The Lonchaeidae family comprises species that are\ considered of major economic importance due of their damage
in several crops. In sweet passion fruit (Passiflora ligularis\ Juss),\ these flies cause high infestation in flower buds and fruits, however
only a few basic studies about the species associated with\ the damage are available. Samples of flower buds and fruits
were taken and McPhail trap baits with Torula yeast were placed\ in sweet passion fruit orchards in Oxapampa (Pasco, Peru)
in 2015-2016. In addition, other hosts were collected in this\ period. We found Dasiops inedulis Steykal infesting the flower
buds, while Dasiops frieseni Norrbom \& McAlpine infesting\ sweet passion fruits. Moreover, other Lonchaeidae-hosts interactions
are related. Through Torula yeast baits, 14 species of\ lance flies were detected and high numbers of D. inedulis specimens
were captured.

ABSTRACT

Yellow passionfruit (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa O. Deg.) is a tropical fruit crop that is meeting increasing demand both in local and international markets in South America. The lance fly, Dasiops inedulis (Diptera: Lonchaeidae), affects P. edulis floral buds and flowers, and is thought to cause important yield losses in this crop. In Colombia, D. inedulis are commonly controlled through calendar based applications of chemically synthesized insecticides, and no scientific criteria exist to guide pest management. In the present study, we simulated D. inedulis injury to passionfruit plants, over the course of three production cycles. We assessed the effect of seven different categories of flower bud removal (from 0\% to 79.9\%) on passionfruit yield and fruit quality parameters. Removal rates above 20\% caused a significant reduction in the number of flowers, while yield levels were lowest at 50\–79.9\% bud removal. With increasing rates of flower bud removal, we observed higher initial production of buds and lower levels of natural abortion of floral and fruiting structures. For the three consecutive harvests, maximum yield levels were 7.57 65.51 kg (mean6SD; with 0\–9.9\% damage), and minimum yield was 2.37 62.15 kg (60\–69.9\% damage) per plant. For fruit quality parameters, D. inedulis injury did not affect fruit pulp weight or the content of soluble solids (Brix). Our work provides insights into the impact of D. inedulis on yellow passionfruit production, and constitutes a basis for future integrated pest management programs for this pest.

This toxic bait maintained the injury levels below the conventional management used by farmers and the control plots in both study areas. A list of natural enemies of D. inedulis was compiled by inspecting passion fruit flower buds, using sentinel pupae, and information taken from the literature. For the control of D. inedulis, an integrated pest management strategy is proposed that will allow the farmer to maintain D. inedulis populations under control with different management tools, i.e., natural enemies which can be incorporated at different stages of development of D. inedulis, low toxicity baits, recollection of flower buds with symptoms of damage, monitoring with McPhail traps baited with protein hydrolysate, thus intervening at different stages the development breaking its life cycle }, author = {Edgar Mauricio Quintero, and Isabel Cristina L{\'o}pez and Takumasa Kondo} } @article {1329, title = {A revision of the Neotropical species of Dasiops Rondani (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) attacking Passiflora (Passifloraceae).
