Campiglossa sororcula ( Wiedemann, 1830) View in CoL ( Tephritinae : Tephritini )

Distribution. Previously reported from Bangladesh (Rajshahi) by Bezzi (1913; as Oxyna sororcula Wiedemann ), but not collected in our surveys. A very widespread species occurring from southern Europe, across southern Asia to Japan, south to South Africa, Australia and the Pacific Islands ( Wang 1998; Norrbom et al. 1999; David and Ramani 2011).

Larval hosts. A range of Asteraceae has been reported as actual or possible host plants, although the majority of confirmed hosts are Coreopsideae , including five species of Bidens , which are sometimes weeds, two species of Coreopsis , and single species of Cosmos and Dahlia ( Zaka-ur-Rab 1984; Kapoor 1993; Hardy and Drew 1996). The larvae feed in the flower heads, at least sometimes within the seeds.
