摘要: Abstract The host range of Leurocephala schinusae Davis & Mc Kay (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) was studied to assess its suitability as a biological control agent Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (Anacardiaceae), serious environmental weed in the USA and elsewhere world. determined laboratory with adult no-choice oviposition (Argentina USA) larval development tests (USA). Seventeen plant species ten genera were selected based on taxonomic relatedness S. terebinthifolius, economic importance, availability. Additional information obtained by sampling foliage six other South American native Anacardiaceae north-eastern Argentina. In laboratory, except for Lithrea molleoides Spondias mombin, all tested accepted marked preference Rhus aromatica. Incipient mines successfully developed into complete mines, pupae adults R. aromatica, copallinum, ...
