苹浅褐卷蛾Epiphyas postvittana原产澳大利亚,是澳大利亚西南部、新西兰、英国及美国多种经济作物的重要害虫,目前尚未在全球范围广泛分布。由于其地理分布范围窄、寄主植物广泛、形态鉴定困难、能够对农作物造成较大的经济危害以及具有遗传多样性等特点,目前已被多数国家列为检疫对象并提出严格的检疫要求。而2007年该虫在美国加州地区的定殖使得研究人员对该虫能够造成的危害程度引起了再次的关注。在我国,该虫也被列为对外检疫对象,但是相关报道相对较少。作为检疫性害虫,对其相关信息的综合掌握是进一步进行有害生物风险分析的基础和保障。本文详细描述了苹浅褐卷蛾的地理分布、寄主范围、发生为害与环境条件的相互关系等,以期为该虫进行进一步风险分析及对其的检疫措施的制定和实施提供重要的信息与依据。
Epiphyas postvittana is a leafroller native to Australia that is currently a serious pest in south-western Australia,New Zealand,the United Kingdom and California,USA,but has a limited geographic distribution in the rest of the world.Because of its limited geographic distribution,wide host range,complicated morphological identification,ability to inflict serious damage to crops and genetic variations,this moth is considered an actionable quarantine pest in most LBAM-free countries,including China.Its recent establishment in California,USA refocused the attention of scientists as to how serious a pest this moth could be.As a quarantined pest in most LBAM-free countries,including China,an overall review of LBAM is essential to conducting a risk analysis.However,information on the moth is relatively rare in China.Here review in detail its geographic distribution,host plant species,port identification,life cycle,crop damage,environmental factors and genetic variation related to its life history traits.Further research on its potential risk to China is urgently recommended.
