Petition for field release of Tectococcus ovatus (Homoptera: Eriococcidae)
for classical biological control of strawberry guava, Psidium cattleianum Sabine
(Myrtaceae), in Hawaii (10 May 2005) 
"Tectococcus ovatus is proposed for release into the environment for biological control of P[sidium] cattleianum in the state of Hawaii. This highly specific insect produces leaf galls on P. cattleianum in its native range in Brazil. It is expected to reduce growth and reproduction of P. cattleianum, thereby limiting spread of the weed and production of fruits available to pest fruit flies...."
