Given its biology and recent spread into New Zealand, this moth may be a pest risk for many fruit crops and native plant species if it is proved to have been introduced in New Caledonia. Indeed, this record challenges our capabilities to identify insect interceptions in the context of a high gap of taxonomic knowledge in New Caledonia. It also urges high endemism islands to implement early detection protocols to prevent establishment and spread of new invasive species. specialized Exotic species Biosecurity Biological invasion Risk assessment 076 15 2 283-285 2012 1226-8615 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010057092 10.1016/j.aspen.2012.02.005 1226-8615 [F B010057092] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010057092 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2012/09/010057092.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2012-10-03 2017-08-23 fdi:010057092 fre
