Entomofauna of the Linaria vulgaris Mill.

Abstract

From the plants were collected a lot of insects: Chrysopa carnea (Neuroptera), Exolygus rugulipennis, Holcosthetus vernalis (Heteroptera), Cymnetron antirrhini, G. tetrum, Pseudathous rufipes, Vadonia livida (Coleoptera). From flowers were collected the following species: Taenyothrips linariae (Thysanoptera) and Meligethes aeneus (Coleoptera). From capsels were reared the species: Cymnetron antirrhini, G. tetrum (Coleoptera), Cochylis posterana, C. hybridella, Eupoecilia angustana, Balseuncaria ciliella and Eupithecia linariata (Lepidoptera). From galv, developed on the roots of the plant, was reared the wecvil Cymnetron collinum (Coleoptera). There was made also some biological and ecological considerations about the Cymnetron species, heese being more important factors to reduce the multiplication capacity of Linaria spp.
