Three new records of defoliators (lepidoptera: Noctuidae, pyralidae & sphingidae) on some ornamental plants in Laguna, Philippines

Abstract

Three lepidopterous insects are reported for the first time as new defoliators of ornamental plants in Laguna, Philippines. These are the lily cutworm Spodoptera picta (Guérin-Méneville) (Noctuidae) infesting Crinum lilies, the hibiscus leafroller Haritalodes derogata (Fabricius) (Pyralidae) infesting hibiscus and related species, and the oleander hornworm Daphnis nerii (Linnaeus) (Sphingidae) infesting nerium, chichirica and related species. S. picta is also a new faunal record for the Philippines.
