摘要
Ceuthorhynchidius horridus (Panzer), an imported European weevil which feeds on thistle rosettes, first released in the U.S. in 1974, has become established in 3 counties of Virginia. Releases at 10 selected sites infested with Carduus thistles were made between 1974-76; 3 on musk thistle (Carduus nutans L.),2 6 on plumeless thistle (C. acanthoides L.), and one on a mixed stand. Establishment has been confirmed in the 3 musk thistle sites, one plumeless thistle and one mixed thistle site. These are the 1st establishments of C. horridus in North America. © 1979 Entomological Society of America.
