LANTANA, Lantana camara L. -- Verbenaceae (Contacts) Koebele explored the jungles of southern Mexico
during 1902 for insects feeding on lantana (Lantana camara
L., Verbenaceae). Lantana was an
ornamental plant of Central and South American origins that had escaped from
cultivation to become a serious pest in Hawaii. Koebele shipped 23 species of insects to Hawaii (Goeden
1978). Koebele suffered problems of
extreme temperatures, unscheduled shipping delays, pathogens and other
contaminants (Perkins & Swezey 1924).
Upon their arrival by ship in 1903, the insects Koebele collected were
liberated directly on lantana plants in the field without host specificity
tests. Eight species, including some
of the most effective natural enemies of lantana, were reported established
on this plant throughout the islands by 1905 (Andrés & Goeden 1971,
Goeden 1978, Julien 1982). Procedures for exploration of natural enemies
of an alien plant in its country or countries of origin were pioneered in the
lantana project. The lantana seed
fly, Ophiomyia lantanae (Froggatt) (Diptera: Agromyzidae),
was transferred from Hawaii to New Caledonia in 1908-1909 and to Fiji in 1911
(Rao et al. 1971). These shipments
marked the beginnings of a tradition of transfer projects (DeBach 1964),
involving biological control agents of proven worth to other countries with
the same noxious plants. Three more
species of lantana insects were then transferred from Hawaii to Fiji during
1922-1928 (Rao et al. 1971). For further details on biological control
efforts, and biologies of host and natural enemies, please see the following
