Abstract

Host-handling behaviors of Eretmocerus mundus (Mercet) (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) toward first to fourth instar nymphs of the Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) B and Q biotypes and of Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) were compared under laboratory conditions. The host acceptance rates differed among host stages but not among host species or biotypes. In all host species and biotypes, the parasitoids stopped their host-handling behavior before oviposition more often with older hosts. The total host-handling time was longer for the fourth instars than for younger instars, mainly due to the longer oviposition times and probing times. E. mundus showed marking behavior for the B. tabaci B and Q biotypes, but not for T. vaporariorum. In conclusion, E. mundus could parasitize all whitefly biotypes and species used in this study, but both B. tabaci biotypes were more suitable hosts than T. vaporariorum. The younger instars were good oviposition targets in all hosts.
