Lantana lace bug, Teleonemia scrupulosa Stål (Hemiptera: Tingidae), is an important insect pest of lantana (Lantana camara L.). The adults and nymphs feed on the leaves, gradually deteriorating the quality of leaf tissue, as the affected leaves appear brown and desiccated. Infestations of T. scrupulosa reduce the market value of container plants in nurseries and the aesthetic value of ornamental landscapes. Because T. scrupulosa typically is managed using neonicotinoids and concerns related to the nontargeted effects of neonicotinoids on pollinators are mounting, practitioners are seeking alternative options to manage T. scrupulosa infestations. Insect growth regulators (IGRs) elicit transovarial activity, where adults exposed to IGRs produce nonviable eggs, but this effect has not been documented for T. scrupulosa.

昆虫生长调节剂对 Teleonemia scrupulosa（半翅目：Tingidae）产生跨卵巢效应

马缨丹花边虫，Teleonemia scrupulosa Stål（半翅目：Tingidae），是马缨丹（ Lantana camara L.）的重要害虫。成虫和若虫以叶子为食，使叶子组织的质量逐渐恶化，因为受影响的叶子呈现棕色和干燥。T. scrupulosa的侵扰降低了苗圃中容器植物的市场价值和观赏景观的审美价值。由于T. scrupulosa通常使用新烟碱类进行管理，并且与新烟碱类对传粉媒介的非靶向作用相关的担忧正在增加，因此从业者正在寻找替代方案来管理T. scrupulosa虫害。昆虫生长调节剂 (IGRs) 引发经卵巢活动，暴露于 IGRs 的成虫会产生无法存活的卵子，但对于T. scrupulosa而言，这种影响尚未得到证实。
