| Summary: | In this study, a first record on interaction of insect with fern species has been presented from Malaysia. Molecular identification
of cytochrome oxidase I gene (COI) has revealed the Herpetogramma platycapna (Meyrick) is the gregarious pest of
Angiopteris evecta (G. Forst.) Hoffm. The pest species also has been reconfirmed based on morphological characters. |
