Abstract

Specimens of Spodoptera larvae collected on March 19, 2019 from a corn field in Lampung Province were brought to the laboratory of the Department of Plant Protection, University of Lampung, for identification. It was suspected that the larvae was Spodoptera frugiperda which has been currently found in India, Thailand, Bangladesh, China, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. Morphological identification was conducted in two steps: (1) pictorial/color identification and (2) detailed morphological identification by examining and comparing various the organs of the larvae were with standard morphological characteristics of Spodoptera species. DNA sequencing and identification were performed to further confirm the accuracy of the identification. Before the identification process, brief field observations were conducted to estimate plant damage percentage and to characterize the nature damage. Field observation indicated that Spodoptera larvae causes damage to corn plants by consuming foliage and making holes in leaves damaging approximately 72% of corn plants. Based on the morphological characteristics, it is concluded that the larvae belong to the species of Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). This conclusion was then confirmed with the results of molecular (DNA) identification. The sequence of DNA was in proximity to the sequence of DNA of Spodoptera frugiperda. Phylogeny trees analysis showed that the DNA sequences were in the same group with S. frugiperda isolates of Honnali (MH753325.1), Hanchipura (MH753332.1), Belagavi (MH 753329.1), KEPH A (MH190444.1) and EPHE.1 (MH190445.1). Based on these finding, therefore, it is confirmed that the specimens belong to the species of Spodoptera frugiperda.
