Morphological and molecular identification of mealybugs on mangosteen fruits in registered packaging houses on the Bali Island
Main Article Content
Abstract
Based on morphological identification, the species of mealybug on mangosteen fruit in registered packing house in Bali was Dysmicoccus neobrevipes. Living insect characteristic of female, D. neobrevipes imago were oval or rotund body; gray or grayish orange in color; yellowish brown legs. The body was covered by white wax with 17 pairs of striking lateral wax filaments. These morphological characters were clearly seen by mounting the female imago. Molecular identification by using mtCOI gene that amplified at 649 bp had confirmed similar result, namely D. neobrevipes. Based on the level of mtCOI sequence homology, D. neobrevipes that found in Bali shared a high similarity (99.8%) with D. neobrevipes from Shenzen, Haikou and Guandong Province of China. Threfore, the D. neobrevipes is common mealybug was found in Indonesia.
