Özet: Duponchelia fovealis Zeller was determined for the first time in the peanut areas although it is a harmful insect generally in greenhouses and on the ornamental plants. Larvae of this injurious insect feed in the pods going inside and consume nearly all pod. It was determined that 32.4 % of the peanut fields in which survey was carried out was infested with the alive larvae of the insect. While the number of larvae was determined to be 11 at most, the damaging rates of the pods were 0.71% at least and 3.48% at most. It was seen that D. fovealis began to settle in the peanut areas and this case could cause big problems.
