THE OCCURRENCE AND HARMFULNESS OF PHYLLONORYCTER ROBINIELLA (CLEM.), A NEW LEAFMINER OF ROBINIA PSEUDOACACIA L. TREES

Elżbieta Wojciechowicz-Żytko, Beata Jankowska

 

ABSTRACT



The North American species – Phyllonorycter robiniella (Clem.) – which mines the leaves of Robinia pseudoacacia L. was reported from Europe in 1993 for the first time. It was discovered in Poland in 1999. Caterpillars feeding cause premature leaf fall due to its desiccation, which negatively influence the aesthetic appearance of the trees.

Key words: Robinia pseudoacacia, Phyllonorycter robiniella.
