Tachinid flies (Diptera: Tachinidae) associated with crop pests in northern Cameroon, with the description of a new species of Carcelia Robineau-Desvoidy
Agroecological research was carried out in northern Cameroon from 2008 to 2014 to develop a strategy aiming to encourage the action of natural enemies against lepidopteran pests in cotton crops and in surrounding landscapes. Tachinidae is one of the most diverse families of Diptera in the Afrotropics and represents an important group of endoparasitoids, although their role as biocontrol agents in crops is still poorly understood in Africa.
