Abstract

Host plants of the poplar leafminer Phyllonorycter populifoliella (Tr.) (Lepidoptera, Gracillariidae) were studied. This miner is a narrow oligophage developing on 12 species of the genus Populus L. of the family Salicaceae: P. alba, P. balsamifera, P. deltoides, P. koreana, P. laurifolia, P. maximowiczii, P. nigra, P. pseudosimonii, P. simonii, P. suaveolens, P. talassica, and P. tremula. Feeding on the leaves of plants of the genus Salix leads to death of the leafminer larvae. Resistance of poplars to the miner decreases in the series: Populus (P. alba, P. tremula) > Aigeiros (P. nigra, P. deltoides) > Tacamahaca (P. balsamifera, P. koreana, P. laurifolia, P. maximowiczii, P. suaveolens). The ecological consequences of chronic defoliation of poplars by the miner are shown.
