  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Black spotted, Yellow Borer, Conogethes punctiferalis Guenée and Allied Species

Abstract

The yellow peach moth, Conogethes punctiferalis (Guenée), is a major insect pest feeding on various crops and fruit trees in China. In the present chapter, research progress in several aspects of Conogethes moths is reviewed, including distribution and host range, morphology, damage, host-plant interactions, artificial diet, diapause, Wolbachia infection, genetic diversity, gene flow, molecular taxonomy, and management in China. This chapter provides insights into studies on C. punctiferalis, particularly in China.
