| Abstract (English): |
In this study, we report for the first time a new larval host plant Cassia fistula L. for Galleria mellonella (Linnaeus, 1758) from Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Galleria mellonella is an established pest of beehives and till date, its larvae were known to feed only on the wax comb of Apis sp., and destroy it. For this reason, beekeeping enterprises face high economic losses. Our finding opens a scope for extensive surveys in areas surrounding apiaries in order to quantify infestations in C. fistula which might provide a new insight in the pest management practices for G. mellonella.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
En este estudio presentamos por primera vez una nueva planta alimenticia de las larvas de Galleria mellonella (Linnaeus, 1758), Cassia fistula L., de Calcuta, Bengala Occidental, India. Galleria mellonella es una plaga establecida de las colmenas y, hasta la fecha, se sabía que sus larvas sólo se alimentaban del panal de cera de Apis sp. y lo destruían. Por esta razón, las empresas apícolas se enfrentan a elevadas pérdidas económicas. Nuestro hallazgo abre la posibilidad de realizar estudios exhaustivos en las zonas circundantes a los colmenares para cuantificar las infestaciones de C. fistula, lo que podría aportar una nueva perspectiva sobre las prácticas de control de plagas de G. mellonella.
