摘要
在2020年7月至9月进行的调查中,发现了一种小蜂类孤寄生昆虫内寄生类微蜂(Meteorus pulchricornis, Wesmael)(膜翅目:小蜂科:Euphorinae)寄生在玉米的入侵害虫秋粘虫(FAW), frugiperda (J. E. Smith)(鳞翅目:夜蛾科)身上。pulchricornis是印度FAW已知和迅速扩大的拟寄生虫复群的新成员。本研究提供了pulchricornis的形态学鉴定细节,以及其他近缘种和混淆种的比较记录。
Meteorus pulchricornis(Wesmael) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), another addition to the native parasitoid complex of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in India
During the surveys undertaken in July-September 2020, a braconid solitary koinobiont endoparasitoid, Meteorus pulchricornis (Wesmael) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Euphorinae) was found parasitizing the invasive pest, fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in maize. Meteorus pulchricornis is a new addition to the known and rapidly expanding parasitoid complex of FAW in India. The present study provides morphological identification details of M. pulchricornis along with comparison notes of other closely allied and confusing species.
