This is the first report of the parasitoid Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson) as a biological control agent of the aphid Aphis gossypii Glover in watermelon crop in Vale do Açu, RN. It was observed that near the harvest, almost all collected aphids were mummified, and after analyzing the emerged parasitoids, the parasitoid L. testaceipes was identified. Therefore, in the future, this species may be included in A. gossypii integrated management programs.

Olive Groves

Olive growing has been intensified through the simplification of agricultural landscapes. In order to rethink the environmental drawbacks of these practices, conservation biological control techniques have been examined. In this work, Prays oleae and its natural enemy Chrysoperla carnea were monitored to account for the effects of the amount and diversity of different land-uses. We found that C. carnea showed an attraction to areas with high abundances of P. oleae but this predator did not display any affection by the different land-uses. Inversely, P. oleae abundance was lower in diverse landscapes and higher in simplified ones. Importantly, higher abundances of C. carnea were related to lower infestation levels of P. oleae in the late part of the season. These results corroborate the attraction of C. carnea to the olive moth, highlighting the potential of C. carnea as a biological control agent of this pest, assert that the promotion of land-use diversity can reduce P. oleae and confirm that landscapes dominated by olive groves can promote this pest. The present study aims at contributing to the discussion about the management of agricultural ecosystems by providing farmers with sustainable alternatives that do not have harmful effects on the environment and public health.

Lady Beetles

Lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) as a biological control agent are a group of beetles with a considerable diversity and adaptation in different habitats. Among aphids, <em>Aphis punicae</em> Passerini (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is one of the most important pests of pomegranate orchards in Iran. This pest reduces plant vigor, facilitate the growth of mold on leaves, and consequently influences crop quality and yield. Study on the fauna of predatory ladybugs associated with pomegranate orchards was conducted that were feeding on <em>Aphis punicae</em> in the Najafabad region (Isfahan province, Iran). Twelve species of 8 genera were collected Sampled specimens were identified according to their morphological, male and female genitalia characters using identification keys. The identified species were as follow: <em>Adalia bipunctata</em> (Linnaeus, 1758), <em>Coccinella septempunctata</em> Linnaeus, 1758, <em>Coccinella undecimpunctata</em> Linnaeus, 1758, <em>Exochomus undulates</em> Weise, 1878, <em>Hippodamia variegate</em> (Goeze, 1777), <em>Hippodamia tredecimpunctata</em><em> (</em>Linnaeus, 1758), <em>Oenopia conglobata</em> (Linnaeus, 1758), <em>Oenopia oncina</em> (Olivier, 1808), <em>Propylea quatuordecimpuctata</em> (Linnaeus, 1758), <em>Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata</em> (Linnaeus, 1758), <em>Scymnus syriacus</em> (Marseul, 1868), <em>Scymnus mongolicus </em>(Weise, 1890).
