P090-99 Effects
of Soil Water Depletion on the Water Relations in Tropical
Kudzu
Pereira-Netto
AB, Magalhães ACN, Pinto HS*
The effect of reduced
soil water content on estomatal conductance, leaflet relative
water content (RWC) and temperature were measured in indoor-grown
plants of Pueraria phaseoloides. 18% exponential decrease
in RWC was related to reduction in soil water content from
its maximal retention capacity (100%) to 48%.Pesquisa Agropecuária

P091-99 Improved
histochemical method for choline-containing phospholipid by
microwave irradiation on cryosections
Alberto-Rincon
MC*, Mello J, Joazeiro PP, Yamada AT
Cryosections and
microwave irradiation were used to improve the histochemical
method based on the classic hg-diphenylcarbazide reaction
to detect a class of phospholipids that contain choline radicals
and results were compared with those obtained with conventional
thick frozen sections. Microwave irradiation, besides shortening
the processing time, improved the resolution and accuracy
of choline-containing phospholipid (ccp) localization in tissues.

P092-99 Tabelas
de vida de Fannia pusio (Wid.) (Diptera: Fannidae)
Marchiori CH,
Prado AP
Several aspects
of the population dynamic of F. pusio (Wiedemann) were studied
in the laboratory. Adults were collected in Monte Mor, SP,
Brazil. Adults were kept in the laboratory and were fed with
powdered milk, sugar and bawer yeast. Formulated food for
laboratory animals was used as oviposition medium. The reprodudtive
rate (Ro) and the rate of natural increase (Rm) were higher
at 26oC, with rates of 48,18 and 0,1849, respectively.
The greater generation time occurred at 20oC.Anais

P093-99 Megaselia
scalaris (Diptera: Phoridae) causing myiasis in Crotalus
durissus terrificus (Serpentes: Viperidae) in Brazil
Silva JS, Prado
AP, Rodrigues RR, Lopes CRM, Godoy WAC
We decribe a case
of myiasis in Crotalus durissus
terrificus (Laurent) caused by Megaselia scalaris
(Loew). The snake was found in Anhembi, São Paulo, Brazil,
with a lesion measuring 25mm in diameter where the larvae
of M. scalaris had penetred the ribs. The opportunistic
behavior of larvae of M. scalaris is discussed. Journal

P094-99 Massive
Orbital Myiasis Infestation
Rocha EM, Yvaroff
JC, Silva LMS, Prado AP, Caldato R
Infestation by dipterous
fly larvae in ocular and orbital tissues (ophthalmomyiasis)
occurs throughout the world, mostly in children and older
people and, depending on the genus of the fly, the infestation
can be single or multiple larvae. We report a case of orbital
myiasis in a man who had more than 100 larvae removed, followed
by orbiltal exenteration. Archives of Ophtalmology 117:

P095-99 Aleochara
spp. (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) and pupal parasitoids (Hymenoptera:
Pteromalidae) attacking symbovine fly pupae (Diptera: Muscidae,
Sarcophagidae and Otitidae) in southeastern Brazil
Almeida MAF,
Prado AP*
Samples of house
fly, Musca domestica L., stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans
(L.), and Physiphora aenea (F.) puparia were collected
weekly at a dairy cattle farm, in Pirassununga (21o 59'S;
47o 21'W and 597.0 km), State of São Paulo, Brazil,
between March 1994 and February 1995. Puparia were collected
in eigh sites chosen around two manure storage piles and a
feeding trough to determine which species comprised the fauna
of pupal parasitoids. The seasonal emergence of parasitoids
was analyzed for the three species of flie collected. Larvae
of Aleochara (Coprochara) notula (Erichson) (Coleoptera:
Staphylinidae) were reared and a wasp from family Eucoilidae
(Cynipoidea) was found in some puparia (ca. 20) of Sarcophagula
sp. (Sarcophagidae). This is the first report of aleocharine
larvae attacking puparia of symbovine flies in Brazil.

P096-99 Resistência
aos Praguicidas
Prado AP
Resistance is a
process of genetic seletion of traits that favor survival
of either direct treatment by praguicides or their residues.
Resistance occurs by combining natural mutation in a population
with seletion by praguicide treatment. The three main categories
(biochemical, physiological and behavioral) recognized of
resistance are discussed, methods of measuring resistance
(bioassays), their documentation, monitoring, and management
are considered. O Biológico 60: 7-9, 1999

97-99 Ocorrência
e sazonalidade de (Omorgus) suberosus (Fabr.) em esterco de
aves poedeiras, em Monte Mor, SP
Gianizella SL,
Prado AP
Trogidae is a cosmopolitan
family whose species have mainly necrophagous habits. They
are among the last groups of the sucession of insects that
invade carcasses, but they have also been recorded feeding
on but guano in caves, locust eggs, fly maggots and unusual
itens, such as old carpet and felt-hat. From July 1991 to
September 1993 the trogid beetle Omorgus (Omorgus) suberosus
(Fabr.) (Coleoptera: Trogidae) were abundantly collected in
poultry maure in Monte Mor, SP, with pitfall-traps. The seasonal
distribution showed the unimodal pattern with peaks into spring
and summer.Anais da Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil 28:

P098-99 Batflies
parasitic on Phyllostomid Bats in Southeastern Brazil: Parasitism
Rates and Host-parasite Relationships
Komeno CA, Linhares
AX*
Ectoparasitic batflies
were studied on 12 species of phyllostomid bats, by making
35 nightly collections of bats using mist nets at the "Panga"
Ecological Reservation near Uberlândia, State of Minas Gerais,
Southeastern Brazil, from August 1989 to July 1990. Eleven
species of Streblidae and one of Nycteribiidae were collected
on 12 species of bats. Prevalence of ectoparasitic flies was
lower than those reported by other authors for the New World
and may be the result of the lack of caves in the study area,
causing bats to roost in less favorable locations, forming
smaller colonies. Ecological factors are important in determining
differential numbers of parasites occurring on the different
sexes, ages and reproductive state of the hosts. Memórias

P099-99 Diapause,
pupation sites and parasitism of the horn fly, Haematobia
irritans, in Southeastern Brazil
Mendes J, Linhares
AX*
Pupae of horn fly
(Haematobia irritans), were collected from undisturbed
cattle dung pats in pastures and adults of the fly were sampled
from cattle in São Paulo State, Southeastern Brazil, from
April 1993 to July 1994 in order to verify the occurrence
of diapause, preference for pupation sites and hymenopteran
parasitism. Diapause was verified in 7.7% of pupae sampled
from pastures in June and July of 93 and in 9.9 % of those
sampled in May, June and July of 94. Approximately 8.3 % of
the pupae were parasitized by micro-hymenopterans, mostly
by Spalangia nigroaenea and S. cameroni. Pupae
mortality was 54.4% and did not change significantly during
the year, but the mortality was greater in pupae collected
in pastures when compared to those obtained from experimental
pats, that lacked natural enemies.Medical and Veterinary
