چکیده

the cypress tree mealybug, planococcus vovae (nasonov) (hem., pseudococcidae) is one of the most important pests of cypress trees, especially cupressus semprevirens fastigiata l. in iran. a survey was carried out to determine the natural enemies of cypress tree mea-lybug in tehran province, during 2004-2005. as a result of this study, 17 species of preda-tors, parasitoids and hyperparasitoids belonging to 10 families and 15 genera were col-lected and identified. among the natural enemies associated with p. vovae three species, coccidoxenoides perminutus girault (hym., encyrtidae), aprostocetus ceroplastae (girault) (hym., eulophidae) and pachyneuron bonum xu and li (hym., pteromalidae) were recorded here for the first time from iran. the diagnostic morphological character-istics of the newly recorded species are given here and illustrated. the host range and economic importance of its natural enemies are reviewed and discussed.

Molecular Evidence of Polyandry in the Citrus Mealybug, Planococcus citri (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae)

The occurrence of polyandry in Planococcuscitri, presumed by earlier observations of mating behavior, was confirmed using microsatellite genotyping of pools of over 400 eggs resulting from controlled crosses of one female with two males. The genetic contribution of both mated males was confirmed in 13 out of 43 crosses. In three crosses it was possible to determine that only the first male fert...
