Alien:
Reared from cotton, common and injurous (Georghiou 1977); a rather heavy attack by this species and Earias insulana usually develpos in cotton bools towards the end of the summer in all areas. The practice of sowing cotton rather late, so that the crop matures in October and November, causes this damage to be more serious than if the crop matured in August and September when the attack is slight (Morris 1937).
