摘要: Abstract Biological traits of a prospective candidate for biological control the glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS), Homalodisca coagulata (Say) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), in United States are herein reported. The mymarid wasp, Gonatocerus tuberculifemur (Ogloblin), is an egg-parasitoid native to Argentina and its first known host Tapajosa rubromarginata (Signoret), species related GWSS. Laboratory studies were made Tucuman Buenos Aires Provinces, Argentina. Seven generations maintained laboratory, only one adult emerged per egg. average parasitism rate was 71.6% total eggs. Although eggs all ages (4 190 h old) parasitized, wasps did not emerge from over 96 old. percentage wasp emergence 66.5% between 4 72 Over seven that G. reared, ranged 55-84%. This increased as parasitoid progressed. duration dev...
