It was determined that the dry males of Planococcus citri, and Pseudococcus comstocki, collected by pheromone traps could be useful for the molecular analyses too. The ITS-2 sequences of males and females in case of Pl.citri, Planococcus ficus and Ps. comstocki were identical. This molecular method could differentiate the two mealybug species and this method can be useful to have idea specimens collected by pheromone traps. Riassunto-Uso degli strumenti molecolari per l'identificazione di maschi di cocciniglie (Hemiptera: Coccoidea), in trappole a feromoni utilizzate per monitoraraggio e comparazione con le femmine. Sono state prese in considerazione specie appartenenti alla famiglia degli Pseudococcini. e' stato visto che maschi essiccati di Planococcus citri, e Pseudococcus comstocki, raccolti da trappole a feromoni possono essere utilizzati anche per analisi molecolari. La sequenza ITS-2 di maschi e femmine di P.citri, Planococcus ficus e P. comstocki è identica. Questo metodo molecolare può differenziare le due specie di cocciniglie e può essere utile per avere un'idea delle specie raccolte in trappole a feromoni.

The results suggest that some of the parameters for P. cryptus populations were affected by the species of citrus, and that C. limon was the preferred host plant. The population parameters on C. limon were determined as rm = 0.1526 d-1; R0 = 65.8 offspring/individual and T0 = 27.4 days.

D.A. Downie & P.J. Gullan undertook the first molecular phylogenetic study of the group, and recognised three major clades which more or less equated to the Pseudococcinae, Phenacoccinae and Rhizoecinae. More recently, N.B Hardy and co-workers did a similar large study with more taxa, and included a morphological data matrix based on the adult female, adult males and first-instar nymphs; their results were broadly similar to those of Downie & Gullan except they found that the Rhizoecinae were included within the Phenacoccinae. Since this latter study, the Rhizoecinae has been recognized as a separate family, Rhizoecidae, and is used as an outgroup in this study. Both previous studies used mainly Nearctic, Tropical and Australian species in their analysi...

The study was conducted in five walnut orchards in the Adilcevaz county in Bitlis (three orchards) and Gevaş county in Van (two orchards), during the growing seasons of 2005-2006. Surveys were carried out in every week from May to November. The results of study indicated that the population densities of mites began to increase generally in early July, reached the maximum level at late July and at early August and preserved to late October. In this period, the population densities of Aceria erinea Nalepa (Acari: Eriophyidae) and Eotetranychus carpini (Oudemans) (Acari: Tetranychidae) were determined as 51.9 galls/leaf and 304.1 mites/leaf, respectively. Euseius finlandicus (Oudemans) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) was the most effective predatory mite on E. carpini and A. erinea and it was observed that its population reached to 4.5 mites/leaf. In the sprayed orchard, E. finlandicus population was not enough for controlling mites and the population densities remained at very low levels.

Parasitized mealybug specimens were collected from ornamental, cultivated and wild plants and to obtain parasitoids, put into controlled environment room and adult emergence was monitored. Sixteen species of parasitoids were recorded, one of which belongs to the family Aphelinidae and 15 to the family Encyrtidae. One genus and nine species were newly recorded for the Turkish fauna. Two species, Anagyrus kilinceri Japoshvili sp. nov. and Charitopus eristoi Japoshvili sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), are described as new species.
