“…Habitat and host data. Adults and larvae are oligophagous, and in the Palearctic they attack solanaceous hosts, mostly Solanum dulcamara L. and Hyoscyamus niger L., and occasionally Atropa belladonna L.; adults recently were observed also on potato in Portugal (Highet and Pearson 2015). Other solanaceous plants in the genera Nicotiana, Lycopersicon, Lycium, and Datura also are listed as hosts in the Palearctic (Bienkowski and Orlova-Bienkowskaja 2016).…”

Structure and convention. This review is based largely on the published literature and on information associated with identified specimens mainly in Canadian collections. The arrangement of the species and classification follows that used by Bousquet et al. (2013). We use the term 'adventive species' for those that arrived in Canada from other countries either through natural dispersal or through inadvertent or deliberate human action during the period since initial arrival of European colonists (Wheeler and Hoebeke 2009, 2017). We do not include coverage of native Canadian species transported to new provinces and territories within Canada. We also do not include arrival of native United States species into Canada. Images. Images were taken using an image processing system (Nikon SMZ-U stereo-microscope with a ProgRes 3012 digital camera or Nikon SMZ1500 stereoscopic microscope fitted with a Nikon Digit-like camera DXM1200F) and compiled using Adobe Photoshop software. Distribution. Each species is cited with its currently known distribution in Canada and the USA. Data for distribution maps were extracted from specimens in collections, from literature records and, in a few cases, from authoritatively identified images from the BugGuide website (www.bugguide.net). Geographic coordinates were standardized using NAD83 datum, and maps projected onto a Lambert Conic Conformal using ESRI ArcMap version 10 for Windows.

“…Epitrix pubescens may feed on foliage of potato and cause shot-like holes (1.0-1.5 mm diameter) similar to those created by the regulated Epitrix spp. (Highet and Pearson, 2015). Other insect species can feed on foliage and cause holes in potato leaves as well.…”

This pest survey card was prepared in the context of the mandate on plant pest surveillance (EFSA-Q-2017-00831), upon request by the European Commission. The purpose of this document is to assist the Member States in planning annual survey activities of quarantine organisms using a statistically sound and risk-based pest survey approach, in line with the current international standards. The data requirements for such activity include the pest distribution, its host range, its biology, risk factors as well as available detection and identification methods. This document is part of a toolkit that consists of pest-specific documents, such as the pest survey cards and generic documents relevant for all pests to be surveyed, including, the general survey guidelines and statistical software such as RiBESS+.

“…Shot‐holing on leaves can also be observed, but this symptom can be caused by other pests or other Epitrix species that do not cause tuber damage (e.g. Epitrix pubescens that is present in the EPPO region; Highet & Pearson, ). Sweep nets should be used to catch adult flea beetles, which then need to be collected to confirm the species responsible.…”

PM 9/22 (1) National regulatory control system for Epitrix species damaging potato tubers

2016

EPPO Bulletin

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Specific scope This Standard describes a national regulatory control system for species of Epitrix that are known to cause damage to both the haulm and tubers of potato. It provides guidance on preventing their introduction, surveillance and their eradication if found infesting potato. The decision on the most appropriate eradication measures that should be taken in any given outbreak situation will depend on the particular circumstances of the outbreak. However, to illustrate the range of potential measures that can be taken, several outbreak scenarios are outlined in this Standard. In some outbreak situations it may prove difficult to eradicate the pest, so a strategy for containment is also included. Specific approval First approved in 2016–09.
