|
Yes (Wang and Lin 1997, TaiBNET 2012)
|
No (ABRS 2009, Ben-Dov et al. 2012)
|
Yes: recorded as pest of Lilium spp. (Maddison 1993, Wang and Lin 1997). Occurs on the aerial parts of the host plant (Ben-Dov et al. 2012).
|
Yes: The Australian climate is likely to be conducive for the spread of this pest. It is polyphagous and has a wide host range including commercial fruit trees, ornamental shrubs and creepers, amenity trees and natives (CABI 2012).
|
Yes: This is an economically significant pest of many crops (Ben-Dov et al. 2012). The introduction of these pests in commercial production areas may limit access to overseas markets.

|
Yes (Wang and Lin 1997, EPPO 2007, TaiBNET 2012)
|
No (ABRS 2009, CABI 2012)
|
Yes: A. segetum is a highly polyphagous pest that attacks a wide range of important crop plants and ornamentals including bulbaceous species (CABI 2012).
|
Yes: Association with the cut flower host provides opportunity for establishment and spread as this pest is polyphagous. It is established in areas with a wide range of climatic conditions (CABI 2012), and therefore, has the potential to establish and spread in Australia.
|
Yes: Cutworms cause economic loss to many crops as they affects leaves, stems and roots of hosts (CABI 2012) including cotton, maize, potato, oilseeds, vegetable and root crops (CABI 2012).

tussock moth
|
Yes (Lee 1988, Wang and Lin 1997, Liu 1998)
|
No (Nielsen et al. 1996)
|
Yes: This species feeds on the leaves of many flowers, including lilies (Liu 1998, Kuo 2005).
|
Yes: This species feeds on the leaves of gladiolus and lily plants (Liu 1998), the leaves of soybean (Talekar et al. 1988), grapevine (Chang 1988) and of rose in Taiwan (Biosecurity Australia 2006). The Australian climate is likely to be conducive for the spread of this pest.
|
Yes: This moth feeds on several hosts and can affect commercial crops through feeding on leaves, including flowers, fruit trees, vegetables and cereals. Larval hairs cause allergic reactions (Kuo 2005).

|
Yes (Khramov et al. 2011, TaiBNET 2012)
|
No (Khramov et al. 2011)
|
Yes: Its distinctive larvae feed on hosts of the order Liliales including Smilax, Tricyrtis, Streptopus and Lilium spp. plants (Robinson et al. 2012).
|
Yes: Association with the host provides opportunity for establishment and spread of this species where cut flowers are sold and hosts are grown throughout Australia. Spreads in regions with similar climatic range as Australia.
|
Yes: The species is considered a minor pest of Lilium spp. However, Smilax spp. are widely spread in Australia (APNI 2012), and consequently its establishment and spread has potential for economic consequences in parts of Australia.

[Lymantidae]
tussock moth
|
Yes (Lee 1988, Liu 1998, TaiBNET 2012)
|
No (CABI 2012)
|
Yes: This species has been recorded on Lilium species, larvae feed on leaves and flower buds (CoA undated - a). A pest of flowers in Taiwan (Liu 1998).
|
Yes: This species currently occurs from Japan to southern China (Nasu et al. 2004, Zhu and Zhang 2004). It established in areas with a wide range of climatic conditions and therefore has the potential to establish and spread in Australia.
|
Yes: This species is polyphagous (CABI 2012). It has been recorded as a pest of Eucalyptus plantations in Japan (Nasu et al. 2004). It is also considered to be one of the ten most important moths attacking tropical fruits in Southern China (Zhu and Zhang 2004). Hosts include durian, eucalypts, longan, lychee, mango, mangosteen, poplar, rambutan, roses, table grapes (CABI 2012), and soybean, cocoa, red beans and pear (Biosecurity Australia 2006).

Xylena formosa (Butler)
[Noctuidae]
(synonym Xylena plumbeopaca Hreblay & Ronkay)
cutworm
|
Yes (Wang and Lin 1997, TaiBNET 2012)
|
No (Nielsen et al. 1996, ABRS 2009)
|
Yes: Recorded on lilies (Maddison 1993). This species is a generalist floral herbivore common in Japan, China, and Taiwan (Oguro and Sakai 2009).
|
Yes: The limited distribution of this species internationally suggests that it is not invasive; however, current reported distribution suggests that there are similar environments in parts of Australia that would be suitable for its establishment and spread.
|
Yes: This species is considered a minor pest of Lilium spp, though it has been recorded as feeding on sap of Citrus spp. and other fruit trees (Biosecurity Australia 2009). Therefore, this species has potential for economic consequences in parts of Australia and would impact upon overseas markets.
|
Yes

ORTHOPTERA (grasshoppers, crickets, locusts)
|
Oxya intricata (Stal)
[Acrididae]
[synonym Oxya hyla intricata (Stal)]
small rice grasshopper
|
Yes (BAPHIQ 2009)
|
No (ABRS 2009)
|
Yes: Recorded on Lilium spp. (BAPHIQ 2009, CoA undated - b). Generally, this is a rice pest that consumes foliage of grassy species (Heinrichs and Barrion 2004). On Lilium spp., it is likely a contaminant pest from nearby rice fields or previous crop rotations.
|
No: Adults are the most likely stage associated with minor hosts such as Lilium spp. Oxya lay their eggs behind rice leaves and stems, and when dry in the soil (Heinrichs and Barrion 2004). Its limited distribution internationally suggests that it is not an invasive species.
|
Yes: The species is not considered a major pest of Lilium spp. Adults and nymph damage and their feeding are easy to spot (Heinrichs and Barrion 2004). However, it is a pest of rice and consequently its establishment and spread has potential for economic consequences in parts of Australia.

|
Yes (Tang 1976, Wang and Lin 1997, BAPHIQ 2009)
|
No (Mound 2005, ABRS 2009)5
|
Yes: Thrips are sap-sucking insects that feed on foliage or flowers (Lewis 1997). Frankliniella intonsa is associated with the leaves and flowers of Lilium (Maddison 1993, BAPHIQ 2009).
|
Yes: This species is polyphagous and its current reported distribution suggests that there are similar environments in parts of Australia that would be suitable for its establishment and spread.
|
Yes: Flower thrips cause distortion of fruit and reductions in quality (Buxton and Easterbrook 1988); discolouration resulting in sales losses on ornamental and cut flower varieties (Sauer 1997). Flower thrips will affect cut flower trade as phytosanitary restrictions can apply.
|

Chinese thrips
|
Yes (Liu 1998, TaiBNET 2012)
|
No (ABRS 2009)
|
Yes: This species has been recorded as a pest of rose, hibiscus, gladiolus and lily in Taiwan (Liu 1998, Kakimoto et al. 2006).
|
Yes: This species occurs on flowers but is also a predatory thrips (Kakimoto et al. 2006). It is recorded on several flower species in Japan (Kudo 1977), citrus (Biosecurity Australia 2009) and other fruit crops (GAAS 2012), and on vegetable crops in Korea and Taiwan (Woo 1988, Chang 1991).
|
Yes: This pest is listed as an invasive species by the USDA (Invasive.org 2010). It has a wide host range and can cause damage to several fruit and vegetable crops. Flower thrips will also affect cut flower trade and other commodities as phytosanitary restrictions can apply.

No (Maddison 1993, ABRS 2009)
|
Yes: Thrips are sap-sucking insects that feed on foliage or flowers (Lewis 1997). Found in Lilium spp. flowers in Asia and Pacific Islands (Maddison 1993).
|
Yes: The host range for this species includes legumes, groundnut and ornamentals (Reitz et al. 2011). It is likely to find environments in parts of Australia that would be suitable for its establishment and spread.
|
Yes: Flower thrips cause discolouration resulting in sales losses on ornamental and cut flower varieties (Sauer 1997). Damages buds of flowers of many leguminous plants (Ananthakrishnan 1993). Flower thrips will affect cut flower trade as phytosanitary restrictions can apply.
