| Abstract | The life cycle of the moth,Meskea horor Dyar and its host specificity toSida acuta andS. rhombifolia were investigated. Moths emerge early in the morning and are usually inactive during the day. Feeding by the adults in the field was not observed. However, those in the laboratory fed on flowers ofS. acuta, S. rhombifolia andHibiscus sabdariffa, and drank water or dilute honey solution. Eggs are mainly laid on the underside of leaves. Larvae ofM. horor form galls in the stems ofS. acuta andS. rhombifolia which retard plant growth and flowering. Pupation occurs within the gall. The development time from egg to adult was 192 days and the adults lived for 11 to 14 days. Forty-eight plant species were tested to determine the host range ofM. horor. Adults emerged from seven species of plants in the family Malvaceae and larvae formed galls but died before pupating on a further 17 species.M. horor is considered to have too broad a host range to be used as a biological control agent forS. acuta andS. rhombifolia.Le cycle de développement deMeskea horor Dyar et sa spécificité vis-à-vis des hôtes,Sida acuta etS. rhombifolia ont été étudiés. Les lépidoptères émergent tôt le matin et sont généralement inactifs pendant la journée. Si l’alimentation des adultes n’a jamais été observée dans la nature, en laboratoire par contre, ces insectes se nourrissent de fleurs deS. acuta, S. rhombifolia etHibiscus sabdariffa et boivent de l’eau ou une solution diluée de miel. Les oeufs sont pondus principalement sur la surface inférieure des feuilles. Les larves deM. horor forment des galles à l’intérieur des tiges deS. acuta, ce qui retarde la croissance et la floraison de la plante. La nymphose a lieu dans la galle. La durée de développement, de l’oeuf à l’adulte, est de 192 jours et les adultes vivent entre 11 et 14 jours. Quarante-huit espèces de plantes ont été testées pour déterminer la gamme d’hôtes deM. horor. Les adultes émergent de 7 espèces de plantes appartenant à la famille des Malvacées et les larves forment des galles mais meurent avant nymphose dans 17 autres espèces. En conséquence,M. horor ayant une gamme d’hôtes trop étendue ne peut être utilisé comme agent de lutte biologique contreS. acuta etS. rhombifolia. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
