In Japan, A. aphidimyza has been recorded as a biological control agent since 1998, and has been used especially in greenhouses. However, rearing method for A. aphidimyza has not yet been established in Japan and mass-reared cocoons are imported from Europe. To establish the rearing method for Japanese population of A. aphidimyza, we studied several biological aspects of the species. Total number of final instar larvae that drop from the plant for pupation was 111 when the 30 adults were introduced into the rearing cage together with an egg plant seedling infested with Aphis gossypii Glover for 24 hours. In the first 2 days after the beginning of drop of the larvae, approximately 60% of final instars were collected. Adult emergence rate was more than 60% when the final instars were kept in the water within 72 hours. The rate of adult emergence was more than 70% when peat moss or river sand was used as pupation substrates. Based on these data, we suggested a simple rearing method for Japanese population of A. aphidimyza using A. gossypii and egg plant seedlings.}, pages = {109--118}, title = {ワタアブラムシを使ったショクガタマバエ (双翅目 : タマバエ科) の簡易飼育法}, volume = {7}, year = {2008}, yomi = {アベ, ジュンイチロウ and ショウブ, メグミ and クマクラ, ヒロシ and ヤノ, エイジ} }
