Abstract

PARRA-FUENTES, Madeleyne et al. First report of Dolichothrips indicus (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) in Colombia. Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2023, vol.82, n.3, pp.46-49.  Epub Aug 25, 2023. ISSN 0373-5680.

Dolichothrips indicus (Hood, 1919) (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) is frequently found in flower buds, flowers and inflorescences of different plant species, so its role as a possible pollinating agent is considered in several studies. The presence of D. indicus in panicles of the “Azúcar” variety mango crop is recorded for the first time in Colombia. The diagnostic morphological characteristics of the species are described and illustrated.

Keywords : Mangifera indica; Mango cv. azúcar; Panicle; Pollinator.
