Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the morphological characteristics, overwintering sites and behavior for each stage of Oligota kashmirica benefica (Coleoptera: Sthphylinidae). Egg was oval type, yellow, 0.3 mm size. Larva exuviated 3 times and the last (3rd) instar, length 1.6 mm, wide 0.4 mm, became dermata pupa in soil. Adult was lightish dark-brown, and coriaceous forewing covered a half of abdomen. O. kashmirica benefca mainly overwinters with adult at Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) windbreaks of orchards, but it did not diapause in greenhouse during winter.

잎응애류의 포식성 천적인 민깨알반날개의 발육단계별 형태적 특징과 행동습성, 그리고 월동에 대하여 조사하였다. 알은 0.3 m 크기의 노랑색 타원형이었고, 유충은 3번 탈피하며 다자란 3령 유충은 길이 1.6 mm, 폭 0.4 mm이며 행동이 민첩하였다. 땅속에서 고치를 짓고 그 안에서 번데기가 되며, 성충은 광택이 있는 암갈색으로 막질의 앞날개는 복부의 절반만 덮고 있는 형태였다. 민깨알반 낱개는 주로 과수원 주변의 삼나무 방풍수에서 성충으로 월동하였다. 그러나 겨울철에도 하우스와 같이 따뜻한 곳에서는 휴면하지 않았다.
