The rednecked peanutworm, Stegasta bosqueella (Chambers), is the main lepidopteran pest in South and Central American peanut fields. The species name was misspelled earlier in the literature and the incorrect name is still more cited. In this review, we revisit the history of S. bosqueella classification. Although the rednecked peanutworm is an important defoliator in some peanut producing countries, there is scarce information on some aspects of the biology as well as plant response to this insect species. Economic threshold levels are not yet well established and, consequently, decision making is compromised. Chemical control is the main tool used to control larval infestations. Moreover, some studies on host plant resistance, biological control, and attract-and-kill strategy were conducted to control the rednecked peanutworm. These tactics were promising and could be useful to enhance a peanut integrated pest management program. We present here a review of S. bosqueella life history, biology, ecology, and management options as well as needs for enhancing the current control strategies.

缩颈花生虫的生物学，生态学和管理（鳞翅目：:科）

红颈花生蠕虫Stegasta bosqueella（Chambers）是南美和中美洲花生田的主要鳞翅目害虫。物种名称在文献中较早时拼写错误，并且错误引用的名称仍然更多。在本文中，我们回顾了博克氏杆菌的历史。分类。尽管在一些花生生产国，缩颈花生虫是重要的落叶植物，但在生物学某些方面以及植物对这种昆虫的反应方面信息很少。经济阈值水平尚未很好地建立，因此决策受到损害。化学控制是控制幼虫侵袭的主要工具。此外，对寄主植物的抗性，生物控制以及吸引和杀灭策略进行了一些研究，以控制赤颈花生虫。这些策略是有希望的，并且可能有助于增强花生综合害虫管理计划。在这里，我们对博克氏杆菌的生活史，生物学，生态学和管理方法以及增强当前控制策略的需求进行了回顾。
