Status of Neogalea sunia as a biocontrol agent for Lantana camara in Hawaii

Neogalea sunia was originally introduced to Hawaii in 1955 from Mexico. It affects the leaves of lantana (Lantana camara), and overall is highly damaging to the plant. This species is parasitized by various Hymenoptera in Hawaii and other areas. (info from http://www.hear.org/bibliography/references/9497_broughton_2000/; info as of 2000)
