Light Brown Apple Moth National Survey Guidelines, 2010. Epiphyas postvittana (Walk.) Tortricidae

摘要

The first find of light brown apple moth (LBAM), Epiphyas postvittana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), on the U.S. mainland occurred in California. On February 6, 2007, a private citizen near Berkeley in Alameda County, California, reported that two suspect moths had been captured in a blacklight trap on his property. In response, pheromone-baited traps were placed on March 1, 2007, in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. On March 16, 2007, the ARS Systematic Entomology Laboratory (SEL) in Washington, DC, confirmed through morphological testing that the two samples submitted were LBAM.
