Argentina

Buenos Aires
) by
Kuzmanich

Host plants
.
S. fasciculata
(Grieseb.) Johnston
,
Schinus johnstonii
F.A. Barkley
,
S. latifolia
(Gillies) Engler
,
S. montana
(Philippi) Engler
,
S. patagonica
(Phil.) I.M.Johnst. ex Cabrera
,
S. polygama
(Cav.) Cabrera
,
S. velutinus
(Turcz.) I.M. Johnst. (Anacardiaceae)
. Forming irregular leaf roll galls or crumpling of young leaves. The reexamination of the plant voucher specimens showed that the record of
Schinus fasciculata
(Grieseb.) Johnston
by
Burckhardt & Basset (2000)
concerns
S. johnstonii
(C. L. da Silva, in litt.).
Kuzmanich
et al
. (2015)
reported galls on the leaves of
S. longifolia
(Lindl.) Speg.
from
Argentina
(
Buenos Aires
) which they attributed to
T. sordida
. This record is doubtful and may concern another, related species.
Comments
.
Flores
et al
. (1989)
observed two generations per year in a population
on
S. polygama
in
Central
Chile
. The emergence of adults coincided with the growth of new twigs.
