Abstract: Among the pests of cassava, the shoot fly, Neosilba perezi (Romero & Ruppell), is one of the most prevalent. It attacks mainly the terminal shoots and causes infested plants to produce lateral shoots. Reports on this species are rare or inexistent; thus, the purpose of this study was to assess three different areas for N. perezi infestation. The survey began in March 2008 and finished in February 2009. Fortnightly analyses were performed starting 45 days after planting, calculating the rate of infestation by … Show more

“…All mentioned species occur in São Paulo all year long (RAgA et al 2015). Neosilba perezi occurs in cassava sprouts (loURenção et al 1996;giSloti & pRAdo 2011). Polyphagous species have a wider geographic distribution than species considered to be specialists, in many cases exhibit niche overlap, and many species can infest the same host RAgA et al 2011).…”

“…The cassava plant is prey to attacks from a large number of arthropod pests, which can cause damage to every part of the plant, causing losses in productivity (Bellotti et al, 1999(Bellotti et al, , 2012. The flies from the Lonchaeidae family contain species which can cause loss to many crops with an agricultural importance (Strikis & Prado, 2005), among them, the Neosilba perezi (Romero & Ruppel, 1973), which is associated with the cassava plant (Gisloti & Prado, 2013) and occurs in the major productive regions of Brazil (De Lorenzi & Nora, 2016;Gisloti & Prado, 2011;Lonchaeidae Online, 2015). Females of N. perezi lay eggs between the bud`s leaves, the larvae hatch in about four days, perforate the not yet expanded leaves, causing the death of the apical bud (Hogue, 1993;Farias et al, 2007…”

“…The Lonchaeidae family has been long overlooked by researches because of a lack of taxonomic knowledge; however, there has been an increasing interest in studying such insects since lonchaeids have been collected during tephritids' monitoring. In addition, these insects have also been assigned as primary pest in Malpighia punicifolia L. (Araújo and Zucchi, 2002), Citrus reticulada Blanco (Lopes et al, 2008), Passiflora edulis f. Flavicarpa (Aguiar-Menezes et al, 2004) and Manihot esculenta (Lourenção et al, 1996;Gistoli and Prado, 2011).…”
