Pareuchaetes insulata (weed bioagent) Walker, 1855

This moth is found in northern parts of South America, Central America and southern parts of North America, including Florida. It has been introduced into South Africa from Florida against the Siam weed Chromolaena odorata between 2001 and 2009. The moth became established in the release areas and provided control of the weed.
