Abstract

The parasitoids of Anastatus acherontiae Narayanan, Subba Rao & Ramachandra bees are the parasitoid stage of the two-leaf moth, Streblote siva (Lefebvre) and the stinging butterfly egg, Acherontia atropos (L. ). The colonies of this parasitoid were composed of two-leaf mackerel eggs and were reared under a light-temperature period at 16 h at 26 ° C and 8 h at 18 ° C. The egg of A. acherontiae is elliptic and has a stem with 0. 654 ± 0. 004 mm. It has five larval instars. The average female adult insect length was 2. 678 ± 0. 014 mm. There was a significant difference between the lifespan of honey bees fed with water solution (109. 25 ± 1. 47 days) and the bees fed with water and host (21. 63 ± 0. 34 days). The developmental stage of the bee egg lasted 3. 80 ± 0. 12 days. Larval activity lasted until 25. 40 ± 0. 58 days for adult insects. The pupal stage of the bee lasted 9. 80 ± 0. 26 days. From hatching of A. acherontiae until hatching of adult wasps 37. 40 ± 0. 30 days. The average number of eggs laid was 60. 56 ± 1. 74 eggs. A. acherontiae bee in Bushehr has two to three overlapping generations per year. The activity started in early October and continued until December. The second generation of the bee parasitized the host spring in March. Overwintering occurred in the pre-hatching stage within the host egg and adult insect. Obtaining this valuable information is a step towards mass production of parasitoids and their use in bio-control programs. Anastatus acherontiae Narayanan, Subba Rao & Ramachandra is the native Egg parasitoid of Streblote siva (Lefebvre) and Acherontia atropos (L. ) in Bushehr, Iran. The A. acherontiae colony was originally established in 2017 from mass eggs of S. siva. These rearing containers were placed in an incubator set at a light/temperature cycle of L16h/26° C and D8h/18° C. The body of the egg is 0. 654± 0. 004 mm and it is elipsoidal and bears a stalk. The wasp has five larval instars. The average length of the female wasp is 2. 678± 0. 014 mm. There was a significant difference between the lifespan of females fed with honey water solution (109. 25± 1. 47 days) and females provided only with water and host (21. 63± 0. 34 days). The egg development was 3. 80± 0. 12 days. Development from larva to adult was 25. 40± 0. 58 days. The pupal stage lasted 9. 80± 0. 26 days. From the oviposition of A. acherontiae to the emergence of adult was 37. 3± 0. 30 days. The mean of eggs laid was 60. 56± 1. 74. A. acherontiae was able to complete 2 to 3 overlapping generations. In early October, the adult’ s wasps appear gradually and this trend continued until December. The second generation of the parasitoid wasp appeared in March and it attacked to the host's spring generations. The overwintering was as prepupa into host egg and adult wasp. The valuable data gained on the Biology and population dynamism of A. acherontiae could help in developing a release strategy of this parasitoid against S. siva.
