abstract

this paper is an attempt to fill all of previous literature of coccinellidae records and species distribution in different provinces of iran. distribution was extracted for each species from literatures. there are 6 subfamilies, 16 tribes, 32 genus and 117 species in iran. the largest subfamily, tribe and genus in iran were scymninae, scymnini and scymnus, respectively. the most distribution was for species hippodamia variegate (goeze), coccinella septempunctata l., oenopia conglobata l., chilocorus bipustulatus l. and adalia bipunctata l.

Susceptibility of lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) to entomopathogenic nematodes.

We investigated differential susceptibility of lady beetles to entomopathogenic nematodes, for two reasons: (1) to estimate potential nontarget effects on natural lady beetle populations, (2) to compare the susceptibility of exotic versus native lady beetle species. We hypothesize that successful establishment of some exotically introduced arthropods may be due, in part, to a lower susceptibili...

Predation by adult and larval lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) on initial contact with lady beetle eggs.

Naïve adults and larvae of the native lady beetles Coleomegilla maculata (DeGeer), Cycloneda munda (Say), Hippodamia convergens Guérin-Méneville, Olla v-nigrum (Mulsant), and the exotic lady beetle Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) were tested for their initial response to eggs of these five lady beetle species and for egg consumption on first contact and after 3 h. Additio...

Effect of Lures and Colors on Capture of Lady Beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in Tedders Pyramidal Traps.

Purposeful attraction and aggregation of adult Coccinellidae at target sites would be useful for sampling purposes and pest suppression. We field-tested 1) lures in yellow and black pyramidal traps and 2) pyramidal traps that had been painted one or two colors (without lures) to determine if lures or trap color affected capture of adult Coccinellidae. In only one experiment with lures did a sin...

A checklist of stag beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea: Lucanidae) from Iran.

An updated checklist of the Lucanidae (Coleoptera) from Iran is given. New locality records are listed and some dubious distributional records are discussed. Dorcus vavrai Nonfried, 1905 is placed in synonymy with Dorcus peyronis Reiche and Saulcy, 1856 (new synonymy) The female of Lucanus xerxes Král, 2004 is described. A key for the identification of the Iranian stag beetle species is also pr...

Larval life history responses to food deprivation in three species of predatory lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae).

We studied life history responses of larvae of three coccinellid species, Coleomegilla maculata (DeGeer), Hippodamia convergens Guerin-Meneville, and Harmonia axyridis (Pallas), when deprived of food for different periods of time during the fourth stadium. The coccinellid species did not differ in starvation resistance when larvae were starved throughout the stadium; however, for larvae fed onl...

Aggregation of Lady Beetles on the Shores of Lakes (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Aggregations of lady beetles, predominately Hippodamia convergens and H . tredecimpunctata, were commonly observed on the shores of lakes in the Upper Midwest during the autumn and spring. The beetles remain on the shore for only a short time, usually dispersing within 2-3 weeks. Lady bettles from autumn shore aggregations and overwintering aggregations are characterized by the presence of larg...
