Morphological determination of the larval instars of Eupeodes americanus (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Abstract

En Amérique du Nord, le potentiel du syrphe d’Amérique Eupeodes americanus (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Syrphidae) comme agent de lutte biologique a été démontré, notamment contre le puceron de la digitale Aulacorthum solani Kaltenbach, 1843 (Hemiptera: Aphididae). Aucune information n’étant disponible pour distinguer macroscopiquement les stades larvaires de cette espèce, la présente étude a utilisé l’observation semi-continue (photographie time-lapse et observation à la loupe binoculaire) des trois stades larvaires pour construire un tableau de traits morphologiques et une clé dichotomique pour discriminer les stades larvaires par observation à la loupe binoculaire. Les traits discriminants sont la présence de poils noirs au premier stade et la fusion des tubes respiratoires postérieurs au troisième stade.

In North America, the potential of the American hoverfly Eupeodes americanus (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Syrphidae) as a biocontrol agent has been demonstrated, particularly against the foxglove aphid Aulacorthum solani Kaltenbach, 1843 (Hemiptera: Aphididae). Since no information is available to distinguish the larval instars of this species, the present study used the semi-continuous observation (time-lapse photography and stereo microscope) of the three larval stages to build a table of morphological traits and a dichotomic key for discriminating the larval instars by observation under stereo microscope. Discriminating traits are black hairs at first instar and fused posterior breathing tubes at third instar.
