摘要： Simple Summary: The invasive pest Spodoptera frugiperda first emerged in China in 2019, and therefore the information on indigenous natural enemies of S. frugiperda has been limited in China. In this study, we reported that a dipteran species was observed to infest S. frugiperda collected from maize fields in four different regions of China. Further morphological and molecular recognition identified all the flies as Megaselia scalaris. The findings of this study will improve our understanding on natural enemies to S. frugiperda and potentially provide new ideas for integrated pest management strategies in China. The invasive pest Spodoptera frugiperda first emerged in China in January 2019 and has, to date, migrated to 29 provinces and municipalities in China, causing heavy crop damage in large areas. As a response to this invasive species from the environment, some indigenous natural enemies have been discovered and reported after S. frugiperda invasion. In this paper, parasitic flies were collected and identified from S. frugiperda collected in the Yunnan, Guangxi, and Henan provinces and the Chongqing municipality in China. By using both conventional and molecular approaches, we were able to show that all the parasitic flies of S. frugiperda identified in the four regions were Megaselia. scalaris, and that they attacked the pest larvae and pupae. This is the first report on an indigenous Chinese Megaselia species that has parasitic ability against the invasive pest S. frugiperda, potentially providing new ideas for pest control in China.
