Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Abstract
Chelonus chailini sp. n., which was discovered recently during a survey of potential biocontrol agents of the cocoa pest Conopomorpha cramerella (Snellen) in Malaysia, is described and illustrated. Five other gracillariid leaf-miners and bud-borers (Acrocercops globulifera Meyrick, A. diffluella van Deventer, A. caerulea Meyrick, A. phaeospora Meyrick and Epicephala chalybacma Meyrick) are cited as hosts of C. chailini, and brief notes on its biology are given.
