Hatile, S.L., Mayonde, S., Venter, N., & Byrne, M.J. 2021 The host specificity of Trabutina mannipara (Hemprich & Ehrenberg, 1829) (Homoptera: Coccoidea: Pseudococcoidae): a potential biocontrol agent of invasive Tamarix chinensis (Lour) and T. ramosissima (Ledeb) in South Africa..

Notes: iological control of invasive Tamarix taxa in South Africa is complicated by the indigenous T. usneoides, which is phylogenetically distant from the invasive T. chinensis and T. ramosissima. This suggests the possibility of finding a host specific biological control agent.
