Rearing, Laboratory

Barbash-NM
Improving techniques of rearing Tipula paludosa MG. (Dipt., Tipulidae) in the laboratory.
Entomologist's-Monthly-Magazine. 1990, 126: 1512-1515, 119-120; 2 ref.
A new method for rearing Tipula paludosa is described which enables thousands of larvae to be produced with 2 generations in a year.

Brownbridge-M; Selman-BJ
Improvements in rearing laboratory cultures of leatherjackets (Tipula spp.) (Dipt., Tipulidae).
Entomologist's-Monthly-Magazine. 1989, 125: 1500-1503, 123-127; 5 ref.
Methods of handling and rearing Tipula paludosa and T. oleracea in the laboratory are outlined. Usually over 50% of larvae survived to adulthood, the greatest levels of mortality occurring in the quiescent late 4th instar and during pupation.

Szewczyk-D; Langenbruch-GA
A new rearing method for Tipula paludosa and Tipula oleracea (Dript., Tipulidae) and some records on the development of the laboratory population.
Journal-of-Applied-Entomology. 1997, 121: 9-10, 549-554; 17 ref.

Wiegers-GL; Dullemans-AM; Wijbenga-J
The rearing of Tipula oleracea L. (Dipt., Tipulidae).
Journal-of-Applied-Entomology. 1992, 114: 4, 410-414; 7 ref.
A convenient rearing method for Tipula oleracea is described. It was possible to produce 5 or 6 generations a year and to provide a constant source of larvae for experiments. The eggs were incubated on water-agar and larvae reared in moist sand and fed on lettuce. Data on development time, head capsule width, mortality and food uptake of the larvae are given.
