Abstract : Sweet Granadilla (Passiflora ligularis) is a crop of great importance for Ecuador because it has agro export prospects in countries like Colombia have conducted research to learn pests affecting it; in Ecuador they have not executed these activities why there are no records of the pest that most commonly attack plants of Passiflora. This study aimed to determine the severity of the Lonchaeidae species attack this crop, and identify the causative agent. The present study was carried out in the province of Tungurahua, Ba\ños canton, parish Illuchi. 15 plants were selected on five sites, 4 reviews spaced 30 days, in each sample, 50 flowers/plants/site were considered. In order to obtain adult specimens, adequate samples were collected from the field, and maintained in the laboratory condition for the identification of imagos. Totally 9766 samples were collected and evaluated, out of which 20.51\% are flowering botton affected by plague and 39.76\% of the flowers were destroyed by the Dasiops larvae attack the ovary of flower bud. Dasiops curubae and Dasiops brevicornis are new record of parasite species for Ecuador and Passiflora ligularis is also a new record of host species

The Silba admirabilis species group is diagnosed within the genus Silba Macquart by the combination of partly yellow
tarsomeres and the distinctive features of the male genitalia. Thirteen new species within this species group are described from the Afrotropical region; namely Silba bakongo MacGowan sp. nov., Silba boulangi MacGowan sp. nov., Silba bredoi MacGowan sp. nov., Silba garamba MacGowan sp. nov., Silba hambai MacGowan sp. nov., Silba inimvua\ MacGowan sp. nov., Silba lubumbashi MacGowan sp. nov., Silba mbuti MacGowan sp. nov., Silba saegeri MacGowan sp. nov., Silba spiculata MacGowan sp. nov., Silba tekei MacGowan sp. nov., Silba upemba MacGowan sp. nov., and Silba wittei MacGowan sp. nov. Ten previously described\  species within the genus Silba are also identified as belonging to the S. admirabilis species group. One species of the genus Lonchaea also belonging to this group is re-assigned to Silba.
The synonymies Silba displata McAlpine, 1964 = Silba hilli (Malloch, 1928) and Silba fragranti MacGowan, 2007 = Silba\ chalkei McAlpine, 1956 are established. A key and illustrations of male genitalia are provided to all species. Further\ information is presented relating to the taxonomy and distribution of previously described members of this species group\ whose range extends from the Afrotropical to Australasian regions.

Many species of Lonchaeidae predominate in the complex of fruit flies (Tephritoidea) infesting more species of host fruits that the species of Tephritidae. In the southern hemisphere, very little is known about the diversity of the species of Lonchaeidae and their host relationship. This paper records the species of Lonchaeidae and their respective host plants as recovered out of a total of 1,522 samples of fruit relating to 113 plant species coming from 94 municipalities of the State of S\ão Paulo, Brazil. A total of 26,906 Lonchaeidae adults were obtained, belonging to 14 species of Neosilba McAlpine, Dasiops inedulis Steyskal, Dasiops frieseni Norrbom \& McAlpine and Lonchaea sp. Specimens of Neosilba represented 99.78 \% of the adults recovered: N. bella Strikis \& Prado, N. bifida Strikis \& Prado, N. certa (Walker), N. cornuphallus Strikis, N. dimidiata Curran, N. inesperata Strikis \& Prado, N. glaberrima (Wiedemann), N. laura Strikis, N. paramerolatus Strikis, N. parva Hennig, N. pradoi Strikis \& Lerena, N. pendula (Bezzi), N. perezi (Romero \& Ruppel) and N. zadolicha McAlpine \& Steyskal.

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.
