Abstract:
Odoiporus longicollis Oliver and Cosmopolites sordidus Germar are important pests for damaging bananas in China (Zhang, 1999). Polytus mellerborgi, a native of Indo-Malaya, has become widely spread by commerce and is now present over much of the tropical world where bananas are grown from southeastern Polynesia through Melanesia, Micronesia, Indo-Malaya, south China, Burma, India, Ceylon, islands of the Indian Ocean to Madagascar, etc. (Zimmerman, 1968).
