Predation by Coccinellidae on Glycaspis brimblecombei (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae) eggs
2025
Overview
Abstract Exotic Eucalyptus spp. are the most planted trees species in forest cultivation in Brazil. The red gum lerp psyllid Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae), an invasive exotic pest, reduces the development and wood production of Eucalyptus spp. plantations. The search for natural enemies targeting the egg life stage is beneficial for the integrated pest management of G. brimblecombei. The objective of this work was to test a range of Coccinellidae species that potentially prey on G. brimblecombei eggs. Cycloneda sanguinea Linnaeus, Eriopsis conexa Germar, Harmonia axyridis Pallas, Hippodamia convergens Guerin-Meneville, Jaguarita conjugata Mulsant and Olla v-nigrum Mulsant (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), reported to be associated with G. brimblecombei infestations, were evaluated. Newly emerged adults of O. v-nigrum and J. conjugata preyed on G. brimblecombei eggs, unlike C. sanguinea, E. conexa, H. axyridis and H. convergens. Predation of eggs by O. v-nigrum was highest, with a mean of 1,016 in 24 hours. These results, evaluating a range of Coccinellidae as predators of G. brimblecombei eggs, confirm the high predation rate of G. brimblecombei eggs by O. v-nigrum and that this ladybug may be important in the integrated management of this pest. Resumo O gênero Eucalyptus ocupa a maior área plantada no setor florestal brasileiro com alta produtividade. O psilídeo de concha Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae), praga exótica, reduz o desenvolvimento e produção de madeira nesses plantios. A busca de inimigos naturais para a fase de ovos de G. brimblecombei é essencial para complementar o manejo integrado e quebrar o ciclo da praga. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a predação de ovos de G. brimblecombei por seis espécies de Coccinelidae. A predação de ovos de G. brimblecombei por Cycloneda sanguinea Linnaeus, Eriopsis conexa Germar, Harmonia axyridis Pallas, Hippodamia convergens Guerin-Meneville, Jaguarita conjugata Mulsant e Olla v-nigrum Mulsant (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), comumente associadas com infestações por essa praga, foi avaliada. Adultos recém emergidos de O. v-nigrum e J. conjugata predaram ovos de G. brimblecombei, mas isto não foi observado para C. sanguinea, E. conexa, H. axyridis e H. convergens. A predação de ovos, dessa praga, por O. v-nigrum foi maior em todas as avaliações, com 1.016 após 24 horas. Estes resultados são pioneiros na utilização de coccinelídeos no manejo de pragas do eucalipto. A maior predação de ovos de G. brimblecombei por O. v-nigrum indica que este predador pode ser importante para complementar o manejo integrado dessa praga.
