Occurrence of Conioscinella nuda (Diptera: Chloropidae) in native and introduced bluestem

Adult flies of Conioscinella nuda (Adams) were reared from seedheads of Andropogon gerardii Vitman, Schizachyrium scoparium (Michx.) Nash, and Bothriochloa ischaemum (L.) Keng var. ischaemum collected near Stillwater, El Reno, and Sayre, Oklahoma, respectively. Previously, studies on taxonomy had be...

Description
Summary:Adult flies of Conioscinella nuda (Adams) were reared from seedheads of Andropogon gerardii Vitman, Schizachyrium scoparium (Michx.) Nash, and Bothriochloa ischaemum (L.) Keng var. ischaemum collected near Stillwater, El Reno, and Sayre, Oklahoma, respectively. Previously, studies on taxonomy had been conducted with this insect, but no information on host range was given. C. nuda could potentially be an economically important pest of native and introduced chaffy-seeded, warm-season grasses grown for seed.
