Türkiye’de Palomena prasina (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)’da Megaselia scalaris (Diptera: Phoridae)’in İlk Kaydı

Çok çeşitli ortamlara ve ekolojik nişlere yayılabilme yeteneğine sahip olan Megaselia scalaris (Loew, 1866) (Diptera: Phoridae) parazit, fakültatif parazit ve parazitoid davranışları gösteren polifag bir tür olarak bilinmektedir. Bu tür, Samsun ili fındık yetiştiriciliği yapılan alanlardan toplanarak laboratuvar şartlarında kültüre alındıktan sonra ölen Palomena prasina L. (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)’dan elde edilmiştir. Larvalar ergin P. prasina’nın vücudu içerisinde beslenmekte olup tüm iç organlarını yiyerek vücut duvarı üzerinde pupa olduğu gözlemlenmiş ve kültüre alınarak pupalardan ergin çıkışları sağlanmıştır. Bu çalışma, M. scalaris’in yeni bir konukçusu olan Palomena prasina (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)’nın Türkiye’deki ilk kaydını rapor etmektedir.

First Record of Megaselia scalaris (Diptera: Phoridae) on Palomena prasina (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in Turkey

Megaselia scalaris (Loew, 1866), Scuttle fly, which has the ability to spread to a wide variety of environments and ecological niches, is known as a polyphagous species that exhibits parasitic, facultative parasite and parasitoid behavior. This species was obtained from deads of Palomena prasina (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) cultured in laboratory conditions by collecting from hazelnut growing area in Samsun province. The larvae were fed in the body of the adult P. prasina, by consuming all the internal organs, and observed that there were pupae on the body wall. The adults were obtained from cultured these pupae. This study reports the first record in Turkey of P. prasina, which is a new host of M. scalaris.
