| : | A survey of 1345 mango fruit from 231 trees in Dili detected a 9.5% prevalence of Deanolis sublimbalis Snellen (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and a 14.7% prevalence of Bactrocera spp. fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae). No other mango fruit borers were detected and it is very unlikely that they occur in Dili. The absence of Sternochetus frigidis F. and S. mangiferae (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) suggests a low probability of their presence in East Timor. |
