ABSTRACT
The aim of this review is to describe ecological and physiological features of Andrallus
spinidens Fabricius and to discuss various possibilities of using it as an appropriate biocontrol
agent in different agroecosystems. This hemipteran is a cosmopolitan predator of
caterpillar pests of rice, wheat, soybean, moong, pigeon pea, maize, sugarcane and cowpea
with special feeding on Chilo suppressalis Walker, Naranga aenescnes Moore, Helicoverpa
armigera Hübner and Spodoptera litura Fabricius. Climate, spatial distribution of prey and
type of agricultural crop are among the factors influencing the biology and spatial-temporal
distribution of A. spinidens. Studies have shown random or aggregated distribution of
the predatory bug with population peaks in April, July and October. The 1st instar nymphs
have no feeding, the 2nd and 3rd (the first 2 days) instars are seedling feeders while they
are voracious predators of caterpillars from the middle of 3rd instar to adulthood. The
salivary gland consisted of two anterior-, two lateral- and two posterior lobes with major
secretion of trypsin, chymotrypsin, amino- and carboxypeptidases. The alimentary canal
has a four-sectioned midgut in which the third section seems to be the main place for
digestive enzymes including α-amylase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase cathepsins B, L
and D as well as carboxy- and aminopetidases. Andrallus spinidens have shown compatibility
with some insecticides and the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana. The
predatory bug may be successfully reared in a laboratory using Galleria mellonella larvae as
prey and both conservation and augmentation should be considered as biological control
strategies against insect pests.
