Demographic analysis of the fitness of Problepsis superans (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) feeding on three ligustrum (Lamiales: Oleaceae) species.

Using the age-stage, two-sex life table, the effects of three ligustrum species, Ligustrum x vicaryi Hort., Ligustrum quihoui Carrière, and Ligustrum lucidum Aiton, on the fitness of Problepsis superans (Butler, 1885) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) were assayed by considering life table parameters of P. superans at 27 +/- 1 degrees C, 70 +/- 5% relative humidity, and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L: D) h.
