Abstract

The host plant range of two ricefield caseworms, Parapoynx fluctuosalis (Zeller) and P. diminutalis Snellen (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), was determined from screening rice and 61 weeds in the Philippines. Both species developed best on the aquatic weed Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle (Hydrocharitaceae). Parapoynx fluctuosalis also completed a full generation from egg to egg on Cyperus brevifolius (Rottb.) Hassk. (Cyperaceae), Commelina diffusa Burm. f. (Commelinaceae), Leptochloa chinensis (L.) Nees, and Paspalum conjugatum Berg (Poaceae). Parapoynx diminutalis completed a generation on Chara vulgaris L. (Characeae), Ottelia alismoides (L.) Vahl and Blyxa auberti Rich. (Hydrocharitaceae), and Cyperus rotundus L. (Cyperaceae).

Résumé

La game de plantes-hôtes de deux larves de champs rizicoles, Parapoynx fluctuosalis (Zeller) et P. diminutalis Snellen (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a été déterminée en passant au crible du riz et 61 adventices des rizières aux Philippines. Toutes les deux espèces accomplissaient le meilleur développement sur Hydrilla verticilla (L.f.) Royle (Hydrocharitaceae), une adventice aquatique. Parapoynx fluctuosalis était aussi capable d'accomplir une génération complète d'oeuf à oeuf sur Cyperus brevifolius (Rottb.) Hassk. (Cyperaceae), Commelina diffusa Burm. f. (Commelinaceae), Leptochloa chinensis (L.) Nees, et Paspalum conjugatum Berg (Poaceae). Parapoynx diminutalis a accompli une génération sur Chara vulgaris L. (Characeae), Ottelia alismoides (L.) Vahl et Blyxa auberti Rich. (Hydrocharitaceae) et Cyperus rotundus L. (Cyperaceae).
