We studied the morphology of the ovipositor ofPlatygaster diplosisae(Hymenoptera: Platygasteridae) andAprostocetus procerae(=Tetrastichus pachydiplosisae) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), two parasitoids associated with the African rice gall midge (AFRGM), andOrseolia oryzivora(Diptera: Cecidomyiidae). Scanning electron microscope techniques were used for this study. The ovipositor ofP. diplosisaewas short (40 μm), and most of the sensillae found on it were mechanoreceptors and located on the distal portion of the 3rd valvulae. These sensillae may be involved in selection of an egg or larval host. The shortness of this ovipositor may be an adaptation to a host whose egg envelope thickness is not more than 0.7 μm. The ovipositor ofA. proceraewas 30 times (1.2 mm) the length of theP. diplosisaeovipositor. It was not only well equipped with mechanoreceptive sensillae, but these sensillae were very diverse and distributed along the length of the valvulae. The 10 denticulations of the lancet of this ovipositor allow this parasitoid to exploit hosts that are not otherwise readily accesible. These two parasitoids share the same resource by infesting different life stages of the host. The ovipositor of each species of parasitoid enhanced resource sharing, due to its length and its sensillae type and distribution.

The mechanisms and host plant responses that are indicative of tolerance to the African rice gall midge, Orseolia oryzivora Harris & Gagne were investigated in four promising donor rice cultivars, Cisadane, Bw 348-1, Tox 4093-17-1 and ITA 306 (local check), in a screen house at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria. Results indicated that Cisadane was tolerant to infestations on the basis of higher (P<0.05) percentage seedling survival, production of significantly higher number of fertile tillers, productive panicles and significantly higher grain yield per infested plant than the control. Both single infestation at one larva per plant and adult infestation once at 14 days after seeding were positively correlated to higher fertile tiller production per infested plant (at 80 days after transplanting) and higher grain yield per infested plant at maturity. The grain yield per infested plant was significantly higher (P<0.05) in the tolerant variety (Cisadane) than in the control.

AbstractThe African rice gall midge, Orseolia oryzivora sp. n., is described and illustrated from adults of both sexes, larvae and pupae collected in West Africa. This species had previously been misidentified as O. oryzae (Wood-Mason), which is a major pest of rice in Asia, but the two species are morphologically distinct in the larval, pupal and adult stages. All available African material has been examined, and O. oryzivora is recorded from cultivated rice in Senegal, Upper Volta, Ivory Coast, Nigeria and the Sudan. Larvae and pupae collected from Paspalum in Upper Volta differ from typical O. oryzivora in some morphological characters and probably represent an undescribed species of Orseolia
