Abstract

This study showed that brinjal, Solanum melongena Linnaeus is the first global host of the fruit fly, Bactrocera penecorrecta Drew (Diptera: Tephritidae) from Bihar, North India. Earlier report of B. penecorrecta was from Kerala, South India. In the present investigation, B. penecorrecta was recorded 22 years after its discovery in Kerala, South India in 2002 by R. A. I. Drew and S. Raghu. The record of brinjal as the first host of B. penecorrecta warrants in in-depth investigation of the level of infestation and sanitary and phytosanitary protocol development for the export as many recent invasions by different Bactrocera species in various part of the world beyond their native distributional records.
