Abstract
The golden buprestid beetle Anathaxia angustipennis Klug , infests many twit and wood trees namely : mango, peach, pear, apricot, fig, apple, citrus, acacia, willow and casuarina . The life cycle of this pest on mango cuttings revealed that the recorded incubation period was 618 days. The immature larva lasted 230-305 days to reach the full-grown larva which elapsed 22-48 days to enter prepupa that passes to pupa after 7-49 days. The pupal duration lasted 4-22 days. The beetle stayed 4-15 days inside pupal chamber, the male beetle lived 4-19 days after emergence, while the female survived 5-26 days. The preoviposition, oviposition and post-oviposition periods were 2-5, 4-14 and 3-6 days, respectively. The female laid 6-21 eggs . Total life cycle indicated that Anathaxia angustipennis beetle had one generation yearly, ranged 352-393 days with an average of 367.8±13.3 days. Relative susceptibility of eight mango varieties namely: Timour, Company, Ewase, Mabrouka, Balady, Mesk, Mindy and Zebdia to the infestation with some borers showed that type of variety play a role in susceptibility rate. The different mango varieties were descendingly arranged according to their susceptibility to borers infestation as follows: Ewase > Mabrouka > Mindy > Balady > Zebdia > Mesk > Company > Timour. On the other hand, total relative infestation of different borers demonstrated that the borers were descendigly arranged according to their infestation of different mango varieties as follows: Enneadesmus obtusedentatus > Hypothenemus eruditus > Sinoxylon sudanicum > Chrysobothris dorsata > Belionota scutellaris > Phone-pate Iron tails > Chlorophorus varius > Xyleborus similis.
