Psyllid pests (Hemiptera, Psylloidea) in South American eucalypt plantations
Mitteilungen der Schweizerischen Entomologischen Gesellschaft 72 (1), 1-10
Abstract: Ctenarytaina eucalypti (MASKELL, 1890) and Ctenarytaina spatulata TAYLOR, 1997 (Psyllidae: Spondyliaspidini) are currently producing considerable damage to eucalypt plantations in Brazil and Uruguay, as does Blastopsylla occidentalis TAYLOR, 1985, in Brazil. The species were relatively recently discovered and are, so far, the only eucalypt psyllids in South America. As eucalypts are widely planted in other South American countries, these pests may well become more widespread in the Neotropics. Information is provided on distribution, biology and damage of these psyllids in South America. Morphological differences between C. eucalypti and C. spatulata are detailed and illustrated.
