Notes on Heortia vitessoides (Moore)(Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Odontiinae), an economically potential pest of Aquilaria Malaccensis Benth in Malaysia
A lepidopteran moth, Heortia vitessoides (Moore) (Crambidae: Odontiinae) was recorded for the first time attacking saplings of Aquilaria malaccensis Benth (Thymelaeaceae) in several plantations in Malaysia.
