Abstract
Bedellia somnulentella Zeller, 1847 (Lepidoptera: Bedelliidae), microlepidoptera leafminer of plants of the Convolvulaceae family, has Ipomoea batatas as its main commercial host. The distribution of this insect is cosmopolitan, with importance in different regions of the world. The aim was to report the occurrence of B. somnulentella in the Atlantic Forest, as well as its host plant and a predator, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Distimake dissectus var. edentatus (Convolvulaceae) plants was damaged in the Atlantic Forest biome in the municipality of Viçosa, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Agelaia vicina Saussure, 1854 (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) fed on B. somnulentella caterpillars and pupae. The record of this insect on D. dissectus var. edentatus expands the number of its hosts in the Atlantic Forest. The record of the predator A. vicina increases the number of enemies and reinforces the importance of Vespidae to reducing populations of the leaf miner B. somnulentella in the field.
期刊介绍:
Phytoparasitica is an international journal on Plant Protection, that publishes original research contributions on the biological, chemical and molecular aspects of Entomology, Plant Pathology, Virology, Nematology, and Weed Sciences, which strives to improve scientific knowledge and technology for IPM, in forest and agroecosystems. Phytoparasitica emphasizes new insights into plant disease and pest etiology, epidemiology, host-parasite/pest biochemistry and cell biology, ecology and population biology, host genetics and resistance, disease vector biology, plant stress and biotic disorders, postharvest pathology and mycotoxins. Research can cover aspects related to the nature of plant diseases, pests and weeds, the causal agents, their spread, the losses they cause, crop loss assessment, and novel tactics and approaches for their management.
