Epiphyas postvittana (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), the light brown apple moth (LBAM), is an important leafroller pest with an exceptionally wide host range that includes many horticultural crops and other woody and herbaceous plants. LBAM is native to southeastern Australia but has invaded Western Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, much of England, and in 2007, it was confirmed as established in California. The discovery of this pest in California has led to a major detection and regulatory effort because of concerns about economic and environmental impacts. Its recent discovery in Sweden is also of note. LBAM has often been intercepted on imports of fruit and other plant parts, and it has the potential to become a successful invader in temperate and subtropical regions worldwide. The importance of the insect has prompted development of classical biological control programs together with a wide variety of other management interventions that can be used in integrated pest management or integrated pest eradication.
榆绿毛萤叶甲（Epiphyas postvittana（Walker））（鳞翅目：卷叶蛾科），又被称为淡褐苹果卷叶蛾，是一种重要的食叶害虫，其寄主范围极广，包括许多园艺作物以及其他木本和草本植物。榆绿毛萤叶甲原产于澳大利亚东南部，但已入侵西澳大利亚、新西兰、夏威夷、英国大部分地区，并且在 2007 年，其在加利福尼亚州的定殖也得到了确认。这种害虫在加利福尼亚州的发现引起了重大的探测和监管工作，因为人们担心其会对经济和环境产生影响。其最近在瑞典的发现也值得注意。榆绿毛萤叶甲通常会在水果和其他植物部分的进口中被截获，它有可能在全球的温带和亚热带地区成为一种成功的入侵物种。该昆虫的重要性促使人们制定了传统的生物防治计划，同时还开发了各种各样的其他管理干预措施，这些措施可以用于病虫害综合治理或病虫害根除。
