Oviposition and nymphal development of the hawthorn lace bug,Corythucha cydoniae(Fitch), were evaluated on 13 species or cultivars ofCotoneaster. C. cydoniaehad high oviposition and nymphal survival on glabrous foliage ofC. dammeri‘Royal Beauty’ C. K. Schneid. Low oviposition and nymphal survival occurred on pubescent foliage ofC. lacteusW. W. Sm. Leaf pubescence seemed to have an inhibitory effect on oviposition and nymphal survival. Oviposition was not affected by application of neem seed extract to the foliage.
