The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of
Tecia solanivora
(Lepidoptera:
Gelechiidae) the Guatemalan potato tuber moth, for the EU.
T. solanivora
is a well-de
fi
ned species
which feeds exclusively on
Solanum tuberosum
. It was
fi
rst described from Costa Rica in 1973 and has
spread through Central America and into northern South America via trade of seed potatoes. It has
also spread to Mexico and the Canary Islands and most recently to mainland Spain where it is under
of
fi
cial control in Galicia and Asturias. Potatoes in the
fi
eld and storage can be attacked. Some authors
regard
T. solanivora
as the most important insect pest of potatoes globally.
T. solanivora
is currently
regulated by Council Directive 2000/29/EC, listed in Annex II/AI as
Scrobipalpopsis solanivora
. Larvae
feed and develop within potato tubers; infested tubers therefore provide a pathway for pest
introduction and spread, as does the soil accompanying potato tubers if it is infested with eggs or
pupae. As evidenced by the ongoing outbreaks in Spain, the EU has suitable conditions for the
development and potential establishment of
T. solanivora
. The pest could spread within the EU via
movement of infested tubers; adults can
fl
y and disperse locally. Larval feeding destroys tubers in the
fi
eld and in storage. In the warmer southern EU, where the development would be fastest, yield losses
would be expected in potatoes. Measures are available to inhibit entry via traded commodities (e.g.
prohibition on the introduction of
S. tuberosum
).
T. solanivora
satis
fi
es all of the criteria assessed by
EFSA to satisfy the de
fi
nition of a Union quarantine pest. It does not satisfy EU regulated non-
quarantine pest (RNQP) status because it is under of
fi
cial control. There are uncertainties over the
effectiveness of preventing illegal imports via passenger baggage and the magnitude of potential
impacts in the cool EU climate. [-]
