Integrated Pest Management of Eucalypt Psyllids (Insecta, Hemiptera, Psylloidea)

Eucalypts, which are native to Australia, grow rapidly and have multiple uses. Because of these properties, they are planted on all continents except for Antarctica. In Brazil, many eucalypt species find suitable weather and environmental conditions to develop and today they are commercially grown on a large scale. In 2010, plantations covered a surface of over 4.75 million hectares (ABRAF, 2011). In Australia, eucalypts host an abundant fauna of phytophagous insects, among which the jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) are particularly species rich.

A review of Afrotropical plant-lice of the genus Moraniella,with description of a new species (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Psyllidae: Rhinocolinae)

ABSTRACT Moraniella bella sp. n. is added to the hitherto monotypic Afrotropical genus Moraniella. The new species from South Africa is described, illustrated and compared with M. calodendri. On the basis of the new species an emended diagnosis of Moraniella is provided. M. bella is associated with Protorhus longifolia (Anacardiaceae), a host family typical for the Rhinocolinae. The single available larva was parasitised by an unidentified chalcidoid wasp.
