Deskripsi
Hovenia dulcis Thunb. (Rhamnaceae), popularly known as Japanese raisin tree, is commonly used in shading aviaries and pigsties in south Brazil. In this note, we report for the first time the occurrence of Sphacelodes vulneraria (Hübner, 1823) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Ennominae) damaging H. dulcis crops in Brazil and its potential as a new pest of this forest species.
