Abstract

AMUN, Cristian; DEBES, Mario A.; GONZALEZ, Patricia  and  ARIAS, Marta E.. First record of the association between the mealybug Ferrisia meridionalis (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) and Duchesnea indica (Rosaceae). Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2020, vol.79, n.3, pp.1-10. ISSN 0373-5680.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.25085/rsea.790306.

Duchesnea indica (Andrews) Focke (Rosaceae) is a species with numerous genotypes, present in different environments, and without register of associations with any pseudococcidae. From the analysis of specimens from the Banco de Germoplasma de Frutilla - Universidad Nacional de Tucumán (BGF-UNT), the presence of individuals of the species Ferrisia meridionalis Williams was observed in vegetative pieces and reproductive organs of plants of the genotype D. indica f. albocaput. We report the association between F. meridionalis and D. indica for the first time.
