Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur, 1839) is recorded for the first time in New Zealand. Viable adult M. pygmaeus were collected in the field in Auckland, in 2007, indicating that the species had already established itself in this country. The biology of M. pygmaeus is briefly discussed in the light of its potential economic benefits to growers of vegetable crops affected by whitefly (Aleyrodidae). T...

The sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a major pest of economically important crops worldwide. Both the United Kingdom (UK) and Finland hold Protected Zone status against this invasive pest. As a result B. tabaci entering these countries on plants and plant produce is subjected to a policy of eradication. The impact of B. tabaci entering, and becoming e...

The sweetpotato whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) continues to be a serious threat to crops worldwide. The UK holds Protected Zone status against this pest and, as a result, B. tabaci entering on plant material is subjected to a policy of eradication. Both B and Q Bemisia biotypes are now regularly intercepted entering the UK. With increasing reports of neonicotinoid ...

Aphids, which feed solely on plant phloem sap, have developed symbiotic associations with bacteria that provide themwith the amino acids that are lacking in phloem. Three soybean aphid (Aphis glycinesMat samura) populations were screened for the presence of Buchnera aphidicola and three common species of secondary aphid symbionts (Serratia symbiotica, Hamiltonella defensa, and Regiella insectic...

There are several types of spider mites, some which specialized to feed on certain crops, and they a major nuisance in agriculture. Predatory insects such as golden-eyes, semi-hardwings, cockroaches, predatory can successfully reduce the number mites. The type crop particular mite species have an impact how successful these predators are. Spider mites frequently encountered agricultural pest, t...

Encarsia formosa Gahan (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) is a solitary endoparasitoid that is commercially reared and released for augmentative biological control of whiteflies infesting greenhouse crops. In most areas in China, the invasive and destructive whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) biotype Q has replaced B. tabaci biotype B and has become dominant between the two. A...

More than half of whiteflies (Aleyrodidae) species are distributed in the tropics. In Colombia, taxonomic survey this group has been neglected for almost three decades. This situation causes limitations study basic and applied entomology these sap-sucking insects, which considerable importance agriculture as they affect an extensive number cultivated wild plants. work, we provide six new record...
