c) Leaf-blister sawfly (Phylacteophaga froggatti)<br />

Leaf-blister sawfly was accidentally introduced to WA in 1978. The distribution range of this<br />

species is restricted to coastal areas. It appears that this species is not able to maintain populations<br />

during the dry hot summers of inland areas. The most effective species of natural enemy is missing<br />

from WA (Loch et al., 2004); however, a suite of other specialist and generalist natural enemies are<br />

present in WA. Eggs are laid mostly on juvenile leaves, so most damage occurs in plantations up to<br />

three years old.<br />
