bulb mite
|
No (Wang and Lin 1997, BAPHIQ 2011b, BAPHIQ 2012)6
|
Unresolved presence (ABRS 2009)7
|
Yes: Bulb mites attack roots and subterranean plant parts, they tunnel the stems at the ground level, causing them to lean or break (Diaz et al. 2000). They are occasionally collected on leaves and stems of infested Liliaceae (Latta 1939, Diaz et al. 2000).
|
Yes: Host plants are present in Australia. Should infested flowers be occasionally selected, cut flower refuse is likely to end up in municipal waste where it is buried, or in household compost, where it could be spread locally in infested plant debris.
|
No: Economic consequences for the introduction of this pest from cut flowers are minor. The most likely pathway for introduction of live mites that will induce economic loss is through importation of bulbs for planting or nursery stock of the many host species including onions, carrots and garlic, and ornamental bulbs including lilies, gladiolus and hyacinths (Diaz et al. 2000).

|
No (ABRS 2009)
|
Yes: H. axyridis is known as a predator of aphids and other soft-bodied insects as well as pollen and nectar (Koch 2003), and can be imported and moved over long distances on cut flowers as well as other traded commodities including fruit (Koch 2003).
|
Yes: This species has demonstrated its ability to spread rapidly in Europe, Africa and the Americas (Brown et al. 2011, Nedvěd et al. 2011).
|
Yes: H. axyridis causes ‘ladybug taint’ in wines after processing if found on grapes (Brown et al. 2011), which may limit or restrict access of such goods into overseas markets and require additional measures to be undertaken. Can also infest buildings (Huelsman et al. 2010).

Lilioceris formosana Heinze
[Chrysomelidae]
(synonym Lilioceris neptis subsp. formosana Heinze, Lilioceris impressa subsp. loochooana Nakane, formosana = bona species: Kimoto et Takizawa, loochooana = formosana: Kimoto et Takizawa)
leaf beetle
|
Yes (Wang and Lin 1997, Warchalowski 2011)
|
No (AICN 2004, ABRS 2009)
|
Yes: This species is native to Taiwan. Lilioceris spp. beetles feed on lilies and other hosts (Kroon 2009). Both adult and larval stages cause foliar damage to host plants (Salisbury 2008). It is likely to be on the pathway and transported internationally.
|
Yes: Some Lilioceris spp. have established in many countries where accidentally introduced, indicating potential as an invasive species (Kenis et al. 2003). Lilium bulbs are popular in backyards, and grown by local industry. The Australian climate is likely to be conducive for the spread of this pest.
|
Yes: Adults and larvae of Lilioceris spp. cause economic damage by attacking foliage and flowers of many cultivated and native Lilium plant species and other hosts (Salisbury 2008, Casagrande and Kenis 2004). Lilioceris formosana are herbivores but their host plant association is not fully elucidated.

Yes: Associated with Lilium spp. (Wang and Lin 1997). Larvae eat Lilium spp. leaves (Maddison 1993).
|
Yes: This species has a limited distribution internationally though it has established in areas with a wide range of climatic conditions. Hosts of this species including Smilax spp. are widespread in Australia (APNI 2012).
|
Yes: This species could cause economic damage by attacking foliage and flowers of many cultivated and native plant species, including Smilax spp. and Lilium spp. (APNI 2012).
