It was learned from the Jiangsu Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau that when the inspection and quarantine personnel carried out quarantine inspection on an inbound ship on the shore of Lianyun Port, they intercepted a pest of the family Nocturnidae, which was identified and reviewed by the Plant Inspection Laboratory of the Jiangsu Inspection and Quarantine Bureau as a short-banded triangular moth Trigonodeshyppasia, and then confirmed by experts from the Chinese Academy of Inspection and Quarantine, which was the first interception at a domestic port.
The short-banded noctuidae is a genus of Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Noctuidae, noctuidae, including Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Japan, Singapore, The Philippines, Malaysia, China, etc.), the South Pacific Islands (Samoa, Fiji, etc.), northern Australia (Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales) and almost all African countries, in the south of China Hubei, Jiangxi, Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong and other provinces and regions also have distribution records. Its larvae can feed on a variety of plants, such as Goldenrod, Wood Blue, Cornflower, Alfalfa, Phaseolus vulgaris, Shaozi and so on.
According to the inspection and quarantine staff, Lepidoptera pests, especially some species with phototropism habits, are very easy to "take" international navigation ships for long-distance spread, and once they are introduced to China, they will bring serious harm to agricultural and forestry production and ecological environment.
