The Currant Clearwing moth Synanthedon tipuliformis (Clerck, 1759) as a new pest for pawpaw (Asimina triloba L.) in Slovakia - short communication

Abstract

At the locality Čebovce we found damage on Asimina triloba cv. Prima and Corylus avellana, which is not a typical host plant. 20% of branches on the host plant Asimina triloba cv. Prima were damaged by the Currant Clearwing moth larvae. The leaves on the infested branches started to wilt in mid-August.
