Abstract

The immature stages, preferred oviposition sites, hatching patterns and egg morphology of two important rice pest species, Leptocorisa oratorius (Fabricius) and L. acuta (Thunberg) (Heteroptera: Alydidae) were described. Species specific differences were found in all these features. These differences may be useful for identification in fields where these pests occur together.

Résumé

Sont décrits, les stades jeunes, les lieux d'oviposition préférés et les formes d'éclosion des oeufs parmi deux espèces de fléau pour le riz — le Leptocorisa oratorius (Fabricius) et le Leptocorisa acuta (Thunberg) (Heteroptère: Alydidae). Ces insectes nuisibles sont importants dans les régions rizières du monde. Les particularités des deux espèces facilitent leurs identification au champs.
