A small oval shining black flea beetle (Epitrix cucumeris) that injures the leaves of various plants.

CONT

The potato flea beetle is primarily a pest of potato but it also attacks cucumber, eggplant, pepper, tomato and such other plants as jimsonweed, tobacco, large white petunia, groundcherry and bittersweet ... Feeding injury, whether by adults on potato leaves in spring or late summer, or by larvae on tubers and roots and transmission of plant pathogens, are all potential ways in which this flea beetle may reduce potato yields both in terms of quality and quantity. Adult feeding on leaves results in rounded feeding scars, 0.1 to 5 mm in diameter, which usually penetrate through the leaf to form a hole.

L’altise de la pomme de terre attaque surtout la pomme de terre, mais aussi le concombre, l’aubergine, le poivron, la tomate et d’autres plantes comme la stramoine, le tabac, le grand pétunia blanc, la cerise de terre et le doux-amer [...] Les dégâts causés par l’altise en s’alimentant réduisent la quantité et la qualité des tubercules lorsque les insectes adultes se nourrissent des feuilles de pommes de terre au printemps et à la fin de l’été ou lorsque les larves se nourrissent sur les tubercules ou sur les racines; l’altise peut également transmettre des agents pathogènes aux plants. Les feuilles attaquées sont percées de petits trous de 0,1 à 5 mm de diamètre, et elles ont bientôt l’apparence de feuilles criblées de trous lorsque la population d’altises est élevée.

OBS

L'altise adulte est petite, car elle mesure 1, 7 mm de long et 1 mm de large. Elle est noire, mais ses pattes et ses antennes sont brunes.

There are 11 antennal segments. The 5th antennal segment is longer than the 4th or 6th in the female beetle and longer and broader than the 4th or 6th in the male beetle Burgess, 1977). There are no stripes on the elytra.

CONT

Cabbage Flea Beetle. Phyllotreta albionica (Lec.). This beetle, which is found in most parts of Canada, attacks cabbage and many other plants of the Cruciferae family .... The cabbage flea beetle overwinters in the adult stage, usually in the soil in the fields, or in leaf litter or turf under hedges, trees and fence rows. There is one generation annually, with mating and egg laying occurring in the spring and the adults usually dying in late June or early July. The newly hatched larvae live in the soil and feed on the roots of host plants, where they also pupate.
