Abstract

Rearing experiments at different temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30°C) were made onOpius dissitus Muesebeck, a parasitoid ofLiriomyza trifolii (Burgess). Temperatures between 20 and 30°C were optimal for the development ofO. dissitus, which was able to adapt to relatively high temperatures despite its holarctic origin.

Résumé

Une étude au laboratoire sur l'influence de la température a montré que tous les stades deOpius dissitus Muesebeck supportent mal des températures inférieures à 20°C. Les températures comprises entre 20 et 25°C sont celles qui permettent à l'espèce d'avoir une activité biologique optimale.

Les femelles sont incapables de reconnaître une larve deLiriomyza trifolii (Burgess) parasitée par une autre femelle, ce qui entraîne un superparasitisme variant entre 6,5 et 16,3% suivant la température.
