Abstract: As an important component of integrated pest management (IPM), biological control is an indispensable part of controlling Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith). During investigation of the resources of natural enemies of S. frugiperda, we found a tachinid fly emerging from the S. frugiperda larvae collected from the fields in Chongzuo, Guangxi. It was identified as Exorista japonica through morphological identification and DNA barcoding technique. The natural parasitism rate of E. japonica in the collected S. frugiperda larvae was 11.90%. This study provides an important reference for the protection and utilization of natural enemies of S. frugiperda.

Key words: biological control, Spodoptera frugiperda, Exorista japonica, DNA barcoding technique
