Evaluation of Artemia sp. (Branchiopoda, Artemiidae) as an alternative prey for laboratory rearing of Tupiocoris cucurbitaceus (Hemiptera: Miridae), a predator of horticultural pests

Tupiocoris cucurbitaceus (Spinola) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a predator of whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) present in several American countries. Rearing this bug requires the use of plants as ovipositional substrate and a prey to feed on to complete its development. Artemia sp. (Branchiopoda, Art...

Rearing this bug requires the use of plants as ovipositional substrate and a prey to feed on to complete its development. Artemia sp. (Branchiopoda, Artemiidae) cyst, a crustacean tested for the laboratory rearing of other hemipteran species, could be used as food, being less expensive than the species commonly employed (Sitotroga cerealella [Olivier] [Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae]). The objective of the present study was to determine nymphal developmental time, nymphal mortality, fertility, and sex ratio of T. cucurbitaceus fed on Artemia sp. cysts. Three diets were used during the rearing of three generations: S. cerealella eggs, Artemia sp. cysts and a mix of both species. The nymphal developmental time (11 to 13 days), nymphal mortality (40 to 66 %), and adult fertility (74 to 101 nymphs / female) were similar for all diets. In all cases, the adults showed a high female proportion (0.67-0.97). In conclusion, Artemia sp. cysts are suitable for T. cucurbitaceus laboratory rearing at least for three generations. Tupiocoris cucurbitaceus (Spinola) (Hemiptera: Miridae) es un predador de moscas blancas (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) presente en varios países de América. La cría de este insecto requiere el uso de plantas como sustrato de oviposición y una presa como alimento para completar su desarrollo. Cistos de Artemia sp. (Branchiopoda, Artemiidae), crustáceo evaluado para la cría en laboratorio de otras especies de hemípteros, podría utilizarse como alimento alternativo, siendo menos costoso que el empleado habitualmente (huevos de Sitotroga cerealella [Olivier] [Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae]). El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar el tiempo de desarrollo y la mortalidad ninfal, la fertilidad y la proporción de sexos de T. cucurbitaceus alimentados con cistos de Artemia sp. Se utilizaron tres dietas durante la cría de tres generaciones: huevos de S. cerealella, cistos de Artemia sp. y una mezcla de ambas especies. El tiempo de desarrollo ninfal (11 a 13 días), la mortalidad ninfal (40 a 66 %) y la fertilidad (74 a 101 ninfas / hembra) fueron similares con todas las dietas. En todos los casos, los adultos mostraron una alta proporción de hembras (0,67-0,97). En conclusión, los cistos de Artemia sp. son adecuados para criar T. cucurbitaceus en laboratorio, al menos durante tres generaciones.
