3.1. Biological parameters of Aenasius arizonensis View in CoL under laboratory conditions
The total development period of immature stages, pre-oviposition, oviposition and post-oviposition periods, female-male longevity, daily and total fecundity of A. arizonensis were determined during this study. Mean hatching period of this parasitoid was 17 ± 0.2 days (Min: 16; Max: 18 days). Adult female and male A. arizonensis longevity was detected as 31 ± 1.0 days (Min: 27; Max: 35 days), 18 ± 0.4 days (Min: 16; Max: 19 days), respectively ( Table 1 and Figure 3 View Figure 3 ).
Pre-oviposition, oviposition and post-oviposition periods of A.arizonensis were calculated as 1.5 ± 0.26 days, 26 ± 1.6, and 3.1 ± 0.3 days, respectively. In addition, the mean total and daily fecundity of A. arizonensis was determined as 83 ± 7.7 parasitized mealybug adults/female (Max:115), and 4.1 ± 0.1 parasitized mealybug adults/ female/day within this study ( Table 2).
Aga et al. (2016) have studied some biological parameters of A. arizonensis and found 26.2 ± 1.72 and 16.3 ± 1.41 days for female and male longevity. In addition, pre-oviposition, oviposition and post-oviposition periods of A. arizonensis were detected as <1, 23.1 ± 1.66, and 3.1 ± 0.55 days, respectively. Aga and co-workers further reported, total and daily fecundity of 100.5 ± 11.57 parasitized mealybug adults/female, and 4.24 ± 0.20 parasitized mealybug adults/female/day, respectively. Arif et al. (2012) determined biological characteristics of A.bambawlaei (junior synonym of A. arizonensis ) at 28°C ± 1, 70 ± 5% (R.H.) and 18 / 6 (L / D), and, according to their study, hatching process of this parasitoid completed within 12–17 days, and longevity of the female parasitoids ranged from 15 to 32 days. Likewise, Ram and Saini (2011) found oviposition and post-oviposition period of A. bambawalei to be 24.33 and 3.33 days. Joodaki et al (2020) found 15.92 days for total pre-adult period and 33.35 days for oviposition at 25 °C, and latter decreased with increase temperatures from 25 to 35 °C.
