Description
Abstract
La mosca tigra, Coenosia attenuata Stein, 1903 es un importante
depredador de insectos pequeños como moscas blancas, moscas
del mantillo, minadores, y otros pequeños hemípteros y lepidópteros.
El objetivo de esta investigación es reportar la presencia de
esta especie por primera vez en Venezuela, donde ha sido observada
en casas de cultivo ubicadas en el estado Miranda, depredando
adultos de Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood, 1856) y
de moscas de los géneros Bradysia Winnertz, 1867 y Liriomyza
Mik, 1894 sobre crisantemo (Chrysanthemun sp.), gerbera (Gerbera
jamesonii Bolus y Hook), lechuga (Lactuca sativa L.) y pimentón
(Capsicum annuum L.). La presencia de la mosca tigra en Venezuela
subraya la necesidad de investigaciones sobre su uso potencial
como un agente de biocontrol de insectos plaga.

The aim of this research is to report the occurrence of this species for first time in Venezuela, where it has been observed in greenhouses located in Miranda state, predating adults of Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood, 1856) and of the fly genera Bradysia Winnertz, 1867 and Liriomyza Mik, 1894 on chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum sp.), gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii Bolus ex Hook), lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). The occurrence of the tiger-fly in Venezuela underlines the necessity for researches into its potential use as a biocontrol agent of insect pests.
