An outbreak of Tiracola plagista (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on coffee in the Western Highlands district of Papua New Guinea
Crotalaria sempeflorens Vent. (Leguminosae), a recent illegitimate plant introduction into Papua New Guinea, was implicated as a preferred host of T. plagiata and its use as a temporary shade over young coffee is believed to have caused the outbreak. Two new ichneumonid pupal parasites of T. plagiata-Lissopimpla scutata Krieger and Ichneumon promissorius Erichson were bred from host pupae collected during the outbreak
