Introduced European genotypes of are invasive and widespread in North America. Decades of management using herbicide and other means have failed to control the species and its range and populations continue to expand. Allowing continued invasion threatens native wetland biota and an endemic North American subspecies . The lack of conventional management to control introduced triggered research to assess host specificity of two European noctuid moths, and . These two species are considered particularly promising potential biocontrol agents for introduced . Here we provide the complete and approved list of test plants used to assess host specificity of and . This includes data on neonate larval acceptance and survival under no-choice conditions, and oviposition tests for all plant species tested, including for different subspecies currently occurring in North America. We further provide temperature profiles of select cities in the temperate native European distribution of the two noctuids and those in southern US climates. We used these long-term temperature records to assess whether overwintering eggs of and can survive under climate conditions typical for the Gulf Coast region in North America.

引入的欧洲基因型在北美具有入侵性且分布广泛。几十年来，使用除草剂和其他手段进行管理未能控制该物种，其分布范围和种群仍在继续扩大。任由其持续入侵会威胁到本地湿地生物群以及北美特有的一个亚种。由于缺乏控制引入物种的常规管理方法，引发了对两种欧洲夜蛾（[夜蛾名称1]和[夜蛾名称2]）宿主特异性的研究评估。这两个物种被认为是控制引入物种特别有前景的潜在生物防治剂。在此，我们提供用于评估[夜蛾名称1]和[夜蛾名称2]宿主特异性的完整且经过批准的测试植物清单。这包括在无选择条件下新生幼虫的接受情况和存活数据，以及对所有测试植物物种的产卵测试，包括对北美目前存在的不同[物种名称]亚种的测试。我们还提供了这两种夜蛾在欧洲温带本土分布区以及美国南部气候区部分城市的温度概况。我们利用这些长期温度记录来评估[夜蛾名称1]和[夜蛾名称2]的越冬卵在北美墨西哥湾沿岸地区典型气候条件下是否能够存活。这篇数据文章参考了《北美两种潜在生物防治剂[夜蛾名称1]和[夜蛾名称2]对入侵[物种名称]的宿主特异性及风险评估》（《生物防治》，2018年）。
