Abstract
Surveys of the phytophagous insect faunas on Baccharis conferta and B. dioica were undertaken in Mexico as part of a program to find biologi cal control agents for B. halimifolia, a serious weed in Australia. Fi fty-three species were found on B. conferta but only eleven species on B. dioica. No species, from either plant, was considered a potentiall y valuable biological control agent for B. halimifolia.
