摘要： Simple Summary The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, is a common pest in many crops worldwide. Predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) are effective predators of first-instar thrips and have been extensively used for biological control of the pest. However, the short development time of thrips larvae limits the effectiveness of thrips control. Recent studies have shown that some species of phytoseiid mites are capable of consuming thrips eggs embedded in leaf tissue, thereby extending the window for effective predation on F. occidentalis populations. In this study, we aimed to investigate the predatory ability of three phytoseiids native to Southeast Asia and one commercially available species on western flower thrips eggs and compare it with their predation on first instars of the pest. Both at 25 degrees C and 30 degrees C, the functional response of all the studied mites was type II to first instars of the thrips, whereas it shifted to type III when thrips eggs were provided. The consumption of first-instar thrips was consistently higher than that of thrips eggs. More thrips eggs were consumed at 30 degrees C than at 25 degrees C, whereas predation on larvae was minimally affected by temperature. Our research indicates the potential of the studied mites to contribute to the suppression of F. occidentalis outbreaks in Southeast Asia.Abstract The predation capacity and functional responses of adult females of the phytoseiid mites Amblyseius largoensis (Muma), Proprioseiopsis lenis (Corpuz and Rimando), Paraphytoseius cracentis (Corpuz and Rimando), and Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) were studied on eggs and first instars of the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), in the laboratory at 25 degrees C and 30 degrees C. At both temperatures, the functional response of all four phytoseiid mites was type II to first instars of the thrips. In contrast, when offered thrips eggs, the functional response was type III. At both temperatures tested, A. swirskii had the highest mean daily consumption of first-instar F. occidentalis, followed by A. largoensis, P. cracentis, and P. lenis. Amblyseius largoensis had the shortest handling time and the highest maximum attack rate when first-instar thrips were the prey. When fed on thrips eggs, A. largoensis had the highest mean daily consumption, followed by A. swirskii, P. cracentis, and P. lenis. On thrips eggs, A. swirskii showed the shortest handling time and highest maximum attack rate. Our findings indicate that all four phytoseiids had a better ability to prey on first-instar larvae of F. occidentalis compared to thrips eggs. At 25 and 30 degrees C, A. largoensis was the better predator on thrips larvae, whereas A. swirskii was superior in consuming eggs of F. occidentalis. Proprioseiopsis lenis was the inferior predator on both thrips larvae and eggs compared to the other phytoseiids tested.
