biological control agent Fopius ceratitivorus Wharton, on the non-target beneficial tephritid, Eutreta xanthochaeta on the lantana weed, Lantana camara. In a no-choice test, where the wasp was offered nothing but infested lantana weed, and in a choice test, where the wasp was offered both the non-target fly and its normal host, Ceratitis capi...
متن کاملBiological performance and potential of Fopius ceratitivorus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), an egg–larval parasitoid of tephritid fruit Xies newly imported to Hawaii
The host range and biological performance of Fopius ceratitivorus Wharton, a recently discovered African parasitoid, was studied in quarantine in Hawaii to determine its eYciency and safety for use as a biological control agent. Female F. ceratitivorus oviposits into eggs and only rarely in Wrst instars of the Mediterranean fruit Xy, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann). The three other extant fruit ...
متن کاملOviposition response and development of the egg-pupal parasitoid Fopius arisanus on Bactrocera oleae, a tephritid fruit fly pest of olive in the Mediterranean basin
To date, information is wanting with regard to the use of new exotic parasitoids against olive fruit fly, Bactrocera (=Dacus) oleae (Gmelin) (Diptera: Tephritidae), a serious pest of olives Olea europaea L., in the Mediterranean basin. We investigated the oviposition response and developmental biology on B. oleae of Fopius (=Biosteres) arisanus (Sonan) (=Opius oophilus Fullaway) (Hymenoptera: B...
