Abstract

The moth Phyllocnistis sp. (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) is a common pest of chirimoyo (Annona cherimolia Mill) in dif­ferent regions of Colombia, especially in the stages of Bo­yacá and Cundinamarca. The larva of this insect mines the upper side of the leaves and may cause severe damage. Up to 85o/o of the leaves can be found with damage to the leaf­miner. A leaf may support up to eight larvae in different stages of development. The eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults of this insect are described in this work.
