| Abstract: | Fifty-four insect and four mite species are included in a list of the entomofauna of plane trees in Israel. Only two species are monophagous:Phyllonorycter platani (Stgr.) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) andEdwardsiana iranicola Zachv. (Heteroptera: Cicadellidae). Four species are noxious:P. platani, the main insect pest of the plane trees in Israel;Zeuzera pyrina L. (Lepidoptera: Cossidae);Kalotermes flavicollis F. (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae); andE. iranicola. Of much lesser importance areTargionia vitis Sign. (Homoptera: Diaspididae),Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis Bché. andRetithrips syriacus May. (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). About half of the listed species are natural enemies and many are parasites ofP. platani. Details are given on the noxious species, together with recommendations for prevention and control. |
