biological control of weedy blackberries, Rubus
constrictus Lefevre &
Mueller & R. ulmifolius Schott (Rosaceae),
was attained with Phragmidium violaceum
(Schultz) Winter introduced from Germany to Chile in 1973 (Oehrens
1977). Efforts to control Rubus spp. in New Zealand and
Hawaii were at the most only partially successful (see Imms 1929, Tillyard
1929, 1930, 1934; Thompson 1930, Cameron 1935, Miller 1936, 1939, 1940; Davis
