JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 60(1), 176-&.

By: R. Axtell n

TL;DR: Twenty chemicals or combinations of chemicals were evaluated for their repellency toward Hippelates pusio Loew with turntables in the field and limited tests indicated that a repellent that is effective against H. pusio is not necessarily effective againstH. (via Semantic Scholar)

TEMPERATURE EFFECTS ON IMMATURE STAGES OF HIPPELATES PUSIO H BISHOPPI AND H PALLIPES (DIPTERA - CHLOROPIDAE)

ANNALS OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA, 60(5), 1055-+.

By: M. Karandinos n & R. Axtell n

TL;DR: The percent development of the immature stages of Hippelates pusio Loew, H. bishoppi Sabrosky, and H. pallipes (Loew) was high and independent of temperature in the range of 65°–95°F, and the prolongation of the larval stage was proportionally greater than for the egg and pupal stages.

SENSORY FUNCTIONS OF PALPS AND 1ST TARSI OF MACROCHELES MUSCAEDOMESTICAE (ACARINA - MACROCHELIDAE) A PREDATOR OF HOUSE FLY

ANNALS OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA, 59(1), 165-&.

By: D. Farish n & R. Axtell n

MeSH headings : Houseflies; Insect Control; Mites
TL;DR: The effect of amputations of the palps and tarsi I on the sensory behavior of Macrocheles muscaedomesticae (Scopoli), a mite which is predaceous on house fly, was determined and it was concluded that receptors of olfactory stimuli are on tarps I and receptors of contact stimulus are on the palPS.
