abstract = "Leafminers represent one of the most important groups among invasive
phytophagous insects, while some leaf-mining species are significant pests in
agriculture, forestry and urban areas, as well. One of them is american grapevine
leafminer, Phyllocnistis vitegenella Clemens (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), which
has been introduced from North America to Italy (1994). Since then, this species
spread to many European countries. In Serbia, american grape leafminer was
recorded for the first time in vineyard in Neštin area, in September 2019. As this
invasive species adapts well to the new environmental conditions it has the potential
to become an important grapevine pest. Therefore, the aim of this study was to
determine distribution of P. vitegenella on grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) in Serbia.
The research was conducted during 2020 in total of 31 localities in Serbia (9
vineyards and 22 private yards). After visual inspection of grapevine, leaves with
mines that contains larvae or pupae were sampled and transported to the laboratory
where these preimaginal stages were reared in Petri dishes to adult eclosion in order
to species identification. During research, presence of P. vitegenella was recorded in
25 localities (5 vineyards and 20 private yards). The results of this research indicate
that P. vitegenella spread to many areas of our country in just one year after being
recorded for the first time in northern part of Serbia. The presence of this species on
grapevine not only in private yards, but also in vineyards, indicates its successful
acclimatization, which will be the subject of further research.",
