“…Verma (1983) reported 3% larval parasitism of A. moorei by E. xanthaspis in Rajasthan. The higher parasitism (8%) of this tachinid was observed on S. exigua larvae in cotton fields in Turkey (Efil and Kara, 2004). In Africa, another tachinid fly, Palexorista zonata appeared as a primary parasitoid with 12% larval parasitism in maize within two years of invasion of S. frugiperda (Sisay et al, 2018).…”

For the first time, the tachinid fly, Exorista xanthaspis (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Tachinidae), was found to parasitize the larvae of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) collected from maize fields in Karnataka, India. The field survey conducted during 2018-19 revealed the occurrence of E. xanthaspis on the larvae of S. frugiperda with the parasitism rate of 1.85 to 4.55% in maize fields. The identity of tachinid parasitoid was confirmed by amplifying Cytochrome Oxidase I gene (CO1-658 bp) and DNA

“…Before this study, approximately 196 Tachinidae species were known in Turkey (Öncüer, 1991;Kara, 2001;Tschorsnig and Kara, 2002;Efil and Kara, 2004;Sertkaya and Bayram, 2005;Kara et al, 2007). This number probably will increase in future.…”

“…Different management options to control this pestiferous insect exist such as use of pheromones (Acín, Rosell, Guerrero, & Quero, 2010;Deng, Wei, Huang, & Du, 2004;Mujiono, Witjaksono, & Putra, 2015), host-plant resistance (Eigenbrode & Trumble, 1994;Eigenbrode, Trumble, & Jones, 1993;Guo, Wu, & Wan, 2011), biological control by the use of nuclear polyhedrosis virus (Zamora-Avilés et al, 2017), use of pesticides (Moulton, Pepper, & Dennehy, 2000;Moulton, Pepper, Jansson, & Dennehy, 2002) and parasitoids releases (Efil & Kara, 2004;Liu & Li, 2006). Several parasitoid species have been reported to parasitize S. exigua in many parts of the world (Cai et al, 2012;Ghazali, Md-Zain, & Yaakop, 2014;Stapel, Ruberson, Gross, & Lewis, 1997).…”

The beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a polyphagous insect that is distributed worldwide and was recently reported as an important pest on African indigenous vegetables. Cotesia icipe Fernandez‐Triana & Fiaboe (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a recently described parasitoid, reported from various Afrotropical countries. This work investigated the performance of C. icipe on S. exigua infesting Amaranthus dubius Mart. ex Thell. under laboratory conditions. Cotesia icipe was aggressive on the host and successfully oviposited on S. exigua with 70% of parasitoid females ovipositing after 2 hr of exposure. Parasitoid densities significantly affected the parasitism rate and the nonreproductive larval mortality. Parasitism rate was 9.7 ± 0.8% and 59.5 ± 3.1% for a single and cohort of five females released, respectively, when offered 50 host larvae. The cohort female release resulted in significantly higher larval nonreproductive mortality than the single release. However, there was no significant difference between parasitoid release densities in regard to pupal nonreproductive mortality. The larval and pupal mortalities in the presence of C. icipe were significantly higher than the natural mortalities at both parasitoid release densities. The parasitoid sex ratio was female‐biased for the cohort females but balanced when a single female was released. The hind tibia and forewing lengths were not affected by the density of female parasitoids but there were variations according to sex. The implication of these findings on the potential use of C. icipe for biological control of S. exigua in amaranth production systems is discussed.
