Happy to see our collaborative (Belgium, Colombia, South Africa and Australia) works published online (Neotropical Entomology; Springer Nature). We have provided taxonomic and molecular diagnoses based on morphological and genetic data as well as historic literature for the identification, host preferences, and global distribution of Stomphastis thraustica (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), an approved biological control agent of Jatropha gossypiifolia in Australia.
