Abstract: -Ormiscodes amphimone (Fabricius) is a phytophagous moth species known to severely defoliate woody species in Chile and Argentina. Here we document new records of O. amphimonehost associations emphasizing the role of Nothofagus pumilio as its primary host in our study area. This new record for Argentina is highly signifi cant given the economic importance of N. pumilio as a timber resource and the potential of O. amphimone to generate extensive outbreaks.

“…Larvae of O. amphimone go through five instars before pupating in the forest floor litter. Although O. amphimone is polyphagous and feeds upon a variety of native and introduced plant species, it has more frequently been observed feeding in N. pumilio than in other species (Paritsis et al., ). Outbreaks of O. amphimone can cause complete tree defoliation over vast areas (hundreds of hectares) of N. pumilio forests when episodes are severe (Paritsis et al., ; Piper et al., ; Chávez et al., ).…”

Although O. amphimone has been reported to feed on over 20 species of native and exotic plants (see Paritsis et al 2010 for a species list), it feeds preferentially on the broadleaved canopy tree N. pumilio (Baldini & Alvarado 2008), which is one of the most important native timber species in Patagonia (Martínez-Pastur et al 2010).…”
