摘要: The butterfly Talicada nyseus G. (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) is abundant in India and Sri Lanka (Karunaratne, et al., 2002). In India, this chiefly found the peninsular area, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Punjab foothills of Himalayas (Singh, 2005). host plants include Kalanchoe spp. (Saxifragales: Crassulaceae). Adult feed on nectar surrounding flowering but are also reported to lichens (Karunaratne, et 2002). Recently it has been discovered that infected with maternally inherited Wolbachia bacteria (Ankola, 2011; Salunke, 2012) exhibits a female biased sex ratio 2011). It suspected that the presence caused by its endosybiont Wolbachia. As an endosymbiont, known cause hosts inducing two distinct reproductive anomalies: feminization genetic males (Hiroki 2004) male killing (Jigginset 2001; Charlat essential record scientific data regarding the life history traits naturally Wolbachia. present report which harbor Wolbachia infection were studied under controlled conditions.
