abstract the aphid parasitoids, aphidius colemnai viereck and a. matricariae (haliday) (hymenoptera: braconidae: aphidiinae) have high potential as the most effective biological control agents for controlling the cotton aphis aphis gossypii glover (hemiptera: aphididae). in this investigation, the effect of five constant temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 °c) on the reproductive parameters was...

The present paper represents a contribution to the knowledge of the taxonomy of Monoctonia Starý aphid parasitoids obtained using the barcoding region of the mitochondrial COI gene. We discuss the phylogenetic position of the genus within the subtribe Monoctonina, redescribe known species, and describe Monoctonia japonica sp. n. from Japan in the association Pemphigus matsumurai Monzen/Populus ...
