Altogether about 920 species of insects recorded from Eucalyptus worldwide, about six species are gall insects. Of these, Leptocybe invasa, is a major nursery pest of Eucalyptus, exclusively responsible for gall formation in seedlings and saplings, including coppice shoots. The insect has threatened Eucalyptus propagation in nursery stage. The present paper has reviewed succinctly the insect pests of Eucalyptus with special emphasis on gall insect, Leptocybe invasa Fisher & LaSalle (Hymenoptera : Eulophidae), its seasonal occurrence, nature of damage, host plants and description of gall insect, developmental stages of gall, natural enemies and management. The paper has highlighted the need for long term strategies to combat against this severe pest to prevent its spread.

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). [...]
