| Abstract: | The bio-ecology of Mimegralla coeruleifrons Macquart (Diptera : Micropezidae) associated with rhizome rot affected ginger rhizomes (Zingiber officinale Rose.) was investigated, The egg, larval and pupal periods ranged between 3-4, 9-13 and 8-11 days respectively, The maggots were present only in rhizomes affected by rhizome rot disease. The maggots were also recorded from other species of Zingiberaceae and Colocasia sp. Aspects of adult behaviour such as mating and oviposition have been studied. Two hymenopteran parasites were recorded from pupae, A brief description of different stages is also provided. |
