Important life history parameters of the mealybug, Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green), were characterized on hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L.) cuttings at six constant temperatures between 15 and 35 degrees C. The development of M. hirsutus was the fastest at 27 degrees C, where the mealybugs completed development in approximately 29 d. The lower (T(min)) and upper (T(max)) developmental thres...

Abstract The absence of natural enemies in newly invaded areas is a key factor the successful invasion alien species. Whether specific parasitoid can be domesticated to attack nonnatural host that has no reported parasitic invasive remains unclear. Here, we analyzed two mealybugs (PSS- Phenacoccus solenopsis and PSI- solani ) P. ( Aenasius arizonensis verify this hypothesis under laboratory con...
