摘要: Abstract Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (Anacardiaceae), native to South America, has invaded different habitats throughout south and central Florida. In recent surveys of natural enemies conducted in Salvador, Brazil (native range), a new species the genus Paectes (Lepidoptera: Euteliidae) was found feeding on foliage peppertree. The objectives this study were describe adult, larva pupa examine life history parameters species, longiformis Pogue, potential biocontrol agent Survival development immature stages examined at six constant temperatures (ranging from 16 34°C). All P. exposed 0°C for 0.5, 1, 2, 4 8 d, lethal times calculated (Ltime50, Ltime90). laid eggs singly plant completed five instars including non-feeding pre-pupal stage that moved soil where it spun cocoon.
