A. sparganii and Nonagria typhae were reported in typha stands from Evrous river to Central Greece only, for the first species and from the same river to Salonika for the second species plus the island of Euboea and North Peloponnesus. Only one individual of A. dissoluta was collected during the whole survey in the delta of Pinios river. The southern limit of the main species in Greece is considered not to run far south of the 39th parallel. This limit could be partly regulated by the summer maximum temperatures. A parasitoid, Lydella thompsoni which is common to the 4 phytophagous species was also recorded.}, keywords = {Lepidoptera}, author = {Galichet, P. F. and Tsitsipis, J. A. and Alexandri, M.

Its control in Greece has been based on organophosphates (OPs), but their intense use has led to the development of resistance. A test previously developed to monitor the trait may not be as robust as originally thought. The pyrethroid alpha-cypermethrin has recently been registered for bait sprays, as an alternative to OPs. RESULTS: The susceptibility of 20 B. oleae populations to alpha-cypermethrin was examined. Variation was observed in their response, with LD50 ranging from 0.14 to 3.28ng insect(-1) and resistance factors from 2.3 to 54.7. Resistance mechanisms were investigated. Cytochrome P450 monoxygenase activities showed an association with resistance. Sequences in the domain IIS4-IIS6 of the B. oleae para-type sodium channel were also analysed, but no resistance-associated mutations were identified. Finally, a novel diagnostic assay able to reliably monitor the frequency of the iAChE G488S resistance mutation was developed. CONCLUSION: This is the first attempt to evaluate the efficacy of alpha-cypermethrin against B. oleae from Greece. Data showed that it can be used effectively, but also highlighted the importance of continuous monitoring. The IIS4-IIS6 sodium channel region is the default area in which to look for resistance mutations if target-site resistance to pyrethroids arises. The application of the novel iAChE molecular diagnostic may facilitate the introduction of pyrethroids alongside OPs currently in use.
