0 Introduction

【Research significance】Aensius arizonensis is a solitary parasitoid of the invasive mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis（Fallahzadeh et al.，2014）. A. arizonensis has a wide range of host plants and most of them belong to Malvacae plant family. Mealybugs have piercing-sucking mouth parts，by which they suck cell sap and may also inject a toxin in plant ti-ssues that may cause yellowing of leaves，plant stun-ting and wilting. Several investigations had shown that this parasitoid has a high parasitism rate on P. solenopsis. In 2004，P. solenopsis was found on co-tton in Gujrat， India for the first time. P. solenopsis caused severe damage in cotton and other crops in 2005. It was found that time in Vehari district of Punjab and Sanghar district of Sindh Province. Nowa-days it has been found throughout the country infes-ting many fruits，vegetables，and field crops（Mahmood et al.，2011）. 【Research progress】The cotton mealybug，P. solenopsis was originally described by Tinsley in 1898. Wang et al.（2010） reviewed its distribution and suggested that it was native to the Uni-ted States. The first record was made outside continental USA from Hawaii in 1966（Kumashiro et al.，2001）; Mexico in 1978 and South America from 1985 onwards（Williams and Granara de Willink，1992） and in Asia from 2000s（Hodgson et al.，2008）. Various studies focused on observing the parasitization efficiency of A. arizonensis under the laboratory conditions，and natural parasitism of P. solenopsis by the parasitoid in the field in India（Kumar et al.，2009）. Subsequently，A. arizonensis was also discovered in Pakistan（Ashfaq et al.，2010）. Previous laboratory experiments have demonstrated that A. arizonensis could parasitize the P. solenopsis instars（Fand and Suroshe，2015）. 【Research breakthrough point】A set of experiments on parasitism rate and longevity of A. arizonensis on developmental stages of mealybug P. solenopsis were conducted through choice and non-choice based method. 【Solving pro-blems】This paper have tested hypothesis that host stages affect the biology of parasitoid，A. arizonensis in choice and non-choice based method. In the present study，biology of parasitoid was greatly affected in relation to choice and non-choice host stage. The results will be helpful in future for rearing and potential augmentation in biological control programmes of mealybugs.

1 Materials and methods

1. 1 Development of culture mealybug

The study on host-stage specific biology of A. arizonensis on P. solenopsis was conducted in the laboratory of Department of Entomology，Sindh Agriculture University，Tandojam.

The culture of P. solenopsis was developed in the laboratory，for this purpose mealybug was collec-ted from the cotton growing field and other crops at Tandojam in the morning，kept in ice chest box and brought to laboratory. In the laboratory，field collec-ted mealybugs were kept in glass cages（30.48 cm×30.48 cm×30.48 cm），pumpkin unpeeled and partially chapped were left in the cages to feed the mealybug individuals，by this way a sizeable culture of mealybug was developed.

1. 2 Parasitoids

The parasitized mealybugs called mummies，were collected from field of cotton，tomato，and brinjal，these mummies were kept in Petri dishes（2.54 cm×15.24 cm） up to the emergence，after adult emergence the parasitoids were collected in glass vials separately. After identifying them as male and female by morphology（Hayat，2009）， a pair of them was shifted in one glass jar for mating purpose then released to host cage. The solution of honey and water was given to the parasitoids as food through soaked cotton swab.

1. 3 Host stage preference choice based experiment

Nymphal instars i.e.，2nd，3rd and adult females of mealybugs were kept in the same cages with piece of pumpkin as food，each cage was contained 15 mealybugs of each stage? and then a pair of A. ari-zonensis was released in each cage for the parasiti-zation of mealybugs. After 24 h， the parasitoids were removed from the cages and released to other cages containing the same number and same host stages，in this way four batches of mealybugs were exposed to the parasitoids to obtain the results of host-stage preference of A. arizonensis. Mealybugs were observed every day and finally the mummies of mealybugs were collected from cages and kept in Petri dishes for emergence.

1. 4 Host stage preference non-choice based expe-riment

The 2nd and 3rd instar nymphs and adult female mealybugs were kept in separate cages respectively with a piece of pumpkin as food. Each cage was containing 30 individuals of only a single host stage，then a pair of A. arizonensis were released in each cage for the parasitization of mealybugs，after 24 h，the parasitoids were removed from the cages and released to other cages containing the same number and same host stages，in this way four batches of mealybugs were exposed to the parasitoids，observation was taken on parasitism/parasitism rate and host stage preference. Daily examination of the cages was conducted for the data collection，finally the data was statistically analyzed.

2 Results and analysis

2. 1 Oviposition rate and longevity of A. arizonensis

The oviposition rate of A. arizonensis was highly influenced by host’s developmental stages，under choice based experiment，the maximum mean parasi-tism rate（103.33 mummies） was recorded for 3rd instar host stage followed by adult host stage（37.66 mummies），whereas the minimum parasitism（11.66 mummies） was noticed when the 2nd instar mealybugs were offered as host for parsitization. The longevity of female parasitoid was recorded the maximum（24.00 d） on the 3rd host stage，while the minimum（16.00 d） reported on adult host stage，followed by 2nd instar nymph mealybugs（18.00 d）（Table 1）. Under non-choice based experiment，the highest parasitism rate（155.00 mummies） was recorded for the 3rd instar host stage followed by 2nd instar host stage（68.00 mummies），whereas the minimum parasitism（57.66 mummies） was noticed when adult stage mealybugs were offered as host for parsitization. The longevity of female parasitoid with an average was 21.00，23.00 and 17.00 d for the 2nd，3rd nymphs and adult stage mealybug，respectively（Table 2）.

2. 2 Host stage specific parasitisation by A. arizonensis

On choice based experiment，the maximum host stage specific parasitisation（68%） on P. solenopsis was observed for the 3rd instar nymph fo-llowed by 25% for adult host stage，whereas the mi-nimum host stage specific parasitisation（7%） was observed for the 2nd instar nymph. On non-choice based experiment，the maximum host stage specific parasitisation（55%） was observed for the 3rd instar nymph followed by 24% for the 2nd instar nymph stage，whereas the minimum host stage specific parasitisation（21%） was observed for adult host stage（Fig.1 and Fig.2）.

2. 3 Development time from nymphs to mummy formation

The results depicted that，under choice based experiment，the development time to mummy formation was the shortest（6.35±0.14 d） when 2nd instar nymphs of P. solenopsis was offered for parasitisation to A. arizonensis，while the longest time to mummy formation（10.45±0.13 d） was recorded for adult mealybugs，followed by 3rd instar nymphs of mealybug（10.18±0.14 d）（Table 3）. The maximum（51%） mummies formed within one week as compared to mummies（49%） formed within two weeks for 2nd instar mealybug after parasitisation by A. arizonensis. In 3rd instar nymphs，the maximum mummies（57%） formed within one week as compared to mummies（43%） formed within two weeks after parasitisation by A. arizonensis. In adult mealybugs，the maximum mummies（55%） formed within one week as compared to mummies（45%） formed within two weeks after parasitisation by A. arizonensis. Whereas，under non-choice based experiment，the development time to mummy formation was the shortest（6.16±0.24 d） when 2nd instar nymphs of P. solenopsis was offered for parasitisation，while the longest time to mummy formation（11.50±0.27 d） was recorded for adult me-alybugs，followed by 3rd instar nymphs of mealybugs（11.09±0.16 d）（Table 4）. The maximum mummies（67%） formed within two weeks as compared to mummies（33%） formed within one week for 2nd instar mealybug after parasitisation by A. arizonensis. In 3rd instar nymph，the maximum mummies（54%） formed within one week as compared to mummies formed within two weeks after parasitisation by A. arizonensis. In adult mealybug，the maximum mummies（52%） formed within two weeks as compared to mummies formed within one week after parasitisation by A. arizonensis（Fig.3）.

2. 4 Emergence of adult A. arizonensis after formation of mealybug mummies

The results further showed that，the timeline to emergence of adult A. arizonensis（mummies duration） after formation of mealybug mummies was recorded the shortest（2.34±0.19 d） for both 2nd and 3rd instar nymph mealybugs and the longest mummy duration（5.43±0.18 d） was observed in adult mealybugs under choice based experiment（Table 3）. In 2nd instar nymphs，the highest percentage（57%） of mu-mmies lasted up to 3 d，while minimum mummies took up to 6 d and adults of A. arizonensis emerged from those mummies. In the 3rd instar nymph and adult mealybugs，the results showed that，65% mummies lasted up to 3 d and 35% lasted up to 6 d. On the other hand，under non-choiced base experiment，the timeline to emergence of adult A. arizonensis，after formation of mealybug mummies was recorded the shortest（2.03±0.12 d） for 3rd instar nymph mealybugs，and the longest mummy duration（5.00±0.22 d） was observed in the 2nd instar nymph mealybug fo-llowed by adult mealybugs（4.25±0.16 d）（Table 4）. In the? 2nd instar nymphs，the highest percentage（53%） of mummies lasted up to 6 d，while minimum mummies（47%） took up to 6 d and adults of the 3rd instar nymph and adult mealybugs，the results showed that，65% mummies lasted up to 3 d and 35% lasted up to 6 d（Fig.4）.

2. 5 Total development period from parasitization to adult emergence

The total development period from parasitization to adult emergence of A. arizonensis was the shortest（12.69±0.19 and 13.24±0.40 d respectively） when 2nd instar nymphs of P. solenopsis was offered for parasitisation to A. arizonensis，while the longest time to total development period（15.88±0.25 and 15.75±0.24 d） was recorded at the 3rd instar nymph mealybugs，followed by the 3rd instar nymphs of mealybugs（15.51±0.28 and 15.12±0.14 d respectively），under both choice and non-choice based experiments（Table 3 and Table 4）. The results revealed that，under choice based experiment，57% adults of A. arizonensis emerged within 15-17 d and 43% emerged within 12-14 d from the mummies formed in the 2nd instar nymph of mealybugs，60% adults of A. arizonensis emerged within 15-17 d and 40% emerged within 12-14 d from the mummies formed in 3rd instar nymph of mealybugs，61% adults of A. arizonensis emerged within 15-17 d and 39% emerged within 12-14 d from the mummies formed in adult mealybugs. Under non-choice based experiment，23% adults of A. arizonensis emerged within 15-17 d and 77% emerged within 12-14 d from the mummies formed in the 2nd instar nymph of mealybugs，43% adults of A. arizonensis emerged within 15-17 d and 57% emerged within 12-14 d from the mummies formed in the 3rd instar nymph of mealybugs，57% adults of A. arizonensis emerged within 15-17 d and 43% emerged within 12-14 d from the mummies formed in adult mealybugs（Fig.5）.

2. 6 Adult emergence rate? of A. arizonensis

The maximum adult emergence rate（96% and 93%） of A. arizonensis was recorded from mummies formed in the 3rd instar nymph mealybug，whereas the minimum（72% and 65%） was reported from mummies formed in the 2nd instar nymph mealybugs，fo-llowed by adult emergence from mummies formed in adult host stage（89% and 85%） under choice based and non-choic based experiments（Fig.6）.

3 Discussion

Many pest-controlling strategies have been used in various parts of the world to check the population of mealybug under threshold levels，many chemicals were also used to control the cotton mealybug，the pesticides used against the cotton mealybug were quick，result-oriented and economic whereas on the other hand they possessed several environmental ha-zards to the natural enemies，livestock and farmer community（Noureen et al.，2016）. The use of chemicals for the control of this pest was not only expensive but also disturbed the ecosystem of natural enemies. The continuous use of chemical insecticides resulted serious threats like development of resistance in insects，environmental pollution and side effects on human health.

Encrytids were the most successful natural enemies used in the biological control programs against mealybugs（Noyes and Hayat，1994）. A. arizonensis（Girault） was an important koinobiont nymphal endoparasitoid of P. solenopsis reported in India（Hayat，2009），Pakistan（Mahmood，2008），China（Chen et al.，2010），Iran（Zain-ul-Abdin et al.，2012） and Australia（Khan et al.，2012）. It was a key mortality factor of P. solenopsis under field conditions（Ram et al.，2009）. Field parasitism by A. arizonensis to an extent of 95% has been recorded in P. solenopsis（Khuhro et al.，2012）. It was? reported by Mahmood（2008） for the first time in Pakistan，and later was described and named as A. bambawalei by Hayat（2009）. However，F(xiàn)allahzadeh et al.（2014） from Iran reported that this species was closer to A. arizonensis（Girault） and reported on A. bambawalei as a junior synonym of A. arizonensis. Host life stage was one of the key factors influencing oviposition preference，sex allocation and offspring fitness in solitary parasitoids（King，1989;Hagvar and Hofsvang，1991;Harvey et al.，1994;Kant et al.，2012）. Furthermore，the progeny fitness was positively related to host resources;consequently，the parasitoid tended to allocate the offspring sexes according to host-size-dependent sex allocation principle（Charnov，1982; Godfray，1994;West and Sheldon，2002;West，2009）. Parasitoids made a series of oviposition decisions while locating their hosts to achieve maximum fitness gains which included the number of eggs laid，the ratio of ferti-lized to unfertilised eggs and whether to super parasi-tize the host or not. Such decisions were relatively influenced by the quality of hosts encountered by the parasitoids（Kant et al.，2012）. Earlier studies by many workers on different parasitoids have reported that host stage at the time of parasitism affected their reproductive fitness，resulting in altered deve-lopmental time（Sequeira and Mackauer，1993），body size（Lampson et al.，1996） and progeny sex ratio（Godfray，1994;Napoleon and King，1999）.

The result of the present findings showed that，the parasitism rate of A. arizonensis was highly influenced by host’s developmental stages，under choice based experiment，the maximum parasitism rate was recorded for 3rd instar host stage followed by at adult host stage，whereas the minimum parasitism was noticed when 2nd instar mealybugs was offered as host for parsitization. The longevity of female parasitoid was recorded maximum（24 d） on 3rd host stage，while minimum（16 d） reported on adult host stage，followed by 2nd instar nymph mealybugs（18 d）. Under non-choice based experiment，the highest parasi-tism rate was recorded for 3rd instar host stage fo-llowed by 2nd instar host stage，whereas the minimum parasitism was noticed when adult stage mealybugs were offered as host for parsitization. The longevity of female parasitoid with an average was 21，23 and 17 d for 2nd，3rd and adult stage mealybug，respectively. These results are agreement with the research ca-rried out by Solangi and Mahmood（2011） and Zain ul-Abdin et al.（2012） who discovered that in laboratory females lived 10-37 d and parasitized 32-170 mealy bugs，whereas male died within one week，their findings showed that only single parasitoid adult was emerged from each mummy. The results further depicted that，under choice based experiment，the development time to mummy formation was the shor-test（6.35±0.14 d） when 2nd instar nymphs of P. solenopsis was offered for parasitisation to A. arizonensis，while the longest time to mummy formation（10.45±0.13 d） was recorded for adult mealybugs，followed by 3rd instar nymphs of mealybug（10.18±0.14 d）. The maximum mummies formed within one week as compared to that formed within two weeks for 2nd instar mealybug after parasitisation by A. arizonensis. In 3rd instar nymphs，the maximum mu-mmies formed within one week as compared to mu-mmies formed within two weeks after parasitisation by A. arizonensis. In adult mealybugs，the maximum mummies formed within one week as compared to that formed within two weeks after parasitisation by A. arizonensis under non-choice based experiment，the development time to mummy formation was shortest（6.16±0.24 d） when 2nd instar nymphs of P. solenopsis was offered for parasitisation，while the longest time to mummy formation（11.50±0.27 d） was recorded for adult mealybugs，followed by 3rd instar nymphs of mealybugs（11.09±0.16 d）. The maximum mummies formed within two weeks as compared to that formed within one week for 2nd instar mealybug after parasitisation by A. arizonensis. In 3rd instar nymph，the maximum mummies formed within one week as compared to mummies formed within two weeks after parasitisation by A. arizonensis. In adult mealybug，the maximum mummies formed within two weeks as compared to that formed within one week after parasitisation by A. arizonensis. The results further showed that，the timeline to emergence of adult Aenasius arizonensis（mummies duration） after formation of mealybug mummies was recorded the shortest（2.34±0.19 d） for both 2nd and 3rd instar nymph mealybugs，and the longest mummy duration（5.43±0.18 d） was observed in adult mealybugs under choice based experiment. In 2nd instar nymphs，the highest percentage of mummies（57%） lasted up to 3 d，while minimum mummies（34%） took up to 6 d and adults of A. arizonensis emerged from those mummies. In 3rd instar nymph and adult mealybugs，the results showed that，65% mummies lasted up to 3 d and 35% lasted up to 6 d，on the other hand，under non-choice based experiment，the timeline to emergence of adult A. arizonensis after formation of mealybug mummies was recorded the shortest（2.03±0.12 d） for 3rd instar nymph mealybugs，and longest mummy duration（5.00±0.22 d） was observed in 2nd instar nymph mealybug followed by adult mealybugs（4.25±0.16 d）. In 2nd instar nymphs，the highest percentage（53%） of mummies lasted up to 6 d，while minimum mummies（47%） took up to 3 d and adults of A. arizonensis emerged from those mummies. In 3rd instar nymph and adult mealybugs，the results showed that，65% mummies lasted up to 3 d and 35% lasted up to 6 d. The total development period from parasitization to adult emergence of Aenasius arizonensis was shortest the（12.69±0.19 and 13.24±0.40 d） when 2nd instar nymphs of P. solenopsis was offered for parasitisation to A. arizonensis，while longest time to total development period was recorded for 3rd instar nymph mealybugs，followed by（15.51±0.28 and 15.12±0.14 d） 3rd instar nymphs of mealybugs（15.88±0.25 and 15.75±0.24 d） under both choice and non-choice based experiments（respectively）.

The results revealed that，under choice based experiment，57% adults of A. arizonensis emerged within 15-17 d and 43% emerged within 12-14 d from the mummies formed in 2nd instar nymph of mealybugs，60% adults of A. arizonensis emerged within 15-17 d and 40% emerged within 12-14 d from the mummies formed in 3rd instar nymph of mealybugs，61% adults of A. arizonensis emerged within 15-17 d and 39% emerged within 12-14 d from the mummies formed in adult mealybugs. Under non-choice base experiment，23% adults of A. ari-zonensis emerged within 15-17 d and 77% emerged within 12-14 d from the mummies formed in 2nd instar nymph of mealybugs，43% adults of A. arizonensis emerged within 15-17 d and 57% emerged within 12-14 days from the mummies formed in 3rd instar nymph of mealybugs，57% adults of A. arizonensis emerged within 15-17 d and 43% emerged within 12-14 d from the mummies formed in adult mealybugs，The results of the present study are in conformity with those conducted by Zain-ul-Abidin et al.（2012） and Sangle et al.（2013） with slight deviations due to changes in environmental conditions. These results are also in accordance with the findings of Cross and Moore（1992） and Bokonon-Ghanta et al.（1995） who discovered that mostly encyrtids prefer to parasitize late（3rd） instars and adult mealybugs.

4 Conclusion

It is concluded from the present findings that，the host stage is climacteric factor affecting the parasitization development，female longevity and adult emergence of A. arizonensis. As the results showed that，the maximum parasitization was recorded on 3rd instar mealybug，the female A. arizonensis lived longer on 3rd instar host stage，compared to 2nd instar nymphs and adult mealybugs under choice and non-choice base experiment. Adult emergence of A. arizonensis was higher on 3rd instar nymph hosts compared to 2nd instar nymphs and adult mealybugs under both choice and non-choice based experiments.
