Abstract

Specimens of Chrysodeixis chalcites (Esper) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) have been found in different municipalities in southwestern Ontario, Canada since 2008. This nonnative species occurs in tomato and green bean crops where it has the potential of becoming an important insect pest.

Résumé

Des spécimens de Chrysodeixis chalcites (Esper) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) ont été trouvés dans différentes municipalités du sud-ouest de l'Ontario, au Canada, depuis 2008. Cette espèce non-indigène se développe dans la tomate et les haricots verts où elle a le potentiel de devenir un insecte ravageur important.
