Abstract

A total of 2702 individuals representing nine species of Pteromalidae (Chalcidoidea) plus at least one species of Diapriidae, Trichopria haematobiae (Ashmead) (Diaprioidea), were reared as pupal parasitoids of filth-breeding flies in bovine manure during a 2-year study in northern Tamaulipas, Mexico. The Pteromalidae included two undescribed species of Spalangia Latreille plus Spalangia cameroni Perkins, S. drosophilae Ashmead, S. endius Walker, S. nigroaenea Curtis, Muscidifurax raptor Girault and Sanders, M. zaraptor Kogan and Legner, and Pachycrepoideus vindemiae (Rondani). Spalangia nigroaenea accounted for 71% of all the pupal parasitoids and all six Spalangia species for 94% of the parasitoids over the 2 years. Based on its preponderance, S. nigroaenea is recommended as a candidate for inundative releases within integrated pest management programs to help control fly pests of cattle in northeastern Mexico.

Résumé

Au cours d’une étude de deux ans dans le nord de l’état de Tamaulipas, Mexique, nous avons élevé à partir de fumier de bovins un total de 2702 parasitoïdes des pupes de mouches des immondices; ces individus représentent neuf espèces de Pteromalidae (Chalcidoidea), ainsi qu’au moins une espèce de Diapriidae, Trichopria haematobiae (Ashmead) (Diaprioidea). Les Pteromalidae comprennent deux espèces inédites de Spalangia Latreille en plus de Spalangia cameroni Perkins, S. drosophilae Ashmead, S. endius Walker, S. nigroaenea Curtis, Muscidifurax raptor Girault et Sanders, M. zaraptor Kogan et Legner et Pachycrepoideus vindemiae (Rondani). Spalangia nigroaenea constitue 71 % et les six espèces de Spalangia ensemble 94 % de tous les parasitoïdes des pupes obtenus au cours des deux années. À cause de cette prépondérance, nous recommandons de retenir S. nigroaenea comme candidat potentiel pour des libérations massives pour aider à contrôler les mouches nuisibles du bétail dans le cadre des programmes de lutte intégrée dans le nord-est du Mexique.
