The following species of arthropods were exported from California to the U.S.S.R. for the biological control of ragweed (Ambrosia spp.): Tarachidia candefacta Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae); Coleophora sp. near annulatella Braun (Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae); and Eriophyes boycei Keifer (Acarina: Eriophyidae). Tarachidia candefacta represents the first insect species intentionally introduced from North America into Europe and established for biological weed control.

In the late 1970s, Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae), was targeted for classical biological control in Florida because its invasive properties (see Host Plants) are consistent with escape from natural enemies (Williams 1954), and there are no native Schinus spp. in North America. The lack of native close relatives should minimize the risk of damage to non-target plants from introduced biological control agents (Pemberton 2000). [...]
