Deskripsi

At the end of December 2009, an important defoliation of Acacia horrida was observed in the southern part of Tunisia, at Jebel Brourmet, Tataouine. Mature larvae, pupae and egg masses of Casama innotata were observed on defoliated A. horrida trees. In this paper, we presented a first report of this species in Tunisia.
