The present communication deals with the study on the biology of Othreis materna (L) from egg to adult’s death which was carried out at room temperature of the laboratory to investigate the delicate and vulnerable stages of its life cycle. The life cycle of the moth was completed within 45-61 days, with an average 55.03 days in case of male and within 47-63 days with an average 57.07±4.92 in case of female.

Natural Parasitoids of Fruit Piercing Moth, Eudocima Spp
Journal of Biological Control, 31(1): 10-12, 2017, DOI: 10.18311/jbc/2017/15557 Research Article Natural parasitoids of fruit piercing moth, Eudocima spp. P. N. MAGAR*, S. R. KULKARNI and A. G. CHANDELE Department of Entomology, Post Graduate Institute, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, Dist. Ahmednagar - 413 722, Maharastra, India *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Eudocima spp. (Noctuidae) also known as fruit piercing moth, is a serious pest of tropical countries including subtropical Southeast Asia, Australia, and the western Pacific islands. It is found commonly occurring on ripening fruits. Surveys conducted in Ma- harashtra revealed that three abundant larval parasitoids viz., a tachinid fly, Goniophthalmus halli, eulophid wasps, Euplectrus maternus and Tetrastichus sp. were contributing up to 36.65, 41.46 and 36.58 % larval mortality, respectively. Laboratory assays were conducted to test the parasitoids for host specificity by exposing them to larvae of Eudocima sp. However, Goniophthalmus halli showed parasitization on other species of Eudocima, whereas E. maternus was found to be host specific on E. materna. In laboratory investigation, 72 to 89% parasitization of Trichogramma chilonis on the eggs of E. materna was also recorded.

Developing an Attractant for Monitoring Fruit-Feeding Moths in Citrus Orchards
Developing an attractant for monitoring fruit-feeding moths in citrus orchards A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE of RHODES UNIVERSITY by Mathew Keith Goddard February 2016 Abstract Fruit-piercing moths are a sporadic pest of citrus, especially in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, where the adults can cause significant damage in outbreak years. Currently the only way in which to successfully control fruit-feeding moths within the orchards is the use of repellent lights. However, growers confuse fruit-piercing moths with fruit-sucking moths that don‘t cause primary damage, and there is no way of monitoring which moth species are attacking the fruit in the orchards during the night. In a previous study, banana was shown to be the most attractive bait for a variety of fruit-feeding moth species. Therefore the aim of this study was to determine the population dynamics of fruit-feeding moths develop a cost- effective alternative to the use of fresh banana as a bait for fruit-piercing moths. Fresh banana was compared to nine alternative synthetic attractants, frozen banana and a control under field conditions in several orchards in the Eastern Cape Province. Once again, banana was shown to be the most attractive bait. Some 23 species of fruit-feeding moth species were sampled in the traps, but there was only two fruit-piercing species, Serrodes partita (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Eudocima sp. Surprisingly S. partita, which was thought to be the main pest, comprised only 6.9% of trap catches. Serrodes partita, is a sporadic pest, only becoming problematic every five to 10 years after good rainfall in the Little Karoo region that causes flushes of their larval host, wild plum, Pappea capensis (Ecklon & Zeyher).

Hogenes 1 To whom correspondence should be addressed. Abstract During revisionary work on the genus Eudocima BlLLBERG, 1820 (sensu POOLE, 1989) four species were found to be new to science and are here described: Eudocima mazzeii sp. n. and Eudocima behouneki sp. n., both from the Philippines, where they apparently substitute Eudocima sikhimensis (BUTLER, 1895), Eudocima prolai sp. n., from New Guinea, not directly related to any other species in the genus, and Eudociina treadawayi sp. n., from the Philippines, superficially similar to Eudocima cocalus (CRAMER, 1777). Eudocima apta (WALKER, [1858]) sp. rev., is considered as a distinct species from Eudocima materna (LINNAEUS, 1767) and the following syonymy is reinstated: Phalaena phalonia LINNAEUS, 1763 = Phalaena fullonia CLERCK, [1764] syn. rev., so that the name Eudocima phalonia (LINNAEUS, 1763) comb. n. must be used for the species currently known as Eudociina fullonia (CLERCK, [1764]). An annotated list of the world species is also presented.

Abstract Ltd., Bengaluru, Karnataka, Specific mate recognition and host preference relies on the chemical cues in most animals especially in India nocturnal insects. Host plant volatiles plays an important role in the perception of sex pheromone in males. Pheromone and plant volatiles are not perceived as independent messages and plant cues enhance M Thippaiah discrimination of sex pheromone quality. This confirms the idea that specific mate recognition in noctuid ICAR-National Bureau of moths - evolved in concert with adaptation to host plants. Shifts in either female host preference or sex Agricultural Insect Resources, pheromone biosynthesis give rise to new communication channels. The results of the present study Bengaluru, Karnataka, India indicated that E. materna demonstrated selective polyphagic feeding behavior and uses olfactory cues from preferred fruits to detect and locate potential food sources. Sex pheromone components of E. Raghavendra A materna include (Z, E)-9, 11-Tetradecadienyl acetate (Major component) and Z-9-Tricosene and Z-9- ICAR-National Research Centre Pentacosene (Minor components). To find an effective blend for field trapping, five blends of sex on Pomegranate, Solapur, Maharashtra, India pheromone components were screened by Electroantennography (EAG).
