Creators

Description

Leucoptera malifoliella (Costa, 1836)

Synonyms: malifoliella (Costa, 1836); scitella Zeller, 1839.

Host plants

Chaenomeles, Crataegus, Cydonia, Malus, Mespilus, Prunus, Pyrus, Sorbus, Cotoneaster, Cerasus, Alnus, Amelanchier, Cotoneaster, Betula, and Corylus? (Heinemann 1877, Hering 1957, Balachowsky 1966, Seksyaeva 1981, Ecevit et. al. 1987, Parenti, 2000).

Distribution

Russia: European part (except northernmost regions), Siberia (Irkutsk, Yakutia), Ukraine, Transcaucasia, Kazakhstan, Middle Asia, Europe (except northern part), Asia Minor, Middle East, Iran, North Africa, and China (Baryshnikova 1996).

Distribution in Turkey (Fig. 2): Bursa (Mann 1862), Ordu (Ünye), Giresun (Bulancak) (Ecevit et al. 1987).

Remarks

Ecevit et al. (1987) report this species as an important pest of hazelnut in Samsun, Ordu, Giresun, and Trabzon. However, because there are no other literature records of this species feeding on hazelnut, the information provided by Ecevit et al. (1987) is suspect.
