Abstract: The EoNPV is an important pathogenic microorganism. And EoNPV can cause the death of Ectropis obliqua Prout and Ectropis grisescens in tea plantation. In order to further clarify the virulence difference of EoNPV to two sibling species of E. obliqua and E. grisescens. The leaf disk method feeding with two sibling species 3th instar larvae was used to find out the difference in virulence. The results showed that LD50 of E. grisescens was 28.9 times as E. obliqua. The LT50 of E. obliqua was less than E. grisescens. It showed that toxicity was different in two sibling species of tea genometrids. EoNPV had higher pathogenicity to E. obliqua. It had practical significance for using EoNPV to control the two sibling species of tea plantation.

Key words: Ectropis obliqua, Ectropis grisescens, EoNPV, leaf disc method, LD50, LT50
