Latin Name | Cryptophlebia batrachopa |
Common Name | Litchi Fruit Borer |
Biology | A tortricid moth. Larvae bore into fruits; pupation occurs in soil or plant debris. Multivoltine in warm climates. |
Damage | Fruit infestation (avocado, mango, citrus) causes rot, premature drop, and reduced market value. Larvae leave frass in fruits. |
Distribution Regions | Native to Africa; present in Australia, Southeast Asia, and parts of South America. |
Monitoring | Pheromone traps using C. batrachopa sex lures; fruit sampling for larval entry holes. |
Recommended Traps | Sticky delta traps or wing traps with species-specific pheromone lures. |
