Comparison on morphology, biology, and ecology of fruit flies, Bactrocera (Tetradacus) minax (Enderlein), Bactrocera (Bactrocera) dorsalis (Hendel) Bactrocera, and Bactrocera (Zeugodacus) cucurbitae Coquillett
A comparison study was made on morphology, biology, and ecology of Bactrocera (Tetradacus) minax (Enderlein),Bactrocera (Bactrocera) dorsalis (Hendel), and Bactrocera (Zeugodacus) cucurbitae (Coquillett). Their distribution, host,morphological characteristics, growth stage and life history were studied; besides, the damage of these species to their hosts and the control measures were also presented. The results are beneficial to the identification of the species and their management.
