“…B. venosana larvae have been recorded to highly effectively control C. rotundus, a species of the genus Cyperus, in Australia (Peerzada 2017). Vargas and Vargas-Ortiz (2019) mentioned that larvae of the genus Bactra feed in the sedge stem. In India, the larvae have been found to bore into the stem of Cyperus rotundus and made their plants dwarf (Singh et al 2020).…”

“…Tortricidae is one of the large families of the order Lepidoptera and is mostly pests (Jerome et al 2012;Özdem 2020). Bactra Stephens, 1834 (Olethreutinae: Bactrini) is a common genus of the family Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) and has been recognized as a major pest on the family Cyperaceae (Vargas and Vargas-Ortiz 2019). The nutsedge borer, Bactra venosana (Zeller, 1847), is common in many parts of the world, such as Africa, Europe, and Asia (Sohn et al 2015).…”

Abstract. Nguyen HU, Phan QN, Dang HT, Son TTN, Nguyen HN, Nguyen THT. 2021. Morphology, biology, and damage behaviors of nutsedge borer (Bactra venosana Zeller) in Tra Vinh Province, Vietnam. Biodiversitas 23: 733-741. Nutsedge borer, Bactra venosana Zeller (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is a common pest of sedge in Tra Vinh Province. To control this species, its morphology, biology, and behaviors were investigated in Tra Vinh Province. The study was conducted with the aim of determining the information related to the Bactra venosana, as a basis for developing a strategy to manage this species by means of safety solutions. The study was carried out by surveying the behavior of nutsedge borer in sedge fields and determining their morphological and biological characteristics under laboratory conditions. The results showed that the eggs were 1.06 ± 0.17 mm (in length), 0.84 ± 0.16 (in width), oval, and white after turning pale yellow. Larvae progressed through 5 instars with body length and width of 1.20 ± 0.18 mm to 11.3 ± 1.23 mm and from 0.25 ± 0.05 to 1.05 ± 0.25 mm, respectively. Newly hatched larvae were dark yellow, and pupae were pale green. The male pupa was 7.75 ± 0.68 mm long, while the female was 8.46 ± 0.93 mm long, light green, and dark brown about to mature. The male adult of B. venosana was usually gray-brown and 7.70 ± 0.60 mm in body length, whereas the female adult was silver-gray, 8.41 ± 0.86 mm. The life cycle passed 35.9 ± 2.55 days in laboratory conditions. Under field conditions, eggs were laid scattered on the surface of the host plants. Larvae bored inside the stems of sedge. Newly damaged sedge plants had no symptoms at first whose bodies got soft, turned from light green to pale yellow, and gradually wilted and died.

Olethreutini fauna in Thailand consists of 171 species belonging to 57 genera. This checklist is based on literature in which Olethreutini species have been described or recorded and identified specimens that were deposited in Kasetsart Kamphaengsaen Insect Collection (KKIC), Thailand. Of those, 36 species still were reported only in Thailand. Five genera (Lipsotelus, Meiligma, Metrioglypha, Prophaecasia, and Psilacantha) are new records for Thailand. Furthermore, 29 species are also recorded from Thailand for the first time.
