Abstract

BOUVET, Juan P. R.; HARRAND, Leonel  and  BUCKHARDT, Daniel. First record of Blastopsylla occidentalis and Glycaspis brimblecombei (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) from Argentina. Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2005, vol.64, n.1-2, pp.99-102. ISSN 0373-5680.

Two psyllid species are recorded for the first time from Argentina. They are pests originating from Australia that attack species of the genus Eucalyptus L´Hér. One of them, Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore is of great economic importance in neighboring countries for the damage which it is causing on its hosts. Little information on the biology and damage caused is available for the second species, viz Blastopsylla occidentalis Taylor.

Keywords : First Record; Entre Ríos; Psyllid; Pest; Eucalyptus.
