Anyone out there familiar with Atteva punctella (Lepidoptera:
Yponomeutidae)? In particular I'm wondering whether this North and Central
American species has been introduced to South Africa. I think that its
food plant (Ailanthus altissima) has been introduced as an ornamental in
southern Africa and I'm wondering if this moth has come along.
Any South African entomologists out there who might be able to answer this
question?
Many thanks,
Christopher Majka
