Abstract

ABSTRACT: A colony of moths recently studied and published for control of Schinus terebinthifolia is found not to be Oxydia vesulia (Cramer) but instead a possibly undescribed species. Three species were originally collected. The unknown species is diagnosed by morphology and COI and compared to congeners.
