Macremphytus testaceus (Allantini) larva on dogwood
Taxonus pallipes (Allantini)
Economic importance
Host plants include strawberries, raspberries, roses, violets, dogwood, and loosestrife. Larvae often pupate in fruit or wood.[3]
Monostegia abdominalis has larvae that feed on Primulaceae, and was introduced into Canada in about 1965 and is a major pest of Yellow Loosestrife (Lysimachia terrestris).[4][5]
