Hellula phidilealis (Walker, 1859)

My use of this name is based on Trinidad material in the NHMUK, but I have seen no material from Tobago. There is no record from Tobago in the CIE (1964) pest distribution map for this species, although Tobago is included in the encircled area of distribution. Similarly it is not specifically reported by Alam (1989) or Sommeijer (1974). Yaseen et al. (1977) refer to cabbage integrated pest management in Trinidad and Tobago, but the text makes clear that the work relates specifically to Trinidad. As a result of an enquiry that I initiated, Deanne Ramroop, Plant Pathologist, Ministry of Agriculture, Trinidad and Tobago, wrote to Vyju Lopez, FAO Plant Regional Protection Officer, 9 Apr 2014: ‘I spoke with the Crop Protection Officer, Tobago (Ms. Casey Boucher). She indicated that Hellula [ phidilealis ] is present in Tobago and farmers do report [it] periodically but it is not a major problem.’
