The Courtship Call of Chrysopa Downesi Banks (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae): Its Evolutionary Significance

Pharmacophagy in green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae: Chrysopa spp.)?

Green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) are voracious predators of aphids and other small, soft-bodied insects and mites. Earlier, we identified (1R,2S,5R,8R)-iridodial from wild males of the goldeneyed lacewing, Chrysopa oculata Say, which is released from thousands of microscopic dermal glands on the abdominal sterna. Iridodial-baited traps attract C. oculata and other Chrysopa spp. males i...

The sperm centriole persists during early egg cleavage in the insect Chrysopa carnea (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae).

The giant centriole of the sperm of Chrsyopa carnea persists in the fertilized egg. The giant centriole appears together with a regular small centriole at one pole of the first cleavage spindle; two small centrioles are found at the other pole. During the subsequent divisions, the giant centriole appears either at one pole of one of the spindles, as in the first cleavage, or close to one inter-...

Rearing Lacewings, Chrysoperla carnea and Chrysopa oculata (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), on prepupae of Alfalfa Leafcutting Bee, Megachile rotundata (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae)

Lacewings are an important group of insect biological control agents. Protocols for rearing lacewings often require rearing of an additional insect species to be used as a diet, and this can be costly. Prepupae of alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata (F.), which are commercially available, inexpensive and can be stored, were evaluated as a larval diet of the lacewings, Chrysoperla carne...

Revision of the green lacewing subgenus Ankylopteryx (Sencera) (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae)

The Australasian and Oriental green lacewing subgenus Ankylopteryx (Sencera) Navás (Chrysopinae: Ankylopterygini) is examined and its diversity and placement among other members of the tribe Ankylopterygini is discussed. After study of specimens spanning the full distribution and anatomical range of variation for the subgenus, all prior putative species, resulting in the sole valid species are ...
