Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Host-specificity testing was completed for Actinote thalia pyrrha.
- Observation Host-specificity testing of Lixus aemulus was nearly complete and encouraging.
- Observation Host-specificity testing of Calycomyza sp. was nearly complete and encouraging.
- Observation The host range of A. thalia thalia was investigated.
- Method / resource Rearing techniques and biology were determined for Conotrachelus reticulatus.
- Method / resource Rearing techniques and biology were determined for Longitarsus horni.
- Observation Breeding Melanagromyza eupatoriella failed in several attempts.
- Recommendation Conotrachelus reticulatus was substituted for Melanagromyza eupatoriella because of a similar functional niche.
- Recommendation Polymorphomyia basilica may substitute for Cecidochares connexa, which seems incompatible with the South African C. odorata biotype.
- Observation Host-specificity tests found Leptocysta sexnebulosa unsuitable for release.
- Observation Breeding Adaina sp. nov. was difficult.
