Strong inventories of cotton pests natural enemies were made in
Paraguay by B. Michel and P. Prudent (1987 to 1992). Collections of the cotton
entomofauna have been maintained, with visual observations during field visits
of the national cotton program (PIEA) experimental plots. The new following
predators have been identified: Oecanthus sp. (Orthoptera Oecanthidae),
Acontiothespis brevipennis and A. concinna (Dictyoptera Mantodea,
Hymenopodidae), Orthoderella ornata (Mantidae), Ceratocapsus paraguayensis and
C. dispersus (Hemiptera, Coreidae), Oplomus sp. (Pentatomidae Asopinae),
Castrida elegans granulatum (Carabidae), Phelister rufinotus (Histeridae), Trox
suberosus (Coleoptera, Trogidae). Among 2167 specimens of Coccinellidae
identified by C. Duverger, 2052 (94.7%) belonged to Pullus gillae, 85 were
identified as Hyperaspis festiva, 17 were Pullus loewi, 13 belonged to Naemia
(Eriopis) connexa and 8 to Cycloneda sanguinea species. None of Scymnus have
been identified. The genus Pullus, very similar, is dominant. Inside the
Reduviidae family (Harpactorinae) the following species were identified by J.M.
Bérenger: Zelus longipes, very common, Z. laticornis, Z. ruficeps, Z.
armillatus, Atrachelus cinereus ssp. crassicornis and Apiomerus apicalis.
Podisus nigrispinosus is a common Pentatomidae predator on Alabama argillacea.
Harmonia axyridis has been identified as an adult for the first time in Paraguay
in cotton field in Caaguazu and Coronel Bogado, in January 2006. Larvae have
been observed- also on cotton- in Caaguazu. Larvae and one adult have been
observed in Caacupe in January 2007. Until now, this species, known as an
invasive coccinellid from Asia, has been mentioned in the South American
literature in Argentina (Buenos Aires) at the end of 2001 by Saini and in
Curitiba-PR (Brazil) 2002 by de Almeida and da Silva (UFPR). We have observed
larvae on cotton in Cascavel-PR in may 2006. The potential intraguild predation
by this species has to be documented in the future. Palavras-chave: Harmonia
