Mexican Rice Borer

Five species of parasitoids of larval stalkborer were evaluated in Texas in 1987 against the Mexican rice borer, Eoreuma loftini (Dyar), in field enclosures in rice, Oryza sativa L. The braconids, Alabagrus stigma (Brullé) and Allorhogas pyralophagus Marsh, and the bethylid, Goniozus natalensis Gordh, each parasitized >5% of the available E. loftini. The braconids, Apanteles minator Muesebeck and Macrocentrus prolificus Wharton, parasitized <1% of the available hosts. Allorhogas pyralophagus parasitized the highest percentage of borers, including 65.6% of the fifth- and sixth-instar E. loftini. Alabagrus stigma and G. natalensis parasitized fewer borers overall, although parasitism by A. stigma averaged 21.2% of small E. loftini in the rice leafsheaths. Alabagrus stigma, A. pyralophagus, and G. natalensis are candidates for further evaluation in the event that E. loftini becomes a pest of rice in Texas.

Almond Moth

The effect of the presence of the Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), on the capture of the almond moth, Cadra cautella (Walker), in pheromone-baited traps was evaluated. It was found that when both sexes of each species were released into a large warehouse simultaneously, the capture of male C. cautella was reduced to 5.5 ± 0.8 in traps baited with a two-component lure as compared to 11.4 ± 2.2 when only C. cautella were released. This decrease in response may have been caused by an inhibitory substance produced by the female P. interpunctella that affects the response of male C. cautella to the pheromone or confusion caused by an increase in the amount of pheromone present. This reduced response of C. cautella must be considered when using pheromone-baited traps to estimate population levels when both species are present.

A New Species

AbstractFollowing the discovery of Lydella jaliscosp. n. (from Jalisco, Mexico), a parasite of the Mexican rice borer, Eoreuma loftini (Dyar) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), the limits of the genus Lydella Robineau-Desvoidy have been widened to include Diatraeophaga Townsend syn. n., Metoposisyrops Townsend syn. n., and Metagonistylum Townsend syn. n. All species regarded as belonging to Lydella are listed, with L. minense (Townsend) comb. n., L. oryzae (Townsend) comb. n., L. scirpophagae (Chao & Shi) comb. n., L. sesamiae (Mesnil) comb. n., and L. striatalis (Townsend) comb. n.

Mexican Rice Borer

The Mexican rice borer, Eoreuma loftini (Dyar), is the primary pest of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas; yet, few studies have examined its economic impact. Knowledge of the spatial patterns of the rice borer and associated damage in sugarcane would be useful in designing studies to further investigate the economic importance of this pest. We examined the respective spatial patterns of larvae, pupae, tunnels and damaged internodes using Taylor's power law for population estimates based on plots or sites within fields and based on fields. Estimates based on plots or sites featured smaller sample sizes and greater variability than estimates based on fields. Analyses based on plots or sites also indicated between-field heterogeneity in estimates of Taylor's b for small, medium and large larvae, and for pupae. Such heterogeneity was not observed for total larvae, tunnels and bored internodes. In contrast, analyses based on fields indicated that common-slopes models were appropriate for each population category. The inconsistencies between results of analyses for plots or sites compared with those for fields probably resulted from the inadequacy of population estimates derived from the smaller-sized sample units. Based on samples from fields, counts exhibited mild clumping except for medium-sized larvae (random distribution) and pupae (regular distribution). Our results indicate that counts of most population categories of the rice borer are mildly clumped and that the observed distribution pattern is sensitive to sample size.
