Record 1 2016-10-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Insects, Centipedes, Spiders, and Scorpions
  • Animal Pests (Crops)
  • Viticulture
Universal entry(ies)
DEF

An Australian moth (Phalaenoides glycine) having a greenish yellow black-marked caterpillar that feeds on grape leaves and fruits.

CONT

Grapevine moth is usually a minor pest, with little economic impact. However, if caterpillar numbers reach high levels, severe vine defoliation may result, which can affect berry development and carbohydrate storage. Caterpillars feed on leaves but may begin feeding in bunches if foliage is depleted.

OBS

According to the "Crop Protection Compendium" of the CAB International, "Phalaenoides glycinae"(Lewin 1805) is the preferred scientific name. "Phalaenoides glycine"(Tepper 1890) is another scientific name.
