Abstract

Phylloxere notabilis Pergande, 1903, commonly known as the pecan leaf phylloxera, is a pest in the pecan-growing areas of the Southern and Eastern United States and Eastern Europe. Of the four species of Phylloxera known to occur on pecan, P. notebilis is the only species which has more than one generation of galls per year.
