Introduced Eucalyptus psyllids in Brazil. Santana, D.L. de Q. tEmbrapa Florestas, Brazil; dalva@cnpfembrupa.br).In spite of the countless phytosanitary barriers and millions of dollars invested in the early detection, pest introductionsare frequent in different countries. Forest pest introductions such as the gypsy moth, the Chinese beetle and thewoodwasp required a great amount of resources to reduce the damage caused by them. In the last ten years fourspecies of psillid were detected in eucalyptus in Brazil: Ctenarytaina spatulata in 1994, Blastopsylla occidentalis in1997, Ctenarytaina eucalypti was introduced from the USA in 1990 (requiring the introduction of a specific parasitoidto minimize damage). In Brazil, it was detected in 1998 and the parasitoid, Psylaephagus sp, in the following year.Glvcaspis brimblecombei was introduced in June of 1998 in the USA; Mexico, 2000; Chile, 2002. In Brazil, it wasdetected in June of 2003, in São Paulo. Now it has spread to Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Paraná and Goiás states. Theparasitoid Psyllaephagus bliteus was detected in the same year. With the detection of this parasitoid it is hope that thepopulation of this psyllid will stabilize.
