Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the characteristics of the biological stages of Palpita unionalis (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). Infested shoots with different biological stages of P. unionalis from fields were brought to the laboratory, reared and measurements were taken. Female individuals of P. unionalis were 13.9±0.17 in average length (11.25-16.58) mm and 28.93±0.30 (21.20-32.24) mm in average wingspan while male individuals were 13.90±0.18 (13.10-16.93) mm in length and 28.27±0.30 (22.00-31.97) mm in wingspan(n=100). Average egg size and width of P. unionalis were determined as 0.95± 0.011 (0.8-41.04) mm and 0.72±0.008 (0.64-0.78) mm (n=20), respectively. The average width and length of mature larvae of P. unionalis were 3.28±0.08 (2.88– 4.02) mm and 22.20±0.15 (21.05–23.08) mm, (n=20) respectively. The average width and length of P. unionalis pupa were 3.41±0,055 (2.76-3.88) mm and 13.76±1.146 (12.57–14.67) mm in length (n=20), respectively. Finally, it was determined that the average sex ratio (male/female) of P. unionalis was 0.97:1.03 (n=100).
Özet
Bu çalışma Palpita unionalis (Hübn.) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)’in biyolojik dönemlerine ait bazı morfolojik özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla erçekleştirilmiştir. P. unionalis ile bulaşık sürgünler laboratuara gerilerek kültüre alınmış ve elde edilen bireylerin ölçümleri yapılmıştır. P. unionalis’in dişi bireylerinin boy uzunluğu ortalama 13.91±0.17 (11.25-16.58) mm ve kanat açıklığı ortalama 28.93±0.30 (21.20-32.24) mm, erkek bireylerinin ise boy uzunluğu 13.90±0.18 (10.13–16.93) mm ve kanat açıklığı 28.27±0.30 (22.00–31.97) mm olarak belirlenmiştir (n=100). P. unionalis’in ortalama yumurta boyu 0.95±0.011 (0.84–1.04) mm ve eni 0.72±0.008 (0.64–0.78) mm olarak saptanmıştır (n=20). P. unionalis’in ortalama olgun larva eni 3.28±0.08 (2.88–4.02) mm ve boyu ise 22.20±0.15 (21.05–23.08) mm olarak belirlenmiştir (n=20). P. unionalis’in ortalama pupa eninin 3.41±0.055 (2.76–3.88) mm ve boyunun ise 13.76±1.146 (12.57–14.67) mm olduğu belirlenmiştir (n=20). Çalışma sonucunda, P. unionalis’in doğadaki cinsiyet oranının (erkek/dişi) ortalama 0.97:1.03 olduğu belirlenmiştir (n=100).
