Tomato leaf miner (TLM) also feeds on various solanaceous weeds (Chidege et al. 2016). Tuta absoluta was originally described by Meyrick, (1917) as Phthorimaea absoluta, based on individuals collected from Huancayo (Peru). Povolny, (1964) described it as Scrobipalpula in 1964, and transferred absoluta to this genus. Clarke, (1965) transferred absoluta to Gnorimoschema as a new combination. Becker, (1984) included absoluta in Scrobipalpula in Heppner's Atlas of Neotropical Lepidoptera, but did not list it as a new combination.
