Description
Summary:Black sapote Diospyros digyna Jacq. (Ericales: Ebenacea) is recorded as a new host of Bephratelloides ablusus Grissell & Foster (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae). This pest has been found in Mexico, and is generally associated with Annona (Magnoliales: Annonaceae). We present evidence that supports the hypothesis that Bephratelloides spp. has host species outside the Annonaceae.
