Cinara atlantica (Wilson, 1919) View in CoL ( Hemiptera : Aphididae )
Aphids were collected in the field, on branches of Pinus taeda Linnaeus and Pinus elliottii Engelm infested with Cinara atlantica , in Curitiba, PR and taken to the insect rearing laboratory, Zoology Department, Universidade Federal do Paraná. They were kept at 21 ± 1 ◦ C, 70 ± 10% relative humidity and 24-hour photoperiod to keep a sufficient supply for performing the bioassays.
Aphids were taken from pine branches from the field, with the help of a fine brush and transferred to the new seedlings purchased at a commercial nursery. The seedlings were replaced when required to maintain the stock population, later used to feed the coccinellids, using the same transfer technique. Aphids were separated by size: small (1st and 2nd instar nymphs), medium (3rd and 4th instar nymphs) and adult aphids.
