dc.description.abstractApricot is an important good produced in Turkey in terms of its quantities of production and economic value. As it needs intensive labour in both cultivation and marketing, apricot production crates a large amount of employment opportunities. Unfortunately, apricot producers have faced a new serious pest damage in recent years. This pest causes significant apricot yield losses by feeding over apricot flowers. Therefore, identification of the pest is important to take immediate measures. This study was conducted at apricot orchards in the province of Malatya in 2015-2016. Field studies and surveys were carried out weekly from the beginning of February to the second week of April. During the surveys, adults and larvae were collected and prepared for molecular analyses and morphological identification. Contarinia pruniflorum Coutin & Rambier (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) was identified by molecular characterisation and morphological analyses by a specialist. This study is the first in terms of molecular characterisation of C. pruniflorum by using COI gene sequence. Identification of this pest provides an idea about which control method should be used and when such measures should be taken. In this study, we reconstructed the molecular phylogeny and analysed the genetic difference of C. pruniflorum by using mitochondrial COI sequences.
