MONTILLA-CORONADO, Rafael Paúl y RAMOS-GOMEZ, Carlos Eduardo. Leaf-miners in basil Ocimum basilicum L. and its parasitoid. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2022, vol.25, n.2, e2292. Epub 15-Dic-2022. ISSN 0123-4226. https://doi.org/10.31910/rudca.v25.n2.2022.2292.
Basil is a plant with worldwide distribution, used daily in the preparation of meals. In Venezuela, aspects of basil pesto insects and their natural controllers are unknown. The present work offers information on a leafminer fly and a parasitoid that were found in samples of plants with signs of foliar damage, coming from family orchards near the Henri Pittier National Park, from the Girardot and Iragorry municipalities of Aragua state, which were placed in breeding chambers for the emergence of adults, once they emerged they were captured and properly mounted for identification. As a result, adults of a diptera and a parasitoid wasp were identified as Calycomyza hyptidis and Opius sp. This parasitoid constitutes the first record of a parasitic association on C. hyptidis on basil. All the adults were deposited in the Museum of Insects of Agricultural Interest (MIIA).
