Plant-aphids-parasitoid association (Homoptera: Aphidoidea; Hymenoptera: aphidiidae) in central area of Chile

Research was made in La Cruz (V Region) city area in Central Chile. Plant-aphid-parasitoid associations were determinated from samples taken in the field and reared in the laboratory. 12 parasitoid species and 35 aphid species were determined, associated with a number of plants. All the parasitoids...

Summary:Research was made in La Cruz (V Region) city area in Central Chile. Plant-aphid-parasitoid associations were determinated from samples taken in the field and reared in the laboratory. 12 parasitoid species and 35 aphid species were determined, associated with a number of plants. All the parasitoids species (except for those associated with Nothofagus) known from Chile were collected also in the model area. Host aphids represented common, broadly oligophagous species at the most. Following aphids were collected for the first time in Chile: Cinara cedri Mim., Myzus (Sciamyzus) cymbalariae (Stroyan), Neofoxoptera formosana (Tak.) and Nearctaphis bakeri (Cowen). Parasitoids were found to be rather effective in regulation populations of most of the aphid species (except. Aphis spiraecola Patch).); their oligophagus host range enabling the populations drifts in the course of seasonal host alternation is presumed to play an important role
