Biological observations on Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann, 1910 (Hemiptera: Coreidae) in Turkey and contributions to its parasitoids and distribution

Abstract

In this study, parasitoid species of Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann, 1910 (Hemiptera: Coreidae), new localities of the species which were detected in Turkey and the biological observations in the field and in the laboratory were addressed. The species was detected in Isparta in 2016, in Burdur in 2017, and in Kastamonu, Bilecik, Afyonkarahisar and Muğla in 2018 for the first time. As a result of four-years (2016-2019) field observations, it was thought that the species has two generations per year. Overwintered adults laid eggs in June and five nymphal stages were completed in June-August in the field. The first adults of the first generation and eggs were seen at the beginning of August. Nymphal stages were completed in August-October, and adults of the second generation were seen in September and October. The mean duration of egg and total nymphal stages were found as 7,44 and 47,19 days under laboratory conditions. In this study, the parasitoids of the species Anastatus bifasciatus (Geoffroy, 1785) (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae) and Ooencyrtus telenomicida (Vassiliev) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) were determined for the first time in our country. O. telenomicida was identified as a parasitoid of L. occidentalis for the first time in the world.

Türkiye’de Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann, 1910 (Hemiptera: Coreidae) üzerine biyolojik gözlemler, parazitoitleri ve yayılışına katkılar

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann, 1910 (Hemiptera: Coreidae)’in ülkemizde yeni tespit edildiği alanlar, arazi ve laboratuvardaki biyolojik gözlemler ve parazitoit türleri verilmiştir. Tür, 2016 yılında Isparta’da, 2017’de Burdur’da, 2018 yılında ise Kastamonu, Bilecik, Afyonkarahisar ve Muğla illerinde ilk kez tespit edilmiştir. Dört yıllık (2016-2019) arazi gözlemleri sonucunda türün iki generasyona sahip olduğu düşünülmektedir. Arazide kışlayan erginler haziran ayı başında yumurta bırakmaya başlamış ve beş nimf dönemini haziran-ağustos aylarında tamamlamıştır. Ağustos ayı başında birinci generasyona ait ilk erginler ve yumurtalar görülmüştür. Nimf dönemleri ağustos-ekim aylarında tamamlanmış ve eylül-ekim aylarında ikinci generasyona ait erginler görülmüştür. Laboratuvar koşullarında yumurta ve toplam nimf dönemlerinin ortalama süreleri 7,44 ve 47,19 gün olarak bulunmuştur. Bu çalışma ile ülkemizde ilk kez türün parazitoitleri olarak Anastatus bifasciatus (Geoffroy, 1785) (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae) ve Ooencyrtus telenomicida (Vassiliev) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) belirlenmiştir. O. telenomicida, L. occidentalis’in parazitoiti olarak dünyada ilk kez tespit edilmiştir.
