Adults and immatures of Diaphorina teucrii sp. nov. (Hemiptera, Liviidae, Euphyllurinae) and adults of Tamarixia dorchinae sp. nov. (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae, Tetrastichinae) from Israel are described, diagnosed and illustrated. D. teucrii sp. nov. develops on Teucrium capitatum (Lamiaceae), representing a family which was previously not recorded as a psyllid host from Israel, and is parasitised...

Tests evaluating the host range of Tamarixia radiata (Waterson) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), a parasitoid of the pestiferous Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae), sourced from the Punjab of Pakistan, were conducted in quarantine at the University of California, Riverside, CA. Seven nontarget psyllid species (Þve native and two selfintroduced species) representing ...

The invasive Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri Kuwayama) is the vector of the bacterial pathogen (‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’) that is the putative causal agent of citrus greening disease (Huanglongbing disease) in citrus in many areas of the world. The capacity to predict the potential geographic distribution, phenology and relative abundance of the pest and disease is pivotal to ...

asian citrus psyllid, diaphorina citri kuwayama, is an important pest of citrus that transmits the bacterial pathogens responsible for citrus greening disease, also called huanglongbing. the aim of the current study was to investigate the shape variations of the forewing among the iranian geographic populations of d. citri, as well as one population from pakistan. the adult psyllids used in thi...

Abstract In the framework of a survey arthropods in rest stops Hungarian highways, 19 species jumping plant lice were collected. Three belong to family Aphalaridae, one Calophyidae, two Liviidae, nine Psyllidae and four Triozidae. Two ( Livilla variegata Trioza neglecta ) are alien, non-indigenous species; others native Hungary. The most abundant Calophya rhois , Cacopsylla melanoneura . specim...

‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ is an insect-transmitted, phloem-restricted ?-proteobacterium associated with huanglongbing. Here, we provide the whole genome sequence of ‘Ca. L. strain ReuSP1 from its insect vector Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae) collected in La Réunion. The composed 1,230,064 bp and has a 36.5% G+C content. This study reports first Réunion, which will add to resour...
