(Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) and Aganaspis sp. (Hymenoptera: Figitidae). In the field we observed a species of Chrysopidae (Neuroptera) larva feeding on the sentinel pupae of D. inedulis. We conducted experiments on the efficiency of a toxic bait made from the bacteria Saccharopolyspora spinosa, as a new alternative for controlling D. inedulis on yellow passion fruit. 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 {1893, title = {BIOLOG{\'I}A Y ALGUNOS DATOS MORFOL{\'O}GICOS DE LA MOSCA DEL BOT{\'O}N FLORAL DE LA PITAYA AMARILLA, DASIOPS SALTANS (TOWNSEND) (DIPTERA: LONCHAEIDAE) EN EL VALLE DEL CAUCA, COLOMBIA }, journal = {Bolet{\'\i}n del Museo de Entomolog{\'\i}a de la Universidad del Valle}, volume = {11}, year = {2010}, pages = {1-10}, abstract = {In the present study, we provide information on the duration, characteristics and habits of the different devel- opmental stages of the flower bud fly, Dasiops saltans (Townsend) (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) as a result of field and laboratory observations. The development time of D. saltans from oviposition to the emergence of the adult was 20.85 ({\textpm} 5.94) days in average. The egg stage had a mean duration of 3.74 days. The larval stage had a mean duration of 9.05 days from the time the first-instar larva hatches from the egg until the third-instar thelarva exits the flower bud to pupate in the ground. The pupal stage had a mean time of 8.06 days. The adult lived approximately eight days. Dasiops saltans oviposits in the flower buds, and its larvae consume the anthers and other internal parts inhibiting its growth as a consequence. Flower buds affected by D. saltans become reddish in color and easily drop to the ground. Dasiops saltans is found throughout the flowering season feeding on flower buds that are 1.0 to 35.0 cm in length. En este trabajo se presenta informaci{\'o}n sobre la duraci{\'o}n, caracter{\'\i}sticas y h{\'a}bitos de los diferentes estados de desarrollo de la mosca del bot{\'o}n floral de la pitaya, Dasiops saltans (Townsend) (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) co- mo resultado de observaciones realizadas en el campo y laboratorio. Los valores promedio obtenidos desde oviposici{\'o}n hasta emergencia fueron de 20.85 ({\textpm} 5.94) d{\'\i}as, huevo: 3.74 d{\'\i}as. Las larvas tienen un tiempo promedio de 9.05 d{\'\i}as desde que los huevos eclosionan, hasta que estas salen de los botones florales en el ter- cer estado larval para empupar en el suelo. El estado pupal tiene una duraci{\'o}n de 8.06 d{\'\i}as. El adulto vive aproximadamente ocho d{\'\i}as. Dasiops saltans oviposita en los botones florales, y las larvas barrenan las ante- ras deteniendo as{\'\i} su crecimiento. Los botones florales afectados por D. saltans se tornan rojizos y caen con facilidad.
