The genus Iporhogas Granger, 1949 (Braconidae: Rogadinae) is recorded for the first time for Vietnam. Four new species of the genus Iporhogas, viz. Iporhogas albilateralis
sp. n., I. contrastus
sp. n., I. simulatus
sp. n. and I. tricoloratus
sp. n., from Vietnam are described and illustrated, and additionally, one species, Iporhogas guangxiensis Chen & He, 1997, is newly recorded for Vietnam’s fauna of the family Braconidae. A key to the five Vietnamese species of the genus Iporhogas and a checklist with distributions of the ten species are provided.
This report presents observational results of seasonal variations for nearly one year of the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae), collected using Malaise trap in mango orchards in Cao Lanh city, Dong Thap Province and the seasonal fluctuations of the pest were analyzed. A Malaise-trap was set in the mango orchard from June 2018 through April 2019 in Cao Lanh city, Dong Thap Province to investigate the occurrence of Bactrocera dorsalis. In the study, the total 1,335 specimens collected from a Malaise trap were shown that a strong dominance of Bactrocera dorsalis over the two other fruit fly species, being Bactrocera cucurbitae and Bactrocera zonata was recorded. The species oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, frequently appeared in mango orchards, with low numbers from July 2018 the February of the next year. The number of adult fruit flies markedly increased from mid-March to mid-June. Meanwhile, the number of adults entering traps peaked in mid-June 2018 and early April 2019, depending on the development cycle of mango trees. After that time, the density of fruit fly significantly reduced from early August to December.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
