This is the first record of endoparasitic Hymenoptera Apanteles galleriae recorded from Apis cerana colonies in Korea. A simple rearing protocol was established to allow the morphology, mating behavior and infestation rate of A galleriae. In total, 55 lesser wax moth fresh cocoons were kept in the tissue culture test plate at room temperature (25.6 ± 1.5˚C, RH 21 ± 3.7%). The females were 3.4 ± 0.3 longer than male 3.3 ± 0.2. The male antenna was longer than females. The copulation lasts 24.4 ± 2.4 seconds. The larvae of A. galleriae were pupated inside the cocoons of lesser wax moth. Ninety percent of adults A. galleriae was successfully emerged from the lesser wax moth cocoons. A. galleriae can be used as bio-logical control in store and in live colonies to control lesser wax moth.

화랑곡나방 유충이 자유롭게 수직적 분포를 하도록 허용된 아크릴 실린더(지름 150 mm, 높이 85 mm, 현미 660 g 포함)에서 보리살이나 방고치벌 공격에 대응하는 화랑곡나방 유충의 행동반응을 용화장소 선택행동을 중심으로 평가하였다. 보리나방살이고치벌이 없을 때는 화랑곡 나방 유충의 용화가 표층(< 5 mm)에서 이루어졌으나 보리나방살이고치벌이 존재하는 경우 유충은 더 깊은 층에서 용화하였다. 보리나방살이고 치벌의 기주 탐색은 주로 표층에서(< 5 mm) 이루어 졌으며, 따라서 화랑곡나방 유충은 표층보다 깊은 층에서 용화함으로써 공격을 피할 수 있었다. 유충의 용화 장소 선택은 기생자의 공격에 대한 효과적인 방어 행동으로 판단되었다. 이러한 유충의 방어 행동은 보리나방살이고치벌의 수반응에는 영향을 미치지 않았는데, 이는 알려진 바대로 보리나방살이고치벌이 기주 유충 당 산란 수를 피공격 유충 수에 따라 조절하기 때문이라고 생각된다. 본 실험에서도 공격된 화랑곡나방 유충 수가 감소하면서 기주 유충 당 고치벌의 산란 수는 증가하였다.

Biological control of Aphis gossypii by natural enemies was carried out in watermelon from April to June. Aphidius colemani was released 3 times at rate of 2/㎡ to control A. gossypii(April 24, May 8, and May 22 in 2007). In A. colemani-released plots, A. gossypii showed low population density of ＜ 0.6 per leaf with the highest parasitism of 57.2%, and 2.0~10.6% in the percentage of leaves with aphids. In control, the population of A. gossypii kept on increasing from early May and reached 653.2/leaf on may 29.

Several species of the genus Aphidius are used in biological control programs against aphid pests throughout the world and their behavior and physiology are well studied. While the importance of sensory organs in their behavior is understood, their antennal structure remains largely unknown. In this study, the external morphology and distribution of the antennal sensilla on the antennal of both female and male adults of A. colemani were described using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Generally, the filiform antennae of males (1,515.2±116.5 ㎛) are longer than females (1,275.1±103.4 ㎛). Antennae of this species are made up of radicle, scape, pedicel and flagellomeres. Male and female antennae differed in the total number of flagellomeres as 15 in males and 13 in females. The result of SEM observation was characterization and grouping of seven types of receptors into morphological classes: Bohm bristles, Sensilla placodea, 2 types of S. coeloconica and S. trichodea, and S. basiconica as with a tip pore and with wall pores. In addition, the possible functions of the above sensilla types are discussed in light of previously published literature, mechanoreception (Bohm bristles, S. coeloconica Ⅰ & Ⅱ and S. trichodea) and chemoreception (S. placodea, S. basiconica type Ⅰ & Ⅱ).

Several species of the genus Aphidius are used in biological control programs against aphid pests throughout the world and their behavior and physiology are well studied. But despite knowing the importance of sensory organs in their behavior, their antennal structure is largely unknown. In this study, the external morphology and distribution of the antennal sensilla on the antennal of both female and male adults of A. colemani were described using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Generally, the filaform antennae of males (1,515.20±116.48 ㎛) are longer than females (1,275.06±116.42㎛). Antennae of this species is made up of scape, pedicel and flagellomeres. Male and female antennae differed in the total number of flagellomeres as 15 in males and 13 in females. Female and male antennae of A. colemani has samely seven types of sensilla. We classified sensilla placodea, Bohm bristles, 2 types of sensilla coeloconica, , 2 types of sensilla basiconica as with a tip pore and with wall pores, sensilla trichodea. In addition, the possible functions of the above sensilla types are discussed in light of previously published literature; mechanoreception(Bohm bristles, sensilla coeloconicaⅡ and sensilla trichodea) and chemoreception(sensilla coeloconicaⅠ, sensilla basiconicaⅠ,Ⅱ and sensilla placodea). Future studies on the functional morphology of the antennal sensilla of A. colemani using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) coupled with electrophysiological recordings will likely confirm the functions of the different sensilla identified in this study.

Reproductive incompatibility is an important factor to select a specific biological control agent for successful augmentation of the corresponding endogenous population. An endoparasitoid, Cotesia plutellae (Kurdjumov), is an effective control agent to diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) and has been known to be classified into two groups in terms of reproductive incompatibility. This study analyzed an Korean population of C. plutellae in terms of morphological characters and mitochondrial DNA marker, which did not match with either of two reproductive incompatibility groups. These results suggest that a Korean population of C. plutellae can be involved in a novel reproductive group. For any augmentation program of C. plutellae in Korea, reproductive incompatibility should be seriously considered to select a particular exotic population.

As the results achieved by the evaluation of toxicities on an aphid parasitoid, Aphidius colemani by 79 pesticides registered as horticultural pesticide and 4 adjuvants for pest control, 6 insecticides including a-cypermethrin, 13 fungicides including metalaxyl-M+mancozeb and 4 acaricides including bifenazate showed low toxicity against A. colemani adult. Low toxicity was showed in all the 4 adjuvants as well. In residual toxicity test from 40 pesticides which showed toxicity more than 50%, A. colemani was safe from 11 pesticides from the 3th day after treatment, 7 pesticides from the 5th day after treatment and 14 pesticides from the 7th day after treatment, respectively. But, chlorpyrifos-methyl, diflubenzuron+chlorpyrifos, etofenprox+diazinone and imidachloprid+chlorpyrifos showed high toxicities reaching 100%, 97.7%, 100% and 100% respectively, even from the 7th day after treatment. To evaluate the control effect by A. colemani against Myzus persicae in a greenhouse, A. colemani was released at parasitoid versus aphids rates of 1:50 and 1:100 when the population of M. persicae was 50 per plant. After release, aphids population remained steady for 20 days after release at the level of around 60 aphids per plant During the investigation, insecticides for thrips control and fungicides for powdery mildew control were treated, but didn"t affect the mummy forming of A. colemani. It may be suggested from these results that the selected insecticides, fungicides, acaricides and adjuvent could be incorporated into the integrated M. persicae management system with A. colemani on greenhouse cultivation.

An analysis of Lysiphlebus Foerster species reared from various field-collected aphid species determined the presence of probably trans-palearctic L. fabarum (Marsh.), L. testaceipes (Cress.) which is an accidentally introduced and established immigrant from North America, and L. koraiensis Stary sp. n., a native species of presumably broader distribution. Both parthenogenetic and biparental populations of L. fabarum were identified in Korea.

Three new species of aphid parasitoids and their host-plant associations are described: Pauesia koraiensis Stary(Cinara cembrae Inouye and C. sp. on Pinus koreaiensis), Pauesia holmani Stary(Cinara sp. and C. watanabei Inouye on Pinus koraiensis, and C. laricis Hartig on larix olgensis) and Pauesia gwangleungensis Stary(Cinara shinjii Inouye on Pinus parviflora).
