Euxesta sp. (corn-silk fly) is a highly polyphagous insect genus that affects horticultural crops, fruit trees, and industrial crops. It causes huge economic losses in sweet corn (maize). Damage is caused by larvae feeding on corn silk, kernels and the remainder of the cob. Chemical treatments applied to maize crops are often not effective; therefore, efforts to control the fly must focus on finding alternative methods, such as biological control. The aim of this work was to determine the effects of Euxestophaga argentinensis (Hymenoptera, Figitidae) parasitism on corn-silk fly larvae, in two different planting dates: late winter and late summer. Samples were taken during spring and autumn in a commercial Bt sweet corn for two consecutive years. A total of 20 ears of corn per sample were collected at random and were placed in plastic trays, stored at 22 ± 2°C and 70 ± 5% RH and exposed to a 14:10 h photoperiod. Euxesta eluta and Euxesta mazorca pupae were separated, placed in separate plastic vials and periodically checked for emergence of adult flies and parasitoids. E. eluta has greater potential to damage sweet corn crops than E. mazorca. Parasitism was higher in late winter than in late summer, while only E. eluta was parasitized.

“…O baixo número de espécies encontradas se deve à falta de especialistas no País, impossibilitando a identificação de espécimes coletados (Uchôa-Fernandes et al, 2003;Rodrigues et al, 2006); além da taxonomia pouco resolvida do grupo, com muitos gêneros carecendo de revisão (Foote, 1960;Kameneva & Korneyev, 2006, 2010. As principais revisões realizadas nas últimas décadas são da fauna da América Central (Steyskal, 1971;Kameneva, 2004aKameneva, ,b, 2005Kameneva, , 2009 e os principais trabalhos realizados no Brasil são relativos às poucas espécies de importância econômica (Cruz et al, 2011), sendo essa uma amostragem defasada da fauna local se considerarmos a biologia do grupo. …”

ABSTRACT. Checklist of species of Ropalomeridae, Sphaeroceridae and Ulidiidae (Diptera, Acalyptratae) of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. In this paper it is provided a checklist of the Ropalomeridae, Sphaeroceridae and Ulidiidae species registered in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The Ropalomeridae is represented by eight species distributed in four genera: Dactylissa Fischer (1), Kroeberia Lindner (1), Ropalomera Wiedemann (5) and Willistoniella Mik (1). A single species of Sphaeroceridae is recorded for the state: Neosphaerocera fl avicoxa (Malloch, 1925), as well as of Ulidiidae: Notogramma cimiciforme Loew, 1868.

“…(Umaña 2005). The picture winged fly Euxesta mazorca Steyskal, 1974, has been reported as damaging maize in Brazil (Cruz et al 2011). Good cultural practices to remove dead or dying plant tissues and preventing overwatering which promotes suitable habitat and growth of algae may help mitigate problems with many of these fly species.…”
