Abstract

The life history of Glyphidocera juniperella Adamski (Lepidoptera: Blastobasidae) is presented. Larvae of this newly described blastobasid moth are serious pests of nursery, container-grown junipers. Larval feeding causes twig dieback and reduces plant value. Head capsule measurements indicate 6 instars in the 2 summer generations and 7 instars for the partial 3rd or overwintering generation.
